Could you possibly define what you mean by asianphile? It is a slang term, and I am seeing it for the first time.


I'll jump in here. There might be another word for it in terms of Asia, but it's like 'anglophile', for one who likes things having to do with England.

That's not entirely true. There's so many asianphiles in the U.S that it's almost sickening. And B&S will attract a larger crowd than TERA due to that art style. The anime crowd is a large and fierce one. Not to mention NCSoft (as far as I know) doesn't region lock unless they have the game available in that particular region already.

I searched for the term, but the definitions were unclear. Usage of the word varies to mean many different things...

So, I am a bit curious as to what you meant when you used that particular word in your post.


Asianphile is basically someone who's into all things asian, the worse kinds are weeaboos, I sure you've heard of them?

Interesting, I have once been called a weeaboo, but that is another story.

It just seems interesting that you would associate the "anime crowd" with "asianphile". I do agree that most "asianphile" are part of the "anime crowd", but I don't think most of the "anime crowd" are "asianphile." Just wanted to state that...

But yes I agree that the market is very large. How large? I have no idea. Fairly big, I don't see how it could be sickeningly big.

Most of the incredibly loud, and INCREDIBLY obnoxious part of the "anime crowd" are weaboos and asianphiles. That's why if you don't want to come off as that, then it's best to chill out and resist the temptation of blurting things out in shattered Japanese.

Well... im not loud, and I don't think I am obnoxious

Ofcourse, I do speak in japanese some, but only because the conversation specifically requires it... because the conversation just starts having so much japanese that I end up switching to japanese without thinking... usually completely accidently when in a public setting

That's why I said "shattered." ;P If it's like a language you actually speak, and the conversation actually calls for it, then there's nothing too "weaboo-ey" about it, it's just when people go all "OMG MY ERIN IS SO KAWAII (=^.^=)~♥ NYAH" is when the weaboo / asianphile label is thrown.

1. That is exactly how I read that, and that is EXACTLY what I saw when I read that. XD

2. When I laid eyes on that picture, one singular low piano note played (literally), and it amplified the lulziness.

Interesting... It's the one race you couldn't pay me to play... Sorry, I just think they look stupid as hell and I hate even seeing them running around myself... They are even more ridiculous then little furry animal CHRs running around... (I am in favor of options to support a variety of players however, so...)

To each their own though I guess...
