"This game only supports Japanese interface/voice for customers in Japan" --> WHY?

[indotoonster]

I was about to pre-order this game and then saw a notice on the store page that stated:
"Notice: This game only supports Japanese interface/voice for customers in Japan."
(I guess you'll only see this message if you're located in Japan).
I don't understand why would they do this? I'd like the option to play it in English. I will definitely not be buying it in light of this. Does anyone know if there is a workaround?

You can play it in English. All it's saying is that the Japanese language setting is only available for people in Japan, likely due to licensing for voice acting.

Sorry, I should have clarified: I am based in Japan. So this definitely affects me.
I want to play the game with the original voice acting (Troy Baker, Ashley Johnson).

just change it to english. it is not gonna be only japanese voice and interface.
or you don't want japanese voice added?
you can buy it on fanatical site for ¥5,310. maybe no japanese / english only.

＊This game supports only Japanese or English language interface/voice for customers in Japan.

you can buy the key on 3rd party site. Just make sure the key region for unlocking.

I once see the playthrough of the Japanese version, I just find it funny they call Joel as Joeru, instead of just Joel
