日本語でFF8をやっていますよ！ - mezbup - 2009-12-08

FF8 is like my fav RPG ever. I've been on a day long mission to find it in Japanese (that was the easy part) then to get it work (3 attempts later).

I've got my lappy right next to my big tv which is on my desk so what i'm doing is playing FF8 on the big tv and having dorama/anime playing on the lappy that i'm watching whilst playing the game.

Immersion ftw!

fun fun fun.

Just wanted to say if anyone else wants to play this game in Japanese let me know and i'll let you know how to do it. It took quite a bit of figuring out. Super proud that I googled all in Japanese Big Grin

Wasn't it recently released to the Japanese PSN store?

P.S. - I also adore this game. Except I just bought a copy from akihabara Tongue

日本語でFF8をやっていますよ！ - mezbup - 2009-12-08

No idea??

I'm talking about the oldschool playstation 1 version Big Grin

Yes I still own one of those. It's wicked for RPGS.

I'm playing ゼルダ：夢幻の砂時計 in Japanese right now. It's surprisingly pretty tough. Lots of vocab and funny ways of saying things that throw me off. I'm learning lots, though... but when I really really get into the game, I skip a good deal of dialogue... especially form ラインバック or whatever his name is Tongue

I've been dying to play this for a week now haha. I've played it through several times in English when I was a teen.

I love how circle is confirm rather than X. After 8 I might play 7 through In Japanese Smile

日本語でFF8をやっていますよ！ - Ryuujin27 - 2009-12-08

When I say it's in the PSN store I mean that it is the old original version, just like FF7 is also up. You can play it on PS3 or on PSP.

I'd play FF8 once again if it wasn't for drawing magic *shudders*.

ugh tell me about it. I'd like some sort of trainer that will put me at lvl99 so I can play for the story and not the training/battles.

dun got one.

Tried using the action replay disk but course that didn't work cos it's only for the European/American versions of the games. Is there a Japanese one of those??

Yup, and I happily bought it when I saw it on there. My Japanese isn't quite up to it... But it's SO close! Big Grin

I'm looking forward to when I can pick it up and just play.

日本語でFF8をやっていますよ！ - Erubey - 2009-12-08

Did you get an ISO or something?

Email me at Urielerubey@yahoo.com

I've been wanting to play it forever. I even found the J-ISO once, but I since lost it somewhere.

日本語でFF8をやっていますよ！ - Hashiriya - 2009-12-08

if you use a gameshark, i remember one of the characters has a move with an instant kill for anything including bosses... you can set that move to infinite and get through the game pretty fast Wink

日本語でFF8をやっていますよ！ - Javizy - 2009-12-08

I had the same idea, but using espxe's OpenGL2 plugin. I already finished FFVII, which I think is the best Wink

I did Metal Gear Solid, too, but that's a bit of a nightmare to understand, and the kanji text is really low-res. Still cool to play the originals of my favourite ever games though.

日本語でFF8をやっていますよ！ - mezbup - 2009-12-08

It's almost weirds me out when I see them say よろしくお願いします because I'm soooo used to the game in English.

Something I like about playing it in Japanese is sometimes I know what it says in English already so if I don't understand the Japanese I at times have the advantage of working backwards from meaning > words and it helps out a little coming to understand certain patterns of speech.

Bugs the crap out of me when I don't get something Sad

Really enjoying it Smile

Just card mod everything you need. Doesn't take that long.

Or Heal-magic-refine and 30 tents.

I'm curious, what's Squall's "...whatever." translated as?

"・・・別に" of course.

日本語でFF8をやっていますよ！ - Spines11 - 2009-12-09

Hey Mezbup, I'm going through FF7 in Japanese right now and wanna do FF8 next but couldn't figure out how after more than an hour of googling. Can you email me at Spines11@msn.com with info? Smile

日本語でFF8をやっていますよ！ - mezbup - 2009-12-09

Hey Spines and Erubey I emailed you both the way to do it Smile

Just to be clear when you're patching it you drag and drop both the ISO and the patch onto xps.com at the same time.

I've been playing (well I haven't played much in the past couple of weeks because of finals) FF12 in Japanese on my PS2, its a bit of a pain in the butt since I'm not too far into RTK so the Kanji is the worst part. But as I've stated in other posts I've made, I learned grammar before finding RTK (or any other successful way for me to learn kanji) so I catch onto most of the grammar pretty well, but I'll usually have my DS out with kanji sonomama open to look up the many kanji and words I don't know. It can take me over 10 minutes to understand (and usually not even fully understand) a text bubble, so the game goes really slow and annoying at times. Tongue

ouch! 頑張って！

I played through the very first part of FF8 last night. I think it's just the right difficulty for me at the moment which seems perfect. Now I'm up to the part just before you leave for timber so I'm gonna do my 6hr beach training stint whilst watching a few shows Smile

I'm finished with RTK and kanji is still the worst part. I started playing this yesterday. I then realized how incredibly not interesting the game was in English and stopped soon after. Tongue

I like a challenge, but 50+ hours and still under level 40 whilst having to stack the living hell out of quickening to beat virtually every boss-like creature got annoying after a while. I quit.

While playing yesterday, I suddenly remembered having nightmares where Vahn would say nothing but "Get a load of this"..."how bout some of this" the entire time while reaching the 27th level as fire circled around us and he threw a giant bowling ball and cast ultima 3 times on an enemy which was immune to all status ailments and magical attacks (for some reason) whilst poisoning the living hell out of us and possessing over 9 million HP.

My brother, the stubborn fellow he is, did the level up trick for almost a week straight to see his characters rise to the insane level of 63. He banged his head on the wall as he wandered for hours trying to locate the Ultima summon. He battled it ten times before finally gaining victory, only to be given a watered down pushover of a companion as a reward. In the end, to beat the final boss he handed the controller over to me and I put my insane quickening managing skills to the test only to fail... twice. I quit again. Taking what he learned from my strategies, he used a unique combination of standard battle and quickening shuffles to come out with a victory... if that's what you call 160+ hours of hell.

I had been trying to get this to work for a while, but kept failing. Both FF7 and FF8 I'd love to play through in Japanese.

Can you also let me know the steps to get it to work correctly? Smile

Failing that Im thinking I might just go to Akihabara and try and find a PS1 with all these games Smile

A PS1 can be found for 20 bucks, and FFVII for 20-40, FVIII for 20-30. Also, by the way, Akihabara is great for finding rare things, but it's not so great for buying really common things as the deals aren't as good. The best place to buy something like FFVII is in a used gaming store in the middle of nowhere, where you can sometimes get it for as little as 13 or 14 bucks. I'd get the PS1 in Akihabara (since it's likely to be the same price), and then the games elsewhere for cheaper.

I picked up a slim PS2 for 70 bucks in Kyoto, and I know quite a few stores where PS2s sometimes go for 70-90... so that's also a reasonable price option with more possibilities. At the very least, you won't be buying something that you can just as easily do with an emulator.

[Scale: 10 bucks = 1000 yen. Smile

I've played through a bunch of FFVII in Japanese. The Japanese is quite easy, and the music and scenery (i.e., nostalgia) carries me through it happily even if I have to look up a few things.
