Planning to do a Master’s in Japan and possibly enter the game industry afterwards — looking for realistic advice

Hello Everyone!

I’m from India and I recently completed a 3-year Multimedia & Animation degree from VIT Vellore. I want to pursue a career in the game industry — mainly in areas like game design, level design, environment design or UI/UXrather than hardcore programming, since I’m not from a CS background.

As of now, my plan is to take a year and seriously study to complete atleast N3 to N2 in JLPT then apply for a masters degree in a Japanese University.

I wanted to ask a few things from people who have experience studying or working in Japan:

1. Does this sound like a realistic pathway into the Japanese game industry for an international student?
2. How difficult is it for foreigners to get game-related jobs in Japan after a Master’s?
3. Is JLPT N3 (and eventually N2 before my course completion in Japan) usually enough for design-oriented roles, or is near-native Japanese expected?
4. Would I still be at a disadvantage coming from a multimedia background instead of computer science?

Thank you for taking the time to read so far!
