Is there a Russian translation of the game? I've seen some old comments from gamers who bought the original Japanese PS2 version and tried to play it without knowing the language, and were hopelessly lost; even with all of the dialogue translated, the plot/setting has very deep roots in Japanese folklore and some of it inevitably gets lost outside the culture. And some sections are pretty difficult even when you know what's supposed to happen-- some of this may be because I'm still not very good at handling the controls for console games, but apparently some of it is also because the Nintendo Wii controller gets weirdly twitchy at times.
