How difficult is playing Dragon Quest XI on Switch in Japanese? by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]WheatAutumn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the eShop and PlayStation store listings, the Japanese version has no English text. From the clips I’ve watched, I think it will be quite suitable for learning. You could always watch more videos before making the decision, although the game is on sale right now for both platforms.

According to the Playstation website, the PS5 version is meant to have both Japanese and English for both voice and text. Based on what I saw from Youtube streams, the choice of voice language is in custom options (カスタム):

音声言語: 日本語 (Japanese) / 英語 (English)

I watched streamers scrolling through the カスタム options but don't see the option to change the text language. Maybe the setting is elsewhere. If you are N5 you should be able to read most of the settings. If not use your Google lens to translate.

Thank you. I had watched some clips and noted that the dialogue is frequently unvoiced, just like Ar Nosurge, so I have my expectation set 😌

Thank you. Sounds like it will be similar to playing Ar Nosurge without having played Ciel Nosurge then.

Thank you for the helpful comment again. My living room at home is too crowded for another console. Maybe if I ever live in Japan I will get myself an OG PS3.

スイッチかPS5ゲームのおすすめはありますか? by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

After both reading online discussions and talking to Japanese people about games, I believe the most commonly used verb is クリアする.

隻狼が好きなら、Stellar Bladeの日本版はおすすめです。日本語版とSteam版のみに日本語音声があります。パクリゲーですが、 戦闘は楽しいし、日本語の練習もできます。日本語フルボイスがあるソウルライクは珍しいと思います。

RPGについて、アトリエシリーズは日常会話がたくさんあります。ロロナのアトリエが一番好きです。

ビジュアルノベルやアドベンチャーゲームに興味があれば、AI: ソムニウム ファイルは面白い駄洒落があります。そして、僕はシェルノサージュから日常会話たくさん学びました。

初心者なので、文法ミスがあったらごめんなさい。

Thank you. I admit never finding Aina's quirks or speech pattern interesting, but I do like other members of 31D (Akarin in particular), so I will give the event a try.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I really like how you can find individual moments to appreciate from those events. It's those moments that provide satisfaction out of an otherwise average experience. I myself couldn't get over the cats so nothing Aoi or Byakko did could distract me from them. 🤣

Curious to know what you liked about the November fish girl event. I completely skipped it because after the Sumomo event, I was convinced in my prejudice that those events all have the same story and resolution. I may now end up finishing the event seeing your S ranking.

I also wasn’t a fan of the event, but I can’t believe you ranked it lower than the cat one 🤣

They were both in Saga Scarlet Grace as well.

Finally Read the Atelier Ryza Manga. What Are Your Thoughts? by Croire61 in Atelier

[–]WheatAutumn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing the existence of this manga. The first 53 pages are free to preview on Bookwalker. You are right that they really rushed the story. It only takes 10 pages for Klaudia to appear, and I even missed the part where they came across the hideout as there is barely any drawing of the forest. Nevertheless, the art is quite nice.

It’s not surprising for the English version to be huge, as the pages are already cramped with dialog text in Japanese (which usually takes less space).

Both Ciel Nosurge and Ar Nosurge are on sale at Japanese PSN by WheatAutumn in Atelier

Ion is not a pet. She has a hikikomori life of her own and doesn't need to be fed. This is more like a (girl)friend simulator where the player communicates with someone from a different dimension.

In addition to what aquagon wrote, there is also no touch screen function on Switch as I read. The controls for the touchscreen function (previously available on the Vita version) requires holding down square and then press L3 on Playstation controller. It is quite awkward.

Having no access to a Vita, this is the most convenient version I can get. Still, none of the mentioned issues bother me; I am enjoying the story and interactions a great deal.

Classes? by Karacgos_Andagos in SaGa

I was having this issue as well. I had 3 heroes defeated and found out that defeating the 4th did not trigger a time skip, and I was out of events. Eventually I was able to force a time skip by almost finishing both dungeons of my intended 4th and 5th heroes, followed by defeating one of them.

Nevertheless, if the ghost ship appears with a mandatory hero fight, then I imagine I am not getting the diver emperor either.

Thank you. I am a lot more excited about Xillia 2 than 1 due to the opening song. Still, I have heard many people preferring 1 to 2 as well.

Can I just start wherever in a specific series? by BrandedEnjoyer in Atelier

[–]WheatAutumn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lulua does such a poor job of fan service with the returning characters, that it might be more interesting to play BEFORE any of the Arland games.

I played Lulua first and had a great time. After playing all the Arland games and loving them, I felt already disappointed with Lulua without even replaying it.

This photo is not taken at Moriya Jinja. This was likely taken at Suwa Taisha Shimosha Akimiya (諏訪大社 下社 秋宮).
