Will you import or wait

Personally, I'll import the JNP version if the NA version still has TBA date or a 4 months+ waiting period.

Ditto.
I can feel the headaches already...

I'm importing, even though I don't know any Japanese whatsoever.

I'm hoping my sheer enthusiasm for the game will somehow let me overcome that particular hurdle.

lol, Importing with "Zero" lack of knowledge of Jap. I'm hoping for some good guides to come out quickly.

(Side question, Is talking about ROMs and R4's allowed on this site?)

Well I played PSOBB and PSU in Japanese and it went pretty well for the most part. This is a real time action game, you move around and you hit what you want to kill, there isn't too many ways you can loose yourself in the language barrier. OK so shopping will take a bit more time, but once you have your stuff, you're OK.

Well considering that this site still won't let people talk about Free servers for PSO even if the game is pretty much dead, I'd say no.

I'll likely ask for the import for Christmas, see if it gets an English release, and in the one in a million chance it doesn't, I'll just play it. I'd much prefer to experience the entire thing in English first, although who knows? Maybe it'll have a multilingual feature like PSO did. If it does, I'll just go ahead and play it from the start. I'll eventually get around to opening it, but probably not until I fully play through the English version and get a feel for that first. Like one of my friends said, "They [Japan] get all the content anyways."

You wish :P

Gonna wait for an English release, cause I'd rather understand it all from the get go so I can enjoy the story mode, plus I have too much stuff pre-ordered that comes out during these last two months of the year. So broke. D8

If I was sitting on piles upon piles of money however... I'd probably import just to play online with other importers, and then buy it again later in English to get the most out of the game.

With all of my heart. =\

This, and I'm gonna buy a EU copy when it's out. Already preordered at Play-Asia.
