Can this be played in Japanese?

[Cracked Cup]

Just want to make sure whether or not it can before I purchase it. And by Japanese, I mean text and audio. Not just the audio.

japan isnt real just like Atlantis

You'd need to be based in Japan, the game is region locked and localized to the country where you live.

Yes.
The game features japanese as a selectable option (as that is its original language).
So as you said Japanese-dub + Japanese-text it has exactly what you want.

What does not work out of the box would be selecting different audio and text independently, but this is what the mod UnX enables.

J-A-P is a slur in german you know? To be hateful towards Japanese.

First - no it ain't. Second - who cares? Potato, vegtable - why are those not censored then?
If you think it is a good idea to censor something cause at some point in the distant past (like the time of your grandparents) in some parts of the world it was used as an insult - yeah then you better stop breathing cause that might be an insult to somebody.

I think there's a patch that allows japanese audio. The japanese audio is in the game files but you can't use it in-game, but I think the patch allows it. Not sure which one it is though.

Some say yes, some say no. HOW do you select J a panese audio? I'm playing it right now and don't see the option anywhere. You can select the text language in the launcher, but nowhere do I see any way to change the language of the voicing. Which is sad because the English voice dub is absolutely horrid.

As i already said: The game only has 1 !!! language option to control everything.
When you select "japanese" it is for BOTH - everything is japanese now.
Other languages like German have german text but use the english audio.

Seriously ...
There was the person that simply lied about this, and you even saw the answers and the option and didn't think that maybe changing the language would workd ( as both the game and the forums told you it would )

Well...my japanese is a bit rusty, but running it in Japanese might be better. The English voice dubbing is truly horrid....

If you want to split voice and audio language, you can - you just need the UnX mod[wiki.special-k.info] to do so. And getting that might be a good idea anyway, since it has a lot of technical QoL stuff, too.

Without the mod, you can select language in the launcher, and that will change BOTH text AND audio to whatever you select (though I think audio is limited to EN and JP other languages will default to EN audio).

I tried it, but it causes the game to crash on startup. I wonder if it's out of date or otherwise not compatible with the current version?

what caused a crash? Changing the language or UnX? Cause both work with the current game-version.
If you got a crash just from switching the language you should verify file-integrity, if it is from UnX then you might want to use the stable-release and not the latest version (and check that you actually got it from the right source and followed the install-instruction and not some reddit-post).

[Ook]

I got it working - finally. I had to use an older version to get the game to run without crashing. And TAADAA Japanese voice, English text!!! The OSD won't appear - in fact none of the key combos work. But at least I got the audio I wanted. Seriously - the English voicing is really horrid.

Download the Untitled Project X mod to use Japanese voices with English text and UI.

And yes, j-a-p is indeed a slur against Japanese people. If you want a shorthand to refer to Japanese things, the accepted one is "jpn", or even just "jp"
