    I am thinking about importing this, but I know no Japanese so will I be able to understand the game and be able to get the gist of it?

    If your talking about the Project Diva games then yes. You'll pick it up quickly. Not to critique you but in the future please be more descriptive of what your refering to in a thread. Also welcome to the forum ^_^

    No problem, glad I could help. At first it might be a little confusing buy you'll pick up on it in no time.

    Definitely. The menu items all have icons that are pretty easy to figure out and the gameplay is all symbol-based (PS buttons and arrows). You can fumble your way through pretty much everything else.

    Also, it helps to learn katakana and hiragana. (At least katakana.) Only takes a week or less depending on how long you can study each day, and most things written in katakana are actually English words.

    Ok thanks for your help. I downloaded the demo and I could, for the most part figure out what was happening.
    @Daverost I will look into learning katakana and maybe hiragana.

    I remember when I started playing the PD2nd demo for the very first time, the only thing that ever confused me was figuring out what those directional notes were. I'd press the button on the D-Pad but nothing would happen. I thought to myself "Okay, maybe I need to unlock something in order use them or I need something for my PSP to do this?" I mean it was a demo and sometimes they leave out features until the final version is finished. After stumbling on the bus one time playing and almost dropping my PSP I managed to hit that note and then realized that you actually could get them in game. After experimenting I figured out that you need to hold the correct symbol button and then hit the d-pad button in order to make it work. Now I suppose I could have looked it up online but I just wanted to try the game myself without doing that, I'm one of those people who rarely reads a manual and just prefers to get hands on with something.
