So, I'm curious and my knowledge of Japanese--like many here, are limited to very phrases, so there would be no way of me knowing...but I'm curious as to how Japanese players feel about us "outsiders" playing their game/beta.
When I say outsider--well, I pretty much mean any players living in America, Europe...etc., not sure how they feel about Asian countries though I'll presume they might be more apathetic to them if they are able to communicate on some degree of Japanese.
Not trying to start anything here, but my experience with previous PSO/PSU titles, as well as other Japanese MMO franchise (FFXI, FFXIV) leads me to believe that they're generally not too fond of foreigners playing with them, on the basis of the language barrier and seemingly--two because of the simple fact we're not Japanese; obviously not everyone is like that.
So I'm curious, has there been any discussion on their forums or in game about us playing their beta? I'd have to believe someone, somewhere out there has already blamed us for the unstable servers--and I would not be surprised to see some sort of petition to exclude us from the official launch.
If I had to be honest, I'd say this post is more of me being prepared for the worst; I don't want to be hyped about this game or beta knowing they might try some regional blocking--Sega of America is not looking too hot these days, so I'm not counting this game for a state-side release.
