yes i did, since this game is in Japanese.
I'm going to ask just in case, sorry ahead of time if it doesn't apply.
Do you know that Japanese locale (what a wide variety of JP games require to play) and Japanese display language (what very few JP games require to play) are two different things?
A quick way to tell if your system is in one or the other is:
When you went into the menu to switch was it on the fourth tab (locale)? or the third tab(display language)?
When you switched language did you have to restart (locale)? Or did your computer just log off (display language)?
Finally does your menus look like this:
If not, you're not in Japanese display language.
This game, so that the text appears correctly, requires that not only your locale but also your display language to be in Japanese.
