Are there any good games that are only in japanese?
I've tried to learn a bit of japanese. I can read kana but that's it.
if you can only read kana then you will not be able to read an untranslated game
>>343144341
that really hurts
Apparently it's useful to play a game that you know all the text to or can skip easily, like Pokemon. Switch the language to Japanese and go from there.
>>343144464
Well there's Famicom and Gameboy games.
>>343144057
Try the Puyo Puyo games. They use mostly kana, if I remember correctly. Pretty easy to understand.
I recommend 20th Anniversary:

I'm learning nip right now. I can stumble through a kids manga while constantly looking things up.
One day man, one day.
>>343145315
What are you reading?
>>343144057
If you want to be motivated to speak the language, interest yourself in history, actual culture, traditions, mythology, religion, arts, etc... of the country.
Do NOT try to learn the language just because you like manga, animes, games, japanese pop culture, commercial medias, etc...
These are the worst reasons ever, you'll be despised by everyone ?japanese people included? and you'll eventually give up because it's not a strong enough reason to go through that hard work.
You'll really get motivated if you know japanese people or have a reason to talk with them, communicate and discover things.
If you're just a weaboo neet browsing memes on the web, watching animes and playing games, you shouldn't try to learn this language.
So, tell us, why do you want to learn Japanese?
>>343145727
Don't tell me what to do, bitch.
>>343145721
Not him, but I'm reading Eyeshield 21. It's easy since the book is mostly about American Football and features many loanwords.
>>343145727
Who gives a shit what other people think? You've got one life to live, learn a language for your own damn reasons.
>>343145727
Kindly go fuck yourself, fedora flicker.
>>343145727
lol
I learned more english by shitposting on 4chan than by listening to a teacher in class
I'll learn niponese for my animu and games if I want to
>>343145975
>Who gives a shit what other people think?
>>343144057
Download the Pokemon Emerald Rom in Japanese. Its all kana. talk to everybody and try to understand what they could be saying the game context. I recommend other pokemon games aswell.
>>343145727
fuck you I won't do what you tell me
>>343146082
>Being individualistic is being a fedora tipper now
I don't understand kids these days.
>>343146060
>>343145893But you won't get the cultural references in so many Japanese games that assume you know it from childhood.
>tfw trying to learn kanji
I cannot see myself learning it unless I actually take this serious as if my life depends on it.
Theres so many fucking symbols and ways to write them. I don't even understand how you correctly write phrases with them.
>>343145727
>learn japanese for the reasons I say
Try the RPG maker H-games that get pumped out regularly.
The loli ones usually have relatively simple japanese.
>>343146278
The same was true for your native language at first. You'll learn.
>>343146206
>Its all kana
Dropped.
>>343146278
There's a million valid reasons to learn a new language man. It could be as simple as finding the language its self interesting. Who cares if someone wants to learn a language to read comic books
>>343145727
>Bad reason to learn a language
There is no good or bad reasons to learn a language, you can practically get by just speaking English throughout the world.
>>343145893
Speaking of, anyone else notice it says you *can't* speak Japanese on OP's picture?
Is this some sort of reversal psychology Pitch? You can't get a girl, you can't drive sticks, you can't lose weight.
>>343144057
korean is the superior language and korean also has superior people why would you want to learn something gay like japanese?
>The loli ones usually have relatively simple japanese.
oh god
>>343146278
And?
Do you think only people who were born american play localized games?
>>343144057
1. Learn Kanji. It is very important. This is not like Korean where they're phasing out Chinese characters and you can do everything with the local writing system.
2. If you don't know that much Japanese yet, you'll have a difficult time trying to get through most games, even simple one.
3. Try Rockman.exe. A bunch of that game is loan words (プラグイン and stuff like that) and the Japanese is simple enough so children can read it. Alternatively, pick up a game for a shounen anime you've seen like Dragon Ball Z or Yugioh. I've been playing Yugioh Tag Force Special and it's pretty easy since the game features furigana and the kanji used are simple ones, usually voiced anyway.
>>343146074
>I learned more english by shitposting on 4chan than by listening to a teacher in class
I can relate to this.
>>343146443
nah nigga fuck that gook shit
their music sucks, all they've got going is their bbq, and they have shitty movies/vidya
>>343146493
quoting >>343146315
>>343146412
That's true for every Pokemon game (at least mainline) aside from X and Y, which gives a kanji option (instead of just using furigana like everyone else). Like every other good idea Gamefreak has, they threw it in the trash when they made the next game.
>>343146307
I'm 400 kanji into Remembering the Kanji by Heisig. Like others will tell you, it doesn't teach you any vocab or readings, so you aren't really learning any japanese. But it will teach you how to identify and differentiate the characters, which can make the whole process so much easier to swallow. I see words with kanji I recognize now, and I can easily remember or even guess the meanings.
>>343146443
Why would you learn Korean?
They are only worth for their tv novels, nothing else.
Be at a solid A1/A2 level, or whatever Japanese's equivalent is before trying to learn from games. Even simple language will be a slog if you are new, yes you can learn from that slog but it's less efficient the less you know and is a waste of time compared to standard study if you're completely lost.
>>343146678
I'm gonna retire in jeju and have all the oranges I want
>>343146307
Memorize the radicals. That usually helps. Also, keep in mind Japanese kids learn this over the course of several years, so don't expect to learn them all instantaneously.
>>343146412
But thats all you can read?
>Korean
why
they don't even have proper literature
even slogging through medieval japanese is worth reading the classics
>>343145727
Look at this Japanophilic fucking sycophant.
Japanese history? You mean feudalism that went on for half a millennium after feudalism ended in the rest of the world?
Japanese culture? You mean regressive, traditionalist, collectivist, misogynistic (yes, I'm actually using that word) dogma that idolizes hypocrisy in all aspects of life?
Japanese traditions? What am I, a fucking cave man?
Japanese art? You mean like anime/manga, games, media? Surely you're not referring to the hilarious medieval art that is only novel because of how bad it is compared to the rest of the world's art during the same period?
Listen here, you Hitlerjugend ass nationalist motherfucker, Japan is a SHITHOLE country, with SHITHEEL peple that, despite of its wealth and technology, is one of the most regressive and anti-secular nations in the world, like much of Asia. There is NOTHING to respect them for, other than the resounding success of their entertainment industry. Learning Japanese for the Japanese is the WORST thing you can learn Japanese for.
>>343145905
If I don't know a damn thing about football, can I enjoy this manga?
>>343146821
>thinking there's only one person in the thread other than you

>>343146940
>anti-secular
Japan is extremely secular. Shinto isn't taken seriously by the population, it's observed out of respect for tradition.Nothing else you said is objectively incorrect
>>343146493
loli can't into big word
Still steamed about this one. Especially since I bought the sequel in Japan a week before its localization was announced. I could have saved my money and gotten Kanji Sonomama.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2Yxukv4lSQ
>>343146940
>You mean feudalism that went on for half a millennium
>what is all of goddamn Europe
And yet Japan recognised their need to modernise, which is where China and Korea failed.
>You mean regressive, traditionalist, collectivist, misogynistic
That's not necessarily a bad thing :^)
>>343146940
You don't study something because it agrees with your personal values, you study because it's interesting. A lot of what you just said makes me want to read up some more on Japanese history to understand why it is like that.
>>343146940
>regressive
Current social movements in the West are several times more regressive.
Only real ones that I've sunk a lot of time into were the unlocalized Yakuza games, like Ishin and Kenzan. Great fun, a lot of text dialogue. But Ishin has a 400+ pg guide for EOPs which is cool too.
0 is being localized, and Kiwami seems like a natural fit since it's a remake of the first game. But both were great.
>>343146940
pretty good bait. youll get about 5 bites out of it.
>>343146940

>>343146429
>Speaking of, anyone else notice it says you *can't* speak Japanese on OP's picture?
It's a meme from /a/'s Daily Japanese Threads. I have no idea who the girl is, google reveals nothing.
>>343146940
If you think Japan is bad, wait until you see China.
>>343146273
shhh... you might enrage the hive mind.
>>343144057
Nice op you are nearlyhalf way there. Japanese is one of the easiest languages to learn after Spanish and French. Refer to this guide for advice
>>343147225
>And yet Japan recognised their need to modernise, which is where China and Korea failed.
Yeah, after America knocked on their doors and told them to get with the times.
>>343146979
Yes. It's made for Japanese people who also know nothing about football, but it teaches the rules. Of course, half of it is about characterization over the sport itself anyway, so you could barely know what a touchdown is and still get the basic idea.
>>343146443
>superior people
>literally mutilate children's dicks, eat dogs, and drink poop wine
I like Korea, but come on, let's not pretend it doesn't have its fair share of bad things.
>>343146678
I'm playing Overwatch and there's a shitload of Koreans put in half of my matches. Also, they play Tekken a lot, so if you want to follow a fairly significant Tekken scene (they even have a tv show) you'll need to know some Korean. Their English announcers barely know about the game and are the equivalent of the watchmojo list readers.
>>343146592
What about Oldboy and TaeGukGi?
>>343147441
I believe she's the mascot of some textbook
>>343146940
No, you're absolutely right. I've been studying Japanese for years, I love their games and certain other entertainment. They produce the best porn on Earth. I translate Japanese for a living. But fuck Japanese society.
>>343147120
Japs may not be "religious," but they're superstitious as fuck. I've met 3 or 4 Japanese guys that still think ghosts are real.
>>343147752

>>343150425
All the singers in nobodyknows+ have pretty standard pronunciation of R.
It's like halfway between a D and an L.
Some dialects lean closer to L.
If you can roll your Rs, basically it's something like only rolling it once.
>>343145727
fuck you just for good measure
>>343146810
Not that anon, but is there any way you'd recommend to learn the radicals? I know some kanji but I've barely started really.
>>343151164
I see it as halfway between an L and an R.
>If you can roll your Rs, basically it's something like only rolling it once.
This is a good description too, I hadn't thought of it that way.
My old jap teacher said my Rs were correct.
>>343151361
>I see it as halfway between an L and an R.
Because of the "roll" I would consider it closer to D. The movements to make the sound are similar to both L and D, and R is kind of in another world, but it still manages to sound similar.

Shut up worm
I'll learn for whatever reasons I well please.
>>343151876
Thanks
>>343151164
Ah. I can pull that off fairly well going slowly, but the problem still consists when I don't actively suppress it mentally. I took Spanish for 2 years, but still can't roll Rs, oddly enough.

http://jisho.org/#radical
I use this site too heavily for learning kanji. You can search via radical if you're using physical books and can't just copy pasta into a search bar which is nice

>>343145727
I started learning French because I like Wakfu. I don't really see the issue with learning a language for untranslated media. Everything is going to be better in its original language, without subs anyway. That goes for all languages.
With 21st century learning tools, there's no reason not to learn whatever language you want, for the most superfluous of reasons.
Then you can read all their historical works and shit too. It's win-win, anon.
>>343147869
How did you get to translate japanese for a living? You're fucking lucky :(
I also hate their society.
>>343152542
French is actually useful and not just a cultural language like Japanese, so it's okay to learn it for stupid shit, as you'll end up using it anyway.

>>343153608
Why do people on an English-language imageboard insist on emphasizing the "usefulness" of second languages when we're all speaking the most useful language already?
>>343153608
It's just people who are insecure about the language they're learning so they spam the "useful language" meme to validate their choice.
>>343153716
That happens a lot in shonen manga, things aimed at younger audiences.

Why would you learn Japanese when you can learn Chinese which is the language of the country that has the second highest GDP in the world? Not to mention there are actually tons of people speak it in all around the world. Chinese people are bro as fuck too unlike soulless war crime deniers that are nips.
>>343154115
Where are the Chinese videogames and cartoons? Why would anyone learn Chinese?
#FE's only got Japanese voices.
No better then watching any random anime in helping you learn nippon though.
>>343154081
Doujins are written for adults. Adults generally already know kanji. Doujin writers feel no need to put in furigana so 12 year olds can understand what's going on while they pull on their wee wees.

There are lots of Chinese video games, e.g. Xuan-Yuan Sword, but they're written in Traditional Chinese. There are also many Chinese animated series, but they're often just ripoffs of Japanese or American shows, e.g. Astro Plan, Chinese Gundam 00. Anyway, you can probably get a job easier with Chinese.

I recommend Genki. It eases you in real slow, and has loads of exercises to cement the grammar lessons. It's the only grammar resource I could look at as a beginner and not feel overwhelmed. Some people probably learn faster than me though, and don't need all that.
>>343154443

Multiple playthroughs just to get progressively fewer soul unisons ain't fun, especially when those you get are randomly-allotted. And come to think of it, I don't know if I want to lose the shitty charm of "Lan, it's phone!"

Isn't the Monster Hunter game official, though? I know their PC KoF is. Also, I legitimately enjoyed the 2010 version of Three Kingdoms, but you're right, Mainland China is now too restrictive and most good Chinese things come form Taiwan, and HongKong, so you'll need to know Cantonese anyway.
>>343155598
This. I don't get why anyone would learn Chinese. The few people I know that know it in real life only know it because their parents forced it on them at a young age.

People who fell for the Chinese taking over the world meme really are stupid. The Chinese military didnt even have a fucking joint op up until this year. Their soldiers are very young with very little training, all they care about is numbers. Practically just flexing muscles and of course they are sticking to their tradition of copying by moulding their military after the US.
>>343155854
They are pretty xenophobic in general. Non-whites have it even worse.

She was black,anon.Looks kinda like Pharah from Overwatch, hair and all, just with glasses, If you want a mental image100% american. Has studied in international schools in Japan before
>>343156041
Perfect, in the sense that she was everything I liked in a girl. except she wasn't much of a video games person.
Pure as in she never once uttered a curse word.So she says.That and she has never once been interested in dudes, other than her husbandos.
Pretty much take any generic moe character from some shojo series.

>Write every character you learn 50 times
Please do not do this. Write it two or three times after you think up a trick to remember it, and review it over time to keep it fresh. You will burn out so hard and so fast doing repetition drills like that. You got like 3000 kanji on your plate, you don't need to do 150,000 rote reviews.
Everything else he says is pretty good.

>Needing an excuse to learn a language
I fucking hate Spanish with a passion but I'm in the process of learning it regardless because my family speaks it, and I'm doing quite well with speaking it so far despite it feeling like an absolute chore for me.
Being interested in a language will help you with motivation at the very least but it's not needed.

A rough translation would be "I'm learning Korean right now, though outside of Star Craft and bibinbap (some sort of Korean dish), Korean culture isn't very interesting.

Yeah, I don't write it 50 times like Jeremy suggested. I still memorize them just fine. Besides, with the job I currently I have, I don't even need to write kanji, let alone any kana.
>>343157645
I'd call you out for being a rape ape, but seeing as how women actually are useless outside of sex in the modern world, you're probably onto something.
>>343157673
Seems to be, I went to the channel to actually bookmark the Namasensei playlist and he two videos from the past couple days and the newest one before that was two years ago.
Both the new videos are titled Twitch stream test and based on the description of one it sounds like he's going to be streaming and possibly uploading videos again. If I remember right though he's kind of gone through this cycle a couple times so there's no telling if he'll stick with it this time.
>>343157876
Isn't his channel set to private now? I can't access any of his shit anymore.
>>343145727
>interest yourself in history, actual culture, traditions, mythology, religion, arts, etc... of the country.
there is literally nothing to like or be interested about in Japan except for their shitty cartoons and their girls. I don't really care if they despise me (we won the war, faggot) as long as I know enough nip to ask where the nearest Gaijin lovin slut clubs are.
>>343157929
Visible for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZEA54VJEdE&list=PL9987A659670D60E0&index=2 and everything seems to be there. Maybe you and I are talking about two different channels though.

>>343157932
What's so good about Japanese women?
If you're autistic about it, roughly how long would it take for you to learn Japanese? Enough just to get by and stuff.
When people with sticks up their asses over their language get asked "how long will it take me to learn?", a common answer is
>oh it can take you years and even then you might not fully understand it
but that's such a bullshit answer to me. I fucking learned Spanish well enough to be able to watch fucking telenovas even in just a little over 3 months.
What do you think, /v/ weebs?
>>343158158
They're cute
>>343158158
Nothing, besides the fact that they're cute to look at and never age. The older ones are really nice to you though. They treat you like you're there son and give you all sorts of food and stuff. One of my co-workers was constantly inviting me over to her house to eat dinner with her family.
There is a Final Fantasy style RPG on Steam that make you fight Japanese symbols to learn them. Could be a good base.
>>343158060
Pretty sure that was only posted on /jp/ once
>>343158248
If you go full autism you could be fluent within a year.
If you autisted enough to watch Spanish TV in just a few months, I would give you about half a year for Japanese to reach the same or higher level.
>>343158248
Probably a few years if you stick with it. I went on and off for about a month and then started for real after that, been going for a few months like that now, and I can mostly bumble my way through games as long as I've got something handy to look up kanji I don't know yet.
Also, if you want to learn Japanese, get Kids books in Japanese.
>>343144057

>>343144057
persona 5.
>>343158248
The reason people say years is because experience matters. It helps in solidifying what you've already learned. You can be as autistic as you want, but the moment you lapse you're likely to forget a whole lot. Whereas hearing and speaking for years means you can pretty much retain most of what you've learned so long as you expose yourself to it on a minimal basis at least.
That being said, a year or two is probably all you'll need. Just keep at it though, because again, it's fresh in your brain. I've had a slow climb over a period of 4 years, so there are some words I can't possibly forget, no matter how long I stay way from Japanese.

I wish they did switch to romaji the tryhards. And memeing aside most of them do have trouble with kanji writing off the top of their head. There have been people throughout their history who tried to get rid of it.
Almost ;/

So from what I gather, no one on /v/ actually speaks any asian language correctly?
>>343157723
fucking meme Japanese learners
>im gonna learn Japanese without actually putting any effort into learning it!!
Kanji anon is right. You'll get burned the fuck out drilling everything 50 times. Repetition is needed; it's a new writing system to you, but do it over time.
>>343158914
The Jap guy can't speak Korean.
The English guy can't speak Japanese.
It's like pottery.
>>343158248
>oh it can take you years and even then you might not fully understand it
The thing is, that's sort of true. Even native speakers don't have the greatest working knowledge of nuance, and they've been exposed to their native tongue all their lives. I'm at the point where I have to take a linguistical approach to English grammar just to push beyond my plateau. I can't imagine what it'd be like for someone who learned English later. There's a big difference between having a working knowledge and being able to conceptualize intuitively. However true, though, if people are brandishing that discourage others, that's really dumb.
You clearly have some aptitude for language if you learned that much Spanish in such a short span. Even if you don't have the advantage of learning a language in the same language family, I think you'd be able to pick things up relatively quickly. Certainly less that a year.
Korean
>Simple writing system
>Grammar is fucked
>Tonal as fuck
Japanese
>Basic writing system a little harder than Korean
>A million Kanji to memorize
>Grammar is fucked, but not as fucked as Korean
>Not as tonal but still fucked
Fuck this sucks. On one hand I like Korean movies/dramas, but I like Japanese vidya.
>>343159067
He didn't learn Spanish that fast. I'm tired of people embellishing their language learning skills(YOU CAN LEARN HIRAGANA IN A COUPLE HOURS IF YOU'RE NOT A COMPLETE RETARD).
>>343159197
I thought Korean had no tones and that was reserved for stuff like Chinese and Thai.
>>343159197
How is Japanese grammar fucked?
