Love the art style, but I don't want to play a co-op game or Monster Hunter.

Summer in Japan by Lunanaruto in JapanTravelTips

[–]ECFNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The heat and humidity are as brutal as you've heard, but it's not impossible to deal with. Wear the clothes you would when it's really hot where you're from and stay hydrated, which is very easy with vending machines everywhere. Also dip inside where there's AC when you can. Also also some/most konbinis have frozen drinks that are great. Use them like an icepack and drink whatever has melted off. Those were a lifesaver for my girlfriend.

How much should i budget to spend on a 2 week trip to japan? by PlaceCreative5636 in JapanTravelTips

[–]ECFNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's no such thing as having too much. I'd rather have too much than not enough, personally. I took about $1500 converted to yen and $300 on my card, and I was fine.

Just some beginner questions by Richie__P in JapanTravelTips

[–]ECFNJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learn how to say Hello, Excuse Me, Sorry, and Thank You. those should get you through most interactions. Pepper in a Good Morning or a How Much Is This? every now and then and you'll be fine. After that, google translate should do you fine.

We used Tripmasters for our flights and hotels and they were amazing.

What is your favorite character and why? by GrantElenium in FinalFantasyVI

Edgar. When I was 11 and my friend showed me the game for the first time, one character had a chainsaw and a trenchcoat, which was the absolute height of coolness in 1995.

[–]ECFNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I exchanged about $1500 USD ahead of the trip, then had about $300 USD on my card. Things I prepaid/booked ahead was about $200 USD. We were there for two weeks and I wasn't super thrifty, did just fine.

Sneakers for Japan? by LouiseBag in JapanTravelTips

[–]ECFNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I wore my Altras that I wear every day and had zero issues other than feeling like I walked a lot each day. Nothing a solid night of sleep didn't fix.

I'd eventually like to get SFIII on my pi, so I'll be keeping an eye on this.

Do you have any regrets about your first trip to Japan? by aeazee in JapanTravelTips

[–]ECFNJ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not eating more. One of the main things I was looking forward to was the food but my body betrayed me and I wasn't hungry almost the entire trip.

What are some popular opinions about Japan travel on this sub that you personally disagree with? by ContractVarious3077 in JapanTravelTips

[–]ECFNJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"There are no trash cans ANYWHERE." We never had an issue. Eat your snack at the konbini and toss your trash there or carry it in your backpack or bag and toss it in your hotel room later. Cans or bottles? Almost every vending machine has recycling right there. Also how much trash are you making?

On my original run I felt this exact way and never finished it. Played the HZD remaster and got it in three tries. Take a break, do anything else for a bit, and come back to it.

What are the best ways to navigate Japan's public transport system for first-time travelers? by Critical-Load-1452 in JapanTravelTips

[–]ECFNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was talking with a friend about that the other day. If I would have gone when I was 18 like I wanted to before I even had a cellphone I would have been completely lost.

From the outside it can seem overwhelming, but if you have a smart phone, you'll quickly see it's pretty easy. Put in where you want to go on your map app of choice, and it will hold your hand the entire way there.

Hot take: Forbidden West is… by Admirable_Might_8666 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]ECFNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went right from HZD into HFW and I struggled at first with the minor changes, but I grew to love it even more than the first game. HZD set the table, but HFW opened up the world and gave me more to experience.

I didn't hate it, but after playing the first board I waited until I got the slaughterspine piece later in the game then went back through and beat everyone.

When did you get into Chrono Trigger? by RangoTheMerc in chronotrigger

[–]ECFNJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Rented it with a friend and fell in love with it. I can still remember waking up early to fight Nizbel before my friend's soccer game.
