The JP localization files don't exist in the international version, simple as that. So no ini tweaks will do this for you.

As you know, there is a mod to get Japanese, but it does not support furigana.

For what you're wanting, you'll need to refund the international version you bought, "move to Japan" and add a Japanese payment method, then change your region in Steam, then purchase the game again to get the Japanese version.

(Obviously, the latter is a pretty tall order, so the mod might be your best option, even if it doesn't have furigana)

I live in japan but what i did is i bought it from GMG with a non-japanese payment method and it activated fine. Everything else you said was correct.

Well after you move to Japan- you'll add your Japanese payment method and your billing address in Japan. When you go to purchase the game, it should set your region to JP, so you'll end up with the JP version of the game.

Or you can try what chopperdave suggested above.

And ofc the mod without furigana exists if you don't want to move to Japan and can live without furigana: https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonquestxisdefinitiveedition/mods/78
