Introduction

This guide covers a somewhat comprehensive guide in teaching players jargon and keywords when playing on Japanese servers (or a lengthy ramble, works both ways). While it may seem discouraging for players to play on Japanese servers without any knowledge in the language (especially the case when it comes to raiding), players who are willing to break their comfort zone and learn Japanese in order to communicate with them may find this guide helpful. This guide is also made to cover as many keywords as possible.

What will this guide cover

Jargon, simple and elementary Japanese sentences and keywords will be covered. This guide aims to hopefully help players in trying to communicate with Japanese as much as possible. The interesting thing to note here is that there ARE linkshells in NA servers that are predominantly Japanese, yet in their case, they’ll usually make an effort to communicate in English so it might not be evident at first. I have an alt character in Excalibur, so I believe I speak for myself when I say I’ve encountered quite a few players who are Japanese on that server.

Despite the comprehensive coverage of terms that you may encounter when playing on Japanese servers, This guide will be far from complete, and in fact, the guide will always be open for additions and edits here and there and updates will be unending and periodic. Suggestions and corrections from players are totally welcomed if there is anything required to add to cover. I hope this guide will be able to give players some initiative to communicate with the Japanese players, regardless of how awkward or basic the results may be, and prevent players from not getting stuck in situations where communication between the two gets stuck in limbo.

What won’t this guide cover

This guide does NOT teach you how to speak Japanese, and this is not the primary purpose of this guide. Any advanced communication will require you to basically know Japanese, and is especially required when it comes to raiding. Discussions on strategies, roles, mechanics and so on will require you to understand the language. Please understand that this FAQ covers only what is humanly possible. If you want to know in detail how to deal with Japanese groups and conversations, I’d advise taking proper Japanese lessons but when you actually do, you don’t even need this document anymore. This document will also not function as a translation document. So you might want to use websites like DeepL or Google Translate for your conversation needs although as a translator, I highly do not recommend that.

If you encounter situations where people ask you questions in Japanese and tilt your head over it, you’re not going to find this guide helpful, and I believe you’re smart enough to figure out why this is the case. Also, this guide is majorly text based, so you’ll be reading A LOT when going through this guide.

Background

Your normal, typical, nothing-worthy-of-note player who studied Japanese for 18 months, lived in Japan for 6 years, and is currently working as a translator. I’m just a person who loves and adores language in general, and currently speak 4 languages and 2 dialects, with Japanese being my favorite language among them. I’m also a long term Final Fantasy fan of over 26 years (and counting).

People who know me might know me better as the guy who runs the Translation Team in r/ffxiv Discord and Subreddit, and a resident translator of the server. Do feel free to say hi if you see me there.

GREETINGS

Your first impression matters

EDITED and REWRITTEN as of March 30, 2024 to accommodate players interested in visiting Japanese servers due to the implementation of Cross-region Data Center Travel.

In Japan servers, basic greetings are generally considered the most important thing to do and are highly encouraged in every situation, ranging from meeting them for the first time, to every time you log in the game when you’re in an FC (well, you can skip the greeting if no one is online…); to even dungeons. Japanese players consider greeting to be a standard and basic courtesy, but technically this should be common even if you’re playing in NA/EU/OCN servers, although I’ve heard stories that greetings aren’t usually done in English servers, but I’m not going to delve into that. Greetings have similar applications even in real life like how you greet your customers and clients during your job if you’re working in the service industry.

The most common excuse I’ve heard from people not greeting before dungeons can go from, “I’m tired”, “I want to just get it done and quick”, “lol greetings” and “lazy”. While you’re free to hold on to that mindset if you want, Some Japanese may not take it well and may end up reprimanding you for your apathy on the matter. Ultimately that’s on you if you want to take the above advice seriously, but I DO suggest taking it seriously. Afterall, being a decent human and scoring a nice impression will bring you far.

Now, assuming you’re aware of the importance of greetings and want to know how interactions are done, the following is a simple list of what you can type when it comes to greetings.

Japanese	Romaji Reading	Meaning/Translation
おはようございます	Ohayou gozaimasu	Good morning
こんにちは	Konnichiwa	Hello/Good day/Good afternoon
こんばんは	Konbanwa	Good evening/Good night
おやすみなさい、おやすみ	Oyasuminasai, Oyasumi	Goodnight, or “See you”

This covers the basic, universal greetings you can use in pretty much every single situation. Disregard various greetings that work depending on the time, a simple Konnichiwa will suffice in most cases.

In dungeons, greetings will change slightly. The following would be the different kinds of greetings you can use while in the dungeon.

Japanese	Romaji Reading	Meaning/Translation
よろしくお願いします！	Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!	Nice to meet you! / Let’s do it! / Let’s get along All of them are context dependent.
よろしくです	Yoroshiku desu	Same as above
よろです	Yorodesu	Same as above, except extremely casual
初見です。よろしくお願いします！	Shoken desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!	It’s my first time here, pleased to be your acquaintance! (pleased to be at your care, etc) ※Yoroshiku onegaishimasu has no translation that doesn’t sound awkward. So in this case, the closest would be “Nice to meet you”

※ If you’re running with your static mates or friends while in VC, you are close enough to be friends with them, so you can skip the greetings above.

One particular case of note here is the 4th greeting in the list, this helps when you’re running any dungeons or alliance raids for the first time, as doing so will let them know that it’ll be your first time going through the dungeon/raid so they’ll slow their pace for you to catch up with them.

Making mistakes that jeopardize a run is common and should not be treated as the end of the world. You can just apologize in that case with a simple “Sumimasen”. This will work for most dungeons and alliance runs, except for Savage raiding, which you’re highly encouraged to list out where you did wrong if you, well, make mistakes that is.

Japanese	Romaji Reading	Meaning/Translation
すみません	Sumimasen	Sorry/Apologies

Once you defeat the final boss of any dungeon or alliance raids, “otsukaresama deshita” is the standard thing to say before leaving.

Japanese

Romaji Reading

Meaning/Translation

お疲れさまでした

Otsukaresama deshita

Thank you for your hard work / Thank you for party / Good game

※Similarly, Otsukaresama deshita has no translation that doesn’t sound awkward nor unnatural and it’s context dependent. Therefore the closest translation in this case would be “Thanks for the run, see you again someday”.

ありがとうございました。

Arigatou gozaimashita

Thank you!

Japanese language can be kinda weird where some greetings or sentences can only work locally but don't function very well when translated. Well, just think of it as a fun fact in this case.

Lastly, the following below can be used in cases where you want to log out, go offline, close the game or leave the party after a successful pug run, and other similar situations.

Japanese	Romaji Reading	Meaning/Translation
また明日	Mata ashita	See you tomorrow
ありがとうございました	Arigatou gozaimashita	Thank you (for helping out just now)
PTありがとうございました	PT arigatou gozaimashita	Thank you for the party
PT離脱します。ありがとうございました。	PT ridatsu shimasu, arigatou gozaimashita	Leaving the party. Thank you for the party/run
落ちます。おつかれさまでした！	Ochimasu. Otsukaresama deshita!	I’m going offline. See you and take care!
また機会があればよろしくお願いします！	Mata kikai ga areba yoroshiku onegaishimasu	Let’s give it a go again if we have the chance next time.
またよろしくお願いします	Mata yoroshiku onegaishimasu	Hope we will have the chance again (in the future/soon)

Do note that Japanese communication functions under the concept of Honne & Tatemae here, therefore even if you fail to clear your objectives after joining a pug in parties, it’s still recommended to utilize at least the one stated 5th in the list. Just keep your honesty to yourself, and utilize a few words with tact and you’ll avoid unnecessary dramas 99% of the time.

Generally the Japanese are quiet and do not actually talk during any typical dungeon run, so you mainly just greet and do your own thing, followed by a goodbye once it’s done. No communications in between unless necessary.

Situational usage

Though this goes beyond the standard greeting, there are situations you will face when partying with the Japanese. For example, you may want to tell the party that you need to leave while waiting for it to fill due to emergencies. In that case, you can write something like this:

Japanese

Romaji Reading

Meaning/Translation

すみません、いきなり急用ができてしまいましたので、一旦PTから抜かせていただきます。

Sumimasen, ikinari kyuuyou ga dekiteshimaimashita no de, ittan PT kara nukaseteitadakimasu.

Sorry, due to an emergency coming up, I’ll have to leave the party.

友人を手伝わなければいけないので、申し訳ありませんがPTから抜かせていただきます。また機会があればよろしくお願いします！

Yuujin wo tetsudawanakereba ikenainode, moushiwake arimasenn ga, PT kara nukasete itadakimasu. Mata kikai ga areba yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

Sorry, I need to help out my friend. I apologize but I’ll have to leave the party for now. We’ll meet again if we have the chance.

If you don’t feel like specifying anything, the first one in the list will do, as that sentence is mostly for general use. The point is to never leave your party without informing them as it’s rude, and may earn you a blacklist from them. There are some others that do, but you don’t have to be like them.

RAIDING

Raiding with pugs in Japanese servers is known by several to be something of envy due to their high clear rates, thanks to their attitude that focuses mainly on group consciousness.

Joining a raid on Japanese servers can be intimidating to most people due to heavy communication required, so this subsection will cover only what’s possible. This won’t cover something like how to establish strats, what to announce during the raid (e.g. “I will use Addle during this phase”, “I’ll use interject during this boss’ second phase”, etc). So use Google Translate if you have to.

Raiding in Japanese generally will require you to read the Party Finder description beforehand. There are typically 3 types of party you’ll find:

When you see the word 練習, you’ll find out that this usually means practice phase, and it may or may not be a clear party. This will still require you to read the description before joining them, as different parties will have different requirements. What is stated in the description decides what is required from the party maker. Judging from the screenshot above, the party description states:

“Aim to clear! DHD Kefka 2nd tower position vertical, 2nd Starstrafe Cross strat. Whoever cleared this week are welcomed to help. Cleared this week: 3. Those who doesn’t require coffer after clear are welcomed to join too!”

If you have what it takes to fulfill the party’s requirement, then you’re free to join the party.

On the other hand, you’ll also encounter parties like this:

“3rd floor weekly clear. Please only join if you haven’t cleared it for this week. Lot rules will be take-and-leave. The order of reward will be: Equipment > Roborant > Twine. Will wait patiently”

“4th floor. Only for those who haven’t cleared this week. No same job composition. Rewards are free to lot. Unreal strat, Cross strat. DHD”

When you encounter this type of party, one should be able to tell from the description that this party is made for weekly clears only, even without the [コンプリート目的][コンプリート済み] label. So please be careful not to join those parties unless you have the eligibility for it.

For the third type of party you’d encounter, it’ll look something like this:

“Greed party, 3 rounds. Doggy〆 (taken), Orchestrion free. 〆(taken): Doggy, BLM staff, DRG spear, AST globe. Healers at east west. ST wanted.”

Parties marked yellow in this case are mainly for parties who have already cleared and are undergoing farm runs. If you haven’t cleared the content, you’re not allowed to join as the requirements are usually set up to check your achievement status. Once you’re eligible to join the party, you’re free to.

Regardless of the party you join, it is required that you greet the party immediately after you join, and state your request/requirement/questions after that. In the case of joining a farm party, that means you are to state your desired reward (usually for extreme primal runs and weekly Savage clears). Below are a few examples you can use.

Japanese	Romaji Reading	Meaning/Translation
xが空いていますか？	x ga aiteimasu ka?	Is x available? (x can be what you want, refer to the Jargon list below to find your desired weapon/reward)
...ならxがありますか?	...nara x ga arimasuka?	Then...is x available? (Use this once your major priority is not available and taken)

Once the items you want are registered and green signed by the party master, give them a thanks in Japanese and you may then do whatever you want while waiting for the party to fill. To find out what items you’re looking for, please refer to the “Jargon” section.

If the party is stated as ぐリ制 (Guri-sei) or フリーロット (Furiirotto), it means the party is entirely greed based or free lot based so it’d be pointless to list out what you want. However some parties have a mix of both 希望制 and フリーロット so please pay attention to what the party master is requesting from you. If you’re stuck, Google translation will be your friend.

Take-and-Leave System (取りぬけ, Torinuke)

PUGs in Japanese server frequently use the 取りぬけ、取り抜け (Torinuke) system for raids and Extreme Primal runs. Dubbed as the “Take-and-leave” system. It functions as follows:

During the end of a run, there will be multiple rewards dropped. When the chest contains something you want to roll, you may press NEED to roll for the item you desired. However, you can only NEED 1 item out of the rewards shown on screen.
Usually the “Take-and-Leave” items apply to equipment upgrade items, and equipment like weapons and armors.
The reward will then start its distribution in order (the order will be decided by the party master beforehand, and you’re to press your buttons accordingly)
Once you get what you want, you must PASS the rest and/or leave the instance immediately; You MAY NOT participate in the distribution any further. There are exceptions however.
However, if there are items not listed under “Take-and-Leave” rule, you may stay back and gamble your chances in grabbing the rest of the loot.

Do note that all items are usually listed under the rule of “Take-and-Leave” so you will most likely be rewarded only one out of 4 items available. Say you’re a NIN, and you’ve participated in the second level of Sigmascape Savage (O6S) with the pugs, and won. The items dropped are: NIN hands, Healer legs, Lost Allagan Glaze, and Early Model Tomestone. In this situation, you’re eligible for only ONE out of the 4 rewards presented. If you want the NIN hands, you can NEED the reward and obtain it. However, once the reward falls into your hands, you’re required to immediately pass the rest and leave the instance. Staying back is not recommended and you’ll rouse their distrust if you’re not being tactful. If you already have the NIN hands, you can let them know by saying “忍手持っています”, and let the others get if they want. On the other hand, if the rewards are something no one in the party actually wanted, it’ll be considered as a free reward and will not fall under the “Take-and-leave” rule. Therefore it’s possible for you to have multiple rewards in this exception. Recently this loot system is defined specifically and literally as “Left Side Take-and-Leave” or 左取り抜け (Hidari Torinuke), meaning the loot will be resolved starting from left side onwards, until every loot is fully distributed.

Parties that do not use the so-called “Take-and-Leave” system will be free to greed, need, or pass the rewards. In this case, it’s everyone’s game.

Some examples you can use to denote that you already have the particular equipment, and would like to pass it:

Japanese

Romaji Reading

Meaning/Translation

xがあります

x ga arimasu

I (already) have x

x持っています

x motteimasu

I (already) have x

From the examples above, both hold the same meaning. You just need to let them know that you already have them and it’s everyone’s game to have that share.

However, since items like Glaze, Tomestone, Roborant, and Twine are highly sought items, these will always be applicable under the Take-and-Leave system if the party runs with this rule in place. Therefore if you get one of these items, leave immediately and don’t stay back to gamble for the rest. Failure to follow this system will place you in community blacklist and this may compromise your standing in the Japanese raiding community. So be very careful when dealing with this system.

Jobs

In this game, you’ll be seeing a lot of these words thrown around in all forms of venue. After all, the game is shaped around its job identity and are what players are referred to by default. This is no different in Japanese servers, so it’s important to know who and what you are. Do note that you usually won’t be called by your character name, but your job with a -san suffix at the end (e.g. if the job you’re playing is Dragoon, you’ll be called 竜さん, or Ryuu-san, or Dragoon-san). So learning these jobs will be extremely helpful to you.

Hrothgar	ロスガル	Rosugaru	5.0 (Male), 7.0 (Female)	Beast-themed race. Graphics updated for 7.0. Male first, Female implemented later.

The pronunciation and terms used in Japanese FFXIV is largely the same as their English counterpart, with the exception of Hyur. This will be helpful in case you encounter those words in your chat window.

The following are commonly used words to describe their player avatars and races in casual conversations, and you may encounter those words in shouts once in a while (be it in game, external sites or Discord voice chats):

Japanese	Romaji	Translation	Notes
オスッテ	Osutte	Male Miqo’te
メスッテ	Mesutte	Female Miqo’te	Very popular amongst Himechans
オスラ	Osura	Male Au Ra
メスラ	Mesura	Female Au Ra	Another popular target amongst Himechans
オスララ	Osurara	Male Lalafell
メスララ	Mesurara	Female Lalafell	A large number of female players play Lalafell.
エレオス	Ereosu	Male Elezen	Decently popular amongst female players.
エレメス	Eremesu	Female Elezen
オスヴィエラ	Osuviera	Male Viera	Popular amongst both male and female players.
メスヴィエラ	Mesuviera	Female Viera

References to Hyurs, Roegadyns and Hrothgars are rare, likely due to the result of smaller representation and thus not many have given them nicknames. Among this list, the most commonly used and heard nicknames for races are Miqo’te, Au Ra and Lalafells.

MATERIAS

Knowledge to stats is the knowledge to power

As raiding, gathering and crafting are popular activities in FFXIV, regardless of where you’re from it is important to know what type of materia you are aiming for when gearing up. If you’re one of those people who are immersed enough to use Japanese all the way through despite being rather alien to it, no worries, the following list here will help you out to determine what Materia is...well, in Japanese.

Japanese	Romaji	Translation
剛力のマテリア	Gouriki no Materia	Strength Materia
活力のマテリア	Katsuryoku no Materia	Vitality Materia
眼力のマテリア	Ganriki no Materia	Dexterity Materia
知力のマテリア	Chiryoku no Materia	Intelligence Materia
心力のマテリア	Shinriki no Materia	Mind Materia
信力のマテリア	Shinriki no Materia	Piety Materia
剛柔のマテリア	Goujuu no Materia	Tenacity Materia
戦技のマテリア	Sengi no Materia	Quickarm Materia
雄略のマテリア	Yuryaku no Materia	Savage Might Materia
詠唱のマテリア	Eishou no Materia	Quicktongue Materia
武略のマテリア	Buryaku no Materia	Savage Aim Materia
天眼のマテリア	Tengan no Materia	Heavens’ Eye Materia
博識のマテリア	Hakushiki no Materia	Gatherer’s Guile Materia
達識のマテリア	Tasshiki no Materia	Gatherer’s Guerdon Materia
器識のマテリア	Kishiki no Materia	Gatherer’s Grasp Materia
名匠のマテリア	Meishou no Materia	Craftsman’s Competence Materia
魔匠のマテリア	Mashou no Materia	Craftsman’s Cunning Materia
巨匠のマテリア	Kyoshou no Materia	Craftsman’s Command Materia

Yes, in case you're wondering why Mind and Piety materias share the same pronunciation, the difference is in the kanji. Alternatively, 心力 can also be written as “Shinryoku” but considering the nature of typing in chats, the pronunciation doesn’t really matter unless the conversation is brought to voice chats.

There are currently 6 materia grades. As you progress you will find that the higher materia grades have their own unique names as well. Grade I is マテリア (Materia), while Grade II is マテリラ (Materira), Grade III is マテリダ (Materida), Grade IV is マテリガ (Materiga), Grade V is マテリジャ(Materija), and Grade VI is ハイマテリジャ (Haimaterija).

WORLDS

Knowing where you play

There is not much difference between how most English players see the world than the Japanese anyway. But this section is created just for your reference in case you want to know which world to choose, play, or know just for the fun of it.

Of course, being a captain obvious here, these servers are specifically Japanese majority, so Japanese rules and cultures apply.

	Zeromus	ゼロムス

Personal Observations:

As of 2020, there are 3 Japanese data centers with 32 Japanese servers.
Shinryu was the latest and last new server addition to JP DC (at Mana) due to the spike of playerbase after the PS4 release of A Realm Reborn. Added in June 2014.
Contrary to expectations, Japanese don’t usually write their server name in Japanese, but English instead. There are also players who use nicknames or abbreviations for the server they come from.
The high pop servers as of year 2022 are: Tonberry, Typhon, Chocobo, Shinryu, Carbuncle, Gungnir, Bahamut, and Asura
Most servers have their own nickname. It’s not usually used in-game but forums like 5ch and Lodestone.
Each server has their own thread, but the discussion in 5ch mainly involves player attitudes, blacklisting (some unwarranted, but mostly justified), and “shitposting”. Discussions about gameplay, news and raiding are mostly located in the general thread instead.
The server with the most mixed players of different regions and ethnicity would be Tonberry and Kujata. Since it’s a server that contains majorly South East Asia, Oceania, and Japanese players.
Typhon is also known to house predominantly Taiwanese players.
Asura is also known to house majorly Chinese (mostly from China?) and according to some accounts, Korean players. Due to the recent purge of China players over various risks and factors (mainly due to the spike of players from China faking their registration information in order to play Endwalker, which violated Square Enix’s Terms of Use plus China’s strict censorship and laws), Mana had a temporary meltdown over the incident. Currently it’s unknown how the incident affected the Chinese population in Asura now.
Other servers with English players include Chocobo, Carbuncle, and Masamune as well. Due to Stormblood’s release on June 20, 2017, Tonberry is given the congested world treatment and is no longer open for character creation. Therefore Kujata, Aegis, and Masamune are now the three preferred servers for foreign players. All status is now lifted due to the population now stable after Patch 4.2 drops.
While each server has their own quirks and specialty, the most commonly known “raid servers” in Japan would be: Chocobo, Mandragora, Alexander, Tiamat, Bahamut, Carbuncle, Shinryu, and to a lesser known degree, Ixion. With the inclusion of Cross World Party Finder (CWPF), the player pool becomes more and more diluted, hence the above label may no longer be relevant.
At a certain meme level, Pandemonium is notoriously known for catfishing, and also known to have a very active population in Gridania’s Gardeners guild. Carbuncle is also infamously known to have extremely active in-game community activities, therefore very lively. Unicorn server is popular with the ladies and is a home to the screenshot community. While it is also rumored that Ifrit is known as a “dating” server, it is unknown whether this reputation holds true or not.
With the inclusion of CWPF, it becomes less relevant on which server is recommended to join, so just choose a preferred server and hop in.
The Data Center Travel feature announced on May 15, 2021 is projected to remove the boundaries between Data Centers, allowing all players to be able to travel to any data center, any server freely though with restrictions, this may allow players to be able to experience being in Japanese servers without having to permanently be there. As of Jan 2022, it is confirmed that the feature will not cover cross regions for now.
With the Oceania Data Center announced and scheduled to be implemented by Patch 6.1, the population situation on Elemental DC may experience changes.
The announcement to divide Japanese DC from 3 to 4 will mean by June 2022, the above chart will see drastic changes. After the change, JP DC will see the server distribution of the ratio of 10:11:11 to 8:8:8:8, with no new servers.
The new DC was announced during the 69th PLL during March 4th, name “Meteor” with 8 servers from 3 different DCs relocated and placed on this new DC: Belias, Mandragora, Ramuh, Unicorn, Shinryu, Valefor, Yojimbo, and lastly, Zeromus. This change will take place during June 2022, which also somehow coincides with the release of Data Center Travel which is scheduled to be released on patch 6.18.
After the inclusion of Data Center Travel, Mana became a concentrated hub for Japanese players from other Data Centers to gather and do raids. This is due to the Mana’s long standing reputation as the data center with the most players with clear rates. While Gaia is very popular for its player base of exceptional skills, Mana won by having the most number of players with clear rates. Even more so when taking in Elemental’s reputation which is often considered controversial by many.
In 2026 North America Fanfest (Anaheim Fanfest), YoshiP has announced the long awaited “Cross DC Party Finder” feature (officially known as “same-region player matchmaking”), and the feature was officially introduced on October 13th, 2026 (Patch 7.57). With this feature, instead of matching instance based on the current data center, the matching is now expanded to cover all 4 data centers (Gaia, Mana, Meteor, Elemental), eliminating the necessity to move from one data center to another in order to increase matchmaking chances, or moving away to another data center to avoid congestion.

相方	Aikata	Always	Partner. This can mean 3 things. In raids, the standard of raid composition is composed of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. Having another player of the same role in your party is thus referred to as a partner. For example, if you play as a healer, the other healer in your team will be your partner. The same logic applies to Tanks as well. But this term is not used for DPS for obvious reasons. This can also be used to refer to lovers as well, in both in-game and real life. The person you paired often with can also be considered a partner, therefore 相方 also applies.

Translates roughly as “I am currently slightly brutal!”. This line is triggered when the boss enters his leg form, and is particularly memey due to how awkward this particular line felt, and on top of that, the community had to go through this repeatedly due to issues progressing the Savage version of this boss due to its difficulty. The community eventually coped by taking this particular line and replacing the “violent” part of the word with other silly words, creating a series of jokes.

People who are “ウの民” are also those who hunt them for treasure chests in order to earn gil.

動き理解した？	Ugoki rikaishita?	Rare ~ Deprecated	An old meme, almost a deprecated word but still sees occasional use. It’s a meme with a condescending tone questioning the player whether they “understand the mechanics” after getting revived from knock out. This term came to life back when player skills weren’t as developed and matured as they are today. During the ARR Beta period (2013), the first boss of Brayflox Longstop (A level 32 dungeon) required a WHM (or Conjurer) or BLM (or Thaumaturge) to cast sleep on the boss because tanking multiple enemies that appear halfway wasn’t a viable strat at that time and places a huge burden on the healers, and casting sleep on the boss made the fight a lot easier to manage. There was a party where a tank, who at that time refused to abide by the standard method kept attacking the boss indiscriminately, griefing the healers badly in the process. The healer then let the tank die on purpose. But instead of wiping the party, the healer healed the DPS who did the fight correctly, revived the tank after the boss fight is over, and wrote the line “動き理解した？” in the chat box, as if to teach the tank a valuable lesson to “follow the basics”. The story was shared around and this fascinated players, causing the phrase to spread, cementing its place as a longstanding meme. The term is also acknowledged officially by the dev team, and the quote is sometimes used when Yoshida screwed up during his gameplay demo, along with other hilarious occurrences. There is also a fanart drawn for this
浦島太郎状態	Urashima Tarou joutai	Rare	Rip Van Winkle feeling. A state where you felt very out of place after not being in it for a very long time.

エレ民	Eremin	Always	People from Elemental server. Can be used interchangeably with players from other data centers－ Gaia would be ガイア民, Mana would be マナ民, and Meteor might be メテ民 even though I have never personally seen it mentioned. エレ民 however is the most common.

火力詰め	Karyokutsume	Always	Literally “Firepower squeeze”. It refers to Parse runs, or DPS improvement runs. Recently popular in JP servers due to many of them starting to find players who are willing to improve DPS through pugging. The composition often follows the meta set by community, but 90% of the time, it allows any composition setup as long as the final stage of Savage is cleared (having the highest ilvl weapon is recommended).

A drama happened when a player (SAM), queued for O12S (Alphascape 4th floor) in raid finder and got randomly paired with a 7 player static group who forgot to pick up their final member for weekly clears. The SAM player who waited long felt unfairly treated when the static group asked the SAM player to leave after 5 minutes, which will cause the SAM to eat the penalty for doing so. The SAM retaliated and asked the group to leave instead, but the WAR from the static group condescendingly told the SAM that he’s the outsider, and initiated a vote kick, which kicked the SAM out of the raid. The SAM got upset and posted the incident on his lodestone entry calling those actions out. This got spread and caused a lot of players to band up and initiate Hageruga Matsuri (see below) on the static group. The subsequent development of that particular SAM receiving a warning by the GM for initiating a witch hunt made it worse, considering such actions are indeed against the terms of service, however it upset the community further. It is also known that the static group got called out in one of their static member’s lodestone entries and while they apologized, doesn’t seem to have reflected on their actions. The official forums had a thread dedicated to complaining about the actions GM took, and both GM and Foxclon stepped in to comment on the situation.

Abyss of Darkness, a then world 3rd Japanese group for Final Coil clear, sneaked into the party (6 of them), streamed themselves through an unofficial channel. The group then made fun of Koike through slanders, spinning the boss around, and made fun of her DPS performance. Worse, Koike was also sexually harassed when the party was about to disband. This led the Japanese community to punish the group sending hundreds of naked Roegadyns (Hageruga Matsuri, see below) as a protest. These trolls ended up getting harassed in return, which prompted them to change their names, servers, deleted their Twitter accounts, issued an insincere apology through their Nicovideo live broadcast (which further angered the community and escalated the animosity). Finally the group received a temporary ban by the lead community representative, Foxclon himself. This escalated to a boiling point which Foxclon had to issue a statement through their own official broadcast. The incident did not end on a sweet note and the members involved are monitored. However, most of the players either have quit the game entirely, deleted their characters, transferred servers, or changed their name and stayed low profile since.

This refers to another braindead strat where DPS and Healers stand on a predetermined spot to deal with the mechanic, however the tanks will need to go to the bridge path WITHOUT the Minotaur egg and turn on their invincibility skill. 乱犬丸 = War’s Harvest, Inumaru version. It’s better to let this video do the talking (this will require you to have a degree of understanding on how War’s Harvest works in P7S). However, this requires healers to use mitigation in order for this strat to work. It’s currently the standard strat used in Japanese parties for P7S (as of this writing).

This refers to the widely popular “incident”(?) where No.2 Type B Leggings, one of the equipment set obtained from from Shadowbringers’ first alliance raid “The Copied Factory '' was silently patched out due to how it caused some models to bug out when wearing (or glamour) them.

The player’s limit break macro usually ends up with “Seiken-nyaaaaaaaaa!!!”, hence the term. This player is still active today.
聖域ジョブ	Seiiki joobu	Common	“Sanctuary Jobs”. A meme that describes developer’s favoritism on jobs as perceived by the player base which they based (or speculate) from the data taken from the past or experiences. The jobs that are considered by the players to be heavily favored (by the developers) would be: Dark Knight, Gunblade, Scholar, Ninja, Monk, Dancer, and lastly Summoner. The reason why this term exist is due to how the jobs have been given treatment that allow players to pick these jobs for high level endgame content and go through it smoothly, while the jobs not mentioned were either unadjusted, or had their adjustment wishes and feedback on the job constantly ignored, instead given potency increases that felt too lame to feel the difference. Due to the community's perception, This term and whether these jobs being heavily favored or not are NOT official, contain heavy biases most of the time, and don't necessarily reflect the actual truth of the situation. Therefore the description should NEVER be taken as truth, no matter how much you agree with it.

線	Sen	Common	Line. In FFXIV, it refers specifically to the tether mechanic.

占	Sen	Always	Astrologian (as stated in the Jobs section). Note that while the pronunciation shares with the other job, Warrior, and therefore this short form is usually not used verbally. Verbally, it’s better to use Senseijutsushi (占星術師), or Sensei (占星).

This practice gets a follow up as western players used A1S to A12S to refer to the entire Alexander Savage series, while the Japanese side uses 起動編零式1層～4層 (Gordias chapter Floor 1 to 4 Savage), 律動編零式1層～4層 (Midas chapter Floor 1 to 4 Savage), and 天動編零式1層～4層 (Creator chapter Floor 1 to 4 Savage), respectively. The practice is still in use today, where Omega and Eden raids retained the naming tradition as well.
早期攻略	Souki Kouryaku	Always	Early Progression. Static groups with 早期攻略 requirement can range from semi-hardcore to hardcore. These groups aim to clear the content as early as possible, yet do not compete with World First groups. Those groups usually aim to clear within 1 or 2 weeks, and are a lot stricter than casual groups without focus when tackling them. Unless an anomaly happens, the usual timeline to clear any raid content can go up to maximum a month, depending on the supposed difficulty. When it comes to Ultimate groups, they usually will aim to clear within a month, up to 2 months at best. Joining these groups requires you to be attentive when resolving mechanics while doing high DPS at the same time. These groups also use ACT and FFLogs to compare performances, and will remove underperformers when the situation calls for it. Groups that aim for early clears are commonly referred to as 早期攻略組 (Souki Kouryaku Gumi, Early progression group).

As of Patch 5.2, Summoner is arguably the strongest DPS job in the game and this is taking in the fact that Summoner can resurrect, heal, buff and do ridiculously high damage when played correctly, even overtaking the supposedly highest DPS class in the game, Black Mage. The capacity of what Summoner can do triggered the Japanese community to nickname the Summoner job “King”, elevating the job to (jokingly) god status. Yes. Don’t forget to bow down to your gods when you come across one next time, peasants (no I joke please don’t actually do that). This meme can also be applicable to other jobs as well

ジョブ被り	Jobu kaburi	Always	Two or more same jobs in one party. For example: Two RDMs in a party instead of the default composition of 8 different jobs. This standard is discouraged and often disallowed in progression parties because they wanted to utilize Limit Break to its fullest, which the gauge will fill much slowly in a same, multiple job composition. Some parties however do allow such composition, therefore such standards are not absolute in the community.

た～と (Ta to To), だ～ど（Da to Do)

日本語	Romaji	Status	English
待機LS	Taiki LS	Deprecated	Standby Linkshells. Used commonly in Chocobo server (possibly other high pop servers as well). This common practice is created due to how players in Chocobo clear content through mostly Party Finder. How it works: A party leader will first create a throwaway linkshell, followed by setting up a party for recruitment. As recruitments can take a while, these linkshells are created so that players who registered for the party will be redirected by the party leader to have them join linkshells beforehand so that the registered can have their free reign to do any content without having to stick to the party until it’s filled. Once filled, party leaders will then announce on the linkshell by gathering the rest of the recruited players, get them into the party, and start doing content. Regardless of the progression, once the party disbands, the linkshell will be deleted as well. This practice no longer exists due to the popularity of Discord and Cross World Party Finder.
炊く、焚く	Taku (for both kanji)	Always	Burn. In FFXIV this means using your buffs - バフを焚く or バフを炊く (Bafu wo taku). The image behind this sentence is to imagine yourself getting fired up after using a buff, therefore the direct meaning of this sentence, “burning your buffs (and get fired up)”.
タゲ	Tage	Always	Short form for Target, used mainly for tanks. タゲを取る (Tage wo toru) is used to refer tanks aggro’ing the opponent, while タゲを持つ (Tage wo motsu) will mean tanks maintain their enmity. Sentences like タゲが飛んだ (Tage ga tonda), タゲが跳ねた (Tage ga haneta), タゲ飛び (Tage tobi) and so on refers to tanks who’ve lost their aggro and the opponent instead went to the next member of the highest enmity.
タコタン	Takotan	Rare	Refers to Titan. The reason why Titan was called Takotan comes from a certain scene in MSQ where a certain Roegadyn (Trachtoum) called him so in the MSQ. To prevent further spoilers, play the MSQ to know how it originated.
タコ	Tako	Rare	Octopus. This refers to Kraken. People do also refer to Titan as “Tako”, too.
ダイナモ	Dainamo	Common	Dynamo. The common referral for mechanics where the AoE is a donut shape, meaning your point blank distance from the boss (or within) is the safe spot. “In” is the usual English call, or “Naka”, when it comes to alternative Japanese call out.

杖	Tsue	Always	Staff. Black mage or White mage weapons White Mage staff = 白杖 (Shiro tsue) Black Mage staff = 黒杖 (Kuro tsue)
ツール	Tsuuru	Always	Tools. Depending on the situation and context, this may contain several meanings: The dictionary definition of a “tool”. This can also be commonly referred to by the Japanese community as “Third Party Tools” (第三者ツール, Dai san sha tsuuru).

定型文辞書	Teikeibun jisho	Always	Auto translation dictionary
定食	Teishoku	Common	Original meaning: Set meal. Mmmm Ramen and fried rice set meal... In FF14: Used to refer to “set patterns”. This can mean two things. In the player context, it means a set of dailies you can do in game and the same routine repeats until you reach the tipping point of what you can do. This includes: leveling your jobs to current max level by going through a set of duty roulettes, followed by doing weekly crafting quests (custom deliveries), clear your Savage quests weekly, cap your tomestones, and so on. The pattern can be flexible, but it always revolves around content that you can repeat daily/weekly until a new patch that updates the content with new content and the cycle repeats. This ties to the first point above, where the developers patternized the content cycle of each patch to provide the same content type but different in content. The game always follow the following formula whenever a new patch is released: New Main Scenario Quests, 1 or 2 extreme raids, new dungeons (reduced to 1 dungeon per patch as of patch 5.2), 1 new 24-man raid (applies to odd numbered patches), 1 new 8-man tier raid (applies to even numbered patches), and updates to other ongoing content. The predictable content cycle provided by the developers have since allowed the players to call it “a set meal content”, thus the term. It can be both positive and negative, depending on how you word it.
敵視率	Tekishi ritsu	Always	Hate and Enmity
帝王学基礎	Teiougaku kiso	Deprecated	A meme. A certain white mage (not level 50 however) conducted massive testings and experiments on healing enmity, causing the community to rage. The Twitter account is now deleted, but alas, his records remained.

テル	Teru	Always	Tell, a private message function in FFXIV

では、気にしません	Dewa, kinishimasen	Deprecated	Wuk Evu’s favorite catchphrase when he thought he screwed things up and had Wuk Lamat to calm him down. It roughly translates to “Oh, then I shall not mind”. It’s a joke in Dawntrail that basically caught some player’s attention where this can be used to lighten the mood when you apologize and the Japanese players don’t mind about your mistakes. It’s primarily a Japanese joke that works well in tsukkomi and boke situations. In English this is localized as “Consider it forgotten”. Just don’t overdo this.

How it works First, decide on which weapon or armor you’d like to get when joining a party Finish the content If the rewards dropped contain that particular weapon or armor you’re applying for, you’re free to NEED it. However, the remaining 7 players will have to simultaneously press PASS in order to proceed. Once you get your reward, you HAVE to leave the instance immediately and leave the rest of the reward intact (or PASS it). Repeat this process until every form of reward has been properly distributed. This method can be seen as questionable to the western community and thus impossible to apply this efficiently.
トレイン	Torain	Always	Trains. But specifically used in Eureka meaning players who keep moving, while attracting the aggro of the surrounding monsters. Doing so created a long line of seemingly tons of monsters pursuing that particular player that aggros, forming what is effectively a train, hence the term.

な～の (Na to No)

日本語	Romaji	Status	English
ナ	Na	Always	Knight. Paladin in FFXIV
なう	Nau	Always	Now
中の人	Naka no Hito	Common	The person behind the character. Usually used to describe voice actors and actresses who provided voices for the character. In FFXIV, this is also frequently used to describe the actual person controlling the character.
ナギ節	Nagi setsu	Common	The Calm. This is a term originally from FFX, but in the context of FFXIV, it has no relation to the lore but is used by the community to refer to a downtime, content lull period. Most commonly used before the next new expansion comes out (Patch 5.5 ~ Patch 6.0 for example).
奈良	Nara	Deprecated	One of the prefectures in Japan. But in FFXIV, this also refers to Gridania. Old Japanese FFXIV players will understand the reference. The origin of this reference came from the Eorzea Prelive stream, dated back to September 14, 2014, where one of the FFXIV devs at that time stated that one of the inspirations of Gridania came from Nara. Which the fans then caught on to, therefore settled with the connection.
ニード	Niido	Always	Need, one of the loot terms in FFXIV.
292民事件	Nihyaku kyujuunimin jiken	Deprecated	A very nostalgic, old “oopsie” that happened back when Alexander Gordias was regarded as the most difficult raid tier due to A3S (Alexander Gordias Floor 3 Savage) being widely known by the community back then as the “static killer” (or static breaker, depending on who you ask). Back then when player skills were still immature and undeveloped, there were many groups who attempted clearing Savage but were ultimately blocked by how gruesome the entire battle is, making many players lost their confidence and ended up disbanding their group and quit the tier entirely (though some players, especially those that cleared, may disagree). When the tier was still ongoing, there was a Japanese discussion thread dedicated to the raid and it was filled with many players leaving comments like this “A3S was so easy haha” “Any weaklings here who still haven’t cleared A3S yet? lolol” Due to the large amount of such comments being posted, it created a misconception that there were over 1,000 players who cleared the stage, further contributing to that overall assessment of “A3S is actually simple, it’s just most players were weak and some are definitely not suited for raiding”... Until a certain Producer Letter Live disclosed the actual clear numbers for A3S, showing the number “292”, which exposed community lies. Ultimately, this became a meme, and it was a hot topic back then. Now it’s just an old story, and a relic of the past.
抜け、抜ける	Nuke, Nukeru	Always	Usually used in FFXIV to mean “leave the party”.
ネカマ	Nekama	Common	Males who pretend to be females in MMORPG. It’s a combination of two words, “ネット” (Netto, Net) and “オカマ”(Okama, a queer).
ノ	No	Always	The short form of an emote which is similar to “raising hands”. This is very frequently seen in hunts and FATEs when people spam ノ to join parties instead of taking the initiative to create their own through PF or shouts. The more congested the area is, the spammier the ノ is. Spamming ノ will mean you want to join a party and if caught, people will extend an invitation to you.
ノーキンタンク	Nookintanku	Rare	ノーキン is a katakana writing of the word “脳筋” (Noukin), meaning muscle brained. This specifically point to tanks who do not adhere to the standard, default tank play: whose role is to redirect enemy attacks or attention toward themselves in order to protect other characters or units, but instead opt to pursue complete firepower and permanently enter offensive stance, acting as if they are the DPS despite being a tank. While tank gameplay today has evolved to the point where players are now capable of redirecting enemy’s attention fully to themselves as long as they maintain their enmity while in offensive stance, this term does not really reflect tanks’ situation today due to the term’s existence before tank’s gameplay actually reached this point. Therefore this term contains a sarcastic tone to reflect tanks who forgot what their role actually is, which caused unnecessary incidents to occur halfway during raids or dungeons, like losing enmity and ended up wiping the party thanks to this result.
ノの民	No no tami	Deprecated	A group of people in Eureka who deliberately camp right at Eureka’s starting point just to type (or spam) “ノ” to join parties when notorious monster (or NM) spawns. As the ratio of people who practice that method increases, the NM’s spawn rate decreases, this prompted the term to be created to label people of specific objectives as such. It’s a derogatory term.
野良	Nora	Always	PUGs
乗物	Norimono	Rare	Transport mounts. Chocobos, Flying mounts, etc… Players usually use the word “マウント (Mount)” instead.
難易度	Nanido	Always	Pronounced “Nan-ee-do”, meaning “Difficulty”

ハロワ宗教戦争(1A、134)	Harowa Shuukyou Sensou (1A, 134)	Deprecated	Known as “Hello World Religion War (1A and 134)”. This term came to existence due to one sided argument over the insistence of using either 1313 style or 134 style being the better and safer strat for pugs in O12S (the final tier of the Omega raids in Stormblood). It's unclear if the “dispute” actually caused heated arguments between players in forums but it affected party recruitments nonetheless because of player preferences. For players in the JP server, it is still advised that you read the party description properly on which strategy is requested by the party leader before joining.

フリートライアル	Furiitoraiaru	Always (First point), Deprecated (Second point)	This term has both meanings. First, it means Free Trial, which opens new players to try the game for free before deciding whether to invest themselves into the game. Second, it also refers to a new joke catchphrase that originated from an article Naoki Yoshida wrote for Asahi Shimbun (one of Japan’s major national newspapers). In that article he wrote on why people would feel reluctant to play MMORPG games, citing 5 reasons. But each of the reasons he wrote would end up him promoting FFXIV either directly or indirectly, and each of his reasons would end up with something like “Which is why we have Final Fantasy XIV Free Trial available (for you)! And by Free Trial, it means it’s available for you (to play) for free!” (in Japanese, そんな貴方に、『ファイナルファンタジーXIVフリートライアル』というものが存在する。フリートライアル、つまり無料である。) The absolute push to get new players to play FFXIV ended up a joke for players and thus the word “Free Trial” became a meme to many Japanese veterans.

As non-healers looking for a party seeing the PF slots filled, it’ll cause them to create another entry for recruitment, which the process then repeats and gets filled EXCEPT for healer slots, and the process repeats. You’ll see PF entries in general with tanks, DPS filled, but no healers willing to enter. This commonly happens in high difficulty raids, especially when trying to find parties for P8S. An example of how “Green River” looks like As situations like this tend to happen at specific time and specific conditions, please be careful when trying to understand what causes the lack of healer participation in high difficulty content, and it does NOT reflect the truth nor the actual state of healers for Patch 6.2 in general. When pressed with the question of the lack of healers participating in high difficulty content, YoshiP has gone on to mention that the solution to this issue is to have more players giving Healer jobs a try in high difficulty content, but he’ll also look into other factors and see where they can improve further.

The term was named due to an incident which happened on Sept 10, 2013. One roleplayer, when entering dungeons introduced the Carbuncle pet as “Muutan”, but due to the overly immersive attitude of the roleplayer plus how the Carbuncle kept “going berserk”, this annoyed the player greatly and created a thread in 2ch (now 5ch), ranting about the incident. The term soon became a meme.
むーさん	Muusan	Rare	Refers to Demi-Bahamut. As Summoner is a job that is highly linked to Arcanist, the above meme naturally evolved, making this term an “upgrade” from the Muutan meme. Increasingly obvious when it’s taken from the word, Baha”mu”t.

The phrase is also used in one of the Producer Live Letter, where Minfilia would call Yoshida to attend one of the events in Sapporo, Hokkaido.

ララカス	Rarakasu	Common	A derogatory term meaning “Lalafell scum”. This word is used to label Lalafell players doing “scummy things” instead of the describing race stereotype.

END NOTE

Thank you for reading this far. Hope you enjoyed it.

Hopefully with this document, you’ll be able to learn a few terms and jargons used in this game. Though I personally do feel a little weird for inserting memes that are related yet at the same time, unrelated to the game as well. However, I wrote this FAQ with the intention that all players from the western side of the world can understand those Japanese words used in the game so that, ultimately, we can understand both in-game cultures a little more than ever. I always believe that language barriers can be solved by someone taking the initiative to bridge them closer so that we don’t experience further misunderstandings. This FAQ may be niche and may not be as significant as those rotation or job guides you find in most places, but I still hope this document will be of help to players who need it.

Regardless, I had fun writing it.

Also thanks to Tsun-chan in the FFXIV Reddit Discord channel for giving me important terms and jargon that I may have missed. This document can be improved further and if there are any other terms that I may have missed out or need fixes, feel free to contact me in the Reddit Discord channel, or iluna minori#5926. I’ll be there.

Until then. Sayonara!
