    So I've never imported anything without an English language option but see people beat games all the time online without any knowledge of the language. I feel like the language of gameplay is universal and I shouldn't miss out on a cool experience because I'm intimidated. I played a ton of the Japanese FFXV demo before release and didn't have many issues so I felt ready to attempt a full game. I have bought Ryu Ga Gotoku 6.

    So my question is this: what resources should I use to assist an untranslated play through? I have a translation of the wikia and the google translate app to help with some item description, any other recommendations?

    Enjoyment from the Yakuza games for me comes from the story and dialogue, with the rest of the fun being in the silly minigames and the over the top style of the combat. Bare minimum you're going to want a translation of all the main story dialogue and cutscenes.

    I'm not trying to be mean but you made a huge leap to go from a gameplay demo with next to no meaningful dialogue to a game who's main selling point is the dumb/silly/melodramatic mafia story. Actual gameplay that doesn't require the ability to read japanese or a translation is like 10% of the game.

    Good luck but I got a feeling you're either going to regret your decision or put way too much effort into making sense of a game that's going to get released in English in a year and a half.
