Ohhh, I see what you mean, strange, I don’t know how I managed that one, thanks!

Wow, thanks for all the responses! I’ve been wanting to start using my japanese with a game and figured I’d go as simple (and interesting to me) as I possibly could. And considering I’ve played Dragon Quest one in english already this seemed like a good match.

I spent some more time today working on the very first block of text that comes up once the game start (slow and steady to the extreme) and I found another interesting thing.

Understandably there are multiple Kanji with a similar meaning but I found the word 団交　but in the game (I have kanji sonomama ds rakubiki jiten thankfully) it was a different Kanji　that I can’t seem to replicate here…. but it looks like a box with two vertical lines on the inside and a little stem coming off the top left of the symbol. …That may not be very helpful, but I was curious why this kanji could be broken down.

I suppose it makes sense that maybe the character is more common as 団交? I hope this makes sense, and thanks to everybody who takes the time to sort my mystery out!

Hahaha,that sounds pretty good to me! I still have a lot to learn and I’m definitely seeing a lot of variation just playing through and translating what I can.
