    Am I crazy or does that screenshot have Japan in it? Why would a Japanese company ban a game about Japan in Japan?

        Yes, for some reason Japanese games often have a separate package on steam which includes Japanese.

          It’s probably just hard to include both character sets since the game was originally made in English with specific programming for Roman lettering. Same thing with GTA V. Any Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters just turned into squares.

            It’s possible, but I doubt that is a problem these days with Unicode.

            Someone mentioned something about copyright for the Japanese voice actors. That seems odd too, but it seems plausible.
