I have run the game in Japanese locale with each attempt. I am not unaccustomed to the nonintuitive nature of these sorts of games.
Warning! Bad English ahead!
Hello everynyan!
I am writing how I managed to run this prehistoric crap on Windows 11 24h2.
1)Changed the locale to Japanese.
2)Downloaded and installed DirectX 9.0c from here
2.1)Downloaded and installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 (x86 and x64) from here
2.2)Downloaded and installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (x86 and x64) from here
2.3)Downloaded and installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (x86 and x64) from here
3)Enabled .NET Framework 3.5 and DirectPlay in Windows features.
4)Downloaded, unpacked the RapeLay archive using 7-zip.
5) Mounted the image and installed the game in a previously manually created folder C:\Illusion\RapeLay
6) In the game folder, in the properties of the shortcut (RapeLay English.exe) enabled compatibility with Windows 7.
7) Downloaded and copied to the game folder (where RapePlay English.exe is located) DLL from DXVK (x32 folder, d3d9.dll)
8) At this stage, you can already play, BUT I WANT SUBTITLES!
9) In this case, in the properties of the previously copied DXVK DLL, change the name from d3d9.dll to d3d9_alt.dll
10) Download the archive from here https://f95zone.to/threads/rapelay-final-illusion.3115/post-15454366
and unpack it.
11) Copy to the game folder ONLY (d3d9.dll, Subtitle.cfg, subtitles.txt).
12) Launch RapeLay English.exe and select CFG button in the window.
13) In the Subtitles column, click add files and select subtitles.txt in our game folder
14) Using the Up button, raise our subtitles.txt to the top and save.
15) Now we always launch the game through RapeLay English.exe and select Subs button in the window.
16) That's it, I hope this will help some faded soul launch this game.

The genius we don't deserve.
But it's easier, as I said, to not think about the existence of a piece of shit like Win11
