A: Locating the Files

Originally when the game was released on Steam, it had Japanese opening and Japanese language. Luckily, Steam archives every update for each game on their servers and it's very easy to restore the required files.

A1. Open up Windows' Run dialog by holding Windows Key and pressing R.

A2. Type the following command into the box.

steam://nav/console

A3. "Console" should appear next to your profile name in Steam's main window.

A4. Click "Console" and type the following command into the console's box below and press enter.

download_depot 351970 351971 2679023772433327385

A5. This should start downloading the oldest update where the required files are.

IMPORTANT
This can take up to several minutes or even hours. Please do not close the window or click store, profile etc. until the download has been completed.

A6. A message will be shown once the download has been completed.

Depot download complete : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_351970\depot_351971" (67 files, manifest 2679023772433327385)

B: Japanese Opening

B1. Once you have done all the steps in section A, you should be able to find the Japanese opening file (AM_TOZ_OP_001_JPN.bk2) in the directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_351970\depot_351971\RAW\MOVIE

B2. Move this file to where you have actually installed the game and place it in the correct directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Tales of Zestiria\RAW\MOVIE

B3. To change the opening video, you need to install Kaldaien's TZFix:
https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=542500356

B4. Once you have installed TZFix, launch its configuration window (TZT.exe)

B5. Click on "Graphics" -tab and click "Change Intro Video", then locate AM_TOZ_OP_001_JPN.bk2 and click save.

B6. Launch the game. The opening video should play before the title screen if you have already played the prologue chapter.

C: Japanese Language

C1. Once you have done all the steps in section A, you should be able to find the graphical elements for Japanese language (JPN folder) in the directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_351970\depot_351971\LANG

C2. Move this folder to where you have actually installed the game and place it in the correct directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Tales of Zestiria\LANG

C3. Close Steam.

IMPORTANT
The next step won't work if Steam is still running in the background.

C4. Open Steam's configuration file for Tales of Zestiria (appmanifest_351970.acf) in Notepad. It should be located in the directory before the game:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps

C5. Scroll down until you see UserConfig and MountedConfig. Change the language into Japanese and save the file.

"UserConfig" { "language" "japanese" } "MountedConfig" { "language" "japanese" }

C6. Launch Steam and then the game. If you did everything correctly, you should see the text テイルズオブゼスティリア underneath the logo. If you own Alisha's Story DLC, it should be displayed as Alisha After Episode.

Thanks! It works on the steam deck too. I wish I knew this before I decided to get a digital japanese copy of this game on ps4.

@Ardox

Again, I have no idea what you're trying to say here. When you start the game, you can choose between English or Japanese voice acting. What this guide shows, is that you can have the text in Japanese as well.

Solo es cambiar al lenguaje japones?

Make [author] 18 Jan, 2023 @ 4:16am

@Ardox

I'm sorry, but I can't understand you. The difference between English and Japanese should be as clear as night and day.

Ardox 17 Jan, 2023 @ 2:30pm

creo que falto mostrar la diferencia del antes y después porque no me quedo claro que cambia...
