    uh, no.

    they don't need money. they can print their own money. it's a government.

    if you want to really help out put yourself on a plane and head on over there to donate your time and labor. they can use as much man power as possible to clean up regions affected. i am sure there are humanitarian relief efforts goind on right now for the area.

    a 1-way ticket to Japan costs upwards to $1,300+ and that does not cover living expenses, food, and other stuff that atm is severely limited. Going there would be a huge waste of money on your end and you'd just be "In the way" over there using up the little resources they have in this crisis.

    If you really wanna support them donate money to a credible organization that is going to send aid their way. I myself dropped $100 at American Red Cross where my mom works just so I can feel that I may have saved someone's life.

    Why on earth would they print their own money. That would ruin the value of their currency and flood the already deflating economy. They need money that is currently in surrculation not just make money out of thin air. We dont need another "federal reserve" problem, 1 is enough.

    Really you should think before posting.

    The best advice I can offer to the OP, sure its a great idea. However paying for a game is not going to help the natural disaster relief in Japan. Your efforts would be best served by donating to organizations who assist with that problem, not a video game. Just bec its stationed in Japan does not mean they have the sole responsibility of helping fix the issue. There ar enough organizations out there where your money would be best served. We want to pay for the game to upgrade it and keep it going. You need to send your money in the right direction. The only thing buying crysta is going to do is help SE not Japan.

    Government 101: Printing more money lowers the value of the current note. All governments base their value of the note on gold.

    As far as paying for this game. I would say that if you feel the strong urge to donate money then do it by funding a relief organization. And in this case of Argh's argument helping them personally would also benefit them greatly.
