Getting your ass kicked by a post apocolyptic fairy priceless.

im Dling the game right now, so tell me Is it hard to understand all the text in this game, I mean even with msapploc?

Can you give me a quick rundown on useful info and a breakdown of the UI? I would appreciated it

If anyone has install complications a thread at gamefaqs has some troubleshooting info. The hardest part was actually naming your toon and you might have to turn on regional settings on windows xp so you can switch to japanese letters using left alt+shift. If all else fails just do I what did and name your toon random letters lol. Be careful though you are only limited to one toon it seems unless you get some kind of currency called cp but since your name will mostly be in japanese I wouldn't worry about it too much.
