You know those urban myths about people who get something embarassing tattooed on their body in a language they didn't understand? I think we're about to get a verified sighting...

<cough>

Um. I mean: &#12354;&#12411;
 
Uhhh...

Very strange... :\

Regardless, it's nothing special in Japanese and is simply:

Gettin' a tattoo on my leg -

how do you write "Final Fantasy" with chinese and/or Japanese letters?

according to Taiwanese gaming mags, it's "Space Warrior".

(unless you meant a literal translation)
 
Tattoo=cool points+1
in a language you don't understand=cool points -2
FREAKING VIDEO GAME RELATED =cool points - 100

dark10x is close, but there's an embarassing typo in there! This is what you want: &#12450;&#12490;&#12523;&#12501;&#12449;&#12531;&#12479;&#12472;&#12540;
 
The Japanese title is ugly, just katakana for Fainaru Fantashii. The Chinese title that you see on bootleg soundtracks is possibly not official and I doubt that a Japanese person would read it as Final Fantasy anyway. The first letter would be read "dai" or "tai". IIRC, I translated the kanji once and in Japanese it meant something like "great hopeless warrior".

Why not just tattoo the regular logo if that's what you want? It's way more stylish than a katakana and/or kanji translation.

Actually, in HK and Taiwan, Final Fantasy is known as "Tai Kong Zhan Shi" which means Space Warrior. I have no idea how this originated but that's what the entire series is known as in chinese. Therefore I suggest you forget about chinese and just go with the japanese, have fun tattooing a bunch of katakana on yourself though, that's gotta hurt. :lol

Traditional Chinese for "Final Fantasy"

Good luck, though I don't see why you would get a game tattoo
 
I had to break it to a girl at my old bar that the tattoo she got did not say "gorgeous" on her arm. And somehow it was my fault...
 
...maybe look for it on a japanese final fantasy website. I dunno if your gonna find it in Kanji/Chinese though. Possibly katakana.
 
Awesome buddy christ posted Idiot Idiot man from teh best show to come from the far east- Downtown. It's a really old clip though.

As for Final Fantasy in japanese , it's written in katakana right beneath the english logo on every single japanese coverart for every game in the series so just have a look see, also I think it'd make a bad tattoo.
