You said you use the JP POL for ffxi, what exactly is that, just the JP version of ffxi? I'm interested, please get back to me, on this talk page if possible, thanks.

it'd be easier to get back with you if you had an account that you used to post that comment, but no matter. Essentially, japanese playonline unlocks all japanese language functionality of final fantasy xi, and indeed, all jp functionality of Playonline itself (naturally, since it IS the japanese client) as said in my Userpage, i used to use windower. i don't anymore, though, since all i really needed it for was the JP input functionality, and needing to readjust the gamma every time was getting annoying.

i've verified myself that an american (or EU, 360, pc, or ps2 doesn't matter) account CAN be played using Japanese Playonline. the only thing you'd still need your local version of playonline is for account management. the thing is, you need to be able to READ japanese, too, in order to be able to use jp pol to play ffxi. since the game detects you are using jp pol, it uses japanese spell names, japanese auto-translates, and the japanese game script. the only thing NOT in japanese are the "=== Area: [Current Area] ===" when you zone, and "< Welcome to [Current Server] >".

there's a slight registry edit that needs to be done if you are going to use it, though, and that means you need to have some experience using the registry editor in Windows to make it work. if you know what you're doing and know where to look, it should be easy enough... other than that, i avoid giving tutorials on it, it keeps the population of people like me down. this way only the determined and/or knowledgeable few can install and make it work.
