Anon達, I need some advice.

Last week I found a used copy of the Japanese version of Persona 5 Royal going for around 1/3 of retail price. My Japanese is barely JLPT 4 but I thought, hey, why not, I already played the base game so I know pretty much how the story goes, all the systems, etc. The thing is, I would like to learn some stuff out of the game, but jesus fucking christ I basically took an hour to finish the prologue alone due to how many new words were in it.

It's not like the game is my only source of learning, so I think one option would be skipping the dialogue while reading it somewhat for things I already know and occasionally picking some new things, or instead going full autismo and stopping for every sentence where something new shows up.

It's also a game that I really enjoy playing, so I think it both adds to my motivation to learn in order to understand it and to my impatience when I have to stop every 3 minutes to check a dictionary.

So what sounds better in your experience? Play the game along with other studies for the immersion alone or sit through mining every single thing?
