I don't see why people have so much trouble just staying with Japanese Locale 24/7, everything works exactly the same as it usually would here; games, servers and tools. No exception in a year. Only problems are some errors showing in Japanese and the backslash \ key showing as the yen symbol ¥ instead sometimes. What make you guys so reluctant at doing so?

You could try with AGTH or TA maybe? I remember reading they could force the locale into the game somewhere, though they might just be running Applocale to do so. (I reconfirm CCCP Default work just neatly, still no problem up to Ch8)

@invictus
Might be just you, first and second files took two minutes to download here. I don't know about the others though, I used a torrent for it.

It's doesn't make problems if you use an accentless language, but try a little with some software in french, on a windows set in japanese, you will have a lot of fun (and change the setting back in your language really soon ^^)

I used these mediafire links in my installation. They also contain the expansions.

@Joranat

I am french, my windows is in French even. Still no problem at all here, all accents show up just as they should be. =P

I've only had a few problems with Japanese locale, and those mainly on the old XP.

Like Java Updates, and ACER backup, which showed in Japanese instead of English with no way to change that (it would not be pleasant to hit the wrong options in backup...). An external dvd-rw which refused to work at all. And a few encrypted external harddrives I had bought that refused as well.
At least on Win7 Java shows up in English, haven't tried/bumbed into the others yet...

Can somebody please upload a walktrough for this game? and can somebody please upload a trainer for this game? whis it exit a trainer for Kamidori Alchemy Meister.

The game doesn't really require a walkthrough, but you should be able to find mostly what you need on here. The Routes requirements are on the very first post.

As for a trainer, I know there is a japanese trainer lying somewhere and it should work with the english patched version.
EDIT : I did a quick search and it was enough to find it.. Uploaded on Mediafire. You'll have to play with it a bit to guess what does what though, be cautious.. I still suggest not to use it since the game is rather easy.

Started this three days ago. 30 hours in. Still on chapter 3.

Help.

@bern : try this http://www44.atwiki.jp/kamidori/pages/56.html
try to do all the events listed there and you should be okay to proceed the chapter

Remember to get your workshop fully upgraded as well.

Also check the info menu for quests and missions to do, help to see what's left to do.

Oh not that kind of help. Just moving through the chapters isn't exactly rocket science.

I meant the "ok just one more map oh look new baddies goodness me that dragon is like ten levels above me better stay away ok done let me check the bestiary hmm I'm missing some loot from that critter I'll just kill a few more phew had to plow through a thousand of them but I got it hey that dragon is only five levels away now I maybe I can beat it now ok took me a dozen tries but I did it NO EFFING WAY I'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR SIX EFFING HOURS I HAVE TO GET UP IN THREE" kind of help.

Worth noting that there are several known issues even with 7 when using japanese locale. Many programs will, for example, immediately default to japanese language rendering their UI effectively useless. Usage of yen symbol instead of backslash can also cause problems to some older software.

Finally if you use japanese locale, you will most likely have problems displaying other non-latin typesets (cyrillic, hebrew, arabic...)

7 is a massive improvement over XP, which was a massive improvement over 16-bit DOS based OS line in terms of regional and language options though.


Lastly if you have problems with download speed of the game, there is a pretty fast torrent available here: http://sukebei.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=46273
You can also try alternate links for both game and patch files found here: http://erogedownload.com/downloads/kamidori-alchemy-meister/#more-3608

That's the stupid thing, none of them have any problems with the logo and the opening, but the battle animations also are small videos and the game hangs during them.


"ÁÀÂÃÇ" show up just fine over here.

Thanks for the torrent, it seems to include everything for lazy people like me.

A lot of direct download sites don't work for me. Mediafire is one of the good one that let me download.
However, the one in first post give me "loading ..." message forever. Not sure why.
So thanks for pointing out the torrent.
