Played on GFWL with a kid from Japan. It somehow timed perfectly that I played with them after my school finished. He couldn't speak english well so no voice chat. Communication was only through like the four preset gestures but somehow worked perfectly. They would always spam the "thank you" gesture after we got through difficult fights. After we finished the campaign, a message popped up from them. It was just "thank you" in english. Made me tear up.
