It's kind of interesting that :-

Japaneses read books from back to front.
In many video games they normally have their camera controls in reverse.
They use O as the action button and X to cancel and westerners are use to the reverse.
They have their date structured YYYY/MM/DD

Some Japanese text you still read right to left as well

Another thing when they made Play Station in Japan the O button was for OK and X was for cancel, but for some odd reason when Play Station was released in the US the O button was the cancel and X was for OK... which still doesn't make sense to me lol.

Anyways back to the OP's info most Japanese games you hit left and it will give the maximum number and farthest right to get to minimum (0) so for this same feature it's working as intended imo.

In Japan, O stands for "correct" and X (or a tick) for "incorrect" when grading a test etc, while in western countries, X is usually used to mark something (checkboxes, etc), so my guess is they changed it for that reason.

This is how it's done everywhere lol.

I've never seen a tick being used for marking the wrong answer outside Japan. You also usually use X to select something (=mark it as correct), not O. And they have a triangle to indicate "half-correctness"

Yes, because they read vertical text from right to left. They adopted horizontal writing from the West which is why it reads left to right.

In many video games they normally have their camera controls in reverse.

I've never noticed...

O for Confirm and X for Cancel was the standard layout for both sides of the Pacific till FFVIII. Then for some reason it swapped. I don't understand why it changed or whose idea it was (maybe EA's). On an XInput controller (360 controller) A is "green" and B is "Red" and yet there is no standard. Some games use XO/AB for confirm and Square,Triangle/XY for cancel.

They have their date structured YYYY/MM/DD

U.S. is MM/DD/YYYY
Canada/UK/Everyone else but U.S. uses DD/MM/YYYY or similar.

NONE OF THIS IS RELEVANT!
