Now i see what just happened!" and i'll savor the story that much more...did that make ANY sense or am i just weird?
Haha I understand you... But in my opinion the first time someone plays the game is always the most exiting. Lets say that you're a kid and you just got the video game you've always wanted. The first time you play the game is just so magical and you'll want to know all the tricks and the story and explore... But the second time you play it, you know all the moves and all the secret areas, so it just won't be as magical as the first time you played it. So in my opinion, if I play the Japanese version first and then the North American later, I'll be bored of the NA version too fast because I'm gonna have to do everything that I did in the Japanese version all over again. Not fun. And on top of that, you can't understand what other people are saying or the dialogue in the JP version, so if the first time you play Dragon Nest is the JP version it also won't be as magical because you can't fully undertsand it.

I hope that made sense.
