Title: Japanese games
Post by: jhib00 on Apr. 03, 2006, 06:40:49 PM

Hi, I'm new to the forum. It seems that many people enjoyed playing Jap games. I'd like to introduce two action RPGs. They are freewares i.e. free to download.

here are the home pages for the game:

Brave Gear ~ Tribute ~

Ruinas

enjoy ^_^

Cool! Thanks :) Might check them out if I have time~

On another side of Japanese games... Here's something you might find interesting!

 Free translated mini-visual stories [it was a festival, you can read about it on that page]

I've only tried, kira -snowdrop- ... very interesting!

And just in case you didn't know about this site,
http://romhacking.deadbeat-inc.com/

It's a decent site with bunches of translated game links or information...

Isn't it bad enough to play Falcom games in Japanese? Time to play some English titles! ;)

LOL, never viewed that way before. It is quite frustrating to play games with no understanding of the dialogue.

You'd be surprised with how many don't see it that way and prefer for example that Japanese dubbing remain in tact... Believe me... I was once asked by a Japanophile to actually, get this, expend energy to take Japanese voice samples from the PS2 version, and hack them into the PC version so it could play them where appropiate... I don't mind listening to some cute sounding Japanese chick singing let's say, in rare cases, but I mean, I couldn't get over his request... You want me to actually put Japanese voice samples in, and you don't understand Japanese, but you still actually want me to waste time doing that for you? You want me to put gibberish sounds into it? For what? Your amusement??? Of all the requests that I've ever gotten, that's at the top of the list for utter shear douche-baggery. Heh.

Take it easy there, you're trying to make it sound crazy (which it is), but people might disagree with you! (You know what I'm talking about.) ;)
