Yes, I've seen that but, I play the games for the system (I love tactics games) and not for the story. And I think you don't need a hack for this game. See it as a trial and error game.
Shangrlia 2 is definitely a game that you've to play twice. The first time is a learning experience. Great game. I played the menu translated version from BabaJeanmel. Great job, keep up the good work.
