Maplestory 3DS: The Girl of Destiny [100% ENG Patch][Release]

DarthDub · Dec 29, 2016

So, since SoundHax was just released. I have homebrew again! So in order for this to work, I just need a physical copy of the Japanese version and use Hans right?

Flyingsky · Dec 30, 2016

Yes that's right!
You have to dump the rom and extract + rebuilt the romfs with the translated files yourself though.
Download the files and read the last part of the "How to use plugin.txt".

Finally got it to work thanks to this tip about BootNTR Selector.

Yep you should be able to. If you need help finding a JP copy I happened to buy mine at Amazon.com for less than $20 I think. Try there. Also let us know if you have trouble getting making the romfs.bin with the instructions provided. It's been a while since I was on Homebrew Launcher only so let me know if we missed any steps.

Gave the patch a bit of a spin.
Medals menu is drastically slower with the patch than without it (N3DS, NTR method). Top of the menu screen also says "The last fight a" or something like that, couldn't be arsed to take an image of it. Not sure what it's supposed to be, chapter title perhaps? I'm basically post game, hunting for stuff I missed.
UI stuff is still absolutely awful, but I'm not too surprised about that. Might as well just fix that for myself.
The opening video shouldn't be too hard to translate, if anyone can hook me up with the frames from it, I can insert the logo in.

I knew I needed the boot selector after ntr failed, but I thought it was called ntr switcher. it's ntr selector for anyone. 3.2 seems to work perfectly for me based on the selector. that's if ur on 11.2.0-35 a9lh v4.

I haven't played through the game, but I knew it worked once the translation team image appeared.

Welp, I purchased the game just now. It won't be here til the end of January though.

Does anybody know how to get past the quest Priuna in Orbis? I have searched EVERYWHERE in Orbis and all the Cloud Parks and I still cant find that freaking house. I know that little fairy girl said it wouldnt be easy but i didnt expect it to be THIS HARD. No joke have spent like an hour or two trying to find the hous but i just cant.

If I remember correctly Spiruna's House is held in the air by lots of balloons. You need to pop the balloons to be able to go inside.

Been playing a little bit and screen capping any particularly egregious typos I've spotted. Sorry if any of these have already been reported.

Typo: siklls

Subtle one, but "done in[space][space]by" (two spaces, might be worth checking the rest of the script for this error just in case)

Typo: You,re

And just for the hell of it, I've started looking at the .gmm files to see if there's anything obvious I see in there.

Stage/GlobalEvent/String.gmm

Code:

Extra space after "Yay" (and mismatched punctuation, see below).

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0830/24</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">I also wandered the under sea for the
{Ancient City}’s treasure in my youth.</language>

"the under sea" --> "under the sea"? Could just be his manner of speaking, but he says "under the sea" in a previous message.

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0830/39</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">Oh! The stone!

"Stone is glowing!" just seems a bit weird here. "It's glowing!" seems more standard in English, but again this might be intentional.

Might have been intended as either "Do you" or "D'you" for something a bit more colloquial.

General stuff: there's inconsistent usage of a few alternative characters throughout:

' (straight apostrophe) and ’ (angled apostrophe)
！ (fullwidth Japanese exclamation mark) and ! (standard exclamation mark)
… (single ellipsis character) and ... (three periods) (Stage/Global/message_JP.gmm and Quest_Desc_JP.gmm use three periods, the rest seems standardized on the ellipsis character)

This is all nitpicking, it shouldn't affect enjoyment of the (excellent) patch, just offering fixes if they're desired. Apologies for any offense caused.

Actually thank you so much for posting these fixes. Some typos like the skills in the first picture had already been fixed, but perhaps not in the latest public release. I've gone and fixed everything you mentioned, thanks for the help. Fixed those punctuation inconsistencies and double spaces too. We appreciate the help.

A v1.02 update will most likely be posted in the next few days with various improvements to the text, fixed typos and such.

No game breaking errors have been found since v1.01 so it's not necessary to update, but it's recommended for those who want to play with the best quality.

Vague Rant · Jan 3, 2017

Glad I can help.

Resuming where I left off with the .gmm files:

Stage/ST0102010/String.gmm

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC0420SubQuest03End/02</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">You got a \[Duck Doll Clothes\].</language>

"a" isn't needed here.

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC0420SubQuest03Ing/01</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">You haven’t collected it all.
You didn’t eat them, did you?
The kids are hungry!</language>

Looks like "collected them all" would be more appropriate here.

Stage/ST0106020/String.gmm

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0850/23</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">Oh descendant of the great &lt;Battle Mage&gt;…
You have awoken the spire.</language>

The archaic "O" is probably intended here rather than "Oh"; like "O Canada".

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0850/29</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">Though it may seem like a simple spire,
this place has the &lt;Battle Mage&gt;’s Djinns
packed into it's every part.</language>

When used as a possessive, "its" takes no apostrophe. "it's" always means "it is" or "it has".

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0850/34</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">I hope you can overcome the all trials.</language>

"the all trials" --> "all the trials"

Stage/ST0106030/String.gmm

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0855/09</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">You observed your surroundings well to
solve the puzzles.
You passed the test of intelligence.</language>

Later the player passes the "Trial of Courage" and the "trial of strength" (see below). I would suggest these three be brought into line as Trial of Intelligence, Trial of Courage and Trial of Strength.

Stage/ST0106040/String.gmm

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0860/09</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">You passed the Trial of Courage.</language>

I actually think this one is fine, but it's here for reference since the three trials are named inconsistently.

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0860/13</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">The defeated Djinn is reborn a 1000 years
later by emerging from the body of new
&lt;Battle Mage&gt;.</language>

"a 1000 years" should be either "a thousand years" or "1000 years".

Stage/ST0106050/String.gmm

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0865/12</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">You passed the trial of strength.</language>

Here is the "trial of strength", mentioned above, which I suggest should be capitalized (otherwise, the Trial of Courage should be uncapitalized).

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0865/14</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">This world has existed for a 1000 years
since the rebirth of the dark Djinn &lt;Valdis&gt;.</language>

"a 1000 years" again, not standard usage in English.

Stage/ST0201010/String.gmm

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC0210Talk01/02</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">Right now the &lt;Android&gt;’s power is expanding.
If you aren’t totally prepared, you’ll
regret it.</language>

This is a bit of an iffy one, but I assume it's talking about the Androids, plural? So probably warrants <Androids>’ (note apostrophe after >).

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC0210Talk02/01</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">{Edelstein} is a fantastic city.
I carry a lot of fine goods.
Why don’t you take a look.</language>

That last line is a question, "Why don’t you take a look?" (question mark)

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC0211SubQuest01Start/03</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">If you got some time, how about some
part-time work?</language>

Technically "If you've got some time" would be more correct, but this might just be the character's manner of speaking, so *shrug*.

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC0216Talk02/01</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">&lt;Morgan&gt; disappered, but there are still
those that follow him…</language>

Correct spelling is disappeared.

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC1105Talk0101/01</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">&lt;Henrite&gt; and &lt;Irekkusu&gt; are buried on the
mountain behind the city.</language>

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC1105Talk0102/01</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">&lt;Irekkusu&gt; was originally a kindergarten
teacher. He looked scary, but he loved the
children more than anyone else…</language>

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC1105Talk0103/01</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">&lt;Henrite&gt; was a garbage collector.
Thanks to him the streets of {Edelstein}
was always clean.</language>

Spoilers! This is kind of a localization issue, but these are the names of two original MapleStory NPCs, Resistance fighters from Edelstein. Henrite was renamed Brighton in English releases, and Irekkusu is Elex. Also, in that last one, it should say the streets of Edelstein "were always clean".

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC1105Talk0201/02</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">Instead his influence decreasing, it's
gradually getting stronger and that's a
big problem.</language>

"Instead his" --> "Instead of his"

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC1107Talk01/01</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">Mr. &lt;Henrite&gt; and Mr. &lt;Irekkusu&gt; haven’t
returned yet.</language>

More Brighton & Elex.

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC1107Talk0202/01</comment>

A question, should technically be "What should I do?!"

That's enough for a bit, gonna take a break.

EDIT: Another batch of fixes.

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0945/28</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">I almost forget. I haven’t had a chance to

"forget" --> "forgot"

Stage/ST0201070/String.gmm

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0943/38</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">&lt;Android&gt;!

Another question, should be "What’s this all about?!"

Code:

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0943/89</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">Yes!
I’ll be able to defeat &lt;Morgan&gt;!
No, I’ll definitely do it!</language>

From context, it seems like the dialogue might be intended to read something like "I’ll try to defeat <Morgan>! No, I’ll definitely do it!"
(Actually, I can't read Japanese, but here's Google Translate: "I think I can defeat Morgan! No, I will definitely do it!")

Stage/ST0201070/String.gmm

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC1111SubQuest01End/06</comment>

<comment>BattleMage/NC1111SubQuest01Start/05</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">Zzzttt…
Dol… cet… to…
Life support… anomaly detected.
Source of anomaly… insufficient energy.</language>

That second line (Dol…, etc.) seems confusing without context, but there's a robot in MapleStory called Dolcetta-2000, so you can probably assume it should be "Dol… cet… ta…" in the translation. I assume it's Dolcetta-2000 who says this line, or that it's talking about Dolcetta at least. I haven't played this far into the game, yet. (Thanks to eientei95 for this one.)

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC1111SubQuest01Start/09</comment>

Code:

	<row id="NC0056">
		<language name= "Japanese">Crew</language>

These enemies are named "Kru" in MapleStory.

This next one is kind of an edge case, feel free to ignore. In the "original" Japanese (no idea what they're called in Korean, sorry):

Code:

	<row id="NC0402">
		<language name= "Japanese">ラン</language>
	</row>

	<row id="NC0403">
		<language name= "Japanese">ロン</language>
	</row>

These can be directly transliterated as "Ran" and "Ron". Current translation:

Code:

	<row id="NC0402">
		<language name= "Japanese">Orchid</language>
	</row>

	<row id="NC0403">
		<language name= "Japanese">Ron</language>

I don't think "Orchid" was intended here; the names are written in katakana, as if they're foreign names being written in Japanese, and shouldn't be "translated" per se. Even though "ran" can mean "orchid" in Japanese, it wouldn't be written like this. I think the characters are just intended to be named "Ran" and "Ron". I don't think these are previous MapleStory characters though, so you're pretty much free to name them as you wish.

Code:

	<row id="NC0405">
		<language name= "Japanese">Mr. Luo</language>
	</row>

This character is dubbed "Grandpa Luo" in English MapleStory. Not much difference, just for reference.

Code:

	<row id="NC1206">
		<language name= "Japanese">Bon</language>
	</row>

Bon-chan the dog is called Moppie in English MapleStory.

Code:

	<row id="NC1214">
		<language name= "Japanese">Repairman Loki</language>
	</row>

Rocky the Repairman.

Code:

	<row id="NC1220">
		<language name= "Japanese">Alkester</language>
	</row>

Alcaster.

Code:

	<row id="NC1222">
		<language name= "Japanese">Lumi</language>
	</row>

Complicated one, here. MapleStory has characters named Lumi and Rumi. I have no idea which one is in MapleStory 3DS. Educated guess: I think it's probably Rumi, not Lumi. The last few characters in the file are from the El Nath region in MapleStory, which is where Rumi is found.

Code:

	<row id="NC0500">
		<language name= "Japanese">Sagati</language>
	</row>

SagaT. (I know, what the hell kind of name is SagaT?)

Code:

	<row id="NC0501">
		<language name= "Japanese">Mazura</language>
	</row>

Mazra.

Code:

	<row id="NC0502">
		<language name= "Japanese">Muhammad</language>
	</row>

Muhamad.

The character list is massive, I'm going to stop here and pick it up later.

EDIT3: Continuing with the characters.

Code:

	<row id="NC0503">
		<language name= "Japanese">Jiyuru</language>
	</row>

Jiyur.

Code:

	<row id="NC0504">
		<language name= "Japanese">Karutasa</language>
	</row>

Karcasa.

Code:

	<row id="NC0506">
		<language name= "Japanese">Apudora the 2nd</language>
	</row>

I can't quite confirm this character exactly, but there is an Abdullah VIII who matches in all but number. That should make this character Abdullah II.

For comparison:
アプドラ２世 = Abdullah II
アプドラ８世 = Abdullah VIII

Code:

	<row id="NC0508">
		<language name= "Japanese">Pharaoh Yeti JR.</language>
	</row>

Nitpicking, but Junior is usually abbreviated "Jr.", with a lowercase R.

Code:

	<row id="NC0511">
		<language name= "Japanese">Yasmin</language>
	</row>

Jasmin.

Code:

	<row id="NC0512">
		<language name= "Japanese">Arudin</language>
	</row>

Ardin.

Code:

	<row id="NC0521">
		<language name= "Japanese">Kioru</language>
	</row>

Keol.

Code:

	<row id="NC0522">
		<language name= "Japanese">Kason</language>
	</row>

Carson.

Code:

	<row id="NC0523">
		<language name= "Japanese">Mud</language>
	</row>

Maed.

Code:

	<row id="NC0524">
		<language name= "Japanese">Kinney</language>
	</row>

Keeny.

Code:

	<row id="NC0526">
		<language name= "Japanese">Llama Inn</language>
	</row>

Ramain.

Code:

	<row id="NC0527">
		<language name= "Japanese">Rosun</language>
	</row>

Rosen.

Code:

	<row id="NC0529">
		<language name= "Japanese">Raseruron</language>
	</row>

Russellon.

Code:

	<row id="NC0532">
		<language name= "Japanese">Broker Kahn</language>
	</row>

Han the Broker.

Code:

	<row id="NC0700">
		<language name= "Japanese">Surai</language>
	</row>

Sly.

Code:

	<row id="NC0701">
		<language name= "Japanese">Famu</language>
	</row>

OK, the character of Famu was localized as Pam, but this causes problems later, because there's a character named Pam who turns up later. I still suggest naming this character Pam, but see below re: Pam 2.

Code:

	<row id="NC0702">
		<language name= "Japanese">Myu</language>
	</row>

Mue.

Code:

	<row id="NC0703">
		<language name= "Japanese">Mudei</language>
	</row>

Moodie.

Code:

	<row id="NC0704">
		<language name= "Japanese">Koruba</language>
	</row>

Corba.

Code:

	<row id="NC0706">
		<language name= "Japanese">Tatamo</language>
	</row>

Nitpick: Chief Tatamo. Tatamo, Chief Tatamo, same thing.

Time for another break.

EDIT4: Back into characters again.

Code:

	<row id="NC0709">
		<language name= "Japanese">Tami</language>
	</row>

Tommie.

Code:

	<row id="NC0710">
		<language name= "Japanese">Pam</language>
	</row>

... And now we reach Pam 2. From what I can tell, this seems to be a new character introduced in MapleStory 3DS, and happens to use a name that was previously taken by Famu-->Pam. I suggest that this character should be renamed. Maybe something like Fay for a quick bit of symmetry?

Code:

	<row id="NC0206">
		<language name= "Japanese">レッドドッグ</language>
	</row>

Ace. This one seems weird, but here's a Japanese page on Red Dog if you want to confirm that the character's name changed in localization. They're the same character.

Code:

	<row id="NC0210">
		<language name= "Japanese">Carel</language>
	</row>

Carol.

Code:

	<row id="NC1108">
		<language name= "Japanese">Bell</language>
	</row>

Belle.

Code:

	<row id="NC1109">

Brighton.

Code:

	<row id="NC1110">

	</row>

Elex.

Code:

	<row id="NC1111">
		<language name= "Japanese">Dolcetto</language>
	</row>

Dolcetta-2000.

Code:

	<row id="NC0606">
		<language name= "Japanese">Chori</language>
	</row>

Chury.

Code:

	<row id="NC0607">
		<language name= "Japanese">Gani</language>
	</row>

Gunny.

Code:

	<row id="NC0608">
		<language name= "Japanese">Funi</language>
	</row>

Hoony.

Code:

	<row id="NC0216">
		<language name= "Japanese">Trunkey</language>
	</row>

Trunkie.

Code:

	<row id="NC1101">
		<language name= "Japanese">Nyuzu</language>
	</row>

Muse.

Code:

	<row id="NC1103">
		<language name= "Japanese">Old Fisherman</language>
	</row>

Tae Gong.

That's characters finished, and I'm done for the night.

EDIT5: I lied. Doing a quick second pass over the characters to try to pick up any I wasn't able to ID on the first pass.

Code:

	<row id="NC0053">
		<language name= "Japanese">Stone Statue</language>
	</row>

Statue, but I doubt anybody would be upset by "Stone Statue" remaining.

Code:

	<row id="NC0406">
		<language name= "Japanese">Master Panda</language>
	</row>

So Gong.

Code:

	<row id="NC0424">
		<language name= "Japanese">Potter Geon</language>
	</row>

Just Potter, but his name is given as Gion/Geon in Korean and Japanese sources, so no reason to change it.

Code:

	<row id="NC1201">
		<language name= "Japanese">Mino</language>
	</row>

Mino the Owner, but just Mino isn't going to hurt anybody.

If I already have it installed by CIA from that iso site, do I still need to boot NTR every time I play it, or is the patch already applied on the CIA version so I wouldn't need to?

You don't have to boot NTR as far as I know since the CIA is patched.

Code:

There's no "Help" menu, I don't think. This is probably referring to the "Hints" menu, which includes control information.

The word order here sounds very "translation-y". I'd suggest a rewrite like "The trainee who can bring back the \[Secret Technique\] will be promoted a grade."

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0120/32</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">You can check or use your items in the
ITEMS section of the game menu.</language>

For consistency, previous references to the menu have used quotation marks and initial caps.

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0120/33</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">You can put potions in a slot and use it

		<language name="Japanese">You can get more detailed information on

HINTS --> "Hints"
Obviously these are a matter of preference. You could instead change the previous references (from ST0401020) instead of changing these.

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0120/70</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">She really left.

Here's Ramin being referred to as "She", c.f. "his" and "him" earlier. I think this example is correct and Ramin is supposed to be female, but I'm not really sure.

More female Ramin. Again, I think this is correct, but just in case.

<comment>BattleMage/b0220/13</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">Uh…. ugh….</language>

Couple of ways to fix this, but I guess I'd remove the period after the first ellipsis, or maybe just remove both.

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0220/34</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">Yeah.
I heard that Mr. &lt;Tae Roon&gt; was your disciple.</language>

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0220/36</comment>

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0220/37</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">For a trainee to beat my disciple &lt;Tae Roon&gt;…
It’s been a while since this happened.</language>

In this part of the text, it sounds like Ronsha is describing Tae Roon as his student. However, when we meet Tae Roon (prior to this in game-time, but later in the script), he makes it clear that they studied together under the same master and are like brothers. Maybe he should be described as Ronsha's "companion" rather than his "disciple" here?

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0220/80</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">They’re demanding toll.
\[NAME:B\], I’m not sure if you can pass

Probably should be "They’re demanding a toll."

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0220/81</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">It's okay.</language>

Elsewhere the script spells that particular affirmative as "ok" (two letters, uncapitalized). This is the first example I've seen that spells it out. Any option ("ok", "OK", "okay") should be fine, as long as they're used consistently.

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0220/93</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">From the “SKILLS” menu, you can assign the
“Bear Smasher”, you just learned, to a button

This is the third way of styling menu options I've seen so far: quotation marks and all-caps. The other thing to note is that there are also curly quotes here, the rest I've seen have all been straight quotes.

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0220/94</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">Among skills, there are some you can charge
just like “Bear Smasher” you just learned.</language>

Curly quotes.

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0220/96</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">For detailed information about siklls,
refer to “HINTS” in the Game Menu.</language>

Hey look, deja vu. In addition to the "siklls" typo I pointed out earlier, it's the quotes-and-all-caps style menu reference. And curly quotes.

<comment>BattleMage/NC0400Talk01/02</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">There hasn’t been anyone who was unscathed

I think these are probably both referring to "Androids" (plural), since the player was just attacked by a group of them.

		<language name="Japanese">Dr. &lt;Henjaku&gt; taught me Edison…
Oh, no, he’s a savior who taught me

"savior" seems a bit iffy here. Looks like something like "philanthropist" or "benefactor" is intended.

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC0407Talk0301/01</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">So~. Is Dr. &lt;Henjaku&gt; doing well?
Huh? Dr. &lt;Henjaku&gt; doesn’t know what that is

Should be "on your shoulder either?"

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/NC0407Talk0302/01</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">Dr. &lt;Henjaku&gt; taught me Edison…
Oh, no, he’s a savior who taught me

Duplicate line with "savior".

		<language name="Japanese">.sdneirf ruoy lla lleT
.nuf yllaer si emag yrotSelpaM
Aaa! I guess I was talking weird again.</language>

For that second line, I think ".emag nuf yllaer a si yrotSelpaM" might be a bit better. ("MapleStory game is really fun." --> "MapleStory is a really fun game.")

Stage/ST0402082/String.gmm

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0180/58</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">You guys are..

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0180/59</comment>
		<language name="Japanese">Looking carefully you're…
an &lt;Android&gt;</language>

I'm pretty sure the character is addressing not just one, but multiple Androids in this scene. Also, plural or not, this line ends in ?! in Japanese, and ? in Korean so the English probably should have at least a question mark, maybe both.

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0265/06</comment>

		<language name="Japanese">We pay our tolls fair and square!

That first line seems like a mistranslation. I asked around (thanks Bast) and it's just them complaining about the player refusing to pay the toll some more. Should be changed to reflect this, e.g. "And you still haven't paid the toll!"

Code:

<comment>BattleMage/b0240/14</comment>

This one is just a stylistic choice, feel free to ignore, but I think it would work better as "We are…!" because the line segues into the next one, "PIRATES!"

This is sort of complicated, but I think Japanese MapleStory just calls all the storage keepers "Storage Keeper Goldman", like a running joke or something, and that's who this character is (ambiguously) referencing. In the English releases, all (most) Storage Keepers get unique names. The Storage Keeper from Herb Town is named "Mr. Gong" and I suspect this is who is actually being talked about here, since he's local and one of the many Goldmans in Japanese Maple Story.

And, break. This marks the not-quite-halfway mark.

And it's time to take a break.

I want to take a moment to correct an error I made previously: I claimed that Yulete in your translation was actually Juliet, but I was wrong. Upon reaching this part of the script, I see that you had it right before I came along: Yulete is in this game and Juliet is not. I've edited it out of the post where I suggested this change, and I apologize for any additional effort this caused.
