Japanese Keyboard

You can, however, use the JP version of playonline which would allow you to type in Japanese using IME or a japanese keyboard. Doesn't require any 3rd party tools.

I'm not sure what this means.

Nope meaning I can't, or nope meaning I am wrong and I can?

You can't.

Only if he wants the ffxi to be in japanese.

Now im actually curious on this one myself.Since i live in Japan i bought a Japanese keyboard,but it only types in english,the language button doesnt seem ta work.Do i need something for this or is it a software problem? Will it not work on an American pc being a Japanese product?

1) if you are using english version of FFXI, you can't type japanese without third party tools
2) if you are using english version of windows, you need to install japanese language pack/IME before you can do it.

starts with something transparent placed in the holes in the walls of houses, and ends with the letter R

But discussing such things on SE's own forums (even if everyone uses it) is probably not a good idea. This is a topic you should visit a fansite forum for, such as http://forums.ffxiclopedia.com

I have a Japanese keyboard... works on the PS3... but it functions like a standard U.S. keyboard on Windows... the Kana and Alphanumeric keys don't do anything.

Japanese keyboards have the best ASCII art in the world. I'm jealous.

Technically JP keyboards do not produce ASCII at all. It's Unicode.
