Someone who is obsessed with Japan/Japanese Culture/Anime, etc. and attempts to act as if they were Japanese, even though they're far from it. They use Japanese words but usually end up pronouncing them wrong and sounding like total ***. You can find alot of these *** clogging up the forums of Gaia Online, hanging out in the international aisle of the supermarket, or crowding the manga section of your local bookstore. Synonym of wapanese.

Someone who is obsessed with what they think is Japanese culture. Basically screaming, crying, and being cute.

Edit: oh right, I forgot anime.

Japanese wanna-be who misuses words like desu/kawaii and is an extreme fan of anime/manga to the point where they would cosplay.
Alternatively, they think anime characters love them. or something like that

But idk about the Sakaguchi thing. He did only direct up to FFV. He is listed for "original concept" for the rest of them until he left, though. That can mean as much as an almost directing role or as little as "he started this franchise so he is being given credit even though he hasn't shown up to work in a week." The stories weren't even spectacular in his day, and the original game was just a knockoff of Dragon Quest. I do put some unverified merit to his name though, which is why I am interested in playing the Last Story if it ever comes out here.
I suppose it's speculation at best. Director or producer, either way you have a large hand in the project and aren't just footing the bill. I like to believe the stories were largely his. He certainly didn't make his own company on the foundation that he had paid for the development of very successful games, so there has to be something else there.

I've never played the original DQ nor FF1. I know FF1's story, however, and it's more complex than anything I've experienced playing DQ (for the record the last (and only) DQ I played was 7)

I'd say that Dragon Quest 7's story was more complex than Final Fantasy 1...

The best Dragon Quest storyline is V's though, by far. You should pick that one up on the DS if you're into that kind of thing.

No weeaboo thread is complete without foam adventure



I die a little inside when I see this. I actually memorised the last part of the URL So I could avoid being linked it.

From what I remember, it was a series of "solve one town's plight and then move to the other", which I got tired of after about 10 iterations. Admittedly didn't finish it, so I can't judge the "overall" story since I never got that far (evidently), and admittedly FF1 probably seems much the same way until you finally get to the end. Eh.

Playing the better DQs is definitely on my todo list which grows ever larger by the day.

I die a little inside, I actually watched 2 minutes of it and shuddered and it went off.

This is one of the worst videos on youtube right now.

Followed by a woman who sticks a can of soup up her vagina in front of an audience starts rambling about politics and calls it art.

Having admiration for another culture is one thing, but it seems this just dives face-first into obnoxious territory. Especially the girl in the video that Ashleh posted.

I need to commandeer Spence's "/spenceface"

Then the DS remake of Dragon Quest V should sate your interest. It's definitely my favorite Dragon Quest game. I would avoid the remake of IV, but that's just my opinion. I started the remake of VI but never finished it, but it had a decent storyline for a Dragon Quest game.
