TGAA Japanese Subtitles Patch for Worldwide Version [Mod]

This guide will instruct you on how to use this patch mod for "The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles" that adds Japanese subtitles back in game for the worldwide version. Enjoy!

What is this Mod?

This is a patch mod for "The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles" that adds Japanese subtitles back in game for the worldwide version, since there's no option to play in Japanese text language in this version of the game (you only can switch to JP audio). It's only exclusive to the JP/Asia version on Steam. This mod is for Japanese players living outside of Japan also can enjoy the game in their native language! And for those who simply want to experience the game in JP texts form as well.

The Asia(JP) / Worldwide(WW) versions situation

The situation is really weird and confusing. But basically, "The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles" has two different versions for some Asia region players (Asia / JP) and worldwide players (WW). And this is the reason that cause so many people bought the wrong version without realizing it's a worldwide version.

According SteamDB, people those who directly buy TGAA on Steam in specified Asian countries & regions will get the JP sub package version. And the option to switch Japanese subtitles is available in this version. On the other hand, people in other countries & regions will get the WW sub package version instead which isn't including Japanese text subtitles, only English text & audio and Japanese audio are available. (If you choose to buy the game in digital retail stores such as Fanatical or GameBillet, the key code they offer you is also worldwide version).

You can check the rest of it in this post I wrote to address this whole issue.

The size of this mod is around 500 MB. Special thanks to Steam user Mikiya for helping me by offering some JP assets to make this happen! It contains all the necessary files that I organized in order to adding the JP subtitles back.

How to use it? You just simply move the "nativeDX11x64" folder and "TGAAC.exe" from the patch to the main game folder. And there you go! The game should be showing Japanese texts correctly. Enjoy your game!

If you encounter any problems, or the game gets updated make the patch is not working, please leave a reply to let me know, thank you!

Mod使用方法中文說明：
相當簡單，基本上就是把壓縮檔中的 "nativeDX11x64"資料夾以及"TGAAC.exe"覆蓋到遊戲根目錄即可。順帶一提，因為不確定說特典DLC未來會不會分開獨立發售，所以我分成了兩種Patch提供下載，一個是主遊戲+包含DLC日文字幕的（上方第一個下載網址）、另一個則是只有主遊戲的（上方第二個下載網址）。如有遇上任何問題，可在底下留言跟我反映，非常感謝～！

Notice: This mod is for only purpose of giving the game owners the choice to add the Japanese subtitles back in their legit game copies. The files in the patch folder ONLY contains JP subtitles related. Please don't misunderstand it as a way to get a full pirated game. Thank you!

Mod doesn't seem to work for me.

Have already completed the game once in English and want to try it to help me learn Jap. I've tried installing both versions but I keep on getting the same error.

Adding the extra files seems fine but whenever I try to use the given .exe, it opens for a moment but closes after about 3 seconds.

Thank you so much for this!! I bought this thinking I would be able to swap to Japanese text and was really worried when I started searching about it online. I bought this almost solely to play in Japanese, so this mod has really saved me, thank you!

Has anyone gotten text hooking to work with the mod?

您好，我覆盖文件后通过steam运行会出现“Shader compile failed. custom_shaders/CustomShaderPackage”的报错，有dlc和无dlc的两版本都试了都有这个报错，这个是为啥呢

抱歉是我瞎，要在设置自己调

其他区买的，看简介应该是全球版，用不了这个补丁吗，我试了发现游戏还是全英文，除了开头有日文的法律提示

成功了，原來要透過 STEAM 啟動

兩種版本都會發生這個情形。
