I recently found out that all of Level 5's DS games have furigana, and they're a lot easier to play through because of this. I was wondering if anyone knew of any other games that include furigana.

here's what i know of so far:

DS:
Layton Series (for the first two you need the rereleased "friendly" version for furigana
Inazuma 11
Dragon Quest IX
Zelda (both games)

PS2
Wild Arms series

DQ IX? thats cool

Thanks for the notice about Layton, didn't realize they were released with furigana!! Yippie, now I have games to play on my DS again.

Sorry for the necroposting, but anyone knows more games with furigana. Especially for PC, PSP, PS2 or NDS.

Thx and delete this if its against the rules pls

One thing is that once you start getting into newer games a lot of them have voice acting, and then you don't need the furigana so much. I played through Final Fantasy 10 when I was still pretty noobish at knowing the readings for kanji, and I got along fine. So for the PS2, that's another thing to think about.

Other than what I originally posted, and the Level 5 games that have been released since, I haven't seen anymore. You can use a program called AGTH to copy and paste text from PC visual novels though. Be warned that pc visual novels are made for an older audience, and the language difficulty is appropriately matching. The context provided by visuals/voice acting only make it slightly harder than a light novel though.

Thanks for the necropost. I didn't even think of games having furigana. Kind of seems obvious now though, haha.

Golden Sun (黄金の太陽) has furigana too, pretty cool. You can either let it display always, or set it to tap to view as in the zelda games

you serious??? this is really great!
Thanks man, Im an old fan of golden sun and Im sure it will be very good to play it in japanese ( even with a dictionary by my side).

You know if the other 2 games have furigana in japanese too? I played the english versions, but that was in a time even my english was still pretty weak, and I had no idea I would start learning japanese yet.

Yea really nice playing though it . Played the original one in english as well, so don't know if they have furigana or not
