Well, from what I've read, MMORPGs are fairly popular in Asia in general. WOW hasn't hit Japan yet, but it's taken China by storm. I'm pretty sure Square-Enix will figure out they really need to play catchup with Blizzard the second WOW hits Japan.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
