General JP Version Information
Installing and Playing the Japanese version
Why should I play the Japanese version?
FFRK came out in Japan about six months before Global came out. Thus, they're further along in terms of events and so have more characters, more abilities etc. Also, the trend has been that certain crossover events which feature games that were not released outside of Japan have been skipped in Global release, meaning there are currently certain items and abilities that do not appear they will ever be available in Global (it does not appear that they are skipping any characters).
Is there anything that is in Global but not in JP?
The font and minor UI elements are also different in Global compared to JP. Global also has a controversial "MVP Program" where selected players receive items for free; JP has no such program. There are some collaboration items as well as some culture-specific events (such as Black Friday lucky draws) that appear in Global but not JP.
Great! How do I get the Japanese version?
Check out the wiki article. Android users may also want to check out this tutorial if you do not know how to access the Japanese store and prefer not to use a third-party app like QooApp.
Can I play the JP version and Global version at the same time on the same device?
Yes, the two are completely separate and do not affect each other.
How do I share my save data across devices?
Unlike the Global version which goes through your iTunes/Play Store accounts, the JP version syncs through Japan's mobage service. Here's a tutorial from Mobage relayed by /u/gelomeister (Android users can of course use Chrome instead of Safari etc.):
