Hi i am a level 70 rng on Remora. I am from the Netherlands and imported the game from USA a year ago !
I dont see any problem that it is in english, almost every game is ! So you would expect any Europian should be able too play. Here in the Netherlands and i am pretty sure it also counts for Belgium almost all the Youth can speak, write and read english quit well... Same for the most other Northern Europian countries.
The problems come in in the Southern parts of Europe ( spain, Italie, Greece, France ) most of them dont speak english and if they do its still really bad many time.... So i do agree S.E. should had @ least brought the game out in Spanish and French as well...
About the creditcard issue. I think it is true the Credit Card isnt as common In Europe as it is in USA, Espcially for the Younger plp. S.E. should had given plp more opportunities too pay. I am pretty sure more plp would had been playing ffxi than...
Last word for the new EU gamers. I know the start is really hard, Gil comes in really too slow and is imo too hard too obtain. The USA have 1 year advantage of you and the JP even 2. Its not fair since they already can buy they really good expensive low lvl items like astralrings, Emp. Hairpin, leaping boots etc...
but pls dont give up and hang in, Especially when you are reaching about lvl 50 it can be quit boring. xpping starts getting really slow ( you need tremendous more ammounts too level + 50 than before that )
BUT when u proccees and are getting around lvl 65 the game is getting real great. There are really cool ZM fights, you start doing harder Bcnm;s and maybe if you are lucky you can enter a HNM LS. And trust me fightning HNM and gods, entering Dynamis ( entering the normals cities occupied by beastman ) is worth all the trouble of getting too the highlevels !
Gl on ur advanture
PS if you are on Remora server and you need help sometimes for a missions dont hasitate too ask me.
My ingame name is Cahieta
Though dont ask me for Gil since i wont give that away :P xD
