Another Eden Begins Japanese & Language

Japanese is one of only two languages with full voice acting in Another Eden Begins — the other is English. The game supports five interface and subtitle languages, but if you want to hear the characters rather than read them, your options are English and Japanese.

That distinction is the thing most people actually want to know, and it is easy to miss: the store listings show five languages in one list, and the audio column is the one that matters.

Language support, in full

Sources: Steam and Nintendo store listings, which agree on the language set (double-sourced). Nintendo's own listing names the set as Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and American English.

The practical read: Chinese and Korean players get a fully localised read but English or Japanese voices. Japanese players — and anyone who wants the original-language dub — get both.

How to actually switch

This is the part that catches people out, because the setting is not in the in-game options menu. It lives on the title screen:

1. Get to the title screen — you will know it because it shows four options.
2. Choose the second option.
3. In that menu, the first item is the text language — scroll to Japanese (or English).
4. The second item is the voice language — set this separately if you want a different audio track.

Because text and voice are two separate settings, you can in principle run Japanese voices with English text (or the reverse). We have not verified every combination on every platform, so treat that as expected behaviour rather than a tested guarantee (to confirm).

The same title-screen menu is where the demo's language is fixed — see the demo language fix if your demo booted in the wrong language.

The Japanese side of the production

Another Eden Begins comes from a Japanese studio, WRIGHT FLYER STUDIOS, and the scenario and direction are credited to Masato Kato with the main theme by Yasunori Mitsuda — both names from the Chrono Trigger / Chrono Cross lineage. The credits page covers that side.

What we could not verify is a per-character Japanese cast list. The official site publishes the English CV for all 19 base-roster characters (collected on the voice actors page); the Japanese equivalents are not on the pages we checked, so we are not naming them (to confirm).
