You don't understand how tempted I am now to just buy it and write and translate any kanji I don't know into my Note.

Edit: Maybe replay cutscenes using the PS4 record function

no can do, native PS4 recording is disabled during cutscenes.

Download a kanji drawing app and write the kanji but you need to know the number of strokes for some apps. Then copy paste online to see translation. ocr is just cumbersome.

Have to wait until the 18th-20th :( unless amazon.jp somehow uses magic and delivers before their estimated date.
At least Yakuza 5 keeps me company untilt hen.

It was a difficult decision, but I've elected to wait for the NA release due to timing and such. It'll be sad to miss out on playing it with my friends, but I'll enjoy it more with more time in the future.

I'm waiting for the NA release as well but I gotta support the game in this thread.

I tried it myself and it worked.

but man it was exhausting just translating the menu let alone 80+ hours of text.

yeah I'll just wait for the western release.

Well in honor of this thread I decided to pre-order the "Take Your Heart" Edition from Amazon :) Thank god for that Prime discount..

Yeah if your have to translate basic menu options it'll take a long time to do just random text from NPC dialogue...and that's assuming you can even understand the actual sentence. It'll be very tiring.

Doesn't the anniversary edition also come with P3 and P4's battle themes to be used in P5? I remembering being really hyped that I get to use Reach Out To The Truth from one of the announcement events.

Yeah, it would be untenable to translate everything. It would have to just be for things that are vexing you, like you're stuck somewhere and need to know what people are saying to get past.

This is how you learn though. At least if you're at an intermidiate level and know a fair bit of grammar. Read read read, and I'm sure the game'll have lots of that.

As far as kanji identifying methods go,the most reliable is using jisho and picking radicals for the kanji

Its slow, but hey,maybe you start learning them by the radicals in the process

If you have a Samsung note and have some experience writing Kanji, the Samsung keyboard with the pen is great.

Yeah. Also some GAF member sent around PSN messages with spoilers in them a while back, don't remember what game it was about but anyway.

There's some sick bastards among us, despite being a relatively safe forum.

Using Google translate, and looking up the kanji that the app doesn't pick by radicals in the dictionary has worked fine for me in the past.

Yup, I'm approaching intermediate and I'm looking forward to getting some real practice. And also playing the game :p

I'd say the quickest way would be to use an app like Akebi and draw them. With the PS3/PS4 resolution it should be pretty easy not to mess it up, especially if you do know some kanji and radicals already. I think it would definitely take less time than searching for radicals.

Gonna make the same rule I did for the Tales of Berseria thread, DO NOT POST SPOILERS IF YOU ARE NOT PLAYING THE GAME YOURSELF. You will get a short vacation if you do.

How many of you are playing who don't know Japanese? I know very little Japanese and I'm undecided if I should get this. The last import I had was Dark Souls 3 and I had no problems with that. What will you guys be using to help play?

I watched that stream posted earlier, broke down and just preordered it. I have a weak will, but GOD DAMN everything just looks so good.

Those of you who don't know Japanese but are importing regardless are braver than me haha. I just can't convince myself to do it. It's gonna be a long 5 months. ;_;

Finished Tales of Berseria just in time for this. Wish I had more time to do a second run of that but I don't want to get in the middle of one and have to cut it short for an indeterminate amount of time.

I'm not a huge Persona fan but I'm really looking forward to this one, it seems to have made a lot of enhancements and changes to be a little more appealing to people like me. :p

Yeah. Only knowing Kawaii and Konnichiwa and then seeing this as soon as the game starts:

I am so anxious and this (puts the index and thumb finger almost together) close to getting this. UGHHHHHH
