Now they still work with applocale enabled, and if I run the game without applocale it doesn't extract them to the save folder anymore and just reads them from the Movie folder too. Well, I moved the movie clips from the save folder and to the game's Movie folder and restarted the game. What kind of programming voodoo is this game? O_o Well, it seems like if I run the game without applocale and watch the (non-ending) movies from the extras menu, they get extracted from the game and put in the save folder as MPG files, which makes them viewable from the extras menu when I run the game WITH applocale later on. Sadly running it without applocale makes the text look horrible, but at least now I can go back and watch the clips later on if I want to. So in a sense I wasn't totally wrong about the folder name thing working. However, the game can only run without Applocale for me if the folder name is in romanized text, otherwise it just gives a garbled error message. With Microsofts AppLocale I was able to launch 32-bit programs in any locale but AppLocale doesnt launch 64-bit programs in a locale different to the system locale. If I start the game with Japanese Applocale again the movies won't play anymore. Im looking for a way to launch 64-bit programs in a Chinese, Japanese, and Russian locale without changing my current system locale (which is English). This created the garbled save folder in my documents and made the movies work from the extras menu.

The reason it worked wasn't because I renamed my folder, it was because I misclicked "run as administrator" instead of "Japanese Applocale" after I had renamed the folder, and I didn't notice. I made a mistake that I just realised now. Translations in context of 'run this command' in English-German from Reverso Context: Disables encryption for a file system or individual directories and files. I was testing them from the extras menu, I'm not sure if they work in-game since I just message skipped to get them to show up in the extras folder.
