I don't know why people had such great experiences playing with Japanese people while playing FFXI, I thought it was terrible.

I mean, no offense to them but they had some strange traditions.
Such as, disbanding the party as soon as any single person left... even if you were searching for a group for 2 or more hours.

Also, no matter how good I was at using the in-game translation system, most Japanese speaking people would ask me if I spoke Japanese; If i replied with "No I don't sorry" (using the in-game translator) I wouldn't get in an invite to the party.
Likewise, If I lied and said yes, I'd get an invite and most likely not have to actually say a thing anyway.

Also no Japanese speaking people ever really joined my party if we needed to fill a position.

It was literally the worst thing about FFXI.
