    Unhappy No one in japan loves us

    I was just looking at the EoFF map and noticed that there is no one from Japan registered here (at least according to the map). It's too bad that we don't have any local blood from where this site's reason for being comes from. Oh well...

    Perhaps it's people like you and me that scare them off. And I'm sure they all have their own massive collection of FF message boards, that you can only enter with Japanese keyboards (do they make those?). See, quite a lot of them don't speak English, so they wouldn't care. We actually don't have a WHOLE lot of people here where English isn't a first language, only our Danes and Scandinavians, pretty much. We got a few South Americans, too.

    Yeah, I figured that there wouldn't be many here because they have their own native baords and such. Just found it interesting that there aren't any on the map that are in Japan.

    Quite a few people from asian countries. We used to have plenty from Singapore.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Well, a lot of people in Singapore speak western languages, and would easily pick up on English, as it was settled by the Portuguese, right? But, no, not a lot of peeps from the Motherland...video game motherland, that is.

    I also noticed that there are a lot of Scandinavians here. Scandinavians rule.

    I'd love to go to Japan or Asia, or just to know more about some of those countries... Somebody find me a Japanese person! =O

    Japanese people have their own special keyboards? Interesting...

    All my friends are asian. We like to stick together.

    I think the japanese have a special keyboard, probably just one that allocates keys for strokes and lines instead of letters.

    My asian friends say they use the same keyboard, but there is a key on screen which lets you change the language. It's all too confusing for me.

    If there was japanese keyboard, it would be too huge.

    There are some Japanese people around here, but I don't think they put their location on there, and I'm not sure what their names are. I talked to a girl that lived in Japan from here; she's on my MSN list, but I haven't seen her in ages...
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    Yeah, just us Finns, and you Norwegian freaks.

    As King Bahamut said, an Average Japanese person doesn't speak good English ( if at all), as far as I've understood it. That might be one reason. They just love eating sushi and eating various boiled genitals.
