Ow, no! My Japanese is getting too good to keep playing games!

After a long and sad time without a TV, I finally manage to get one and turn my playstation on this year. I put persona 4 in there and started to play it.
The last time I was playing it was awesome. Every word was new. Every kanji had a new reading. Every expression had to be decifered. The game skills, items, moves, options? They were incomprehensible.

Now I can understand pretty much everything. Even the curvy balls like 何処 are not so curvy anymore.

So my question is. Does anki + massive listening for fun rip off the challenge from language learning?

Btw, I'm almost giving up on French. It's so hard! Japanese is so comfy!
