Japanese video game scripts

#1
Hey, I want to start pick up some vocab from video games, because I not there where I could really enjoy the manga and novels I want to read.
I intend to start with Kingdom Hearts. But I can't find the script of the game in Japanese.

How should I search? Or do you maybe know a site where I can find it or other scripts?

Thanks.

I found a script here, although I haven't played the game so I can't say how complete it is.

To find game scripts, type the name of the game + 台詞集 into Google.

Long time lurker. I registered just to post this because I remember being in this exact situation four years ago. Good luck on your journey.

台詞集 means "good lines" (i.e. selections of famous or best lines from games) so that may not be the best way to find scripts.

I don't know about transcripts but there's a lot of games with Japanese translations made bi fans or ported from the console versions, just google the name of the game+日本語化

Here's a example with Bioshock:

Although the script isn't complete it's better that nothing.

Final Fantasy 2 - X2 scripts plus sort of story narration stuff. http://members2.jcom.home.ne.jp/ffstory/ff/index.html
You'll have to switch to Shift_JIS on your browser to get it to display properly.

Here's a thread on this board with a bunch of scripts: http://forum.koohii.com/showthread.php?tid=7933

Thank you very much tekcop for the useful link. Especially the Final Fantasy scripts are very useful. They should keep me busy for quite some time.
Thanks.

The amazing kanjitomo program works pretty well with emulated games.
