I'll send you a DM then. I co-host a DQ Podcast & am in a dozen or so different DQ servers, at least 4 of which started with the premise of translating & or modding. I did share this to one the other day which sparked a brief discussion.
Sadly, I wasn't good enough to get that running (didn't understand the command line wording) so didn't get it to work. That's awesome you figured it out though.
Turned off the DLC, and playing just fine. Thanks OP!
While I'd like the believe that's true, it'd not have been advertised or been covered much. It'd have "undersold" and some jerk would've said "this is why we don't release them in the West." DQ is DQ and Squeenix has long since given up on this subset of the series.
