14 hours so far and I just left Ding Dong Dell.

is that what the first city is called in the english translation  ? because I just left that one

y dont u get the english version?

I bought it, played a few hours. It's pretty damn amazing.

because I want to learn japanese and that's more fun if you do it while playing a great game ;)

Yes, that is correct.

I have a habit of trying to accomplish EVERYTHING before I move on to the next place. I am a VERY slow JRPG gamer.

I'm sure you know but just in case you don't. Be careful if you're using the translation to check for meanings or words.

A lot of times, when they localize it. they change phrases, names, even meanings etc. Sometimes certain phrases directly translated sound akward so they make it "cooler", and sometimes because there's just no direct translation so they make up a new one :P.

I did all the sidequests I could find before leaving aswell :).

hehe, yea, I'm only trusting my own translation ;)

Good luck, I got an email last night saying my order was canceled. And this is with a pending charget still sitting on my card for 2 days. Namco fucked up the launch royally and alot of ppl are having their orders straight up canceled. Digital River has been giving different answers to everyone who calls as well so they have been pretty much useless.

I just got an email that my copy shipped. So hopefully get it by monday.
