Gaming Persona 2: Eternal Punishment - Time for a Fan Translation?

[Tobi555]

Are the spells, fusion spells, and persona names all going to be corrected also, or is it just the character names and location names being corrected? Hopefully it all gets corrected xD

Quick update on project?

 

[Tobi555]

According to Persona 1 PSP and Innocent Sin PSP Yukino's dialogue boxes display "Yukino" will that be retained or are you keeping the Revelations nickname of Yuki for the translation? I know the characters give her a nickname but if you translate the name in her dialogue boxes it says "Yukino" just curious. Also are you correcting all the names along with spells and fusion spell names and persona names?
Americanized: Saeko Smith, Principal Harding, Tammy, Tad, Mary, Sky Museum, Ellen, Nate, Yuki, Chris, Brad, Guido, Masked Circle, Araya Shrine, Chunky
Accurate: Ms. Saeko, Principal Hanya (Hannya), Tamaki, Tadashi, Maki, Aerospace Museum, Elly, Kei Nanjo, Yukino, Reiji Kido, Hidehiko "Brown" Uesugi, Takahisa Kandori, Masquerade, Alaya Shrine, Kenta "Toro" Yokouchi

Sorry if I come off as a bother I just really want this game to line up perfectly with the translation of P1 PSP and P2 IS PSP. >.< The list of names above is directly what the names would be from an Atlus editor from an article I just don't know if I could post that here or not. Then again you may already have plans for everything I've asked about. I've just been waiting for Traduko Soft's translation for a long time and wanted to make sure that at least one groups translation is going smoothly so I know in my mind that it's not dead. Thank you for all your hard work guys pertaining to this game it means alot!!! Keep up the good work!! C:

Names would not 100% line up, from what I see, but for sure would remove lot of americanized names, where it is appropriate. Yuki would stay, I do not like Yukino at all. Project is not dead, Iwakura works on editing gradually. We are now aimed to apply all textes we have scripted in dialogues and dungeons, so battle/persona/menu textes would be much later. Technically I did not touched battle text hacks at all and I suppose it also have a separate VFW routine, so would have to change that as well.

 

[Tobi555]

Does anyone know if its easy to switch the button functions in the code for the patch or not? Like how the Circle and Cross buttons have their fuctions switched for Japanese games. Anyways thanks for all your guys' hard work I really appreciate it Also, Iwakura are you using the lists people have created on this forum of the localization changes for your script or just changing whatever comes to mind because I know many names like Toro, Hanya, etc. can be overlooked and many lists here have every term that has been localized that needs changing. Thank you for your hard editing work! just curious

Nostalgia time

 

[cj_iwakura]

We're sticking to the original Japanese as appropriate, i.e. Toro and Hannya and Kandori, yes. I've played every Persona game at least twice, so I know my source material.

 

[Tobi555]

Ok thank goodness never second guessed your knowledge on source material since you said it was in faithful hands XD but just wondered that and script update?

 

[cj_iwakura]

If you want a percentage, don't ask, it'll make you sad. I will say most of shop content is underway.

 

[Scorp]

@Tobi555 cross and circle would be switched, same as in Innocent Sin and any other US-released game.
Do not ask for percentages, this is nearly impossible to count in current state.

So how is the project progressing?

 

[Scorp]

Dunno. Somehow progressing.

 

[revengerofdeath]

Today is the 20th anniversary of the Devil Summoner...still waiting for english patch. #smt #devilsummoner #atlus

 

[cj_iwakura]

That's wildly unrelated, but EsperKnight and an anon by the name of Debisa are working on it.

Topic?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

So...how about the P2 project? Is it still somehow progressing?

 

[cj_iwakura]

Yes, it is. When there's bigger updates, you'll know(and one is certainly pending).

 

[SandyFarron]

Why even bother changing any of the names then? Why not do a patch of Persona 1 Portable to port over all the Revelations names and graphic changes? While we're at it, let's hack Innocent Sin to add in the Revelations names too. Don't forget to make everyone white except Mark and Yuki. Oh, and don't forget to cut out the Snow Queen Quest.

I don't like Maya's name, let's change it to Martha.

Feel free to do whatever you want. If you're able to. No objections.

Really? Oh gosh, I am so hyped
