Hacking Final Fantasy Type-0 RomHacking

[Legado]

Hey Sky, since you have a bit more free time, would it be possible to patch the demo version with only the menu translated?

 

[rakichaneru]

I've still got my hat in the ring for a Yakuza 5 translation, since you specifically said you were interested in the PS3.

 

[SkyBladeCloud]

Regarding the demo, I suggested doing it a long time ago, but the idea was disregarded in favor of the final game. It could be 99% done with what we have translated so far, however, the remaining 1% is text that was altered for the final release, and that would have to be re translated. We can consider doing it after releasing the full patch, even though it doesn't really make much sense releasing a demo AFTER the game, lol; it makes less sense postponing the game, to release a demo of it. The other pain is the demo having some videos with text, that aren't present in the final game, they are just some lines, but for the time being, we have enough with videos present in the full game.

As for Yakuza 5, as long as the rest of the team agrees on a title, I'm in. It's true that I'd like to do a PS3 one, but I'd like to stick with the current team even more xD

If you still want to release the demo, you can release it with the 99% and leave the rest (including the videos with text) untranslated, or even blank it out/replace with random messages if it's glitchy text. No need to polish it more than what the publishers themselves would have done.

I finished the demo, back when it first came out, anyways. A demo is meant to be a playable teaser of an unreleased game, but if translating the demo makes it take longer to get the full game, why bother? Everything important that we experience in the demo is going to be in the full game, the difference is we'll get to play ALL OF IT. Doesn't make sense. If it's about the content unlocked for beating the demo, it definitely doesn't need translating, as every English speaker who wanted this game at it's release has most likely already beat it, same as I have, with no knowledge of the Japanese language. And even so, the last I heard, the team isn't even sure if the demo's save will work properly with the patched version of the full game. Although, asking the team to translate the demo IS a clever compromise from asking them to release a beta.

Yakuza 5? I thought you got more responses from Tales of Vesperia PS3 and Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity PSP??? And even though my vote is for Vesperia, Phantasy Star was the most popular amongst people here..... It's not a PS3 game.... but.....

 

[Deleted User]

hmm Lord of Apocalypse was one of the options as well i think. They should make a poll after releasing type-0 and see =D

 

[Zyphr]

Back when we started discussing the next translation, Sky said he was going to put a poll up. I don't see why that would have changed. Regardless, we still have 4 months max before we see this translation, so I'm sure that instead of thinking about the next translation they're focusing on getting this patch to us.

I've never been much of a Yakuza or Phantasy Star fan, so out of the recent choices, ToV would be my vote, although I've only ever liked one game of the series enough to finish it, and that was Tales of Legendia.

You know, I was also thinking.... nobody's ever touched Kingdom Hearts Final Mix or the bloody japanese versions of the 3 Xenosaga games. PS2 games, I know but I'd love to see those in english. Especially since there's already english voices in at least KH FM.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix had Kingdom Hearts Final Mix in English.

 

[LoyalZero1]

Yeah. I know. But there's still people out there who don't have PS3's but who do have PC's to play it on.

 

[zfreeman]

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix on the PS2 has been translated for the most part. It seems like the PC emulator has a better time handling it, as the hacked translation breaks the game in some parts on the actual hardware.

[Zyphr]

Plus why do what's already been done on at least some sort of hardware? I'm sure that Sky's team would want to translate something that is completely inaccessible to the west otherwise, like they're doing with Type-0.

 

[rakichaneru]

I can't for the life of me figure out why people want other people to waste time on games that have already been released in English in some form or another, like Tales of Vesperia or god forbid Kingdom Hearts (again?). Yakuza 5 is a fan favorite series that SEGA has once again given their Western audience a huge kick in the nuts with, releasing Yakuza 4, one of the best games on PS3, then the abominable Yakuza Dead Souls, and then refusing to release Y5 because Dead Souls got such a poor reception. Furthermore, the Yakuza games (after the first ones) have never been voiced in English and instead just had all the text in the game translated. The audience knows what they want.

ToV has already been released in English once, and it's a waste of a talented translation resource like this current team to have them do it again just so some people can get their loli pirate fix.

PSP2i is a game for a dead system that doesn't even need a translation to be enjoyed.

There are games with excellent changes on their re-release.

Compare FF12 with FF12 IZJS or P2IS with the PSP version.

Disgaea series and almost any Nippon Ichi game are good examples too, the original versions of almost any game before Disgaea 2 are terrible in comparisson with the re-releases.

Okay, that's it, my hat has been officially thrown in for FF12: IZJS. Period.

Don't know why I've never looked it up, but that's how the game should have been in the first place. It needs to see western shores.

 

[GHANMI]

Well then, if you want Japan-exclusive PSP RPG'y stuff that's not being worked on by someone else, or released in any form in English...

Spoiler: A list

* Suikoden (final game in the series, I hear it's bad though)
* Tengai Makyou IV (Earthbound-like game) ; text in Shift-JIS, half-width font already programmed, but couldn't find the font -in fact I'd like to find it
* Nayuta no Kiseki (Ys 7/Zwei-like, by Falcom, NOT text heavy like the Trails series, which it shares only the name with); text in Shift-JIS, half-width font already programmed, font found and full (it's the same as Ys 7) - seems like the fantranslators working on Zwei 1 (psp/pc) and 2 (pc) sold their work to a publisher, so no use doing those two atm
* Brandish (Action-RPG, Falcom, was already released on SNES but this is almost completely different), same as above
* Ore no Shikabane wo Koete no Yuke (aka Over My Dead Body, a first-party Sony RPG)
* Summon Night 1/2/3/4/5 (tactical-RPGs, similar to Disgea)
* Senritsu no Stratos? (Konami, platformer/A-RPG hybrid)
* Last Ranker (has someone ready to translate the text, who did already all the main scenes)
* Frontier Gate Boost+ (Tri-Ace, monster hunter style game with turn-based battles..)
* God Eater 2
* Time Travelers (?)
* 7th Dragon 2020
* Zill O'll Infinite Plus
* Venus and Braves
* Rezel Cross
* Shining games? (they are shitty indeed)

The Tales games are being worked on (notably Rebirth, and Phantasia X) except for the Destiny remake, which is anyways available in English on the PS1, and Destiny 2.
Princess Crown's original Saturn version is getting translated
SRW, Sakura Taisen and Trails in the Sky 3 are pretty much a lost cause
..hack//Link and the Idolmasters are being translated each.
Danball Senki games have menu patches, same for a Digimon game based on the anime that was never finished
Conception 1 and Akiba's Trip 1 : their sequels are being localized

 

[BrightNeko]

* Time Travelers (?)

It isn't an RPG, it is a time traveling game by level 5 that is similar to 999, heavy rain, or shadow of destiny. Pretty much a visual novel with puzzles, and more gameplay than "choose a route, go down that route."

Then you may want to look at the already Translated patch

Truthkey already did a little menu translation if you're interested
