To ensure that players in all regions have a more enjoyable experience in FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm reborn, additional data centers have been established in regions outside of Japan. In light of this, the existing Worlds will be redistributed across regional data centers.
Version 1.0 characters will be automatically transferred to Worlds bearing the same names as before. We recommend submitting a World transfer application to prevent characters from being placed in undesired regions.
Please read over the details of regional data center placement before applying.
