I think you need to change your non-Unicode file format or something (as well as set your locale to Japanese as per usual), but it's been a while since I've done it

unfortunately you definitely do need JP for this one since it has text-based puzzles LOL

Here's some footage so you can see how it plays. Not bad at all for something in RPG Maker 2000! You can get it here: w.atwiki.jp/vip_rpg/page...

Recommending Wisdomร—Brave -Itsuwari no Risoukyou- to all Zelda and Ys fans; it's an action-adventure game with the structure and mechanics of the former, combat and atmosphere more reminiscent of the latter, and some fairly original items (a wand that summons boulders!)

I've played Tales of Phantasia (SNES) and believe me this is sadly not as good

I've found it a bit rough to play (nearly every enemy feels like a fighting game boss in hyper mode; half of them have infinites on you in the corner, and all of them have too much health) but it's worth a look

Been going through ancient SNES savefiles containing info uploaded to the XBAND online multiplayer servers at the end of the service in 1997 and I cannot fucking believe I found an early version of this meme here. Is this what the guy who found Tutankhamun felt like?
