掲示板 Forums - Games for Japanese study?

I am just wondering, are there any games which helps to study Japanese? I know that getting a Japanese language Role Playing Game helps and that you would have to translate yourself to understand the story. Any games on iO5 or Android?

if only Renshuu has an RPG game...... xD

I found some info about it but it doesn't look like you can get it though. http://www.tbns.net/knuckles/ Another game I can think of is Slime Forest.

Yeah it does look abandoned. Quite amusing to see Knuckles teach Japanese ^.^

I remember Erin! I watched quite a bit of it. Think theres 30 episodes in total. I remember trying the RPG but didn't do much in it. The videos has subtitles which are useful.

Well, I found the list of websites that I got! But I feel like most of the game-style things that I *swear* were on the list actually aren't there - there's only 3 that I could even call 'games' at all: The エリンが挑戦！日本語ができます website that I listed earlier, with quizzes and an RPG-style game there's also a website for Japanese used in manga and anime - http://anime-manga.jp that has games and quizzes (as well as original archetypical manga) and the すしテスト https://momo.jpf.go.jp/sushi which is more a test than a game (it's on Japanese in general I think, not specifically on sushi, but depending on how well you do you get sushi-ranked). But maybe they'll be interesting? Besides the class I took I haven't really looked at any of these, but try them out?

ok for some reason when I type the link the site is adding another http:// to the front of the url - either just delete that or google search 'sushi test' and it'll come up! :-[

You must have been here for a long time ~ xD[/quote] Don't remind her. :p I have a DSi, but I can't afford to buy games. However, I do have Chrono Trigger. The thing is, I switched it over to English as soon as I realised I could. There was just too much kanji in Japanese! :o Not that there is any time to play games, but you know, 10 minutes in the toilet with nothing else to do... gotta study somehow... Good luck to whoever goes the route of improving their reading through games and manga, though. I guess you gotta do something, and it's all practice. :)

I was looking through some stats and there are some people with more genki points then mysticfive and I thought she had the most! ~ Was aiming to topple mysticfive somehow. hehe Problem with playing rpg games is that you become impatient translating and just go for English version.....

I've been playing Everquest off and on with these two Taiwanese brothers for like, 11 years or something. When they started, they couldn't really understand English at all. Now, they are pretty decent I guess. No studying grammar or vocab, just struggling to read quest text written in some off-the-wall psuedo-medieval language. And of course communicating with the mostly English-speaking population. Everquest doesn't have an easy way to switch the language, either, so there's really no "cheating." I dunno anything about Japanese MMOs but I thought Final Fantasy had a Japanese version, although that's kind of dated now I guess. I'm sure with the amount of video game オタク that there are in Japan, there's gotta be some decent MMOs. The best part about it would be that you could tell everyone, "Don't bother me, I've got to study Japanese now" while you go level up your character...[/quote] Good point, it was something I considered before and mmorpgs is a good way for learning. I played 2 and I always find it amazing that foreigners were able to use english and communicate, although sometimes it can be broken but practise makes perfect sense xD Unfortunately, Im not sure whats a good mmorpg to play with japanese players. Problem is, playing those game can get addictive and you would spend less time on actually studying.
