I have been entertaining myself with popular Vampire Knight DS simulation game on my DS Lite. I love the manga and the anime... thus I felt it necessary to give the DS game a shot.
The game, produced by and released for the Japanese region, was anything but comprehensible to a locally brought up Singaporean like me. I may be an Otaku and love the Japanese culture and such, but my comprehension of the Japanese language falls short of what one may call sufficient for reading and writing.
I did not stop there however, and persisted with the game... randomly tapping the choices with my stylus and playing the mini games were small delightful pleasures. Luckily for me, I could understand roughly 40% of the spoken words (not reading, though!) by the various characters all thanks to my great love for the Japanese music and anime.
I ended up with my beloved, Kaname Kuran!!
So if you're an Otaku like I am and do not wish to succumb to language barriers, you should try playing. Trial and Error never hurts. Furthermore, you'll feel like you have just owned the universe. XDD
