Hi,
many years have passed since the 3Ds version of Dragon Quest XI has been released in Japan.
Ever since then I have looked up if any news for an english patch of the game has come out.
Sadly, this has not been the case and with the release of the definitive version I can understand why.
It is just too niche of a project and also takes alot of time and effort.
So I recently got the urge to look into it myself even though i do not speak japanese myself and have the understanding of a N5 level speaker.
With all that being said I extracted the games files and then started extracting the individual .pack files using quickbms.
My main problem now is that I do not know what type of further compression SE has used, so it is kinda impossible to get my hands on any kind of text.
If this is even the right track...
I do not know of any kind of former translation efforts.
The only attempt I ever saw was a video of someone showing part of the beginning translated which I cannot find anymore.
I am new to HEX editing and also not very good at it as you might imagine but I would like to challenge myself even if it is not perfect or unfinished.
So any kind of help or detailed knowledge would be appreciated.
Best regards
