If you have the Asian version of the game (not the Japanese, US or EU one) then you can't use Japanese voices. If you don't, but still can't use JP voices, then I suggest you reinstall or repair your install.

Uh, actually, it's the other way around. The Asian version only has the Japanese voiceover.

Japanese audio is available to everyone. Its only english audio that is unavailable to some; the asian region specifically. You should be able to choose english or japanese in the pre-game launcher.

Right-clicking on Properties isn't the correct way to change the language. To change the language, open the game's Launcher. If you've ticked the "Do not show this window again" box on the Launcher before, you can open it manually by browing to <Your Steam directory>\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XIII and opening the ffxiiilauncher.exe. When you've opened the Launcher, go to Sound Settings and change English to Japanese.

This is strange, since I have the EU version (or better, should have, how do I find out?) and I am able to select Japanese in the launcher, which means I can play with Japanese voices and English subtitles.

Edit: Store also says that Japanese is 'Full Audio'.

Originally, the EU/NA version only has English audio and Asia version only has Japanese audio. This's what the store page looked like for both regions back in 2014 https://i.imgur.com/U4ynda8.png

Because of the high demand, the EU/NA version has been patched so it got both English and Japanese audio. https://steamcommunity.com/app/292120/discussions/0/613936673353900563/

On the other hand, the Asia version never get patched. So it still has Japanese audio only.

If you have the option to change language in your launcher, then you certainly own the EU/NA version of the game.

Thank you for the clarification, Phreya!
