Question about region selection

in Final Fantasy XIV

Hello folks, (Australia player wiht region question)

I am looking at downloading and checking out FFXIV before it goes live (Have ordered the CE version) My question is most MMO's  have played in the past have always been on NA servers. But the NA optin says "This page is for North American applications ONLY" 

And then I got UK/Europe region. So I take it being in Australia I have no option but to be playing on EU servers?  or are we able choose and  play on the NA servers?

Thanks and sorry if its worded badly, I been at work all night.

 

Cheers

Tanvaras

    Yeah this confused and annoyed me as well. Even if it's just for the NA servers, can we still have a button for Oceania/Australia?

    It'd be good if someone can tell us what to do :P

    The region thing is only there for payment and service options...

    As far FFXIV concerned, it doesn't matter really.

    FFXIV's servers are like FFXI's servers they aren't region based.

    The server Kefka is Kefka for everyone...

    it says its for EU and other PAL regions.

    We have PAL tv in Australia. :)

    (Your PC is not PAL, but remember the accounts will also be used for PS3 players, so the tv region is applicable to them)

     

    So start off with EU, selecting English.

     

    Click on the link to register a Square Enix account and from there you will be directed to a region selector where you can select Oceania.

    as jhai said, ps3 are regional, ff14 is on the ps3, releases march 2011 supposedly, they just updated the game to regionality for the sake of starting it ready to go for the ps3 im sure.  and as another poster mentioned, when you go to pay your sub, billing is by regions, so dont go fubaring and selecting a region of like na when you live in like asia, and now your asian cc dont work for an NA account hehe
