F'uck.

Yeah, that's how most MMOs in Japan are, because they also try to catch the eye of younger players and younger players may not know more complicated Kanji and stuff.

That's how Dragonica JP is, too. It's very easy to read compared to a game like 鬼魂.

Evan tutorial map: 鬱蒼とした森
Aquaroad: 深淵海峡
Mu Lung: 宝島の掠奪
Crimsonwood: 慙愧の洞窟, 羞愧の洞窟, 緩徐なる坂, 強禦なる道, 危殆なる道
Jipang hime map: 大仏との邂逅
Not sure where: 黄昏の黎明の間

Japanese MMOs try to make it child-friendly but often epic fail in the process. The kanji contained in these maps aren't even on the standard list of kanjis taught in schools; most adults wouldn't be able to read 'em.

[edited] I see no point playing s'hitty Japanese MMOs when you have WoW, RO, UO, etc. and XBox Live.
