>>714774090 (OP)
didn't know this version of the game existed

>>714774090 (OP)
>Try to play a game in pure Jap
>Even some of the baby-tier games lack furigana
I'm an unlovable weebcel who will never be a true nihongonese

>>714774090 (OP)
I love Holy Sword Legend too.

>>714776153

>>714776337
>dark dawn
holy shit it's been ages since I've seen this game

>>714774090 (OP)
Can you be japanese not from Japan?

>>714776514
i wonder how that one (1) (singular) golden sun barafag artist is doing

>>714774090 (OP)
I am Brasileiro form Brasil and play Japanese games only

>>714776153
just get a 3ds, most baby ds/3ds games have furigana
even smt4 does
not apocalypse tho

>>714776153
Better yet, read a fucking book where you'll make actual gains and read a substantial amount of text instead of poking away at games that drip feed one sentence at a time every once in a while.
They make easy LNs aimed at younger readers. That doesn't mean that they're aimed at JSLs - but it does mean at the very least you'll have full Furry Ghana and generally simpler subject matter.

>>714777149
yeah I think this is the way to do it, just gotta dive in and not give up

>>714777149
LNs are fucking awful
at least JRPGs and visual novels have mostly voiced dialogue

>>714777513
>"LNs are fucking awful!"
t.guy who can't survive half a LN page before dying of exhaustion or scrambling for the dictionary
Or to be more brief: t.guy who can't read

>>714777149
>mask + glasses on head
peak combo
cute!

>>714776520
That's what the traitor regiment in US feel like when they're at war with their own homeland in ww2.

>>714777614
出来ますけど。一応
ライトノベルなんて「ノベル」と呼ぶ資格すら無いんですよ
それだけではなくてさ。ライトノベルの日本語基準が低すぎてあのゴミを読んで学ぶことなんかない。せめてエロゲーなら抜けるしさ。普通のゲームなら楽しむこともできる。アニメ鑑賞ならまぁ例によっていいものも見えるし。

>>714774090 (OP)
why not play games in english and learn english? I hope you have your eiken 1-kyuu

Thankfully we're not talking about native Japanese speakers who need 檸檬, 蜘蛛の糸, and 舞姫 shoved down their throats, but instead JSLs who just need to read ANYTHING in large amounts that they can comprehend. LNs are the perfect ground for this since it is mostly slop, but lots and lots of it. Quantity. Exactly what 2nd language learners need. Quality can come later.

Konnichiwa,

I have level N5 Japanese, I want to become N4 next year! I love Japan!

Ja ne

Favorite game?

>>714774090 (OP)
what's the name of the game?
I played a game similar to that on Gameboy Color. it was a non-colored version, though.
I got stuck at some point and could never finish it.

>>714777614
bitch I read harry pottere 1 in jap. I remember jack shit. all I remember learning is 斯くも

>>714780232
final fantasy adventure, a phone port

>>714776153
you don't need furigana.
>OCR exists
>texthooking exists
>search by parts exists

>>714782216
thanks, that was it.
I played it as a kid and at some point I just didn't know how to continue the story.
I need to finish it some time just to put my mind at ease.

>>714776337
> Can use the stylus to get furigana on words.

Okay that's actually pretty cool.

>>714778046
>always thought this was a real japanese person
>started learning japanese 6 months ago
>now realise that this is just an english guy pretending to be a japanese person with bad english due to the ルヌsカエウ title (translates to runuskaeu and there is a latin alphabet s in there for no reason) and the anonimussu username

how do I study for the N2 and N1. I read and recognize the expressions, but I can't use them for shit
>ガムやら虫やら、この子はポケットにいろんなことが入っている
>雨天につき、この行事は中止になります (why the fuck even use that when 雨天のため exists)
>ジムに入るにつけ、自宅に帰りたくなる (why the fuck would I use this when 度に exists)
why the fuck use this shit

>>714774090 (OP)
I am from hell and am hell and play hell games.

Complaining about it will get you nowhere. Best to just accept that Japanese has a metric fuck ton of largely interchangeable grammatical constructs and read more to find examples that will hopefully stick in your memory.

>>714789132
in english when you have more than one way to say something, there's usually an explanation that helps you choose
>e.g be able to, can, be allowed to
>must vs need vs have to
in japanese there's nothing

>>714777914
you know you can have LLMs fix up your retard gibberish before posting, right?

I just hate long strings of particles that don't together appear often in a sequence. Particles often have multiple functions, like と is used for quoting and it's also used for inclusion ("and") with something, so when you look at its combination with other particles, you have to cycle through permutations in your head until it makes sense.

Also the endless number of repeating onomatopoeia words (がらがら, びしびし, etc.) and ■っ■り words like こっそり, ぴったり, etc. Especially when they have multiple meanings.

>>714788220
Try Shin Kanzen Master's grammar books. Make a list of similar functions across each book (they teach you similar grammar together in each chapter and have you distinguish between them and test you on them) and REALLY READ the Japanese explanations. Sometimes you may read it over and over and over again and not understand how it differs to the other ones in the chapter. But just keep bruteforcing it and read the fine print and you'll start to pick up on the nuance. Search for real life examples on Twitter to get a feeling for how it's used in everyday conversation while acknowledging that even Japanese people may make mistakes and that some grammar is actually interchangeable. But it'll help you with stuff like
>犬が死んだから、悲しい。
>犬が死んで、悲しい。
>犬が死んだので、悲しい。
That easier books like Minna no Nihongo don't touch on.

>>714793226
>"and"
oh that one's quite a doozy
かつ, および, conjunctive form (and て/で), ならびに, そして, また, それに, 剰え, さらに, なお, なおかつ, and the list goes on
and don't get me started with "on"

>>714794218
no. the only way to learn is to get one of those grammar handbooks for natives, or a 類義語辞典 and read in jap. the handbook of japanese grammar patterns and the dojg can help, but the stuff mentioned earlier explains it better. now if only those explanations were avialable in english.......
>and don't get me started with "on"
meant "or"
anyway, currently playing through wish room: tenshi no kioku

Learn

>>714776153
furigana doesn't help that much when you don't know the word anyway, for me at least
luckily I've got a decent feeling for readings of stuff by now
unluckily I still have a long way to go and my reading speed is still that of a first-grader with my hearing comprehension speed being that of a retard

>>714779960
Based and 蒼神縁起pilled. That game is like if someone crammed old-school RPG jank, peak ZUN vibes, and enough obscure kanji to make JLPT N1 cry, all into a glorious doujin hellscape. I still don’t know what half the items do but I keep coming back anyway.

>>714774090 (OP)
If you are a jap from japland and play jap games when why are you playing a game written in Chinese?

>>714800217
15 years ago I played the fan TL so replaying it in Japanese most of it was muscle memory lol

>>714802623
>muscle memory
that means you were whitenoising
you didn't beat the game

>>714774090 (OP)
Sugoi.

>>714774090 (OP)
I can read it, I think I'm going to make it brothers
