📋 About This Mod
Adds furigana to the Japanese subtitles.

The addon "Phantom Liberty" is not required.
IN VORTEX DISABLE: "Settings -> V2077 Settings -> Automatically convert old-style 'archive' mods...".
Let me start by pointing out what this mod does and what it does not do.
-
[]This mod adds furigana to the subtitles of the game, and only the subtitles.[/]
[]The mod does not add furigana to the user interface.[/]
[]This mod is supposed to be used with only the audio and subtitles being set to Japanese.[/]
[]The user interface is supposed to be set to whatever other language you prefer.[/]
Will this mod support furigana for the user interface in the future?
-
[]No. Adding furigana to the user interface would require far more work beyond what this mod does. CP2077 does not support rendering furigana text so each user interface needs to be modified in order to visualise them. This also means that some elements need to be redesigned (like the translation of Creole).[/]
So your language settings are supposed to look like something like this:
If you have not set up your Japanese audio yet, please follow the steps below.
