Final Fantasy Prison.....Follow

I've seen "JP ONLY" probably 1000s of times by now.

But not once, have I seen "EN ONLY" or "NA ONLY".

i have had to call GM's several times for harrasement and have had sucess for the most part. none of this we will look into it. i also have reported two bots and saw them booted shortly afterwards. so they do, do more then "Look into it". as for the auto translator it does really need some fixing >_<

It's early yet, at least give him to the close of the business day. ^^

The GM was prolly a JP. What I think you did is close to crossing the line.....but not enough for a GM call. Its just some people in this game happen to be pricks. A lot of those pricks are JP. I have run into a few nice JP. One even helped me with my rank 3 mission. But lets not turn this game into a big racial issue.

Ok Caude, then test this thing a bit more.

When your playing capabilities are reinstated, change it up. Put in your info:

"English = No Thanks!" "Japanese Party ONLY"

If you get pinched, at least you know that GMs are hyper-sensitive in general, not just when it has to deal with the nation of the game's origin. If nothing happens to you, well then you have every right to come back here and complain about the horrible double-standard and the injustice you've suffered. Unfortunately, you'll likely be unable to do much more than that...but at least you'll have the support of additional forum goers (a wonderful consolation, I'm sure).

...hooray for so-called "political correctness!!!"

What I really want to see is more apologetic and friendly translating with the interaction between Japanese and English. This definitely smacks of misinterpretation, on the same level as the /check translating to a stalker-like inference in Japanese. We have enough problems like outright racism and stereotypes...can't we just get some more accurate wording used in the Auto-Translator?

BTW, I've been to Moridon Gaol. It's not just a place to put banned players....It's also used as a GM waiting room for FFXI planned events, like weddings. :)

Yeah, I was on the way to Sandy to be best man person thing in my friends wedding. Got teleported in there, choco and all XD

Is there really a "jail" in this game where you log on and your behind bars? Or are you just being suspended from the game and your calling it jail.

--TupaK

just curious, can you logout when you are in jail, and log back in when jail time's up?

My gut reaction was that he was full of it as well. I mean, the dude refuses to give any details? He expects us to take this at face value without any supporting evidence? Assume this wasn't a "negative" thread about Japanese players; would you still be so willing to trust this dude?

Let's say, instead, he showed up with a story like, "I have camped every NM in the game and gotten every drop, almost always on the first try! I know how to do this, but I won't tell you either my server name, my character name, nor how to make this work." Would you not be going, 'Pft, yeah right.'?

I view claims like this in the same light: Someone is trying to stir things up. Maybe they have a beef with a JP player or players, or got busted by a GM and are now trying to make all GMs look bad. To me, it's just some anonymous parade-rainer come to **** in the pool and pretend it wasn't them.

Edit: Wow, I got a karmic *****-slap for every post in this thread? I feel like one of the big kids now, sniff.

Edit II: Ahh, anyone who disagreed with the dude got rated down. Now I follow.

I'm not one-sided, I'm fair, at least in my eyes. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I have never, EVER, had any sort of problem with a Japanese player. I've even been in crap-*** JP parties that made almost no xp, and had bad equipment. And mostly, I'm tired of people that aren't intuitive or skilled enough to be good at the game whose knee-jerk action is to be blatantly racist and blame the JP community for their problems.

I mean, really. Do you honestly believe that if there was a NA-only server, NM's would be shared openly by all, everything would cost 5 gil, and we could all hold hands and sing? Get real. People are people, no matter what side of the ocean they're on. We've built up a huge mystique about how 'uber' JP parties and players are, and completely forgotten that they are human, just like us, and falliable. People will either idolize them for their wealth and/or skill, or hate them for it, it's as simple as that. They are, to most people, the 'upper class' citizens of the game, because they've got the best gear, the highest rank, blah blah blah. And, as in real life, what do people that aren't in the upper class feel about them? They either idolize them for their wealth and privilege and attempt to emulate it, or they fear and hate it because they don't have the same resources. This is the same damn thing. The vast, unwashed masses have made the JP player base into a straw man, a enemy to pin all of the evils of the game on, when it's mostly their own incompetence at work. And, honestly, I'm quite sure that there are a large, LARGE number of JP players that think the NA players are making the game horrible. But that's life. People are People. We're all going to ***** up, we're all going to make mistakes. But what's unacceptable is blaming our own failings on a subset of others that has no responsibility for us in the first place.

This was slightly off-topic, I know, but I think it needed to be said. Now whoever is camping me, go back to your regularly scheduled activites of trying to destroy a number by my name because you now think I am a 'bad person'.

Pfft, I'd take up botting just for the beastmen seals!
