This patch allows you to play Xenoblade Chronicles 2 with the original Japanese names.

• What this is for: Replacing the primary character and place names with the original Japanese ones.​
• What it's not for: Fixing the heavy localization or changing every single NPC and landmark back.​

The focus is on fictional names used in the base game and DLC (excluding TGC), so any names with kanji will remain untouched. Likewise if the localization was mostly the same (Vandam/Vandham, Elpis/Elpys), it was not replaced.

Installation

For this patch to work you must place the files into any installed DLC_ID folder for it to work. See here for a list of all possible ID's.

For a modded Switch:

• Extract the zip to your SD card /atmosphere/contents/{DLC_ID}/(files here)​
• You should get something like /atmosphere/contents/0100E95004039003/romfs/dbat/gb/*.dbat​
• Ensure sure you have LayeredFS enabled when playing the game. You should see "Torna" translated to "Iira" on the Menu Screen.

For Yuzu:

• Extract to system folder of /yuzu/load/{DLC_ID}/{Whatever name you want}/(files go here)​
• You may have to remove and reinstall all DLC and updates for it to work on newer Yuzu builds.
• The mod will not show up in the Yuzu UI because it's not under the main game ID.

For Ryujinx:

• Download the zip and extract to system folder of /mods/contents/{DLC_ID}/(file here)​

Notes:

• The patch is 100% working and playable on base game and its DLC - tested on v2.0.2 and v2.1.0 of XBC2, modded Switch and Yuzu.
• However there are a fair number of bugs found with Mor Ardain and character names.

Screenshots

Known issues

• On the menu screen where it says "Swap to X" the names will often be cut off early (e.g. "Swap to Homur") due to the layout being pixel perfect.
• TGC has the names translated in the menus but not in the dialogue.
