Learn Japanese Rpg Kanji Symbols

You two are both talking about the worst RPG's I have ever played. Regardless of their relation to japanese, these games should be banned.

They are that poor. You'll learn hiragana and katakana better with 'remembering the kana' and you can study words faster and more efficiently with spaced repetition software. Download The Broadview Anthology Of Expository Prose Ebookers. Play a game because you want to, not because you think it will help you with your studies, cos in both of these cases, it probably won't. You will eventually put of playing it because it is so stupid. Get into the Final Fantasy series like some of the guys on the board are doing here or play Zelda for the DS and study like you got a pair!! I tried that Knuckes game.it was sooooo sloooooow.

After a couple battles I couldn't take it and stopped. The graphics were old fashioned, I don't know why people like that. I guess it's an excuse for poor quality. I can't say anything about plot, since I didn't get far. SFA.I played this game to. I didn't like the plot or graphics, but the slime battles were very effective for me.

Kanji alive is a resource for learning kanji, dedicated to helping you open the door to the fascinating characters that form the written Japanese language.

I finished learning all the kanji meanings this way, in a very short time. It's not a good game, but it was much better than dry slow flashcards. The member ship was different when I signed up, $2/month.

So that wasn't a problem then. Playing games IN Japanese is good. But it doesn't directly teach you anything, it's up to you to look up words and remember them. LOL, I didn't expect you guys to be so hard on this game! Its true that it is very slow (I wish you could speed the battles up), but I really do think its more fun than just sitting around with flashcards for hours on end.

I don't think the graphics are an 'excuse for poor quality'. But rather, I think its about what you would expect from a lone individual making a game in his basement on zero budget and expecting no money for it. I can't play games like FF 6 or Zelda in Japanese because I have very little grasp on the vocab and grammar. Not understanding the details of the plot would just be too frustrating for me.

Furthermore, aside from the slowness of the game, Knuckles basically IS repetition flashcard software. The battles occur quite frequently. You walk around for just a couple econds and bam! I just think its kind of neat to have a fairly interesting plot as an incentive to keep you going for a while.

The dialogue, imo, is actually better than that of the majority of 8 or 16 bit rpg games that existed back in the day. Old thread but here I am, the friend Jarvik7 mentioned. I posted about the game in this thread: And a direct link to it on my site: Someone complained about not liking the tile set. You can shrink it to text-size by removing one line from a text file. There is ample documentation on this sort of thing on the official NetHack page. Using textmode will not work as the dungeons will be switched to kana which makes it impossible to see what's what. HOWEVER, someone could make a gfx tileset that looks just like the text set if they wanted it to look like that.

HOWEVER, someone could make a gfx tileset that looks just like the text set if they wanted it to look like that. Actually, I figured out how to use text mode.

I use Microsoft's AppLocale application to run it as a Japanese application. Normally this would make the dungeons in kana, but by commenting out the line: OPTIONS=IBMGraphics in defaults.nh I was able to have both the kanji display correctly, and the dungeon work in ASCII. Too bad ADOM is closed source. I would pay big big money for a Japanese learning environment integrated into that. I tried slimeforest but it is very oldskool, the problem is that the gap to normal games is rather large. Does anyone know of decent pc games with furigan over the kanji? Those 'ecchi visual novels' like kanon, da capo, x-change and some games without the 'H' like ever 17 that are very nice to play and have a lot of text, so if there a few titles out there that use furigana that would be a reason for me to buy it.

One of of the many reasons i want to learn japanese is to play such games, what beter way then to learn japanese by playing them? The problem is everything i know of is translated or for the moment way over mine head, furigana would lower the gap considerable. I was going to pull out KiCL again when I read on their web site that a Heisig keyword file was available. Sadly, their definition of 'available' seems to be 'formerly available via a broken link on a much-neglected forum'. Does anyone have this Heisig keyword file, or know of a reliable place to get it (i.e. You just downloaded it yesterday, not two years ago, and you know it's there)?

I don't see inputting 865 keywords and kanji myself, and I don't know how to make the spreadsheet I have into a text file readable by that program. I know its not a RPG but I changed the language in the Sims2 to Japanese and its really fun. They use a lot of Kanji, but if you played it before and experiment its not that hard to understand.

When you like that type of game you can learn all the basics needed in everyday life. Although you probably cant install the language during installation process the language can still be changed in the registry easy and harmless. Here is an instruction: However, the numbers indicated there didnt work with my version Japanese was 'e' instead of 15, which I discovered after changing the numbers several times. Make sure to change the language in the Expansion folders, too. Elsawin Installation Manual.
