Um... yeah, if you dont want to be flamed, starting out with a flame isnt going to help much.

1. Locations and races, so far that's all I'm sure of.
2. There's lots of English sites, just google it. The gameplay is the same as every other, the battle system is different, more like an mmorpg.
3. No one knows who the villain is currently, but I'll tell you now it isnt Kefka, Sephiroth, or Kuja. Since when has FF reused villians?
4. Dunno.
5. I think in April or May, I'm not exactly sure.
