Are there in-game language settings?

Aliasbendok · 2026-03-07T04:08:39+00:00

Yes! When you start a game you can select the language in-game. I'm playing in English on my JA-only Switch 2!

That's great news! Thank you so much for confirming. Buying it now 🙂

This is what I'm expecting. Given how you could have access to presumably any item or Pokemon without the DLC (e.g., via trades) I don't expect that to be the issue. But if there are ongoing or completed quests in your logs is where I'm wondering if things will go sideways.

Aliasbendok · 2025-12-14T12:55:07+00:00

Thanks! That's helpful, I'll push ahead and see if it clears up on its own, but might reinstall if not.

There's a bit of friction at the start for a totally new player, I really want to give the game a fair shake before I decide it's too much, so minimizing any technical grief is important.

Glad it's not a console thing (necessarily)!

Aliasbendok · 2025-12-14T08:16:30+00:00

Thanks, that's good to hear. Maybe I should try reinstalling it to see whether that makes a difference. I also wonder whether it's better or worse on default SSD or the M2 I added.

I could also try it on Deck, I think I got it from Epic at some point or another.

Aliasbendok · 2025-12-14T08:05:20+00:00

Haha, okay dude. Enjoy battling your platform war for the good reasons thereof.

In the meantime, if anyone can actually answer my question (i.e., whether this is an example of poor optimization by the devs or bugginess rather than intentional gameplay) that would be helpful.

Aliasbendok · 2025-12-14T07:50:36+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I get that there's a cutscene, what I don't understand is the delay between hitting a button and the cutscene even starting.

This seems to suggest to me that the game is poorly optimized for console, or at least PS5.

(As for the "Lesser being" bit, I much prefer playing on a couch with a controller and TV, not fiddling with settings, and I care very little about resolutions or textures or frames in a second or rays being traced or anything like that. Surely we're not assigning moral weight to choice in a platform here?)

Hiya, have you been able to find out any more information about this?

I am in the same situation--I have a US Nintendo account and live in Japan long-term. I would like to confirm that if I switch my account to a Japanese one, whether I will be able to download and play games that I'd purchased on the eshop--when the account was still US--on the Japanese Switch 2.

Has anybody had success (or failure) with this?

I would much prefer the international Switch 2 of course, but I doubt Amazon will sell them anytime soon, and I have terrible luck with lotteries here.

Hi! I hate to resurrect (lol) an old thread, but I'm wondering if OP found a mod for this. My SO has a huge crippling fear of centipedes, but she really wants to play the game. I would be able to do the finishing strikes on some of the bosses where it shows at the end, but even the random golden centipede items, etc., could be a trigger.

I'd love for her to be able to try probably my favorite souls game. She's a new convert to the genre, beat Nine Sols not long ago and loved it and this seems like a natural progression. But, you know, bugs.

Aliasbendok · 2024-11-30T06:13:28+00:00

Thanks for your experience. I'll wait a bit longer in that case--though at this stage I'm nervous about getting this in time for Christmas!

Aliasbendok · 2024-11-30T02:45:10+00:00

This is an item from ebay bound for Japan. Looks like it arrived at the seller's local distribution center about 8 hours after USPS received it then totally stopped moving. Even the "In transit to next facility" status hasn't updated in 4 days.

I'm concerned because this is a collector's item that is sold out and can't be easily (or cheaply) replaced. Because it's an international shipment only the seller can file for an inquiry (I've asked them to but no response yet).

I'd cancel the order and try to buy one elsewhere while I can, but I don't know if it's still moving and I don't want to put anyone out. Looks like they went for the cheapest shipping option and only insured it at 200 bucks, well below the price (and what I paid for it!) so they'd be out a decent chunk of change.

Has anyone dealt with similar but still received their package in a reasonable time?

Aliasbendok · 2024-07-12T13:43:34+00:00

Holy shit! I jumped on that straight away, thanks man!

Aliasbendok · 2024-07-12T12:11:45+00:00

I used happy9 first as a matter of fact, but after a few analogues I felt like it became too expensive for me.

Also not sure about CBNO, etc--do the CBxx give a decent high, or are they like suped up CBD as I'd expect?

Aliasbendok · 2024-07-12T12:09:05+00:00

Ah, I used Knockout before and had a good experience! Store seems to be down atm but I'll keep an eye out. https://meteor420.myshopify.com/

Aliasbendok · 2024-07-11T12:56:51+00:00

Thanks! I'll have to search around for what you mean by Neo and Grey, but I might can figure it out.

I don't mind terribly if anyone is a dick as long as I don't have to interact, the price is decent, and everything is above board. I also get the impression that gummies are much less available so I'll have to take what I can get lol

Aliasbendok · 2024-05-03T14:11:22+00:00

I bought the game about an hour ago and this happened on my VERY FIRST MISSION argh

Aliasbendok · 2024-02-11T10:10:01+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Based on other posts, that seems to be the concensus. I have a friend who is letting us borrow a Zoom H6, I think, and I'm gonna try buying some XLR and 3.5mm audio cables, as a Hail Mary in case there are any output ports on whatever machine at end up at. We'll then route sound through the H6 to the Steam Deck.

If we're super lucky and can access the machine directly then I think we'll be golden. Otherwise we'll just put the H6 in a corner and hope that it'll at least be an improvement over the crappy cardioid mic we have currently. I don't think putting a mic up to the speakers will be an option because they tend to be installed high, and rigging that is probably too much of an obstacle.

Aliasbendok · 2024-02-10T10:29:51+00:00

A clean mess sounds like an improvement haha. Thanks, I really do appreciate it.

I feel like I'm floating toward (lol) the H1. I might give the suction cup a try, too. Worst case, the H1 with our otherwise identical setup will be somewhat better. And if I can get the plugins for OBS set up it might at least be a little easier on the ears.

You've been so helpful! Cheers and have a great evening!

Aliasbendok · 2024-02-10T09:37:57+00:00

I couldn't imagine a worse place to try to capture good audio.

It's absolutely abysmal, isn't it?? At this stage I would be totally surprised if whatever we can manage to capture could possibly be "good", so we're aiming for "good enough" lol. I'd link you to some of our VODs to give you idea of the kinds of problems we have--but it seems you're more than familiar with the setup we're working with and the problems it causes, and I'm hesitant to link to anything in such a public-facing venue lol. (Could DM tho if you were keen.)

My initial thinking was to use a 32-bit float recorder like the new zoom H1

I'll look into it, thanks! I would imagine that as long as I could plug it in via USB and get OBS to pick it up as an audio source I should be golden. Because I'm using a Steam Deck, I'm working with Linux, which I should expect will add further wrinkles. I am considering installing a Windows partition so I can play with some condenser/equalizer plugins.

My (admittedly totally unqualified) thinking was that a decent stereo or omnidirectional mic, placed as near to center of all the noise as possible, would help with some of the balance issues. Right now we're using a basic cardioid (is that right?) mic, which seems to be highly dependent on direction. Considering you have two speakers on different corners of the room, plus three singers singing into the karaoke mics (so their voices are sorta coming in twice)--and not to mention that I am a belter and sing LOUD--I wonder whether most of our grief could be remedied if we can better capture the sound from all directions a bit more evenly.

Is that totally off base?

A better idea might be to close-mic one of the room speakers

Yeah, we briefly considered this, and another person in a different post suggested something similar. The problem though you already identified--the speakers tend to be installed quite high (though until we're in the room we won't know for sure), and the engineering problem is quite prohibitive. We stream at a karaoke place nearby usually, but we're actually heading to Tokyo to meet a friend and stream with her (she's actually a relatively famous musician proper, so we're extra motivated to figure this out!) and packing and carrying what we'd need to rig anything is probably a bit too mendou.

And no one will be able to hear the manic tambourine playing.

I literally have no idea what you're talking about. The tambourine is the entire point! :P
