Hi everyone!
My girlfriend and I just moved to Seoul, South Korea for about one year, and we’d like to keep playing FFXIV together.
We both have EU accounts/characters (EU Data Center). Since we’ll often play from Korean PC bangs, we have a few questions:
I’ve seen conflicting info:
So what’s the reality in 2026?
Any PC bang-specific experience would be amazing.
Thanks a lot in advance!

My girlfriend and I just moved to Seoul, South Korea for about one year, and we’d like to keep playing FFXIV together.
We both have EU accounts/characters (EU Data Center). Since we’ll often play from Korean PC bangs, we have a few questions:
1) PC bang login: can we just log in with our EU credentials and play normally?
- Has anyone here played FFXIV from a PC bang in South Korea?
- Can you simply log into the game with your EU Square Enix / Mog Station account (EU service account) and it works?
- Any common issues in PC bangs (launcher restrictions, admin rights, patching, blocked ports, etc.)?
2) EU servers from Korea: ping / gameplay experience
- If we stay on EU DC while living in Korea, how is the experience in terms of ping / lag / packet loss?
- Is it still comfortable for normal content (dungeons/raids), or does it become frustrating?
3) Do we need a VPN in Korea?
I’ve seen conflicting info:
- Some people say you must use a VPN in South Korea or you’ll have problems.
- Others say it’s totally fine without one.
So what’s the reality in 2026?
Any PC bang-specific experience would be amazing.
Thanks a lot in advance!
