1)-Install Applocale (HF pAppLoc1.2) NOTE: doesn't work on windows 10 you will need to change your region settings to japan or find some other applocale ill say again DO NOT INSTALL ON WINDOWS 10! find another japanese applocale that will work on windows 10

2)-Inside "Artificial Academy 2" mount and open "DISK1" then open "edit" then right click "setup" and click "run with japanese locale as adminstrator" NOTE: if error or text being nothing but random symbols instead of japanese then try double clicking setup)

3)-(N)=Next (I)=Install (B)=Back (C)=Cancel/Change  Make sure you change the default install directory i suggest "C:\Illusion\Artificial Academy 2" and install (what you just installed was the character creation and you need this to create characters and to play the game)

4)-Now go back from "edit" to Disk1 there you will see yet another "setup" this is the one that will install the game so install that the exact same way you installed edit's setup (step 2 and 3 for refrence) remember never install in the default location use "C:\Illusion\Artificial Academy 2" again

5)-it will eventually stop the installation process to ask ...more like demand disk 2 so mount "DISK2" then hit ok

6)-and then it will ask for disk 3 so mount "DISK3" then hit ok

7)-once done installing open "DLC" then "Artificial Academy 2 DLC HF Patch" then double click "Artificial_Academy_2-DLC_HF_Patch1.0.7" install it and dont change anything unless you know what your doing this will update the game and install the free DLC and pre-order dlc

8)-Now open "Append Set I add-on" now right click "FileCopy" and click "run with japanese locale as adminstrator" it should AUTO detect the game then..umm i think you click on the option on the left which is this way <--- it should start installing the DLC if not then it was probably the option on the right...

9)-now do the same with "Append Set II add-on"

10)- final step now open "HF Patch" and double click "Artificial Academy 2 HF Patch" and install it dont change anything unless you know what you doing

now check your desktop  youll see a few new things youll see "Artificial Academy 2 Edit" "Artificial Academy 2 Edit Unlock" and "Artificial Academy 2" "Artificial Academy 2 JSF" and 2 others that are in japanese delete those we dont need them
