I've been addicted to this online roll-playing game for more than 3 years. I think online games is one of a good way to practice languages because there are oversea players and you have a lot of chance to textchat with them. The sad thing is that some of Japanese players are still afraid of oversea players because they feel a language barrier and oversea players often have their own way to do things which is totally different from Japanese way. Maybe oversea players feel the same too. I've heard that FF11 will be released in Europe soon. I'm pretty excited to see people chatting in French or German or any other European language in the game!
