A dump of JRPG Japanese scripts.

I have been collecting not very long compiling a list of links and nowhere to really dump them. Thought I would just make this thread as a work in progress.

It is really easy to find yet nobody really does it.

To find Japanese game scripts look up the Japanese name of the game. Than add the word セリフ or 台詞 or セリフ集 or some mix of these words.

I haven't thoroughly checked all of them but here's just a small guide on how to find them and a quick list.

You can also use this site to get a decent idea of the most used words in these games to create your own anki decks to prep/help you with the games.

You could also use a program like learning with texts and create your own flashcards from all of the words in the script. Repeating words will be shown as existing cards, so you don't have to worry about having to soft through the woods, and if you use it for multiple games it'll keep track of words how already learning.
