I haven't played that one but I've played a lot of JRPGs on my PSP/Vita, I think if you are already a fan of Japanese games and the subject matter interests you and there are english subtitles then it should be fun.

Hope you have a tablet that you can look at while you play. That is the only way you will get any translations since that is a Japanese only game.

I played Final Fantasy V on my SNES with the Super Famicom adapter.

That was a lesson in frustration biggrin

I had to have a friend write down on a piece of paper what the kanji for the skills meant so I could know if I was going to cast fire or use a potion.

I'll never do that again. That was when I had the time, in high school.

I'll never have the luxury of the available time again.
