So, is this a complete restoration or is it still being worked on?
Basically, what I mean is, is there still more censored in this game even after you patch it?
Great job, by the way! I really appreciate all your work with this.

It's unfortunate, I keep hear of crashing issues relating to Unities, but I can never get it to happen on my end. I've tried so much. I believe it's probably just a bad patch.
Could just be the SD cards or Wii U's. I remember having a similar type of freeze on my retail disc of a game or maybe VC game a long time ago. Don't think there's a 100% method of recreating the freezes.

Anyway, missing sub scenes all the way up to ending CH 5's Intermission:

-Yashiro side story #2: Lesson Battle Action Series: "Dangerous Relations", TV drama scene after Radiant Unity craft

-#3 The Imperial Wrath of a Child's Adventure: "Child Monster Gold and Silver", Microwavin with Mamorin scene after Radiant Unity craft

There's only 2 more side quests for characters beyond CH 6, so probably not many scenes need fixing unless there are a lot of main story ones missing subs.

Thanks as always, I'll update my files and probably patch once you find the last of the side stories.

UPDATE:
Turns out I already fixed both of these, I'll just upload the new patch for it then.

So, is this a complete restoration or is it still being worked on?

Most things will be decnsored, I believe all that we know of that's left is their year in High School (3rd years rather than the original 2nd years) have been fixed.
If you're only worrried about Bikinis, then yes, it's all fixed.

Sorry to ask but my friend said that Jack Frost in this translation (or was it in the Nintendo Translation) says "Hee Haw" instead of "Hee Ho". Is that how the translation is meant to be?
Sorry if this was already pointed out.

With this patch before we didn't change the Hee Haw mart from the Japanese files to English, Hee Ho is now used instead.

This was an oversight on our parts when making the patch originally. He will now say Hee Ho and the Hee Haw Mart is now Hee Ho mart.

I created an account because I wanted to thank everyone involved with creating this restoration patch.

I don't know if this was reported yet, but Kiria's 2nd or 3rd sidequest (the one where she collabs with Tsubasa) freezes half way into the animated cutscene at the end. However, you can still skip the cutscene while it's frozen.

Again, thanks for the hard work!

We haven't had any reports of this no, in fact most people have gotten through these fine.
When did you last patch your game?

I was answering to this part:

Your "restoration" thread making people believe they can expect unaltered version of the game from you, which is not true.

after i installed your agb_firm my top screen started to flickering now.

Can you make the instructions a bit more descriptiv? I put all of the files in the xdelta folder and whenever I attempt to run the patcher over my game files, It just says "The game folder does not contain Xdelta3.exe. Can't continue without it." I've tried putting the xdelta3.exe in my game folder, but, alas, it did not work. Help??
The wait is over!!!!!

Here is our patch.
We are proud to present:

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Reincarnation ver. 0.9.2 (changelog inside the paste)
Lastest game patcher version 1.5 (just the patching utility, don't confuse with patch version)

cUf94jd.jpg

you can check the version of the patch while hovering the eshop icon on the title screen.

We strongly recommend applying the patch in your hard drive to speed up the process and please don't do it inside your sd card or you could run out of space and end up with corrupted files.

YOU'LL NEED A HOMEBREW ENABLED WII U TO USE THE PATCH!!
AND ALSO LOADIINE AND A DUMPED VERSION OF THE GAME.

Make sure to check the FAQ section below for more details about that.
you have been warned.

http://pastebin.com/srWVeteR
Instructions about how to apply the patch are inside.
And of course if you are having problems with the patch (we won't provide support about the hacking process of your own Wii U) you can ask here in the thread or in this chat on discord https://discord.gg/eR428vF

FAQ:
Q: What exactly change this?
A: A complete list of the changes to the dialog can be found here. But here is a quick list:
- Reverted costumes back to Bikini's, also changing the menu icons back and their original names and descriptions.
- Completely redid Chapter 2 and a few other small files to return references to Gravure Modelling, this also uses the original voice files.
- Fixed any map changes relating to pictures in dungeons that were changed.
- Swapped the English files out for Japanese versions for retranslated files.
- Healing points no longer come in envelopes.
- Changed Profiles to reflect the character's real ages and change back references to Gravure Modeling.
- Reverted any censored prerendered Cutscene files.

Q: Do I need homebrew to use the patch?
A: If you haven't already read the above statement that clearly mention it, yes.
If you need help hacking your Wii U go here: http://gbatemp.net/threads/videos-how-to-run-5-5-x-kernel-exploit-set-up-sd-card.425040/
Here for Loadiine: https://gbatemp.net/threads/loadiine-gx2.413823/
Or here to dump your game with DDD: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ddd-wiiu-title-dumper.418492/

Q: Do I need the Japanese version of the game to apply the patch?
A: No, this patch is standalone and you only need a loadiine dump of the US or EU version of the game.

Q: I purchased the DLC, can I use it with this patch?
A: Yes, but you need to load your game using the Smash method of Loadiine and have it dumped with DDD.
If you already had installed the DLC before dumping then most probably you already did, you can check if there is a folder called aoc0005000c101ed800 or aoc0005000c101ed700 depending if your game is US or EU.
If you need more help you can consult the Loadiine thread specified above.

Q: Are the altered costumes that only appeared in the censored version of the game still accessible (Tsubasa and Elle bikini replacements)?
A: No, at this moment is impossible to add them back alongside the others.

Q: Is the hotsprings DLC playable?
A: No, that content is exclusive of the JP version and there isn't a way to load it in the western versions.

Q: Is there a way to use my disc with the patch?
A: At the moment no. The files to patch are too big for Cafiine. The only way you can use your disc for now is to make a dump with DDD.

Q: I found a bug/my game freezes/there is an error here.
A: Please send us a save file and an explanation of how happened to try reproduce it or we wont be able to fix it.

Q: The patcher says I'm missing some files but I have them all.
A: Verify that you are pointing correctly to the game folder (the one with the code, content and meta folders) and that you put the xdelta3.exe and patch files inside a folder called "xdelta". example gif.

I'll like to thank Sn0wCrack, Shudouken, (S)aber, and Werin that made this possible. Without them this would have been a very basic patch. Thank you guys!!!

BTW... Sn0wCrack and Shudoueken are still working on some files and it could be a little surprise if everything works out, but no promises here.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Old updated OP:
OK people.
We (Sn0wCrack, KazukiMutou, Werin, Shudouken and me) have been a bit busy putting the JP and US version together to create the best patch we can and we are ready to show a little of what we have accomplished.

We are still working on it so be patient.

For those wondering if the JP version will be needed to patch the game:
No, we will release a patch so you'll only need a dump of the US version of the game.
More details about how to get your own dump here.

And for the ones wondering about the EU version:
Our patch should work on both, US and EU versions of the game.

Stay tuned for more news.

Seeing as the launch day of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE draws near and people is getting a little impatient about whether or not a uncensor patch will be made, I have been fiddling around with the game files and succeeded modifying them as seen here:
iCO110P.jpg


Once I get my hands on my copy of the game I'll work on a patch to swap the American censored models with the Japanese untouched ones as well as fixing the ages of the characters in their profiles.
I don't intend to alter the script in any way as I don't know if there is any changes there.

That's all for now.

This was actually mentioned by someone and me a couple days ago. Hadn't checked what was fixed in the 0.9.2 patch, but just tested it now and still happens. Here's the post with a save file:

I don't know what to tell you seraph, but I've gone through that cutscene myself at least 5 times testing it and nothing. All I can really say is that perhaps the pack_050_movie.cpk didn't patch correctly, I even patched my files with tne latest one in the mega and it still worked fine, I just can't get any crashes related to this to happen.

Can you make the instructions a bit more descriptiv? I put all of the files in the xdelta folder and whenever I attempt to run the patcher over my game files, It just says "The game folder does not contain Xdelta3.exe. Can't continue without it." I've tried putting the xdelta3.exe in my game folder, but, alas, it did not work. Help??
Read the file again, we give a folder structure and you download it the way it should be placed. You have tms patcher in the directory ABOVE the xdelta folder.

Just finished kiria 3rd side story and it crashed during the FMV midway. Thank god I could skip it.
Did you crash in the earlier cutscenes? Or just that one?
I'm slowly getting the feeling this is a random occurance, I wouldn't even know where to start

Well no worries, I don't find it a big deal as you can skip it even when it freezes and I'm already past it. But seems like multiple people having the issue and tried completely fresh files a couple times.

Is it always freezing at close to this part of the FMV?

If you have a save for the third cutscene, the only one I haven't tested thus far, it would be great. But 1 and 2 don't crash for me.
