Hi!
Thank you so much for such extraordinary work, guys!
I took advantage of the winter Steam sales to get a digital copy of the game. Still, I was also pondering buying the Japanese International version and trying to apply the whole package of mods to it as well. Yes, I have a certain degree of proficiency in Japanese and I'd like to play the game in its original script.
Surfing on the Japanese Google, all I found were a couple of blog articles explaining a quite long procedure to ready the game, substituting the original files with the mod files one by one.

To put it in brief, it seems the mods are compatible only with the digital version you can buy from the Japanese Square Enix Store, which includes JP, EN, ES, FR, DE, and is also on sale at the moment.

Any attempt to use the 7th Heaven Mod Manager will eventually launch the English version, and the Microsoft Store version is reported to be unmanageable because the installation folder gets "encrypted", they say.
Do you think this can be easily solved by copying the whole installation folder into a different directory, exactly as 7th Heaven asks you to do when installing the mods for the first time? I know you have not tried yet anything on the Microsoft Store version, but I thought somebody may have done some testing and reported to you the results these days.
If I am not mistaken, one of your team members is Japanese, so I am struggling a bit to realize the mod package is still not compatible with the Japanese PC version of the game.
I wanted to ask you whether this is still the case, or if some improvements or testing work have been made in order to launch the mods with the Japanese script.
The sales on the SE-Store end on January 5th. It would be great to take the chance to buy the game and play it with the enhanced graphics you have tailored in the minimum details.
