Why this one got released on the international market noone can tell.
The game is about three peoples which got nothing better to do than to meet on the battle field once a day shooting their brains out for no apparent reason. And they do it in typical anime style. When you pick up that heavy armor consisting of little more than underwear you wonder how this thing can ever have the armor class it does.
The game just reeks of far eastern online gaming. Don't get me wrong, that's not necessarily a bad thing. However, it's clearly not fit for an international market since the target audience in the US or in Europe simply isn't overly enthusiastic killing pimped out bunnies and other cutsie critters to level up their almost nude androgyneous avatars. Anime enthusiasts however will feel like heaven on earth.

That's fine with kanji symbols but won't work with plain old western letters.
If you like it anime, if you want a game that simply delivers a far eastern way of life by all means go for RF Online. If you don't mind staring at an almost nude avatar all the time, then it's your kinda game. Perhaps I'm too old but I don't buy a game for its nudity.
