lol I just clicked this thread cause that title is hilarious.

Before Thread:
Sword Art Online? So is it an MMO or multiplayer game about enjoying the beauty and craft of designing swords and how the fuck would that work? Hollow Fragment? Are these like broken pieces of a glass sword?

Click the thread and it's some dude whisking his animu bride off to get married. wat

It's single-player only. It's one of those fake MMOs like .Hack. It's based on a shitty anime that some people love for "reasons"*.

Apparently, the American release kept the janky-awful English translation used for the Asian release. Scamco strikes again. :neogaf

JOE NO.

You were playing FF games until now. Don't let the husbandos tempt you.  :'(

Takao you missed a lot of matters.

I almost want to buy this for the localization, but that costs money and I don't want to give it to Scamco.

Yeah, the English subbing was done in Japan for the continental Asian release, and are total Engrish. People justifiably assumed they would be fixed for the American release. Nope.

I'm probably going to kick myself later on for asking a genuine question about the game, but...

How does this game "work", exactly?  I understand it's an ARPG and that you sleep with people to rank up with them or something (unless I'm misunderstanding), but is it balanced in terms of stats and stuff, and does ranking up with your buddies grant you perks in battle?  How well does the Risk System work in your favour and is it easy to read enemies in order to take advantage of it?

I'm still trying to figure this out myself. The tutorial is basically like "Press a button to attack, but sometimes press another button to do something else. Please understand." Probably gonna need to hunt down an FAQ online.

It looked like a PSO game so I kinda want it.  :-\ Someone on a Facebook group I use was advertising it to the group. But they're a major otaku, so I guess it makes sense.
