Just wanted to say that is great progress
You guys should create a table on the first page.
If you want to make things easier.
So I'm guessing it will be a 2016 patch?
We can't really know for sure when it's going to be finished, and I doubt that any of us want to give ETAs, since we're not entirely sure how long it'll take, ourselves. It could be 2016, but who knows? It may take longer than that, or it may take shorter. It all depends on the rate at which we can work, and how quickly we are able to deal with any issues that may arise along the way.
Trust me, we're trying our hardest to work as fast as we can, but we all have lives, jobs, and/or schooling that comes before this project. On top of that, we're trying to deliver a professional-looking product that will be on-par with an official release. This is no easy feat, however. All I can really say is that the project will be done when it's done; asking for any estimated release time will probably lead to disappointment if we can't meet our goals. We're not going to release shoddy work if it's not done, you know? Just try to be patient with us; we're doing our best. Giving estimates won't make the game come any faster.
If you keep up to date with this thread, though, I'm sure Aegehn will continue to post updates as we make progress. If you give feedback on what it is that you see, we can use any constructive criticism to make our product look the best that it can be.

This sounds very complicated. This may an unrelated question but I'm curious if UMD discs like the ones used by PSP are easier to hack and translate than regular CD and DVD discs. I am asking because there are many PSP translations but barely any tranlations of a Japanese PS1 and PS2 games.
I understand everything you have said and I appreciate you guys taking time out of your lives to do this
Keep up the good work.

I wouldn't say that PS1/PS2 games are harder to hack and translate, but rather, there is a severe lack of tools available to do said hacking and translating. It's more difficult to play the hacked games on original PS2 hardware. There are quite a few PS1 translations however, though not nearly as numerous as those for the PSP. This may be because these PSP games can be played on the PSP, and are generally easier to run on emulators.
I guess in the end, it kind of boils down to demand. If more people want a game to be translated, there is a higher probability of it being translated. A lot of PSP games are in high demand to be played in English, thus resulting in so many projects. I guess this kinda answers your question, right?
What tools exactly are missing? PS1 and PS2 have countless good Japanese only RPG's thus I'm surprised that there is no demand but they are often very obscure and old so maybe no one who is able to translate them, knows about them.
Time for an update!
Things have been pretty good since last week. First, FlyingClimber, a new member, has joined us. He works on translation, especially some in the famous big file. More than half of the cut-scenes have now been translated by KHHsubs, plus all the in-game dialogs of the first chapter!Here's some screenshots :
I'm read about your project just now on Polish Playstaion fan site and want to thanks for good work. Also if you still need someone for graphic editing I can help you with that?
Aghen and KHHsubs and the rest of your team need to check this out.

The last time I saw a article for a psp translation was for type 0
I hope this gives you some enthusiasm to continue your excellent work.

We just hit a big milestone - 100% of cutscenes are done!
I've waited for someone to translate this for so long that I actually finished both games without any knowledge of Japanese and now I'll finally get to know what the story is about. These games are amazing and I love you guys for doing this. Keep up the amazing work.
So, as KHHSubs said, all the game cutscenes have been translated, thanks to his work. Coming next are in-game story lines, chapter by chapter. Flyingclimber worked on an in-browser script to check translations formatting, making sure the lines don't go overscreen. This will prove very useful, because we won't have to test, re-format the translations and re-test. And of course, work is still being done on graphics thanks to FShadow. But there is still a lot of work, so don't expect anything soon.
