Wow... Arino's Dialect... O_o
I FINALLY got my hands on a copy of GameCenter CX 2 and I thought I'd try my hand at translating its text as I played. Now, me, I'm a beginner at Japanese, I know grammar pretty well but my vocabulary's abysmal so I'm highly dependent on dictionaries and... I was doing just fine... Until Arino started talking. My GOD! I can hardly understand a single thing he says! I knew Arino spoke with a non-standard dialect... But I was kinda hoping that wouldn't transfer too much into the game... >_< Maybe I should just translate the menus, manuals, magazines, and challenges, and ignore his speech? ^^; God... I hope this won't make the Adventure game harder than it has to be to understand... >_> Out of curiosity, are there any online resources for Arino's dialect? WWWJDIC completely fails at defining his speech. :\

A lot of comedians in Japan have a Kansai-ben accent. I don't really see a straight online dictionary for it, but I can link you to a couple sites that talk about the difference from standard Japanese:

Keep practicing that Japanese, maybe you can translate for us one day

Thanks! I wish I could translate for you guys, I really want to see more GCCX episodes released but I'm not good enough to understand spoken Japanese yet, only written Japanese. Maybe one day though.
