Whatever happens, whether DC travel is expanded to cross-regions or they implement cross-region queues for content, JP will remain a separate, isolated region. At the end of the day, it's only the opinion of JP players that matter, and they've been very, very vocal about this issue which is why DC travel was implemented in the region locked state that it is in. If you're playing on JP and you're not a JP national who can speak Japanese, you're going to get kicked from content, blacklisted, and just have a really bad time. The JP playerbase tolerated Australians and New Zealanders in the Tonberry containment server but ever since the DC travel was announced they have been on an absolute crusade against all non Japanese players simply because they don't want the JP servers to be included in cross-DC travel. They don't want players from other parts of the world coming in and messing their space up, and that's something we can all understand, if not condone. Sometimes it's about sending a message.
