This kind of thing has to stop...

>.> you don't think Japanese steal? (btw in that lined quote you quoted me on was people in the Navy I worked with....) Also for your information I do live in Japan. To let you know just a few months ago their was a wide range of conbini store thefts and taxi cab thefts from people with knives.... Crime is everywhere man, just because it isn't plastered all over the news everyday like it is in America doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

QFT.

The reason Japanese look clean, polite, and sophisticated is because that's the way they want you to see them. Their entire culture is embedded with cover-ups. Meanwhile, America values sincerity and honesty over politeness, which makes us seem brutish and vulgar. But really, we're all the same.

Is this better or worse than almost every NA player being too lazy to type out the word "you" or finishing their sentences with "lol" for punctuation?

Lazy typists don't piss me off. The rage induced by not knowing if the WWWWWWs coming after every time I type or make the slightest mistake are directed at me or not. I can surely guarantee if it is directed at me, its not them laughing WITH me..

Also one thing is for sure, when you manage to catch a racial slur via google translate and call them out on it, they sure shut the hell up in a hurry.

People should step back and take a good look at this thread. With the amount of racist, ignorant posts you're no better than any xenophobic Japanese.
If you prefer to judge members of a society by the idiots and asshats, then you might as well do yourself a favor and shoot yourself to not have to endure the stupidity of our great modern society, no matter the country

Yeah he is definitely doing that right now. Can this thread be closed please? It is bordering offensive right now and I could go on all day about stupid Canadians, Europeans, Americans, and Japanese but its pointless. Stop making yourselves look bad.

[Dubont]

well...that escalated rather quickly...

All I'm saying is that if you don't want to play with different cultures, you don't need to play a multicultured game and there needs to be someway of putting those that don't where they belong.

Motion seconded. This thread's gotten so out of hand that it's uncomfortable to read.

Before this thread gets locked..which it most likely will lol I just wanted to say...to those comparing "JP only" to others shouting for specific jobs...um, those are JOBS..in a game we are all playing. What more are you supposed to do? Not shout which jobs are needed and go do something without healers? That will get you far!

It does not limit people by their language...it limits them to their jobs which everyone can level up if they want. But not everyone has the time to sit around and learn every language in the world. and with that I am done lol. Inb4 the lock!

It is the same thing basically. You shout for people who can speak your language, you shout for ifrit but only want BLMs after the usual 2 WHM and tank join, why aren't you shouting for MNKs and DRGs? Why BLMs only?

You're just shouting what you want, it's just people take everything to a different connotation that isn't there.

It's not about that. While some JP players limit their party to Japanese speaking people only, they mostly accept any class or job as long as you are good at it. EN parties just go "lol melee dps? who needs that in this encounter? gtfo". It's usually the Japanese who prove over and over again that those encounters can be cleared with any job and having fun doing it instead of the rest just sticking to the "safe" setups.

it limits them to their jobs which everyone can level up if they want. But not everyone has the time to sit around and learn every language in the world. and with that I am done lol. Inb4 the lock!

The initial complaint was, "Being declined or kicked from parties, not based on our gear, skill or ability to just play the game, but on language".

"Being declined or kicked from parties, not based on our gear, skill or ability to just play the game based on one's job" is not one bit better. I don't have the time to learn how to play all of the "needed" jobs of FFXIV and besides, I don't want to play a job that is boring to me (hello, BLM)

The game is supposed to be fun, but most players seem to have forgotten it and see it as their "job" instead.
