Elmer's Q&A with Japanese players

But not everyone wants to learn another language, especially for a game they just want to log into and chill out on.

That is the logic behind JPONLY. Personally, I still construe it as being slightly racist and nationalist even though the general consensus was exactly what you said.

I can understand JPONRY being because they want to be able to fully communicate with their fellow adventurers. But, more often than not, it's really because they hate foreigners. I've come across way too many hate comments in search and bazaar comments to think otherwise.

Of course, there are still pleanty out there that will want to play with foreigners. It just irks me that the Japanese want or expect us to conform to their way of playing, and don't even consider that maybe they are the ones that are being rude and uptight (of course, generalising here, there are English players out there like this too).

But then again, maybe all this kind of information comes from all the people who are obsessed with Japan and think the Japanese are by far the best players in the game, so they copy them. I don't know.

Its just a different culture, pretty much to me, if you dont speak Japanese then dont party with them. They dont speak English so they dont party with you kinda stuff. It goes both ways, its just they were more vocal about it in their search comments and sometimes its not expressed right.

I party with whomever as long as they dont kill me rofl.

So what did they ask us?

There was a follow-up to this in which we were asked questions from the Japanese community: JP Player Reaction from EN Players
