"Operation Decode has started to bring the 3ds version to Europe and the USA"

That is on the wiki page and I don't know if I should trust it but gives me hope.

Believe it!

And support the team too!

90% of the people would still download the patch for one stupid reason:
they won't pay for it.

Or maybe I could just put the patch as R3volution does, plugin form + forcing you to use an UMD.

Hello i have a quick and blunt question about this project.
Howmuch of the still active member's time of this project is spend on this project - hours a day / hours a week / hours a month well you get it.
And what is the most needed part of projects like this Romhacking Translators etc.

I plan on learning all kind of stuff to help projects while currently knowing nothing i wish to learn and help others in ways i can on the long run.

no, the story is fine actually, my work is mainly on the menu.
Like that for example, I'm sure some rewording could fit but certain item names just can't.

What do you need a portable potty for? That wasn't even brought up in the show, so why do you need it in the game? And don't give me the "it's got to be realistic" crap. And just what is the story? Does it follow the first 50 episodes of Season 1 or is it something else?

Or instead of collecting floppy discs for your Digimon, why couldn't you have something similar to the Ben 10 game alien switching? The Omnitrix's power gets depleted as you stay in alien form and then recharges when you become human again. You could have the same thing; use up too much of Tentomon's Super Shocker and he reverts to his younger self. And as you level up, the amount of energy grows as well. Or more technically, as you and your Digimon grow closer. Hmm, but I guess they're there for the same reason that there're tonics and ethers in Chrono Trigger.

It's not an adaptation of the show. It's based off Digimon World for PS1. Digimon pooping was apart of it. I forget exactly what it did but I think it had to do with their happiness and virus levels, contributing to the branching evolutions. Portable Potties are convenient so the player doesn't have to be near a Potty.

They aren't making the game, just translating it. I think it would be too much work to change game mechanics.

I am not a part of this project, but I am working with StorMyu on a different one, and frankly, it varies. Most people who work on this kind of project are usually in college, and that comes first, and when dealing with jobs, school, family etc, the project that no one is paying you to do tends to get pushed aside at times. Right now, I am getting ready to leave the country for a couple weeks and won't be doing any work on my project for a while.

It'll get done when it's done.

+ playing it on emulator on PC/PSP than buying that game even its added Digimons or story but their attacks pretty same due restriction of storage
instead of a remake i would prefer a new game than....that

As Sporky said, it varies, Sporky is translating like a mad men on Sword Art Online while I'm working on all the troubles we could have with the translation, but since I have lots of current projects, it really depends on my time and my motivation.
per week... I can go from 1 to 20 hours, depending on my schedule / motivation.

And it would be stupid to remove the Portable Potty, it's hard to get at the beginning of the game so you're still forced to use the potty, it's only useful later in the game.
Anyway, I think this system is forced, forcing you to "Tamagotchi" your Digimon is just so much fun xD

Like people have already mention, the game is a story of it's own, it doesn't follow the adventure story or any other story line of the digimon anime. The original was (if i remember) an adaptation of good old tamagotchi (think i spelt it right) where the whole idea was to look after a virtual pet by feeding, playing and toileting your little friend. thats why it was included in the original digimon world, so that there was an element of care and challenge to the game style rather than walking around and killing everything once you've leveled up, hence why your digimon die as well. the porta-potty is because sometime your too far from a bathroom to get to one in time, so it's useful in that sense, its also helpful for training when you don't want to be wasting time with wandering to the nearest bathroom while at the gym.

Also, this is a translation, don't think they're looking to change the core machanics of the game other than maybe adding some digi-dudes, althouhg i may have missed something?

I liked Digimon World 3 best.Not that that's relevant or anything

The original Digimon World was a special game, I had many many hours of enjoyment from it. It was very inventive for it's time and rewarding for the effort needed. I have contemplated playing it again but since this is in the works I don't think I'll bother.... might still tho -_-

 

[renes2]

lol, still not released yet?

Its your thing, and i am respecting you for all this work, but maybe its already too late.
The game is already coming to usa/europe and i think you know it very well...

you could have released it already, because i think most of the players will only pla it for Story and 3D Digimon...

..just my opinion...

Eh?
Since when was it coming to both the USA and Europe?
I think it would've been bigger news by now.

 

[laughinman]

I'd also like to know, I'm aware of the petition but I cannot find any official news. As far as I know this translation is indeed necessary.

Apparently a petition means auto translation, no consideration for the company that translates it just "Yes, it's happening because we said so". Have to say this translation project better fits the quote than that petition.

Please do come back though if you have an official source as opposed to a bunch a sites linking to a petition.

 

[FranciscoMateus]

I think that if there really was an official translation being made, the guys working in this project would tell us about it. And it is almost impossible for the psp to get a official translation, since it has been passed A FREAKIN LONG TIME since the game was released. Normally an english patch would be made in 6 months, not passing a year a so after the game release. (Sorry for the repetitive words, quite in a hurry >.<)

 

[GameWinner]

Guys, if there was an official translation in the works then Namco probably would've sent a C&D letter or something.
Or they could be totally cool with it like NISA was with the Dangan Ronpa translation.
