wow those links that Buni put up took atleast an hour oor so to look through them both, wish i could read japanese. I have to admit there atleast 2 names there though that I would black list myself, only because I've had bad experinces with them also and i am a NA. Never the less this hating between NM and JP players is said to see.

I played Phatasy Star Online back for the Dreamcast and loved that game. I had a lvl 100 HuMar named Gren and i can still remember how angry i was when i lost everything i had due to trading with someone i didnt knw well. All my items were legit, I trades a sword i had for a rifle, can't remember the exact names or how to spell them. I get on 2 days later and the game claims there is something wrong with my data yadda yadda and wiped my character clean of itesms and meseta. I was so pissed when i found that person i cursed them out in front of dozens of players in a lobby for giveing me a hacked item that clearly was the reason my character had all their gear and money reset to 0. So I can understand that japanese player also that talks about how the game was hacked to death and ruined, it was. Who started it I don't care, i just know what it did to the game.

from what i see, the JP are pissed at these players who arent really 100% na. the fact of the matter is that they do speak english thus damage the whole english speaking population (which is like 50% or more, the other half wud be them)

i hate to say it but this problem has affected more than it shud. english speaking players have a hard time communicating with the JP because the jp think or assume they are NA (from the language they speak). of course there are circumstances when this does not occur but the fact remains that our reputation (the english speakers) is getting whupped. this also leads to the growing problem of EN players hating the JP more. since the jp go JP only, the EN refuse to play and even despise the JP players (which again isnt good)

best thing we can do now (yes all of us) is to try and see both sides of the argument. it wont help if we continue this pointless problem :| it just ruins the game for everyone.

(i am not a US player, i am from asia but the thing is i cannot use my native language in the game unless the person i am talking to is a fellow countrymen. i am forced to use NA as my primary language inside FFXI and i have experienced being told JP ONLY i'm sorry. i just go thank you. take care ^^. doesnt hurt to be friendly)

its unfortunate. I have actually partied with a few "JP Party Only" JP and they were very very nice. Someone explained it to me once..about how we NA do disrespectful things like /laugh at dead people..and to them its a very big insult. I dont know if that is true becausemy knowledge of asian languages & cultures falls just shy of mongloid - meaning, Im dumb.

He or she ate it <.<

I completly agree with you there.
as for kittycat maybe its cus he runs a hnm - compitition?

I tried encoding these to english and all I got was that stupid winding font >.<

Guess I can try pasting it to MS Word and see what it does.

Japanese players should think to much of NA politness.It's Japanese culture that dictates their own politness in society,however Americans run by different standards.Who are they to judge us saying we are inpolite? One phrase to an American may be polite or casual but may be extremely offensive to a Japanese player,they should realize this,that we have different cultures. They get mad when we laugh at dead people,while an American player may just laugh too,it's a joke. After all it's just a game,we should all have fun and not worry about being polite and formal.
The Japanaese view of courtesy is WAY different than American courtesy,it doesn't mean they have it and we don't they just express it in a different way than us,we are in fact two wildly different cultures. They think our actions are barabaric and inpolite,while at the same time we think we are being polite and nice,and it's THEIR reaction to our politness that's cruel and rude.

Is it safe to say Japanese players are Xenophobic a tad?

Xenophobic? Hmmm kinda. You can say that. But more on afraid they will look stupid trying to talk to foreigners. See they've been learning english in since grade school until college but most of them can't speak the language. Most who have been to school can read and form sentences but they are having problems expressing their thoughts orally. At present they are trying their best to practice foreign languages thus the boom of english schools in Japan. Well most of them are trying to communicate... Ive been to mixed parties lately and each one is trying their best(using translations etc...) so its not as worse as it used to be. There are just some jerks anywhere in Japan or in NA orother countries that is giving each one a bad name.

Not all Japanese think foreigners are impolite nor all foreigners are polite. Its a "social" game and most of the time you can't please everyone because of your differences. We even argues with our own brothers and sisters because of differences. What do you expect from a large collection of people with totally different beliefs, tradition? Communication is the answer or just show them not everyone is a jerk. Yesterday my LS asked me to translate for them talking to this guy from the US because he was really cool my Japanese friends loved him.

I used the Google Japanese to english webpage translator located as an advanced feature on the google.com web page.
