/vr/ - Retro Games

To be fair, it's not difficult to learn how to read basic kana just for playing text-lite games. Many of them use direct transliteration of English terms, as well. RPGs and adventure games are another story.

And European languages are infinitely easier to learn if you already speak one of them.

Given the regularity of your posting on /vr/, I'm surprised to learn you have time for a spouse.

If you can find time to shitpost on /vr/, you can find time to polish your moonrunes so you can wing all those retro imports on your backlog.

If OP had a quick kana guide handy, he should be able to understand the menu items. They're mostly terms transliterated from English.

>a few hours to learn kana

Evidently you've never studied Japanese in your life.

It's going to take an average person a minimum of two or three weeks to remember the entire kana. Even though Japanese is phonemic, some characters do change pronunciation based on their position in a word, and then you have exceptions like wa versus ha, and rendering differences between standard computer fonts and video game fonts. You're not just memorizing a set of characters, you're also memorizing all the little intricacies involved in their usage.
