But will the game be grammatically correct? Because it really looks like it won't, based on the screenshots.

The screenshots are ancient. (Well before people like Byuu and myself came on board to try and finish this thing) Take everything you know and throw it out the window. It's all been rewritten anyway. (EDIT> And is still being rewritten)

Amyy>If, when the Alpha/Beta is built, you wish to proofread the resulting English, that may be a possibility (you should talk to Yugix about that when the time comes)

Hookoo> That's fine. The translation is looking better by the day (lots of small things like I mentioned before) but the biggest obstacle is actually putting it all in the game. I have asked the creator of the original tools for assistance so if that part can be sped up then we are much closer to generating an English version of this game.

I actually have other projects I want to work on so I'd really like to push forward to get this thing out much like how Retro Game Challenge 2 and Blood of Bahamut came out this past year. I still want to do Retro Game Exam (Namco) and maybe take a crack at Sigma Harmonics or even Ni no Kuni (DS) since it is significantly different in spots compared to the home console release.

I absolutely love ni no kuni

I can hardly wait for this to be ready, keep up the amazing work ^.^
I hope everything goes well for you guys.

Every time I come back to see how far along the project is, i get amazed by the progress made. I wish there was some way I could help but as it is i already have several projects of my own to deal with.

Saw someone ask this in the Digimon re:digitize blog, so i gonna ask this here too.
Do you guys plan to name some minor npcs, itens, or something else with your names?
As a fan of your amazing work i think is a good idea to remember all the effort that was put in this translation project. ^^

Whatever is named after Black-Ice, if anything at all, I can confirm will be overpowered or insanely important ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

If this naming thing is going down I would like to request that the Guilmon be named Epix after myself (my screen name in almost everything)

Hi. This is probably the wrong place, but does anyone know if there's just a menu translation released anywhere here? I can do without the story and it usually sucks (it sucked in DWDS and Dawn/Dusk).

i highly doubt that they will ever release the translation in parts like that. Also, personally I liked the story in those games.

    There are very few people I just have just an immense dislike of and he's one of those very few people, the only other example is Gene Simmons. My musician uncle on my mother's side of the family actually met Gene once during some event and said he was the most unpleasant person to be around.
