But the whole English player Image is sourly soiled by those few NA players that are in my opinon over all bad people. Its one to disagree with someone and how they do things, but its another to just be a complete arse about it and just talk down to people, I hate elietists and personally think the way the japanese player base plays is a very friendly and peacful way…

In saying that youll find the “bad type” of people anywhere in the world its a sad fact but its human nature, but as for the whole NA only, and JP only thing. Its understandable but its unfair, specially to the few like myself are considered a “NA” player just because we somewhat share the same language thou my playtime is the same as Japanese players.

Ive met my fair size of Nice people and a amount of bad people, over all every Japanese player ive met have been nice towards me, and ive been nice towards them. frankly im not saying that all NA players are like this, but the only problems i get on ffxi are from NA players, even other english speaking players find some people rude, and im more than sure some japanese players find some of thier own players rude.

its human nature we need to get along. but i do have a problem with being linked with one countries problems purely based on a shared language.

Well theres my 2cents + a tad bit of a rant lol, but on notes, “auto translate” could be easier to use with more things to say, and Politely written on both sides,
/check msg should be disabled period, And people need to worry about themself only and not how others play the game, its thier money thier char, so get over yourselves if you think your better. until you know all the facts and the background about some you shouldnt judge them.

Many things need to be changed, alot of it is attitude based and a degree of people needing to simply grow up and get over thierselves.

Also many people with English as their 1st language even have problems with gamma, so learning as a 2nd, well, what hope is there?

On the mixed servers, I do agree SE should have surveyed what both Japanese and English players want before doing anything. People can want the most unthinkable things, thus surveys are really needed yo find out for sure.

With the auto-translator, SE really should heed to what their players want. More phases and ways to communicate with others of different languages, would make it a lot easier.

Thank you very much for putting this together.

As well as NA players (generally) feeling that finding a replacement for themselves is doing the party a service, rather than an inservice. This in part is the reason I love what you have done here, it can help us realize some of the things they find rude, selfish, or just plain annoying, and maybe now we can try more to understand their point of view.

Last thing! The biggest help to me personally was reading that they were happy when we try to speak Japanese. I was always unsure about this, I thought that they might think that I was trying to mock them, or that I shouldn’t try to speak Japanese, if I couldn’t speak well, this is definitely something I will start doing more ^^.

However, I have not seen much of this JP/NA segregation in Asura. in the FFXIAH forum that led me here, it could possibly be because Asura was created much later than the original servers, but all the JP characters I have interacted with seem very pleasant and I myself have never had an unpleasant experience with them. However, I don’t know if they liked or disliked me.. but I tended to keep quiet in the party because I couldn’t communicate.
