#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Tonaka]

I would like to explain why I decided to post on an overseas forum this time.
This is going to be a very long post, and I will also be covering topics other than games. I apologize if there are people who don't like long texts or feel uncomfortable.

This is an attempt that can only be made in overseas forums. I am confident that if this attempt is successful, a new path will open up.

When I am faced with a negative situation and find myself thinking negatively, I try to think in a different way.
I don't know if these feelings and feelings will reach everyone. I post with the feeling of "Will it reach me? I hope it reaches me!"


1. Differences between overseas and Japanese forums
At the Japan Forum, moderators strictly control defamatory opinions, topics unrelated to discussion, and inappropriate comments. Your post will be deleted immediately. For those on overseas forums, maybe the moderators aren't looking at it or the FB isn't reaching them? I think there are some people who have doubts about this. I've only seen a few of them, but I get the feeling that even posts that would be deleted in Japan are ignored.

Instead of lamenting this situation, what if we changed our way of thinking in a positive direction? When I thought about it, I came to a conclusion. Could it not be deleted due to differences in national culture or language? That's the conclusion. What this means is that you can post and discuss things that cannot be discussed on the Japanese Forum.

In Japanese forums, even if you publish a different game title, people will explain it and bring it up because they are worried that it will be deleted. I guess you don't have to worry about that in overseas forums. MMO history has been going on for over 20 years. I'm sure there are many people who have played many MMOs other than FF14. I think you can freely discuss what was good and bad about other games, and what elements you would like to see incorporated into FF14. Unfortunately, I think this is something that will be deleted on the Japanese forum. This is a big advantage.

Thank you for your very thoughtful post! You brought up very interesting points. Japanese players are always welcome to post here using machine translation and I'm sure this sentiment is unanimous among English speaking forum users. I believe you are correct in saying that here is more freedom to express ideas and opinions about the game in overseas forums and I'm glad more Japanese players are taking the opportunity to do so. Reading different perspectives enriches discussions and knowing that our ideas have support around the world makes everyone feel less alone.
