Why because Japanese fans don't matter?

Yup, and also listed in the Videos section of the main site. Both of them have been subtitled now.

Considering that the games originated in Japan, Capcom probably thinks they matter more than us. I don't mind having to watch the videos in Japanese. There are always awesome fans that are willing to either provide a subtitled version or do a fan dub themselves. I like to see the variations on what other fans think a character will sound like.

That's the funny thing about the internet and written communication in general. There is no inflection in the words; therefore, it is almost impossible (in some cases) to tell if some is being serious or saying something in jest. It happens to all of us at sometime.
Although, I do have to say, I did think it was odd that you would say something like that since your Moderator.

"That's it. That's the last straw."
Even with a functional knowledge of basic Japanese playing a video game with as much text as Gyakuten Anything--and this is pun-riddled, verbose, technical text--would be extremely taxing. I don't even know if Furigana would be included. I'm in Japanese 313 and I still stare blankly at the majority of upper-elementary-school Kanji. And damn, looking up Kanji without Furigana in the Nelson dictionary takes forfuckingever. That would get old fast if you had to do that for every Kanji.
If you're not at least nearing proficiency in Japanese, I would consider waiting on ordering the Japanese version of Gyakuten Kenji. It would be an excellent challenge for those with a high level of reading comprehension, but if you're just now entering Japanese 101, I would SERIOUSLY consider saving your money until you're more fluent.
Any motivation to advance one's knowledge is a good motivation.

The Gyakuten games do not use Furigana (there's no way it would be legible in the tiny text box) though I noticed in GS4 that they often repeated some of the more complicated words in Katakana. I think this was part of their attempt to make AJ as widely accessible as possible. Not sure if they could go that route with Kenji (unless you had Gumshoe/Mikumo asking Edgeworth to explain things XD).
But, if you're looking for an alternative to a classic kanji dictionary, I highly recommend this DS dictionary which allows you to write the kanji on your screen to find the meaning. You have to understand a few things about stroke order to really use it well, but I absolutely love it.
'Course, since it's a DS game you couldn't use it while playing Kenji unless you've got two.

I might have to get that either way. (I'll translate those art books one character at time!)

Can I take it as Katakana and Furigana are easy to learn and if I start to learn the language now, maybe I can understand the main idea of Japanese texts when GK comes out? O_o *really start to think about it*

Anyway, I sat there staring at a japanese to english dictionary, translating the darn little symbols one character at a time.. and it took me over an hour to do this. The phrase I wound up translating? "oh shit" lol
I know there's no possibility of me being able to play this game, I have only the basic grasp of the Japanese language, and have only taken a year of it, LONG long ago
Maybe I'll just hang out with you guys after it's release, and spoil myself silly...

Hey, that's the dictionary that I bought for my husband.
He loves it! I still plan on fumbling my way through GK, with my limited Japanese and all. Hell, I've played RPG's in Japanese before so... I'm ready for the challenge. ^_^

The only Japanese games I've played are the second Mario Bros. game (not a problem considering there isn't really a story or alot of text involved) and DoReMi Panic on virutal console. That one is a little more problemmatic since I don't read Japanese and had to basically guess at the story plot or look on Game Faqs to figure out how to beat some of the bosses. The game provides hints, but like I said their in Japanese.

I have a Japanese PS2, so I have a few JP games for it. Para Para Paradise, all of the Xenosaga series, Namco X Capcom and Zombies vs. Ambulances. XD (Worst game ever, but it's hilarious. XD) I've also played some Japanese games on my DS as well. The Japanese PS2 is handy as a DVD player as well, for import DVD's. ^_^
So... bring on Gyakuten Kenji!! XD
(And hopefully I'll be living in Japan by the time GK comes out, so being immersed in Japanese should help me improve my skills as well. ^_^;;)

I've wanted to live in Japan for YEARS. After finally going there this spring, it confirmed my lust to live there. (And my husband's as well.) So, my husband and I both got certified to teach English as a Second Language, and we're going to be English teachers.
(It seems to be the easiest way to get over there right now, the jobs are plentiful.) We hope to be there by the end of the year/January.But yes, I will definitely keep my eye out for other Gyakuten Saiban news when I am there. :D Even though we already have awesome people like JapaneseGIRL who keep us up to date. (And I thank you for it!! <3)

He loves it! I have that dictionary as well. I love it. It's not as thorough as the Nelson, and the teacher wants us to write down the Nelson # for the Kanji to make sure we used the dictionary (So. Pointless.), but it's hugely useful nonetheless.

Hmm. Well, in the first place, Furigana is merely Hiragana that is written above Kanji as a pronunciation guide, so you would in fact be learning Hiragana and Katakana. And I have no idea. How fast are you at learning?

Oh I see...so Furigana is like phonetic symbol in English. Interesting.O_o
Well...they only foreign language I've learned is English so it's kind of hard to tell, but usually I can learn pretty fast if I have a good guide. So teaching metirials maybe very helpful.

Hiragana and Katakana are really easy. If I can learn them, you can learn them.
I bought myself a set of flash cards and learned that way. And since you already know Chinese characters... well, that's a LOT of the battle right there. ^_^;;
