Subtitle font in Japanese Games (lemmy.world)

I was wondering if anyone here could help me identify a typeface I quite like.

I see it in many Japanese games, often used for English subtitles. Two titles that come to mind are Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, and more recently Street Fighter 6. Any idea what's the name of the font?

Thank you so much for this info - which made me equally happy and sad.

Happy - for I got one step closer to being able to use this font (it's soooo pretty)

Sad - because Fontworks seems to have some extremely convoluted licensing program - a classical Japanese bureaucracy - that after 40 minutes of studying I had to put aside to solve later.

By the way, New Cinema A and New Cinema B are both so awesome.

Might be worth trying with a screenshot of the intro of Xenoblade - it's a pure white background for a lot of it.
