Does Picking Japan As Your Region Give You Uncensored Cards?
Since there is already an option for in game text to be English, does that mean the region select might determine the card arts you get (while still keeping the game as English)?

♥♥♥♥ I wish I'd thought of that to check.

If the game is based on the TCG I doubt it would.

No. If you want to have "Uncensored Cards" you need to have Japan region in your Konami ID (Account). Region in game has nothing to do with Japanese content (Uncensored Cards). IF this game has "Uncensored Content"

you need to choose japan language and region if you want to use the japan art, having only region or language on japan wont change the art

Doesnt seem you need konami id, you can try by creating another steam acc.

I think konami id is just for transfering/linking data between account since it seem game data is linked to platform account like your ps acc or steam acc by default.

It will not work on Duel Links. Even if you have Region: Japan and Japanese Language, you will not get Original Artworks on Steam. You need to have "Region: Japan" in your konami ID account.

We can test it. I will change language and let's see, will I get Original Artwork without Konami ID Account. 5.30 GB: My friends asked the same qs about "Uncensored Cards".

My friend changed only language: it did not work :cleanseal: let's see if it works with the same region

Oof. Konami couldn't let players have the original artwork with any trace of English in there.

What do you mean by censor? Like the original artwork is lewder or what? However, I did notice that monster reborn art is different than the one I used to see in the anime.

What exactly did you do?
I have my game set to japanese, inside steam settings I also changed to japanese and I used a JP region Konami ID, then cleared cache and re-downloaded the game and still can't see original art

Region: Japan, Language: Japanese
I think You can not change your region. Only one time change.
Uncensored Cards ~ 300 mb size.

I launched the game but was only able to set language to Japanese.
So you can choose your region after hitting game start, right?
I want to play with the original art style and I heard it is an only-once setting without redemption, so I want to be 100% sure I make the right choice.

If you pick Japan as a region, you can play with both versions: eng and jp. Rename your data folder with "_" from steamapps\common\Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel\LocalData and you will not need to re-download it

You need to have "Japan" region and "Japanese" language if you want to see "Uncensored Cards"
