Hello,

I was just wondering if the English translation was allowed for this. The uneducated fool that I am can barely tell one kanji from another, sadly enough.

Thanks!

Hi marth,

The English translation patch is not accepted for times on the board, being that it puts you at a strict disadvantage (the text is markedly slower, and it breaks the HP/MP refill at the end of the game, forcing you to have a Chimera Wing at the end). It does make for a perfectly valid practice tool, and more than a couple of current runners practiced on EN before moving to JP successfully.

The Japanese knowledge necessary to run this game is pretty low, and you don't actually need to know any Kanji at all! Everything you really need to know in the interface, you can find in this JP to EN reference: https://goo.gl/cMBg26

Anything else you'd like to know can be answered by any number of runners here on our DQRTA Discord server: https://discord.gg/0dun6IqVD5Az3xKS

Thanks!
