Change to japanese launguage
Hello, I have already played through Dragon Quest once on Playstation. I bought the Definitve Edition on Steam and now wanted to play this Game in Japanese. However, there is a problem. I can change the language to Japanese via Steam option but everthing remains in English. I'm from Germany and I'm not sure if it's because of a PAL version or somthing like that. The following languages are selectable : English, German, French, Italian, Korean, Spain, Simplified/Traditional Chinese and Japanese. When I select Korean, everything is displayed in Korean including the script but when I select Japanese, still remains in English. I've verified the gamefiles for errors and even reinstalled it. Does anyone else have this porblem?

Take a look at the store page. This build of the game does not have Japanese interface or subtitles.

Very sad because this game is from Japan.

Yeah, it's an absolute scam. There's a mod to put Japanese text in the game ( https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonquestxisdefinitiveedition/mods/78 ) but it's not 100% complete (in particular, text in 2-D mode is completely broken, 2-D mode menus are untranslated, you still see the English localized names in battle and certain menus even in 3-D mode, and a lot of things that are saved as images are still in English).

There's no way to get the Japanese version without buying it in Japan. Really damn stupid.

What? There is no Japanese voice? Wow, I was willing to play the game without Portuguese subtitles (since late 2000s rarely AAA games come to Brazil without Portuguese), but without the original language I totally pass. Better try the 3DS version on RetroArch.

It has Japanese audio. It just doesn't have Japanese text.

Oh, my mistake. Thank you.
The reason why they do this is because so they can price gouge their crap in their Japanese homeland.

Discounts and deals are more common outside of Japan than inside Japan, can't have their own people "reverse importing" after all.

Also, the english dub is the "original language" as far as dubs go, as the original Japanese game never had a dub. But yes, this game features both audios lol

People considering the ENglish dub is the "original language" as if that somehow in itself elevates its value is probably a good way to gauge who are the dub peasants. If the translation, sorry, lolcowlization is faithful, then they might have a point, but it's very obviously not. Only 1 out of 8 party member kept their Japanese name lmao.

The Japanese use the same store on Steam as ours?

FYI.

PC Game Pass version provides you full japanese experience. By changing windows' locale to Japan before launching the game.

Will this mod prevent steam achievements? I've heard that's an issue with some games but I'm not into mods at all so I'm not sure :^)

There's very few games where it'll happen. Those games will be ones where mod support is built in. For the majority of games, the achievement has no way of knowing mods are a thing.

There's actually quite a few games only have Japanese voices/interface for customers in Japan. I assume there's some sort of strange labour laws they have that prevent some language stuff from being available internationally.
