A new hope rises for LA Data Center!

[Lenora_Sixel]

Just as a start, i want to preface how happy i am for our friends at Oceania. I was screaming my shit off when they announced the new data center, because it shed a new light on a future, hypothetical Latin American data center.

I don't want to jump the gun and be too anxious because, as SE themselves said, it was some of a long coming that they had to work really hard to achieve. But, as Ethys said on the keynote discussion podcast, we need to raise our voice. We need to make ourselves known, so that one day, even if after years to come, we may also marvel at the low latency XIV!

It won't be easy though. Aside from the technical difficulties, we'll have to face some hurdles that our aussie friends didn't, such as:

• ES/PT-BR Localization
• ES/PT-BR customer support

I believe most of us wouldn't mind continuing to play the game in english so that we could bypass some of those hurdles, but i'm well aware that not everyone is proficient enough with the english language and would welcome a localization with open arms. But we'll raise our voices, we'll join forces so that mister Square Enix can, one day, make our dreams come true.

We have a big, lovingly community of brazillian players, and i'm sure our latin american friends would also appreciate a low-latency XIV. Hugs and kisses from a veteran brazillian player, and we'll se each other in Behemoth! <3

This is just the start!

It took a lot of convincing for them to make an Oceania data center. You people will need to do the same! Good luck.

I'm sure it will, friend! Thanks for your support

I wish you all the best. For starters I would recommend making a petition. People say they never work, but I think in this case it actually would help if you could get the numbers. They need to see how many people would like this data center, so that when it is added, they know it will actually be used.

Yes please! We from South America deserve a LA Data Center, please rate this proposal <3

Making our voices heard in hopes of a SA server!

[ecoflute]

Yes please!!!!

[Depore_Magnesethia]

Ah yes please, latency make some classes extremely difficult to play

Yes it took alot of convincing for Oceanic servers. People who were part of world first on different pieces of content voiced their concerns. Several Reddit posts, physical letters to SE headquarters, content creators voicing their concerns, several interviews.

I really hope LA Data center gets put in the works. Hopefully the Lunar whales can help pay for them since that money goes straight back to ffxiv.

A DC that will probably only last two years, so I wouldn't hold my breath if I were them. Oceanic servers historically for almost every game get built and then shutdown extremely fast.
