Which it probably won't, when a patch is available, how will it be used? Will I have to rip the DVD, & apply it to the file, & reburn it, or will I be able to install the game, & then patch it.

I'm sorry, I just want to be prepared! I remember Ys 2 Eternal not working on my friends US Windows years ago, so he got Jp Windows.

All you will need is Microsoft AppLocale which lets you run a non Western unicode program or game on your Western PC. This is guaranteed to work. |

With Windows XP you can run everything using jap settings. I have never encountered any problems with japanese games, especially not Falcom games. And since this is using the same engine as in YsVI, I think this one will work just as perfect as YsVI did.  |

I don't recommend using applocale.
Just go to your control panel, regional settings, advanced, and choose japanese. That's the best way to play japanese games.
It requires a reboot, but it's much better like this.
(I'm always running my US winxp with such settings, so I don't need to reboot)

Too late, I already installed it! Getting ahead of myself!

It's most likely safe to pre-order the game. I didn't have any problems with Ys I & II Complete or Ys VI.
I doubt playing Ys: Oath on WinXp US will have any problems either.

I don't think the Ys VI pachtes were for playing on other region PC's, it was just for bug fixes like any other PC game.

I forgot to mention that App locales sole purpose is to save you a reboot everytime you just wanna play a japanese or other non English program. Yes, you can just go to control panel and change the region but you always have to reboot.

Reboot? Fun stuff.

From Microsoft website :
"If you frequently use non-Unicode applications in a given script (or set of languages), it is strongly recommended to set your system locale variable to the language of the target application and not to use AppLocale."
So true...
I'm always under japanese settings and I have no problem running other programs by the way.

Most of the untranslated Falcom Japanese games can work in my Chinese Win98 with a Shift-JIS to GB2312 translator

all my Falcom games have worked so far. 
but it is a serious question that hopefully we will not have to deal with upon this games arrival.
