If your looking to enjoy the storyline your out of luck. We can't read it and the english patch doesn't help.
It's difficult when you first start but if you remember to just follow the red markings on your map and make good use of your scouter you'll be fine. And no there isn't an autopilot feature. This game is more questing than grinding. In fact if you do all of them you shouldn't run out very often.
Level 20-30 is very repetitive. Other than that this game is addicting I'm not sure I'll ever stop.
Yea I agree, I wish that the english patch was useful for quest but othere than that it is pretty addictive to me too
