Feb. 2025

I'm moving to Japan soon and I've been struggling a lot to learn Katakana. I'm not very good at straight memorization, and it's not used quite as much as Hiragana, so it's been harder to get continuous exposure. This game helped me out so much. The game is paced very well, with it giving you a set of characters, then a full dungeon of about 30min or more to practice what you've learned. Then it gives you the next set. I can't say I can fluently read Katakana now that I've beaten the game, but I can recognize most characters and slowly sound things out now. Which is a great place to be. I would definitely recommend it if you're having some trouble memorizing and want to be able to play a fun game while you learn and practice. It's also a solid RPG.

I used to know the japanese alphabets but mostly forgot them. Probably makes the game much easier for me. I don't think it's for anyone other than complete noobs though, it won't do you any good unless you don't know any japanese whatsoever. An English version would be like this: Monsters in the shapes of English letters that you attacked by recognizing what those letters are. They'll also teach a random word or phrase here or there, such as "good morning." I have doubts about a significant improvement in speaking Japanese after finishing this game. That said, I still like it. Good way to learn the Japanese alphabet.

best game in the series in my opinion but still very flawed, teaches Katakana mostly well enough but has a bunch of features that have nothing to do with learning Japanese(like the bond events) and glosses over or entirely skips some things such as the katakana for "vu" that wasn't even mentioned at all(ヴ, though is very rarely used anyway so it's not an issue) and the concept of small vowels that was only briefly mentioned at times(and unless I'm remembering wrong the game even says we'll go more in depth on them later just to never really do it, maybe it does as some side quest I missed but not in the main quest)

Aug. 2024

solid but rough here and there. theres parts of the game that just feel not well enough thought out but other than that it's good

July 2024

As an RPG, it's nothing special. But it doesn't want to be, it wants to help you memorize all them Katakana. And that it does very well.
