I was wondering if anyone knew the Japanese terms/vocab/abbreviations for the Japanese version of Perfect World? I can read hiragana and katakana fluently, but I can read only about 80 kanji, so I thought I'd play PWJ just for something fun while learning Japanese.

Can anyone help? I'm downloading PWJ now. :)

    I think posting in other languages is also frowned upon (if not downright against forum rules).

    Also, Perfect World is Chinese, not Japanese, though of course they share a character set. The Chinese/kanji for Perfect World is 完美世界. Beyond that, I can't really help you much.

    edit: You might be able to get something from the Auction House: Search Filters thread in the Trading Post forum, that was our attempt at making some use of the (then-untranslated) Auction House search filters. It's mostly just the names of various random items though.

    Pretty close actually, but there's no La Li Lu Le Lo in the japanese hiragana.

    I think it'd be closer to perufekuto woruudo.

    You can't have a 'f k' letter combination either in japanese, it just doesn't exist, so need to twist it bit further.
    They do have Ra Ri Ru Re Ro, but you can't have 'rf' combination either, hence ru in word perfect.
    In the word world the pairing 'lr' is impossible since there's no L to begin with, so I'd replace with a ru and a long u (Written 'rou' in hiragana, but pronounce and written 'ruu' in romaji)

    Ah yes... The japanese version. I really don't know much about it except that a few players make parodies from it on Pixiv.

    The only term per-se that I can read from this example is that Earthflame is called Gaiaflame. 完美世界 is used more than パーフェクトワールド as well. And that's pretty much all I know.

    its pronounced Paafekuto Waarudo >.>;;

    if you actually wanna google related fansites or websites and afraid 完美世界 might pull up the chinese site, put in "Kanbi Sekai" thats the actual pronunciation
