So I decided on my trial run of the game to play on a Japanese server and play 'spot the Rei'.  So far no Fujita-san, but I have met some really amazing people.

Other things - I fucking love this play style.  The MMO reminds me of a mix between Lord of the Rings and Secret World.

But I guess I have to say it makes you feel like you're playing a platform Final Fantasy and that's just... amazing.

The music nods to Final Fantasy as well - right down to playing chocobo music when on chocobo.

The character creation is STUNNING.  I've only seen advanced character creation like this for MMO in Secret World.

Emotes remind me heavily of LotRO, which is awesome because I always loved those emotes.

So far I love the ease of questing and gameplay.  Also just how... well, damn friendly everyone is.
