English option please

[necrosand]

Bought this bad boy and to my surprise there's no English option, and you can't proceed in the game as it does not accept anything but Japanese characters.

Any advice from developers?

After poking around install directory it seems the entirety of the in game text is only ~37MB or so, so why is this not also offered in English?

[DarkMoS]

You're not supposed to be able to buy it outside of Japan...

[necrosand]

You definitely can and it appears in the store.

I second this for an English release. Looks very good.

All the instructions and commentary are in Japanese...why did you think it would have an English option?

The update post for a patch included both Japanese/English text.
There were no instructions until after I purchased the title.
That is why.

No one seems to be butt hurt but you with your plebian level hardware.

That's because you're using an exploit to bypass the region lock. But regardless of that, it still only lists Japanese as the language for the game.

Top of the store page, bright orange text:

English language not supported
This product does not have support for your local language. Please review the supported language list below before purchasing

So... Maybe buy enough copies yourself to convince the publisher to use Google Translate for you, or something... If you want...

Here, I'll help by Google Translating some random posts from the Japanese community to English for you:

I'll leave the other more than 18,000 pages (~37 MB) of text[www.wisegeek.org] up to you to Google Translate for the rest of the community. What fun! Am I right, or am I right?!?!

I don't think Koei Tecmo will release an English verison, I've played Winning Post 2, 3 ,4, 6 and 7. No English version for either of them...
