I'd rather have problematic content rather than a lack of content.

Personally speaking, I want to know how many players on the NA side will be playing it simply to associate it with PS1-4/PSO1/PSU and how many will be playing it without any prior exposure to the Phantasy Star "universe".
I mean, I only played PSO1 for about a few weeks prior to its demise on the NA servers (this is Blue Burst we're talking about here, iirc), and what time I did spend in PSU was prior to the release of AoTI, which I never got to experience (and surely envy those who did).
But since we as gamers and people have grown up, there's been a newer generation to take its place. My concern/curiosity is how many of those will be:
A)Coming from the Western shithole-communes of WoW/GoW/CoD/LoL that apparently try to meme-ify anything and everything they find in the most immature of ways (think immature little "punks", for lack of a better word)
B)Coming into this game from the Korean MMO hives of MapleStory/Ragnarok Online/Elsword/etc. that are looking for an escape from the corporatist tactics of the groups that host said games (specifically Nexon)
C)Coming into this game with no prior MMO experience but having experience in single player action games. Specifically those who are console junkies but never felt the desire to go from solo to netplay.
Of these groups, I'd love for Group A to kindly get a maturity check before they step into this game, Group B to wind down from the massive hate for hosting companies that they've had prior (these guys tend to expect the most outlandish of phenomena to occur), and for Group C to speak up and seek out others of their kind (not just within THEIR group but within OURS as well).
Group C has me the most interested, whilst Group A has me the most disgusted. Group B is meh.
That said though, I'm definitely playing the NA version once it gets here - being able to experience ALL the content in a language that I'm familiar with (although the transition will definitely be weird at first) is probably the biggest factor in me making the jump. Being heavily unable to understand the Japanese players gives me a serious amount of unexplainable paranoid discomfort (which I attribute to a culture shock - won't go into that here as it would veer heavily off-topic and possibly cause a flame war).
Don't get me wrong - I've enjoyed my time here. It's just that I have this feeling of.... suppression and fear that I can't shake. Maybe it stems from how small the EN community is on the JP servers and how large their community is. I honestly don't know. But whatever.
Y'all are free to berate and praise my opinions however the hell you want. But please allow me to have them. In turn, I'll respect your opinions.
