We are no longer accepting additional editing help unless you know Japanese. Experience in playing the game is a plus.

If you pass, we want you on the team! The test will consist of an image containing Japanese text including kanji, so you won't be able to cheat by copy-pasting the text into a dictionary.

If yes, send a PM to Densetsu with your English translation of the image. As active members who are directly involved in the project, we wanted control of the first post so we could update the topic easily. In the second attempt, the topic creator went AWOL over 2 years ago (made 10 posts and disappeared forever), and there was no organization.
