So how playable is this to people who can't read japanese?

You will not get the story, but the gameplay is all right for poeple who can't read Japanese.
In fact it's pretty fun!

Need to resist urge to play through the whole game in Japanese. This is so addicting. But the story is pretty good too and I want to get more of it. So I really need to wait for the English release of this one. ;_;

I've tried all the patches I found from these pages, but it doesn't make it work at all for DSOne. Two blanks screens, as if unpatched...

As above, I'm getting blank screens when booting the game whatever I do (Bahamut release, R4, tried multiple firmwares and patches). Kinda losing hope, I've tried all the advice I could find, both Japanese and English. :/

Heads up to those that were having trouble using DSTT, got it to work with 'Unofficial DSTT Kernel_v117a13_rev05(JAP)'.

I forgot in what ways I patched the rom, 'cuz I pretty much tried all of them before >_>, but I'm guessing any should do, really.

Anyway, halfway through now. I really hope this game is going to catch on in Japan as well as abroad, because so far it's awesome, srsly. Definitely want for this to influence future games in the genre!

Just finished the game and it was a real blast. The story was well paced and for me, always kept me wanting to play more to find out more about what was going on. I especially liked how the mechanism for 'resetting' the final time line was well thought out and actually had actually been setup throughout the game. Rather than being somewhat pulled out of a hat without any underlying buildup.

I'm not sure why people think there's some kind of "Ace Attorney" influence. I've played through the game and it was quite enjoyable. But they didn't have any call backs to any Ace Attorney characters, and game mechanic wise it's totally different. I'd argue that there are much less of the 'insanely flamboyant' characters that are common in the Ace Attorney series.

I can definitely see them at least trying to make a translation of the game. The story and characters I think are engaging and can be translated between cultures. So I don't see any major hurdles in doing so aside from the effort required which is actually much less than most other games.

I'd recommend against playing the game if you don't understand Japanese. You can theoretically fumble through the mechanics of the game and complete it. It's pretty simple to do so without reading any Japanese. But really the story is what shines in this game, and you'd be missing out on what really makes the game tick.

Yeah, same. Not to mention
how they did bother to explain the tutorial character, explaining why the timeline sorta had to go the way it went.
Fun stuff.

The way I saw this, the art and game-play were admittedly quite different, but if you were to judge by the dialog (or BGMs/SEs for that matter), it was very reminiscent of Ace Attorney. If you played those in Japanese as well, I think you'd notice the style of jokes to be the same (protagonist noting the others' comments not being particularly applicable, the "??????" in ???????, that kinda small stuff). Then there was Missile, the investigator that looked very similar to Phoenix (only in 3D, not the sprite), and a few other references in text. It's small things really, but I definitely noticed, probably if I hadn't known before as well.

So far I'm absolutely loving it, but I'm stuck X_X
Help!

I've just saved the girl from the dark Trap Room under the police office thing (the trap with the light, fan, ball, cupid statue, and revolver. er.. Where the um... Scientist with the bird on his head is.. or something.

Anyway, I um, did that, and then she went into the hatch. Then I went to a few other locations, but nothing was happening anywhere o_o
It's not progressing! What am I meant to do!

EDIT: Oh, I had to keep annoying the two guards by making the papers go back and forth >_
