Oh? Interesting. It's just that recently, a few newspapers in Asia were hyping on about how the government does want foreign workers to deal with the problem. I'd thought that it may well just be the government saying so and the culture not following along, (because as far as I know Japan *is* quite xenophobic). I figured OP might get a job in the long run if this were the case.

Either way, OP shouldn't worry about their reasons for learning Japanese as long as they learn it and learn it well. People shouldn't really be so self conscious about it. Learning something for the sake of learning it isn't a crime. There are so many fans who learn it just because of anime, suddenly decide that it is too hard, and then drop it, and who really cares? Sure it's a weeaboo thing to do, but mh, their loss for not continuing.

If OP gets disillusioned in their career choice later on so be it, it's through their own naivety. I don't know much about gaming either, so essentially I wanted to say that they shouldn't need to justify their reasons for choosing a career. They should just do what they want to do, and if it turns out being shit, then they brought it on themselves. Maybe I'm a bit of a romantic but it doesn't mean you shouldn't follow your dreams.

Personally, I'm just going to settle down quietly wherever my life takes me and the only reason I learn Japanese is so I can get raws and watch them, since I hate being spoiled so much. I don't see why that's such a bad reason for learning it. Languages are fun and Japanese is especially complex so I enjoy the challenge. *shrug*

Okay...neither I nor tenshi are saying not to learn Japanese. What we are saying is the harsh reality that is the Japanese culture and government. They don't like hiring gaijin.

Hell, I learned some Japanese, because like you I wanted to read the raws for some mangas. I gave up however because my major demands more classes out of me, and I don't have time to commit to learning Japanese.

And I'm really curious about those newspaper articles. I mean, it is logical to invite foreigners and obviously there are logical Japanese people who don't mind gaijin living in Japan. However, a large amount are xenophobic and the change of attitude will take a long time.


And I'm all for the Secret Poster to go after their dream job, but they shouldn't be delusional. It's the worst thing to do. If you want your dream job then you better know the pros and cons of your future. I don't like simply encouraging people but not giving them a heads up. IMO, it's better to be knowledgeable and know ALL your possible options before opting to go down a path.

Yeah, I'm not discouraging learning Japanese in general; what I'm discouraging is the excuse. Saying that you want to learn Japanese to break into the Japanese gaming industry is unrealistic. You could be a localizer on the US side, maybe; but actually working in Japan in a field like that is completely unrealistic. That, and the whole argument seems hypocritical. Anime fans who like anime better than US cartoons are fanbrats for wanting to learn Japanese... but you, who like Japanese games better than US games are not? Um...
Basically everything Hoshika said.
