I want to play a video game (lol weeaboo), but it's in Japanese and I only know a little. It's for the Gameboy Advance.
How much Japanese do I need to know to play it without many problems? Will there be a lot of kanji?
In short, how can I learn to read Japanese as quickly as possible? I don't care about speaking or writing it, or even pronouncing it right. I just want to understand what it means.
Try GameFAQs. Translations are often available.
I didn't find any, well I did but it's just translations of items and stuff, not the script

Look for other places too.

If you learn hardcore (a few hours each day) maybe a year.
If you lean like a pussy 3 hours a week never.
