Since i read through this Thread and noticing many people seems like to have problems not seeing any texts from this (and probably from other japanese games) i like to share a few tips how to "fix" this. Im also aware there is probably already somewhere a guide for this, but i put here just in case. And yes i know its an old thread

1. A working game
2. Have the Locale Emulator (also known as LEGUI Global). Need to download it first and install it into a folder.
2.1. If you already have your PC set to japanese region you probably dnt need it (cant confirm if its works though)
