Picking up Japanese was probably one of the best decisions I could ever make, seeing that neither the original GE2 nor Rage Burst are seeing a western release, as of writing. It at least gives me a grasp of what's going on in the character episodes since those are easier to translate than the majority of story cutscenes. (Damnable kanji and their many meanings...)
The wiki's gonna be a busy place for a while if I've got anything to say about it for the next few weeks.
