I'm not so experienced in this, but I can give you advice on how to try based on my own experience with FFXIII. In the PS3 scene, you can use Bruteforce Savedata to decrypt your save, if hopefully it doesn't have second encryption routine you can begin working with it. You must get a savegame from the JP version, that have the bonus features unlocked and, your own savegame. (You can begin searching here http://savedata.jp/ps3save/) The most easy step to try is, to use Bruteforce's region changing feature, which creates a copy of the JP savedata with the game code of your own copy (like BLUS00980), then attempt to load your new savedata on the western ver. If your lucky the savedata will get loaded with some booty in. If if doesn't work, then you must decrypt the JP and the western version savedata and begin comparing them side by side. I've used HxD hex editor for this. You can then, try pasting regions from savedata A to B and try loading B and take note on what changed. I recommend to have your savedata saved in the same area / savepoint / map of the JP one and if possible, have it the most close as posible to the JP one. Good Luck!
