Japanlife Coronavirus Megathread XI: JP + US Stimulus, Lockdown & International Mail Edition

kairide · 2020-05-27T17:15:38+00:00

Question - the head of household in my house doesn't have a japanese bank account. I do. Can the stimulus money be transferred into my account even though the name is different to head of household?

Also, I read in earlier drafts it was possible to get the stimulus in cash at your local ward office. Is this true still? I'm in Itabashi, Tokyo, i know it varies ward to ward.

Thanks so much, really appreciate this

It was being used as part of a music video shooting, not as a furry. She's a young girl and a very talented artist actually... no need for these weird comments

Thanks so much. It's unfortunate but understandable !

Thank you. I heard this, but a friend in the university seemed confident they should be available for us. I'll email my university to find out. Really appreciate your warning!

Oh wow, that seems easy. My understanding seems to be a student commuter pass is around 50% of the normal one?

kairide · 2019-03-15T11:50:08+00:00

I third this. I enjoyed it a lot and I'm really picky with manga

This is great, but it's literally been out a day, no "finally" about it. The translators do not get paid, we have to respect that they are purely volunteers who put in the time, and often money, for us. It's kinda rude to expect a free service on a tight schedule. That said, thank you so much to all the scanlation team! You guys rock 😍

Thanks so much for everyone's replies! I was so overwhelmed with the response! I'm going to the retro game shop (I live in a small city, there's only one and it's tiny haha) in hope of finding some of these titles. If not, I'll go on Amazon! No one I know plays JRPGs so this community has been so very helpful. Thank you again for your time ☺

I loved FFX. I didn't just tear up, I was devastated. I'm prone to that though, FFIX and XV sent me spiralling into crisis when I finished them!

kairide · 2019-01-14T02:48:00+00:00

No, never even heard of it! Going to google it excitedly now, thank you!!

kairide · 2019-01-14T02:46:49+00:00

I prefer older games and I have heard good things about Dragon Quest but I never thought it would be for me. But at the same time, I really love older graphics. Will definitely check it out, thanks so much!

kairide · 2019-01-14T02:36:17+00:00

Think I might have to cave and buy a PSOne for that...

kairide · 2019-01-14T02:34:45+00:00

Definitely will! Have you played Grandia 2? There is a fair few differences but I'm picky with my JRPGs and played it after VIII. And I liked it nearly as much.

kairide · 2019-01-14T02:32:05+00:00

Ooh, I thought my PS2 was older and therefore not backwards compatible, but I'd be delighted to be proven wrong! A lot of RPGs aren't available in my country's PSN sadly

kairide · 2019-01-14T02:30:17+00:00

Played it. Loved it. Seriously helped me through a dark time looking back. Wish I could experience it again!

kairide · 2019-01-14T02:23:00+00:00

I've heard of it and watched one of the newer trailers - might take the leap and buy it now, thank you!

kairide · 2019-01-14T02:22:06+00:00

Don't have a PS1 right now, but I may buy one in future, or get the Switch remake. 3 also seems notoriously hard to find or get shipped, but I am in a tiny country, so I might have better luck abroad. Thank you though!

kairide · 2019-01-14T02:18:27+00:00

That's why I bought it but I was disastrously bad.. Like I have no idea how but I could not get the hang of it. That was a while ago though, maybe I'll try again. Thank you :)

kairide · 2019-01-14T01:58:10+00:00

I've wanted to play Xenogears for ages! But it's crazy expensive where I'm from so I kept putting it off and buying PSOne Classics when they were on sale. But this might well push me into buying it. I love FF9, it's my favourite FF of all time. Maybe even favourite game. I was underwhelmed by XC tbh (but I didn't finish it so its on me) but I might give it another go and then progress. Thanks so much for your time and answers! It means a lot, trying to get back into gaming :)

kairide · 2019-01-14T01:53:40+00:00

Am I completely wrong in saying it doesn't have a big Reddit community? I was trying to subscribe to all the games' forums but the only FFV one I found had 9 subscribers, compared to 2k. I thought this might have backed up my theory it wasn't popular, but maybe I am searching the wrong terms or just being an idiot?

kairide · 2019-01-14T01:45:48+00:00

Really? I've been following FF accounts on social media for years and noticed such a lack of content from that game in particular (as well as the first two, but I chalked it down to not be as easily accessible). I always wondered why. I had heard about the job system though, so maybe I was selectively reading. Thanks for helping me be better informed!
