If any of you are interested in learning Jap for video game purposes, if you can already read Chinese then 6months-1year of Jap lessons is enough. You'll be able to understand most sentences because 90% of kanji is the exact same meaning as Chinese (different pronounciation so you won't know how it sounds like, but you will know what it means).
LoL. no need so hardcore ler. if a popular game is in jpn, most times they'll be FAQs or fanslations at gamefaqs or ign. if dont have gamefaq help, i wont recommend playing through a jrpg, sure will get stuck here & there.
p/s: me needed yjtay's repeated help for all the earlier bosses

^ got this fr bob forums. haha, asian version of jpn rpgs are always released in jpn language + eng/chi manuals for the past 10 yrs or so. ori gamers fr TWN & HK usually but gameguides just to play them. hardcore jrpgamers FTW!
p/s: i really enjoyed [eM] with eng. subtitles, if i were to play the pure jpn release with the help of a gamefaq, i doubt the game would be half as enjoyable

back to blue dragon. dint really rush the game, just taking my time sight-seeing and searching for gold at every nook & crany. disc 3 at 36 hrs but plenty of unrecorded time for constant game-overs. wonder why those short CGI clips take up so much space? i can see some codec artifacts on 480i!?
yjtay told me a lot of the secret/optional sidequests may be missable. most probably will have to replay the game after a full FAQ is released
