Translation Note: As Pixia was translated primarily from Japanese to English by non–native English speakers, you may find that a few terms might sound unnatural. You may also find a few areas where English hasn't yet been translated. We're always working to find and correct the fragments of English left to translate. We welcome your suggestions for English translation. Please post in our discussion board or send us an email.
Email split up to avoid spam: pixia_soldier is the first part and the latter part after "@" is yahoo.co.jp.
Obsolete: Only Pixia's English edition is actively developed. Maintaining multiple translations of Pixia was too cumbersome. However, we list the other–language versions of Pixia below for your convenience.
