📋 About This Mod
This mod uses the translation made by yu_eriyama. I used the Cindy Text Editor which was originally created for the Polish Fan Translation. This mod would not have been made without these two. This is a fan made project, so it by no means is perfect.
The translation covers the main story + all episodes. Only some side quests, camps, and overworld dialogue were translated so many still use the original English subtitles. Some characters in the Japanese version had different characterization as opposed to the English version.
The mod needs to overwrite the original file, so make sure to back it up in a safe place in case you want to use the original English subtitles again.
In order to install the mod, all you need to do is go to (Or wherever your FFXV directory is located)
...\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XV\datas\common
Replace "fontandmessage.earc" with the new version.
This mod replaces the game's English subtitles with ones that match the Japanese voice-over, fixing the mismatch where English subtitles appear even when Japanese audio is selected. A quality-of-life fix for players using the Japanese dub, with 100 endorsements and last updated in March 2023.
