I understand everything... I'm Japanese after all.
What is the point of this thread?
>>12254232believe it or not, there are actually people who are at war with a website.saddest thing.
But do you understand true love?
>>12254231>tfw rusty as hell and can't understand it anymore
I really only play games in japanese myselfYeah i know YWNBJ or whatever but i enjoy it
>>12254556>YWNBJwhen people say that its just insecure projection. Its a completely toothless insult to most normal people that just enjoy japanese games, are competent enough to learn something new, and arent delusional enough to think that games getting warped to fit into a different languages culture is an acceptable solution.
Question to the anons in this thread: do you just know enough to read Japanese, or do you actually know how to write and speak it too?
>>12254567I have completed over 300 text heavy japanese games largely unassisted by a dictionary. I can easily tell you the 音読み reading, 訓読み reading, and meaning of 1700+ kanji. I could probably write the 五十音 by hand but no promises, I havent done it in 5 years. I have no ability to create a natural japanese sentence in a conversation but I can understand what is being said to me fairly easily. Basically I know just enough to read Japanese.
I don't want a walkthrough.I think people should figure out the puzzles themselves, and learn to read Japanese.Five years ago, when I played Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire before the American version was out, I manually translated every line with a kanji dictionary to understand what the hell was going on. There's no reason people shouldn't do the same.
>>12254606>2001 was 5 years agoWhere does the time go...
>>12254606>Five years ago, when I played Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire before the American version was out, I manually translated every line with a kanji dictionary to understand what the hell was going on. There's no reason people shouldn't do the same.I can think of one pretty good reason: Ruby and Sapphire are written entirely in kana.
>>12254231What are the best mods to translate FF2 and FF3? They're the last classic FFs I haven't touched.
>>12254769Chaos Rush translations for both.
>>12254567i live in japan with a japanese wife and just barely failed the kanken 2 recently which is a test for writing and reading all the common kanji
I cba to learn Japanese. I memorized all the kana and can effortlessly read out English kana words which is enough to navigate most menus.
>>12254949Thank you. I've been playing 3 now and everything is good
>>12254238By pretending to be japanese?
>>12254231So how much worse is the English translation for 1
>>12254564okay but Ozzie Slash and Flea are peak
>>12258519Compared to?
>>12258562The original Japanese text
>>12258565How can the english translation be a worse translation than the non-translated original japanese text?
>>12258569A translation can be worse than the original for all kinds of reasonsThe translation can leave stuff out, if nothing elseOr maybe the Japanese original has a straightforward hint and a translation only has a maddeningly oblique hint
>>12260761But the japanese isn't a translation,
