Tales of Hearts Script

[xandarg]

Hey guys, I just picked up the new Tales of Hearts DS game (I've been a fan of the Tales games since ToP), but the problem is my ability in Japanese is only just past intermediate, so while the grammar is fine, my infirm grasp of kanji and my small vocabulary are killing me (though the spoken text is a big help). I was hoping there was some way for me to get a hold of the script of the game, like a rom script dump or something (unprocessed, out of order, whatever is fine), just so I can scan for the most frequently occurring characters I don't know, and memorize them in advance so I can go through the game and enjoy more of it without having to use a dictionary every couple of seconds. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it if I can use a great game like Tales of Hearts as a method of kanji study!!! So if anyone can point me in the direction of a method of obtaining, or making, a script dump (though the barrier to making one myself I assume may be that I have a mac and not a PC, and so many hacking programs just don't seem to exist for my platform), or if anyone knows of a copy of the game script I can buy (I've seen Japanese games come with artbooks that contained full game scripts before), that would be great. I would be eternally grateful and you could say you helped a pitiable college student in his quest through 4th year Japanese! Thanks
