Useful JP terms (JP/EN translation)

[Misteyes]

Something I've found incredibly useful is to communicate with numbers when you can.

My Japanese isn't very good, so saying, "I've already searched both of the spots out here" is much harder than saying, "My quest is 2/3" (Especially since I didn't know the word for search). Even between two people who don't speak the same language at all, things like "200/200" for full inventory will work.

Also, from a thread a while ago

that's what I mean about NPC names, same thing applies for area names but at least those are listed in the auto-translate. Depending on the local they use different naming which makes it hard when you try to direct translate and it's not what it is.
