IGNPS2: How does it feel to have everything done with the release of FFXI?

Yasu Kurosawa: It's very exciting to see a lot of players on there. A lot of players who haven't played MMORPGs before, too.

IGNPS2: Have there been any translation issues between the American and the Japanese players online?

Yasu Kurosawa: We didn't think it was going to be used that much, but almost every player has been using it. Before they go into battle they pre-macro sentences. A lot of people also use that for searching for help or party members.
