    Change languages on the fly?

    I'm new. (PC Version)

    Is it possible to change languages as you play, with a bind/macro?

    I'm studying Japanese. I would like to switch as I'm playing (back/forth) between English/Japanese so I can do some studying.

    Anyway to do this? (without exiting the game)

    Thanks.

    As far as I know, you'll need to return to the launcher and change language settings there. I think only the cutscene language can be changed on the fly. Not 100% sure though; haven't tried for a while.

    I'd personally like this too (I need to practice my Japanese as well) but, yeah, only the cutscene language can be changed on the fly. Changing the in-game text requires you to do it through the launcher.

    This would be correct. To change in-game text, you need to change the launcher language to your language of choice. Changing cutscene dialogue language is an in-game option.

    On the same topic, is there a better way to change input language on the fly?

    Currently I think if you are on full screen mode you need to exit full screen and change the IME in order to change input language.

    I just use shift-tab and alt-shift for all my IME swapping needs... There's a small chance you may need to be in windowed (borderless or otherwise) to do that, though, not sure.

    I also use this... the set-up is tad different but same results. I play full-screen by the way.
