I need a seed and an enctitlekey from the same region.
So if i got the seed and the title key from the japanesr region, itd only be in japanese :/
Unless they miraculously gave it the same treatmwnt with robobot and it loads the english version on a us console

If the titlekey is leaked anyone could download it off the cdn and build a cia.
Leaks are looking less and less likely however

The reason why people where playing the "us" release of Kirby months ago its because the japanese version contains miltiple languages just like hyrule warriors.

It works because the NCCH is 100% identical for all regions (like Pokémon) and the seed has already been released in Japan by the time preload starts in the US.

but does the JP version on ZTD have english text/VA?
If you dump the game you will notice the the title ID is CTR-AT3A (A stands for all regions)

We can decrypt and play the preload early with the Japanese seed because the game itself is the same for all regions.

ZTD doesn't share NCCH across regions and the preloads of different versions would require different seeds to decrypt. It seems like Nintendo is streamlining their localization process in preparation of making the NX region free.

hmmm..
so i guess that just leaves me to decide whether i should wait for the game to be uploaded to the us eshop and pay 39.99 usd or 54 usd :S

I guess i'll jsut wait for the 23rd, seeing as it's the last week before the eshop get's updated to be able to buy the game..

Not happening.
All "leaks" are just shitposters

7th Dragon III: Code VFD begs to differ.

Do you have a source on this? I hacked my console mostly to kill the region lock originally (I have a lot of japanese games), and that would be a godsend.

Just guessing, older Nintendo games only contain localization files for their respective regions. But Hyrule Warriors shipped with all languages included inside the RomFS in the JPN release and Planet Robobot has a region free NCCH like the Pokemon games, they are probably working on unifying the releases in preparation for region free consoles in the future.

perfecting it, almost. So that it isn't "brand new" territory when they start out with the NX.

Just because Nintendo does global releases on their own games doesn't mean it will be region free. It's probably just less maintenance to get everything done at once. Doesn't prove anything.

I wasn't proving. I was adding onto his statement on how it's possible.

If they start script translations while the game is still in development, it could mean European players no longer have to wait for months after NA/JP release just for NoE to translate them into many other EU languages as the current system is really unfair for those who just wants to play in English.
