It has been a while, i'm back with my PS3 and time
In the meantime i will reformulate this thread and soon release a new version, with disc version support
Sorry for posting here so late, but I just found out this game got an english patch!
I bought the PS4 version when it was released not having a PS4, only a PS3, because I wanted to support them, the game is very nice and deserved it, but I got disappointed I couldn't be able to play it in my PS3 in english.
I really really thank you people for making small dreams come true Now I can buy a copy in japanese for my oldie ps3 and play the patched one (yes, I always do, I know playing backups only isn't illegal in my country but I feel bad if I do without buying a copy).

Thank you very much, and the disc version support will be awesome since is more easy get the disc/rip/folder version of the game than the psn version this days
Hello, I have a PS3 super slim with HFW 4.86 and HEN 3.0.1
I was able to run the game without an edited EBOOT.BIN, I just downloaded the .rap file and resigned it with ps3xploit-resigner using my own idps and act.dat files. this process gives me an installable pkg file (PKG_RIF-INSTALLER.pkg_signed.pkg), so I installed the game, all updates and then the english patch, then I installed the PKG_RIF-INSTALLER.pkg_signed.pkg and the game run without any trouble
this process is way easier, if anyone has troubles with the edited eboot you should try this

I have a super slim PS3 too. I would be very grateful if you could explain me better how you did it, or refer me to some site, or video.I would be very grateful if you could explain me better how you did it, or refer me to some site, or video.

Hi, thanks for translating the game, now the problem. I put both eboot and .rap file in the ESSE folder but got a klicense error. what should I do?
Also I put the .rap file in the rap folder of ESSE and It gave me 4 options, can the eboot instructions be more precise please?
E/S/S/S/E Resigner only decrypt-encrypt in one step, not only decrypt (this can be done manually or with other tool).
In your screenshoot (after select option "A) Resign EBOOT"), you must stop there and check in your folder to see a new file generated named "EBOOT.BIN.ELF" (file decrypted). Use this file "EBOOT.BIN.ELF" to patch with xdelta/IPS ENG, then overwrite this file on your E/S/S/S/E Resigner folder and proceed to select "Resign FREE TYPE NPDRM" 3.55 (if you use HEN) or 4.21 if you use CFW (the 3.55/HEN would work).
ATTENTION - NO patched EBOOT's, or decrypted, or game RAP files will be provided here.
Installing game assets
Install the full game.
Copy "JP0106-NPJB00716_00-DARK000MASTER000-A0103-V0100.pkg" (it's the ENG patch + update v1.03 integrated) from "NPJB00716EN-V103.7z" to usb:/packages/
On PS3 go to Package Manager and install the package
Patching EBOOT.BIN (Tutorial adapted from froid_san)
Using multiman/FTP/usb, go to hdd0:/game/NPJB00716/USRDIR/ and copy the EBOOT.BIN to your PC.
NOTE: you can extract on PC the EBOOT.BIN from the .PKG file with "pkgview v1.3" or "PS3P PKG Ripper Gui V1.4.3" (better). Wait until load the files (+8.000 files). Only extract the EBOOT.BIN, not needed to extract all.
Dump the game RAP (or get it somewhere)
copy EBOOT.BIN and game RAP to your ESSSE RESIGNER v4.5.4 folder, placing the .rap file on "RAPS" folder.
Using ESSSE RESIGNER v4.5.4 run ESSSE_RESIGNER.bat
Select [A. Resign EBOOT]
A warning about with Free type NPDRM EBOOT will show up, just press any key to continue (Maybe not showed up)
When you see the (pic 1)*(see the footnote), Stop there! Don't touch anything.
The EBOOT.BIN will be decrypted to EBOOT.ELF in your ESSSE RESIGNER v4.5.4 folder (you might need to press F5 to refresh the folder)
Rename EBOOT.ELF to EBOOT.ELF.ORIG
Run xdeltaUI and select “Apply Patch” tab
On Patch, select either “EBOOT.ELF.xdelta”
On Source file, select the EBOOT.ELF.ORIG
On Output file, save it on the same folder and name it to EBOOT.ELF
Select “Patch”
Back to ESSSE RESIGNER v4.5.4, select [2. Resign to FREE TYPE NPDRM 4.21], or [1. Resign to FREE TYPE NPDRM 3.55] for HEN users.
On Compress Eboot You can select which ever you want but i personally use [2. NO] just so it would be the same size as the original.
A new EBOOT.BIN will now be resigned
Copy that back to your hdd0:/game/NPJB00716/USRDIR/

hello everyone, I am Spanish speaking and I don't know if I am going to express well what I want to say in English, it is normal that when I install the patch there are only the character dialogues in English and manu at the beginning, since the other menus, The names of the characters, the dialogues in combat and some events are in total and pure Japanese, if anyone would be super kind enough to explain it to me, I would really appreciate it
