Hi!
Is it possible to type Japanese on the European client? I'm bilingual so it seems to waste to not use a perfectly useful language in this game. Using roman letters irritating to read when using Japanese.
Many thanks if you have an answer x

It's not, but it's been suggested to add IME support several times already.
It was petitioned at NA release, and an SquareSoft employee said it won't happen because the PS2 IME is ~$60 per license, and they don't want to pay that for each and every non-JP version they sell. It would also trigger more tech support calls, costing SE more money, when people that don't know anything about Japanese accidentally hit the toggle and switch into JP input mode and don't know the keystrokes to get out of it.
The only given answer is to install the JP version and use that when you need to type Japanese.
Unless you're willing to break the EULA, which of course, you shouldn't. Because that's not allowed.
It would be reassuring if SE went out and said "we don't officially support japanese IME for non-japanese clients, but we will not ban non-JPs who magically found a way to type in japanese."
