What Japanese games that were never brought over to the West does /vr/ recommend? I'm currently studying the language and feel comfortable enough to finally get around to playing some.

Can't recommend Mizzurna Falls enough, off the charts amazing game, the script has been translated but no one knows when it's gonna get inserted since the hacker is a hack who juggles multiple projects at once with zero communication.

If you want something solid to play and practice your Jp, look no further.

I remember being intrigued by the Capcom Japan only RPG on Dreamcast called El Derado Gate. It was on SEVEN GD-Roms and was released over the course of a year with each disc being it's own chapter.

Each chapter was 1-2 hours or so of game play and story. So roughly 10-14 hours of game play total.

Moral of this story? There is a reason that vr games that didn't make it out of glorious Japan never made it out...They usually suck.

there was a project once that seemed to be pretty promising and making regular progress and updates, but after a while it just went completely silent.

When you said "I'm currently studying the language", I thought you already knew some basic stuff. The vocabulary in games is so limited that sometimes you can infer a complete sentence just from the first kanji, because those phrases are repeated across various works.

Like "doushite koko ni" or "zen zen shiranai".

Furigana is made exactly so that people can read and eventually memorize Kanji or even recognize some of the bullshit hard ones.

your screenshot is perfectly legible so it's a bad example, but I know what you mean. It's real bad on the GB/GBC. If you already know the kanji you can recognize it with little to no trouble just by the shape and context, but if you run into one you don't know it's very difficult look it up since it's missing most of the strokes.

Here's a transcription of the text in the screenshot in case you can't figure out some of the highly mangled characters.

But that's too slow it completely kills flow and puts you off from playing when you have to stop and check every other word. Besides I can't stand VNs and I'm not as interested in generic JRPGs anymore so there's very little incentive to practice in the first place.

I'm the guy who posted the screenshot, like I said it's perfectly readable IF you're familiar with the characters already. Like >>4113309 said, they're all common kanji and vocab so recognizing them isn't a problem if you already know how to read those words and characters, but if you're using it as a learning aid I have no idea how you're supposed to reverse engineer some of those squished blobs. Many of the strokes and entire radicals get eliminated or mangled. Look at 状態

It's actually an interesting phenomenon, I think it's a related mental process to how English speakers can read English words even if the order of the characters is randomized, as long as the first and last characters are correct and the number of characters stays the same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typoglycemia

Imagine you were trying to learn English and weren't familiar with the words already. Trying to figure out what the words in the scrambled passage were would be a nightmare, but a native speaker can read it almost as fast as the regular passage.

>>4113313
you should be able to read the screenshot I posted with just a couple months of study. I played through the whole game at around 3 months of study without any trouble. Of course I was consulting dictionaries and references along the way for unfamiliar vocab or grammar, but if you feel totally lost looking at it and have been studying for a length of time there's a deficiency in your studies somewhere. It's intended for a small child to be able to read and understand after all.

The main problem is that the borders blend together.
Your best bet is not to go by radical decomposition but context. You see ねむり・マヒ・こんらん and take a wild guess that it's talking about conditions. Then you look up the translations for condition and realize that the 状 character seems correct and use that to narrow down the search even further.

Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. I was just trying to give an indication about the level of the passage because that one guy implied it was impossible for non-native speakers to read when it's really not. I wasn't insinuating anyone was stupid, just that it doesn't take long to get to a level to understand the text in that screenshot, and if someone has been studying for months but still has trouble they're not studying as effectively as they could be. There's a weakness somewhere that should be rectified, in kanji study, or grammar, or whatever.

I meant it to be encouraging more than anything I guess I just put it the wrong way.

Vocab is the worst, grammar is confusing but it's only bad for expressions that group bunch of unrelated words which after all are just vocab too. I mean most of the grammar nuance in DoJG is really complex but it's not entirely necessary to understand a simple rpg plot by context.

I feel like you need to be relatively young to enjoy jrpg stories. Learning Japanese takes so fucking long that the sad truth is by the time you're finally decent at the language you'll have grown out of your anime and weeb hobbies. At least that's what happened to me.

>Langrisser 5
A sequel of Langrisser 4, so go play 4 first if you plan to play it.

Since you mention Langrisser, Why not try the original Growlanser? PSX or PSP, take your pick, neither is translated, which is quite sad for me, as the next Growlanser games until 5 was translated, and 6 was not. Whats worst is that 6 is the sequel of 5.

I've been thinking about learning Japanese for a while but I'm a bit scared off since the language is so different grammar-wise?
I already know hiragana and katakana from my weeb days and I have a small vocabulary of stuff I recognize but not enough to play games.

Is it really worth learning the language to read/play untranslated stuff? It seems like a lot of work and I'm not sure I can keep up since I'm not very good at languages in general.

I can't stomach VNs, bro. I tried pirating some of the shit on Steam and I couldn't stomach them at a fast reading level, I don't even wanna imagine having to slog through with my elementary level japanese. At least RPGs break the reading with some battles and grinding.
