Came across an N1 grammar point (ともあろう者が) in Lunar Eternal Blue

I was playing Lunar Eternal Blue today and noticed this line.

This uses ともあろう者が, which is listed as a JLPT N1 grammar point. It was interesting to see it appear naturally in a game rather than in a textbook example.

Moments like this have made me feel that exposure and volume matter a lot for N1 preparation. Whether it’s games, novels, news, or other native material, encountering grammar repeatedly in context seems to help it stick more naturally than studying isolated sentences alone.

Experiences like this have gradually made me feel that how you study for N1 may matter less than how much Japanese you are exposed to. Whether it’s games, novels, news, videos, or conversations, as long as you’re doing a lot of it and it’s genuinely in Japanese, you’ll keep encountering advanced grammar and vocabulary in real contexts.
