[@GameGengo]

This is probably my favorite episode yet!! Had such a blast with this one! Hope you all enjoy!

I am morally obligated to not skip a single ad

[@issolomissolom3589]

Yeah same here 😅

[@SM-ok3sz]

Not me. I slap that skip button harder than my ex wife.

[@ClankFelix]

Same

[@matoikazamaki9522]

Oh these two hours passed so fast, I loved this episode, it shows that you're extremely passionate about this game, I hope you're having fun playing it.

[@GameGengo]

Yay! Hehe thats the goal! Get exposed to a bunch of Japanese and pick it up while having fun! Im having a blast playing the game! Love it so much

[@alnorris251]

Thats a lot of work! Thank you so much Really love your passion and love for games

[@GameGengo]

Thanks so much for watching! Im glad you enjoyed the video! I have a blast making them!

[@MarkSmee]

I genuinely love a good database.

[@GameGengo]

Hehe me too! ;)

[@vroomfondel3693]

Amazing job as always! I don't think I'm ever going to outgrow this series. Since you only quickly review words that've been seen before and spend your time on the new words, it's going to always feel useful. I'm a fan of turn-based personally, but still hyped for this game just due to the setting and style!

[@issolomissolom3589]

Your effort is amazing, thank you so much, your excitement got me excited to play final fantasy 😅

[@bmanpura]

Thanks for your great video! Great explanation, but more importantly, enthusiasm. Haven't seen someone teach with this much enthusiasm for the longest of time. Final Fantasy is such a good game to learn language.. I got serious in english because I wanted to play FF8 without holding a dictionary, and I certainly didn't expect to learn JP through this game as well. 1:01:00 From Hugo to cock, I think there's something missing in between.

[@faith17178]

Can’t wait for the gamescript at some point 😊

[@afrinchry]

Do i owe you my firstborn now because what is this insane level of dedication

[@GameGengo]

Hahahhaa best comment of the year hahaha

[@Mureirsa]

YAY!!!! thanks for all your hard work

[@GameGengo]

Thanks so much for enjoying!!

[@nicongo6047]

Just started making videos where I pick up Japanese from Anime and stumbled upon your video and damnnn this just hit me how much hard work you have put into this! And the game also came out as well! bravo! 👏👏

[@CACOaugus1o]

If only I had time to play a Final Fantasy game, like in my teenage years...

[@GameGengo]

Just gotta do it in Japanese and claim it's 'study' ;) haha

[@CACOaugus1o]

Haha, thats not a bad idea

[@DeathWink176]

thanks for the video, i learn a lot and your voice really relaxing. thanks so much

[@Chara_The1stHuman]

As a FF lover and a japanese learner, I love your content, ありがとうございます！

[@user-dz5vd2fe4v]

Thanks a lot for that video ! I have a question, when you do encounter unknown words while you play, do you focus on the game experience and go on as long as it’s not blocking your progress, or do you check it in the dictionary ? I’m playing Zelda TOTK in Japanese now and I didn’t expect so many unknown and specialized words (about ruins, mythology and all). 色々教えてくれてありがとうございました😊

[@nevada_us6115]

Dude this is such a cool idea! I think you should start your own language learning website. I'm still learning French, but I'm gonna jump into Japanese really soon!

[@Mercuiro89]

1:08:04 the full explanation of this phrase made me laugh so much! 😂

[@Kreideberg]

Definitely love to see more

[@Rukishou]

I cannot wait for this game to come to PC so I can finally play it and see what all this fuss about King Waldo Waluigi is

[@DiggOlive]

When I imported Phantom Hourglass in the Summer of 2007, I did extactly this for myself, but never continued with another game, and none if it stuck. I wish I had pushed harder and reviewed more.

[@GameGengo]

Yeah for sure! Its tough in the beginning but the more you keep at it the easier it gets! Its always hard in the beginning ;)

[@AerisVEphelia]

nice, but I didn't find the thing you use for this : 51:54 which app ? thanks !

[@guibezerra]

Wonderful video as always! Congratulations! Is there any way to download all the japanese script shown on this video?

[@GameGengo]

Your wish is my command! haha I have just added the JP subtitles to the video, so you can use either the transcript button to show, or download using a subtitle downloader

[@guibezerra]

@@GameGengo Thank you very much! It helps a lot when studying!

[@kamfuku]

1:03:40 If Thanos won over Mistress Death 😹

[@crowmagnon]

Why are you the coolest man I have ever seen

[@nitinnishant7783]

Your vocab series videos are getting better and better with each new release. I can't wait to see you make one for Starfield.

[@Mureirsa]

please make more shorts because the algorithm loves those

[@tetukabuto]

Thanks for this great rundown, just finished it. But I'm a bit confused when you showed the grammar table at the start, it had 53 non JLPT points on it? I know people count grammar in many ways but the most I have seen was on nihongokyoshi with 8 non JLPT grammer points. I would really like to see where you got the grammar list from.

[@GameGengo]

Thanks for enjoying the video! There is no non JLPT grammar list. These are just pieces of grammar from this one video that arent in the JLPT. There is a lot of grammar outside the JLPT actually. Much more than the list youre mentioning. If you want to find JP resources showing this just simply search for 'jlptにない文型' and youll see there is much more than the list you mentioned :)

[@alastor8780]

What does the Anime/News/Wiki thing mean? I'm trying to guess, like if a word says Top 1k it's used more?

[@GameGengo]

Yup! If its in the top 1k that means its the top 1000 most common/useful words in that category

[@Aeris_InJapan]

1:53:00 I swear, I'll do it for the honnor of this channel. I m learning it as a reflex I learn japanese only for this kind of dumbery !!

[@TrueBlackJew]

S-級ヒーローだよ！

[@alxjones]

It's spelled Waloed but it's pronounced "wuh-LOOD". I think the transliteration they chose was fine.

[@GameGengo]

Ah nice! Thanks for that! I haven't played the ENG version so I didn't know haha :)

[@OverdriveRSSZ]

Problem about FFXVI is that theres no other humanoid alien like characters (vieira ff12; black mage ff9; quina ff9 like; guado ff10 etc.) and supermagick or medieval marvelous cities (ff9 Alexandria; archades ff12; zanarkand ff10; besaid and luca ff10; ff8 that big futuristic city and that futuristic schools). The absence of this elements made ff16 less "fantasy" and a little bit not so good as it could. Also, the fact that you can't control other characters. But Final Fantasy VII rebirth really seems like a main and awesome title. By the way, ゲーム言語は一番の日本語先生。

[@noahbarger1]

can you do a sort of video like this for the japanese version of deltarune?

[@touhouenjoyer]

I really thought ウォ−ルード王 was some stylistic way of saying "leader of the world/king of the world" before you said it wad a name lmao

[@cristianh.187]

I wanna use ありがたきお言葉 so badly now haha

[@Aeris_InJapan]

damn if someone found the whole script aside of this game I would be fine to translate it all. thanks again. on this episode it's 90% jeezing tho, and 10% japanese LOL.

[@jguillermomartinez]

Sekiro would be really cool!

[@kineticmeow9242]

Can’t wait to see Let’s Go Eevee and Collar x Malice❣️

[@GameGengo]

Wooo Pokemon should hopefully be one of the next ones!

[@kineticmeow9242]

@@GameGengo YES!!! 😻 I also plan on getting Collar x Malice in Japanese since you might be doing a video on that in the future. 🎉

[@tehdawson]

So... what reply did you get to ありがたきお言葉?😅

[@Chris-eo1bp]

can you finish ff7

[@farleylai1102]

Though the Japanese VA is supposed to be original, the presentation is too conservative compared with the English localization. For example, Benedikta in Japanese just called Kupta's name when stepping out of the door. This is far from exciting than outspoken "You cock" in English.

[@walterhanson7508]

💯 'Promo SM'

[@TrueBlackJew]

Never consume Japanese content in English. Almost every translator gets things wrong by leaving crucial things out. Especially styles of speaking

[@Kanji101]

He isn't consuming it in English, the game is set to Japanese Audio and Subs.

[@AmadeusNarrates]

For FF16 it's a bit of a different situation actually, since the Japanese script is adapted from the English one. As far as I understand this is how it went: Japanese Script > English Translation > Japanese Translation again from English. This is reinforced even more by the fact that the lip sync is for English only.

[@GameGengo]

Its a tough job being a translator! You certainly want accuracy while also natural sounding conversation. Ive learnt that a lot through this channel what literal translations can end up like. I do prefer when translations stick to accuracy though for sure

[@AnAngelineer]

Matt, I know this game is VERY impressive... but maybe you fanboy a little too much in that video. We're here to learn Japanese, not to get advertised about Square Enix or Final Fantasy. ;)

[@GameGengo]

Thanks for your comment! I love video games and will enjoy making my videos however I wish. If you don't like that, you're free to watch something else :) When I'm hype for something, I'll get hype.

[@Constantly_Shaved]

Don’t listen to him! The hype must flow.
