Kingdom Hearts Japanese Version Re-download Annoyance

[Jermaine Dupri]

Needing to re-download the game to switch between languages is annoying as hell and eats up a TON of data sooo.....

Here is how I "fixed" the ANNOYING issue of needing to re-download the game to switch between the English Version (to play with my girlfriend) and the Japanese Version (to study Japanese with myself)

-> I went to the steamapps/common/ folder and renamed the version I had downloaded to something like, "KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX-E" for the English version
-> Then I switched the game to Japanese prompting the game to redownload the game files in Japanese
-> I now have a normal named Japanese game file version titled, "KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX-"
-> Whenever I want to switch to the English version I just change the Japanese version from, "KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX-" to, "KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX-J" (adding the J to then end)
-> And then rename the English version to omit the E at the end to just read as, "KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX-"

This has saved both of my gameplay files (as of about 20 seconds into both games) and allows me to have both versions downloaded on my PC and can easily switch between them by altering the game file name as I stated above

I've even seen ways you can automate this online, but this is simple enough for me I dont mind

HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE!!

I'm sure some weebs not looking for entire language switching, only using JP dub while using the EN game resource sub

I swear...
Language options NEED to be a DLC.
Install in preferred language, download optional ones.
It's literally how the Pirates got older games down to 20gigs or less.

そんなにうまいとは言えないじゃが
せめて日常生活の話なら喋れる
っていうかその「日本語上手」なんか私にはもう褒め言葉じゃねぇ、ただ皮肉褒め言葉しか聞こえねぇ

Before people complained about games not being in English....now they complain about it not being in Japanese?

Someone might find this useful, just glad its on Steam finally and in English

This is stupid logic tbh. Did you seriously think, out of millions of gamer, the people who complained about games not being in English and people who complain about it not being in Japanese are exact same person?

Not saying that they should not be grateful that its on Steam, but your logic for defending it are stupid.
