A lot of retro games aren't great for learning japanese at a certain level because they're either:
>only in hiragana
>have kanji but the font makes them extremely hard to read
Which is unfortunate because I started learning to play games like the MOTHER series in their original language but those games are fully in hiragana (as far as i can tell) which is imo hard to read.
Newer games have all these fancy features like furigana toggles and voice acting but I'm partial to retro.

I'm wondering if any of you have experience playing retro vidya as a jp learner and if you have any recs for immersing.

Mother 3 is literally the reason I started learning Japanese. Breath of Fire II and that Tenchi Muyo game on SNES were the last games I played in Japanese. I also tried playing one of the Saburo Jinguji games on PSX because a friend of mine who's into the series and was curious about those games wanted my help with them, but it was a bit dense for me. I never got too good at the language despite all my years studying it.

I'm not sure what to recommend for a learner, but I think there's a lot of visual novel type games on PSX/2 if you're into that.

>>12437106
Yea that's probably for the best although some of the recs from here >>12436903 like tokimeki look fine

>>12437138
>Mother 3 is literally the reason I started learning Japanese.
Same for me at least one of the reasons. Did you finish it because I'm considering just dealing with the kana for MOTHER 2/3.
Breath of Fire II's text looks fine so ill keep that in mind too.
>visual novel type games on PSX/2
I guess there's a shitton on the ps2 at least. Never knew that.

>A lot of retro games aren't great for learning japanese at a certain level
The real truth is that all Japanese native media is "not great" for learning Japanese, because Japanese creators do not care about what JSLs think. They make things with the expectation that native JP speakers are engaging with it, regardless of their age.
No one "writes down" to JSLs. When they do "write down" to younger readers, it is usually in ways that are not a help at all to JSLs, again, because of the expectation as to who is engaging with it.
So, when you fire up an episode of imouto-core anime like Pretty Cure and hear words such as 汚名返上 (freq: 48k+) or 燻り出す (freq: so low it isn't measured), or when you're playing Pokemon and bump into 水夫 (freq: 30k+), or when you're reading LNs aimed at younger readers and see something like 泡沫 (freq: 32k+), they don't care, because the writers are expecting the younger audience to either intuit the meaning based on context, or to have already heard this word somewhere before, or to ask their parents/older siblings/dog/whoever.
When they bump into grammar elements (lol) like がてら, or びる (as in 大人びた and similar), or すら, they don't stop and think "holy shit N1 grammar, not bothering with THAT shit", again defaulting to either intuition, prior knowledge, or asking someone wiser for advice.
Your only choice is >>12436851, just keep reading, listening, playing. There is no quick or easy way that this stuff becomes second nature to you except to steep in it as much as possible.

I've had the best luck at Goodwill and other thrift stores, especially thrift stores that are associated with churches. Even if they don't have any TVs at the moment, introduce yourself and leave your number. I've had plenty of callbacks over the years. They're usually very eager to get rid of the bulky TVs.

I've reached the Gold City and this game is complete garbage. It's unfathomably clunky and has some of the worst bosses and combat I've ever experienced. It's not an old game thing considering Zelda nailed the action combat 7 years prior.

This is Nostalgia: The Game, nothing else.

>Trials of Mana, is vastly, vastly superior
I really don't agree. I actually find it a bit frustrating that the developers seemed to struggle so much with improving the formula. As ambitious and creative as it was in some ways, Legend has even worse combat somehow.

Finished it for the first time recently despite playing it for like 25 years. It was fun, and I want to play Trials soon. Is it overhyped? Yes. But it's a really good game for the SNES, and the music/graphics are really great.

Pretty sure I've seen you post this exact thing before, and I'm not sure where you developed this insane opinion. But I hope nobody has an interest in these games that would listen to you and fuck themselves over by not using demons.

Not him but I have posted that same point too, Demons just suck balls in MT1 and 2, SMT 1, 2 and IF... they didn't get good until Devil Summoner and Persona 1 (your party are more like demon human hybrids and magic is OP compared to the classic era of auto battling with swords and guns with just the MC)
>>
>>12436820
I remember when I played SMT2 I only ever summoned my demons when I needed them for boss fights. The old games kinda punished you for using demons needlessly with the magnetite system too.

Teknoparrot is the most up to date on myrient as well, the eggman repo also seems to only be on there.

wtf is an eggman repo or a temperate. Seriously. And why is it so rare or not found on any other rom site. Anyway, continue discussion or not I was just curious what that even was.

Just archiving what I can to a 2TB external drive I am just going to keep in storage for when it's needed. Got the Nintendo Gigaleak and Gamefreak Teraleak files, those alone take up a over half the drive. Got a few random things here and there I was interested in, and now I have about 180GB free.

Was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions for anything interesting I could backup in that remaining 180GB. Not really bothering with things I can easily get elsewhere like just about anything from Redump or No-Intro. Was considering maybe the Touhou set but stripped out of most fan content so it would fit, but there are probably better things I can do with that remaining space. What is that "Hardware Target Game Database" listing? Seems to be just random games, hacks, and homebrew for a few dozen systems. Or any really tiny No Intro sets that are just a few megs, or few hundreds at most, that I can toss on there just because they are so small and would take up almost no space for obscure or less popular systems.
>>
>>12437363
Get all touhou stuff.
>>
>>12437364
If I do I can easily get the official stuff for PC with about 80GB to spare, but I can't get the stuff made for other consoles, nor most of the fan content. 100% of all of the Touhou stuff on Myrient is around 300GB. So I can't fit all of Touhou on that drive, and if I only get the official stuff and everything else that isn't a fangame I would still have about 80GB left for other things.

Given that enemy behavior is different on Nightmare I'm surprised that there was never a NM-Pacifist timing category.

I imagine any map with multiple hitscan enemies would probably be impossible in such a category but generally the notion of NM-Pacifist does seem doable.
