Isn't that, like, the opposite of historical accuracy?

depends. It can go historically accurate, or it can just end up with the otomo taking over the world.

The person supporting regenerating health, when asked why you can see when shot in the eye justified it as 'you put on an eyepatch'. When asked what happens when you are then shot in the other eye, he said that you put an eyepatch on that eye. When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.

Parts of it range from believable to SHAMFURI inaccurate.

Besides, if you want to LEARN more about Japanese culture , you'll probably want to game that doesn't take much to get into.

Taito released a bunch of sim life games; a good number of them were never ported to the U.S. I do remember some games like the Bakushou Jinsei Gekijou series were easily to understand (for someone with elementary level Japanese) as they only used simple characters. It is a Famicon/SuperFamicon game though.

I think Taikou Risshiden might fit better; Koei does a decent job on historical sims (As long as they don't have the word "Dynasty" in them).

Sword of the Samurai.

I was going to post this the moment the OP started this thread, but I thought that a classroom might not want to make choices based on massacring bandits, collecting heads, and commiting suicide so that an heir can take over.

Then again, I didn't ask what kind of school it is.

The only things i can think of is Shogun Total War 1 and 2.

there is a strategy game called Takeda thats set in japa but i can't say much about it or any educational value it might have.

Oh and there is a Japan themes Mount & Blade mod.

Because to this, I cannot help but think that you want games about Japa.
