If I had to make an estimate, I'd say I understand at least 50% of the
story. The story is definitely not utterly unreadable, not if you pay close
attention and pick what you can out of the translated sentences. They are
fairly jumbled, but most of the time I can figure out at least the jist of
what was being said. It's especially easy now that there's the
InstantTranslate Addon for NVDA.
As for the games speaking Japanese, first of all, that sounded more like
chinese, haha. And secondly, that only happens with the self-voicing games,
which don't work with translators anyway. The only way the games that use
clipboard output speak japanese is if you set them up with a clipboard
monitor and a japanese Sapi voice.
These games are very, extremely playable, the storyline can be read with
some patience and careful listening, the game mechanics of every game I've
played so far are easy to understand and I personally think anyone who
doesn't at least give the games a try is missing out on some serious
awesomeness since there is nothing even remotely equivalent in english, and
won't be for a while if the games that are in development now are any
indication.

Hi Dark.
Like I said earlier, I get it.. these games aren't for everyone. I'm just
curious as to how much story the people using the translator tools are
getting since for me, a good rpg or action adventure title would
definitely need to have a good story. It's almost ironic... that I
understand more without the translators than with them. While my Japanese
isn't completely fluent, it's good enough that I understand about 30-40%
of what's usually said. If I try to use the translation methods most of
the audiogamers use, I get so confused. lol
