Got an important idea...

Okay, so I am planning on buying a magic swap slim disc and a flip top cover for my ps2 to play some japanese games...well if I get a Japanese version game for MH1 would i be able to play online? becuz i live in north america becuz i heard that the servers are still online in japan...so idk... if i get mh1 jap version will everything be in japanese of can i translate it someway to english?? As for MH2 dos im still planning on getting it...but is it a very good game to play??? I was also planning on importing MHG for ps2 also lol...is it a good game also??? :|

Yeah, you should be able to play online.
Expect a bit of lag due to being very far away from the server bases.
I have no idea how MH2 is, but there is somebody on the forum who has it (Zacano).
Cosidering how MHF is esssentially MHG, it's a good game.
Also, unless you're very familiar with the Monster Hunter item icons and want to put in some time learning the end-Kanji of items, you may just have some problems with the Japanese. :P

Okay, well i heard that you have to pay 10.00 a month in order to play the MH1 Japanese servers...??? So idk..lol

No, that's for MH2 servers.
And it definitely isn't 1000 Yen.
It should be around 500 a month.

500 dollars well i got ripped off i guess lol.... thats crazy are you sure you have to pay to play it????

500 Yen, not Dollars.
500 Yen = roughly somewhere between $5 and $6.

Okay, well I just got both swap magic and mh1 japanese, and I tried to go online with it, and as soon as I got into the DNAS screen it made it to 50% and then it jumped back down to 0... then it said something in japanese, but the error code was -402...
I'm thinking that the Japanese servers went offline but I don't know.

Okay, well I finally found a way around the DNAS thingy, well I need help reading the Japanese here lol MH Jap

I finally got registered, and now I am officially playing online on the Mh1 japanese servers, there is always about 20 people online constantly.. you guys should start thinking about playing it !
