Is there really a problem when playing the Japanese version of Adventure Island? I am referring to equipment. Do you need to occasionally change equipment and get messed up with the Japanese names? Or you are always wearing the highest stats gear which is simple enough?
Thanks
Knowing just Katakana is enough to help you with that, but if you don't know it just look at the numbers and icons and with a little bit of trial and error you'll be fine!
A little hint: The equipment in the right column are often the ones that have status effects like creating or breaking blocks or walking through lava undamaged, the ones in the left column never do...
