So i got the new patch and talked to the people on route 1
For me they were still Japanese
HOWEVER
I think you should wait for 'bache' to get there and see if he has the same problem because I'm really nooby when it comes to all this sort of stuff and it wouldn't surprise if I didn't actually patch the right thing or used the wrong patch
what I am saying is that you shouldn't trust me completely on this and wait for someone more experienced to see if they still have the problem
