Hello everyone!
This is a special thread for a playthrough of Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town in Japanese! Here, @muromuro and I will post updates on our progress, attach screenshots, translate sentences, and more! Oh, and we will also try to get all the Steam achievements… Feel free to join us on this quest:).
We will soon add a google doc sheet with useful words from this game.
Why this game: it’s pretty chill and it has furigana! Moreover, the language has been not too hard so far.
A few words to start off!
牧場 ぼくじょう - livestock farm
道具 どうぐ - tool
町長 ちょうちょう - town mayor

Look at our cute chicken, Tamago-chan!
So far, we met most of the townsfolk and they all have been saying how the town got boring.
Translation: If the town doesn’t become a bit more lively, I wonder if the young people will feel bored.
I guess we are here to change things!

It is just reading! But yes, I also wanted to play Rune Factory 5 and other games in Japanese but then just do not have furigana. Maybe we can’t do that yet, but we will be able to read such things too someday!
More cute updates coming soon =w=.
