Is there any way to change units to Metric?

[Mendo Shutaro]

For reasons which are beyond me FF16 displays distances in Yards. Yes, actual Yards. I have no idea how far a yard is, and I say this as a Brit where we inexplicably still have road signs in yards despite nobody actually being taught what imperial is for several decades now.

Other than putting the game into full Japanese, which could be a fun test of my Japanese ability is there any other way to fix this?

Is it possible it goes by your system region?

I'm British and we use a mixture of Imperial and Metric. There is no way you don't know how far a yard is. Do you not have a Driver's License?

Nope, I've no idea how far a yard is. It may as well be in Greek. I was never taught it in school and I've never seen any point in learning such a bizarre and antiquated system.

The UK is almost entirely metric, and has been for decades. The last remaining vestiges are road signs (annoyingly), and when describing someone's height. The former I just don't understand and never have, and the latter I just use metres for.

I switched the game to Japanese and it worked. Maybe it's a change for the better, I could use the listening practice.
