Just curious...how many have imported the game with knowing very little to no Japenese? And if you did..how difficult was/is it to get by in the game?


I've really really been wanting to learn Japanese and I've been dying to play FFXI again since I got try it at E3 last week..soo this might be a great opportunity!!!

Your replies will be very much appreciated and will help me in my decision. :sweat:

Thank you!

As long as you can find someone to show you the ropes, you should be able to get along fine without knowing japanese. Though, I would take the time to learn the Katakana symbols. It will help you more than you can possibly know. :)

I imported the game and have no knowledge of the Japanese language. I do, however, have an active interest in the language, which makes me enjoy my experience even more. As for getting by in the game, I have had no type of trouble getting by at all. A lot of people complain that the installation takes forever, but I managed to have the game, expansion, POL Viewer, and ready to play within an hour and a half. It is not that bad if you have worked with installation programs before. I would recommend that you find English speaking players to help you, and I would also recommend that you PRINT the guides on the site. They are very helpful. I went into the game and was put on a random server which happened to be Ramuh. I was very lucky in this as it has a larger importer community than most. They are really helpful and great people. ^^

I have only had the game for about three weeks, and I am having a blast. I would recommend importing it personally. You can transfer your character over whenever the NA comes out, so I see no reason not to. It also makes a nice addition to my game collection right next to my signed copy of Unreal Tournament 2003. ^^
