Thanks for the prompt response. I'm still undecided on whether I want to play FF or not but I'd like to know which server region you guys are playing so I know where I can find some people to group or play with. I tend to dislike grind and grindy games. I'm not big on lore but it helps if there is a sense of direction to the events in game. I wanted to buy the american version of the game but it wouldn't let me. I have yet to convince myself to play almost twice for the same game as Euro is more expensive than Dollar.

So which region is best for us, playing from Pakistan, US or Europe or Asia? If anyone has bought the game, which region server are they playing on? I tend to pick pacific time servers since it is easy for me to figure out their timings.
havent tried the jap region for this game so no idea about pings there..generally in MMOs its better for us pakistanis to be playing on the EU region..as for being unable to buy well thats because they have temporarily stopped digital sales due to heavy server traffic...and the game is region free so even if you buy from NA, you can play on EU or NA or JAP servers(although NA region game can only be redeemed on NA Square Enix Account)

There are a few of us pakistanis playing on the Odin server. It doesn't matter if you make an account on the EU or NA servers both have same ping since the data centers for both EU and NA are located in Canada. Just don't make on on a Japanese server, we get close to 400 ping to Japan.

We play very casually though. You can make one character per world for the regular subscribers. Just play wherever you want.

So guys is there anything special about this game in terms of mechanics? Does it do some shit that other MMOs don't or is it just a regular MMO in a Final Fantasy themed setting?

Final Fantasy XIV Players To Get Extended Free Trials Following Troubled Launch

“To ensure as many players as possible can log in and create characters on existing servers, our development and operations teams are monitoring server load and population around the clock, placing and removing restrictions with even the slightest fluctuation in numbers in order to maintain near-full capacity on each World,”

Yoshida writes on the game’s official forums. “We are still experiencing maximum concurrent connection numbers of over 230,000 users. This number, however, has taxed some of our instance servers, and is causing unexpected down time here, as well.”

if you liked GW2 then its possible that you might not like this..it takes you back to the target and fire MMOs..WoW type ones whereas guild wars 2 was VERY fast paced and action oriented
me downloading the game client, once done I will ask you to pm me usID and Pass.
sure..IF you can get in :D all the servers are full, you cant even make any new characters..they are upgrading the data centres though(one downfall of cross platform gameplay...the traffic increases by a huge number)

    Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
