Japanese gamers are complaining about you guys in Tonberry / Masamune server.

There is a thread in the Japanese beta forum where some of the Japanese are complaining that they think there are more foreigners than Japanese people on Tonberry / Masamune server.

The Japanese complain because they see a lot of "gaijins" shouting in English. Japanese don't use the /shout very often. That is considered rude & they mostly use /shout for asking questions (very politely), but they don't use that for general chat.

Now you know why the Japanese servers are so quiet compared to NA/EU servers.

Right now, it's only a small number of Japanese complaining about the foreigners.

Most of them actually enjoying playing with us. One Japanese even mentioned that she found it cute when people tried to communicate in romanji with them. laugh.gif

Yeah. They're very nice people but we have to account for the vocal minority (ala the forum post). Maybe I should have ask my friend in Tokyo to teach me  hmm.gif

I think some Japanese do not like to play with foreigners because they don't know how to communicate with you. I mean, some Japanese really can't type a single word of English other than "hi" and "bye". They don't hate you, but they are just scared. I think this is their culture.

Major traffic jam during EA is expected:

QUOTE
We are expecting major congestion during the period starting with the Early Access on Aug. 24, 2013 at 2:00 a.m. (PDT) leading up to the official game launch on Aug. 27, 2013 (PDT).

If a large volume of players attempt to login to the game simultaneously, certain players may receive the following message: “This World is currently full. Players in queue: ##.” If you receive this message, we ask that you please wait until your login is processed.

In addition, in order to avoid server congestion related issues from multiple characters concentrating in the starting areas, we may implement restrictions on logins and/or the creation of new characters for a period of time after the servers open to the public.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

2 more days to go for EA!

btw, for those who want to get the PS3 digital version, it's still available on US PSN & there's no need to key in any pre-order codes. Everything is automatically set up for you by PSN. thumbup.gif

"One code to bind them all" - sounds so familiar to Lords of the Rings. laugh.gif

On PS3, I don't need any codes. Just log into my account & I already got my EA & preorder bonus waiting for me. brows.gif

is it still possible to buy the pre order and get the early access?

For PC, it's too late already.

For PS3, it's still available. If you buy it from US PSN, you can get EA with pre order bonus. icon_idea.gif

buy ps3 version to get EA then buy pc version to play. make sure you use same square enix id for ps3 and pc. i think this will work

That won't work. Early access is tied to 1 platform only.

This has been confirmed by people in gamefaqs: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/678051-fina...reborn/67054134

depends on how the current system works...since there are some changes on bard requirement i guess. Alot lvl 50 bard says that bard is not pulling skill from CNJ anymore instead is pulling from PUG and lancer class. This also lead to speculation of the job requirement change for bard as well as might require 3rd class...not sure abt others but all is still speculation...lets just wait for the game launch or EA to have better clarification

looks like you are right about THM being one of the requirements for Summoner.

the nice people at the official FFXIV forum told me that the requirements for unlocking summoner is Arcanist level 30 and having Thaumaturge to level 15.

Aw, thought it was CNJ. Leveled up that one on p4. Wrong track I guess sweat.gif

For the protection spell, levelling up CNJ is not a total waste of time.

Looks like I have to suffer another 15 levels of boredom levelling up THM if I want to get Summoner.

It is safe to assume not all 700k people will be logging in the moment EA start. At most it will be 50%, due to timezone and geographic differences.

It's not safe to assume that, because some people really hard core. Even if it's 3 AM in the morning for them, they will log in to play. sweat.gif

No, US PSN digital game will not work with EU square enix account because it's region locked to US.

You will need US account to play.

You just said it yourself, some are hardcore, not all. Some people preorder it, and EA is a bonus/perks for the preorder.
So again, it is safe to assume not all 700k subscriber with EA will login at the same time, due to timezone differences and geographic locations.

Anyway, think what you like. I am not here to force my thinking onto you that's for sure.  smile.gif
If you prefer to surmise at opening the server will be loaded with all 700k preorder customer and all legacy player, by all means go ahead. Who am i to say otherwise?  smile.gif

think what I like? unlike you, I don't think. I have facts to back me up:

Pre orders for the game was only available at US PSN at the time.

Now it's closed already. You can still get it at US PSN but without EA & pre order bonus.
