I really don't get why this is such an issue in Japan, because rival events and seeing your friends get married along with you is natural progression.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The esc key isn't even used, you go to the menu using what feels like random buttons, use backspace to get back out of the menu or have to rightlclick (which is better, but doesn't even get explained)
