I'm in Japan, but today I was able to help a new player from Poland, and had a nice long chat with a friend from Greece.
The other day I was given a Decorated Horn Staff crafted by a friend who lives in Colombia, who was introduced by a friend in the United States.

We may all be on very different parts of this earth, but we can be together as friends on Eorzea.

That is what I like most about this game. ^^
