thats a plugin for psp's with cfw only that redirects file access or something similar, the umd does not get patched
Its also pretty far from the patch that was released that required a merged iso

/E: Don't get me wrong, im glad it got translated but making squeenix out to be some evil corporation because they protect their intellectual property is not right.
Then the persons who made the patch are f*cking stupid. I guess Squenix has a point.
Who in the hell decides to merge Isos while translating?

Yeah if the patch truly does require one iso, not both, by default that implies containing *everything* each iso is missing from the other.

Of course the company could still be making other false accusations we don't yet know about.

This is just a stupid move by SE. I normally try to see this from all angles, but in this case, it's retarded no matter how you look at it.
What in what way is defending your intellectual property "retarded"?

It wouldn't have been hard, it would have saved some effort and I'm sure those translating guys would at least understand it. It wouldn't have cost anything but like fifteen minutes of e-mail.
Or maybe the translator(s) should have asked Squeenix for permission to translate the game.
Yes, we all know what the answer would have been, but that does not make it right to go behind their backs knowing the possible consequences.

The way it looks now, however, it's as if SE is just stealing his work.
Lol what?

A simple, courteous e-mail like that would've gone a long way in preventing a PR disaster.

However, SE would rather pay their IP attorneys lots of money to effect legal action against its fans, and damage their reputation as a company in the process.

No, writing up a quick e-mail would've made too much sense.

Stay classy, SE :rolleyes:

All of you guys are misinformed about a few things. I know that's the way it looks, but it's actually the other way around. There's a reason the patch was released early and still is a little buggy. The only reason i'm saying this is because Sky says on his blog he'll explain things. So i'm taking his word as a man he'll do that now.

Not to put to much on your words but remember he said he would not receive a C&D and well what is happening is not much different really looked into Spain laws they have change a lot about copy righted material this year :unsure:

Like I said, there are things you all think you know, but you really don't have a clue about what's really going on behind the curtain. I'm intentionally being sketchy about it because it's not for me to say. But because Sky says he'll explain, i'll leave that to him.

3. Lol what?

1. I'm calling the approach retarded.
2. from what I've gathered, the game was left untranslated for years. And indeed: what's the chance of them giving permission to modify it on a system that isn't open to begin with?
3. I said "the way it looks". Of course it can be a coincidence that SE was going to announce the game just one day after he's done on his work. And I mean that as well: that could very well be. However, it doesn't look that way to me.

YOU MOTHERFUCKERS.

it's Chrono Trigger all over again..goddamnit.

At least the patch was released. Good luck fucking removing it from the internet.

Thank you Sky for all your work. And Fuck SquareEnix. Don't buy any Square Enix games ever.

Too soon for that. We don't have all the information.

I'm not sure how true this is, but I heard they took donations for the project, this could be why this has happened.


This.. I assume without a donation feature, things would have been different in this event..

A very sad and divisive issue.. I can only pray and wish for Sky to not get any real problems beside taking down his team's patch from his website.

The timing of Square Enix's announcement of an official translation was almost too perfect. Let me guess, they'll use the fan translation for the Xbox One and PS4 versions, right? Hate to break it ya SE, but the patch is still floating on the net, good luck going after those who leaked it to other sites :creep:

Sorry, but this company was better back when they were Squaresoft.

I'll follow that up with a question. Then i'll let you all think what you want to about that situation.... Based on what you know as the original release date for the patch, the sudden early release out of nowhere, ONE DAY BEFORE E3....... the few incomplete videos that weren't edited, the few typos and that E3 was already planned for a long time, WHO'S timing was too targeted?

You've all got it backwards..... :lol:

Both parties set their dates to disrupt what the other was doing, i was sure that was obvious to everyone.
Sq just thought they had time until august or whenever sky set a release originally

/E: And anyone that thinks sq is gonna steal a fantranslation is out of their minds ..
