I still think there should be a way for non-Japanese speaking players to type in Japanese characters (hiragana/katakana) to some extent. I am teaching myself Japanese and would like to be able to communicate more efficiently. They are able to type in roman alphabet as well as their own language; it should go both ways. How else are the language barriers going to be broken down? Personally, to me, the auto-translate is horribly inadequate and needs to be updated. :/

SE didn't want to pay the licensing fee for western clients otherwise it would be possible.

This makes me sad, since the divide will continue to exist until something is done about it...I am sure the licensing is affordable with the $$$ SE is making off this game. (Then again, I don't know the cost either so who am I to judge^^) Also my NA client displays kanji and kana perfectly, so an IME should not be that difficult to add. And I have already heard the argument about us potentially abusing their language by getting this ability...Who is to say the opposite does not also happen? Where is the trust and equality, I wonder...

Wishful thinking, perhaps. But it would be nice...
