Still waiting eagerly on the North American localization of Bless Online? Japanese players don’t have to wait. Japanese players get to take part in the game’s first localized closed beta on April 28th, although that doesn’t help people who don’t speak Japanese. Or maybe it does; we currently don’t know if the beta will have an IP block, so it’s possible that you can slip in and take part in the test despite not being Japanese.
Of course, you’ll still be faced with a game that isn’t translated into your language, but that’s the challenge you live with. The beta should be running until May 4th. Of course, there’s still no news to report on the NA localization, so perhaps slipping into the Japanese test and trying really hard to read that is actually a good idea. You’ve got about a week to learn the language. Study hard!
