Like i know people claim that Japanese is the fastest language to play in but how fast is Korean? Like i assume it would be pretty fast faster than English at least but exactly how fast and is there any version differences between Japanese and Korean other than the text?

Text has little to no effect on how fast the game is for Phantom Hourglass. There are 2 reasons that the Japanese version is fastest:

  1. When you need to fight Jolene while waiting for the Phantom Sword to be forged, in Japanese, Jolene consistently appears right outside Zauz's Island, so you can just fight her immediately. In the other versions, Jolene can't appear there, so you have to savewarp to put Jolene in a consistent spot and then sail towards her. This saves approx. 2 minutes on the JP version.
  2. Whenever you warp using the cyclone slate, in Japanese, you only get one cutscene that plays: The cutscene where the cyclone picks you up. All other versions of the game include an extra one where the cyclone puts you down.

So, all other versions, Korean version included, aren't quite as fast as the Japanese version.
