Right now I'm playing Chrono Trigger in French. It's kinda fun. It's almost like the reason Crono doesn't speak is because he doesn't know what anyone's saying.
So, have you ever played a game in a language you don't understand?
Ever play any games in a language you don't understand?

I have but it was mostly fighting games where it is basically guessing what button does what and then rolling with it. RPGs are another story. They want you to go someplace and do something and that is a guessing game too big for me to attempt. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone specific to advance the story even though you know what to do. You are quite brave to attempt an RPG in a language you don't understand...even though you know what to do >.>
I'm trying to learn a bit of French, and I thought, "Well why not? It might help a bit."
Je suis Kentarou! Je vais rugir! Rawrrrr
Considering the majority of games I've owned are Japanese imports, yes-- though over the past 10 years or so I'm starting to really be able to read dialogue in, say, an RPG.
Hearing people speak in Japanese is tougher to decipher because I have auditory processing disorder.
Xenogears is the tragic story of how your whole life can take a crappy turn, just because you happened to see a lady in a wedding dress before her wedding.

It's not something I've ever tried, nor something I plan to do. As much as I'd love to learn another language, I play games for the story for the most part and not being able to understand what is going on would simply irritate me to no end. I have watched a couple of foreign movies without subtitles, though.
I'm going to play Assassin's Creed in Italian in preparation for my holiday to Italy.
>>> I beat Namco x Capcom like 10 times..
I was playing Tales of Rebirth too but the PS2 died..
>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..
Just a few, but I never get very far I'm afraid. Shin Megami Tensei and a Sailor Mooon RPG are ones I fondly remember. I actually own a Japanese copy of a few games as well, but due to them all being on region locked systems, I can't really play them. I remember playing the Chinese pirated version of Capcom Vs. SNK before it saw release in the U.S.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I have not, and I imagine it would drive me nuts if I tried to. I've tried to read one or two foreign books before in conjunction with whatever language course I was taking at the time-- I'd have the book in one hand, and a translation guide in the other-- and yeah, that only ever lasted about two minutes tops.
Tried to cause it was River City Ransom 2 but couldn't get past a very early part of the game
I haven't and I wouldn't.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!

That's okay! =)Wanna send me the script, I can translate for you
I tried playing one of the old Dragon Quest games in Japanese but as you can imagine that got old pretty quick
No, not really. I imagine if the game were text heavy, like RPGs, I wouldn't get very far, because I'd have difficulty trying to figure out what was being said. Now, if it were a fighting game, I wouldn't mind it so much. And I'm sure playing Chrono Trigger in French would be pretty easy for you, since you already finished the game in English, haven't you Kentarou?
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
