I have to admit, I'm curious. I have part2, but my stubborn self threw it into my case of lined up GBA games a few years ago. I stumbled across locally somewhere around here for just a few bucks to find out it's part of the $100+ club, wanting to do the first, saw the same and I don't pay that for games so I've been persistent.

I've seen competing stories say they should be done in order, or between the two that exist you lose nothing just skipping it and gain a few quality of life improvements. If that's the case, would playing out 2 make sense in order to get more from 3 late in the year if the date tracks?

There's no real need to play them in order. They all take place in the same world, but the stories are all pretty self-contained. The only real difference is QOL stuff.

@CornStarch Ok so that was accurate, good. is there all that much of a change if I do find or eat it on #1 where it will feel jarring going back then?

Also I work a lot of hours, is there a solid site with maybe some overworld maps I can reference? I don't want to outright slow walk the thing using a guide ruining things. If you saw the finds threat I stumbled across Dragon Warrior 4, 3 and Krion Conquest among others a week ago now, and I'm working on 4 and have the OG guide for it, but just using it on maps as a refernce to compare.

@VmprHntrD I don't think there's too much of a QOL difference between Swordcraft 2 and Swordcraft 3. The first game has more of a different feel, but not much of a difference gameplay-wise. I personally prefer the first game over the second. I'm biased about the third, so it's hard to compare it with the other two.

There are no guides with maps that I know of. We've used a couple Japanese guides for reference, but none of them had maps.

@CornStarch fair enough. One to slug through like the old days, though using something like the analogue pocket or gb operator I could hot save myself out of a headache I suppose with a lack of even a basic map which is fine. The 30min I did touch it before the game seemed to have a pretty decent combat mechanic that kept it more fresh.

PROJECT UPDATE

Hey all, this is a big one. The translation project is nearly finished. Right now, two proofreaders who are very talented are individually looking over the script as a whole. I think the current script is pretty solid, but I've seen their improvements and I believe there is merit in delaying the project for a bit longer. It's mostly slight rewordings that avoid repetitious filler words like "Okay", "yeah", "of course", etc. while also improving general readability. I think the patch is coming together pretty good. I spoke with both of them and we worked out a deadline.

November 5th, 2026.

The patch should be completely finished by this date. I know it seems a bit later than you may expect. There's a few reasons for that. First of all, I don't expect it to take nearly that long. It's not exactly the deadline we worked out. I gave it ample padding just in case. Also, people in the Discord may know this, but November 5th marks 1 year since I inherited leadership of the project from Zelly_9191. So the date is more of a decoration, than anything. We will release the patch when it is finished, which will be on or before this date.

We all agreed that if they cannot finish their edits by the deadline we set, then we will release the patch in it's current state. Subsequent edits will be released as an update. I wouldn't worry too much on that front. They both work better with a deadline and they are none too fond of having their edits in a bonus update. So I have confidence they will pull through.

The next update I put in here will be when we are finished. We are in the final stretch! As I said in a previous update, the patch will be hosted on Github and in the Discord server.

Man, this is awesome news =)

can't wait to play this game finally in english.

Your hardworking team did a superb job making it this far to complete it.

Keep up the motivation to make many people happy that love this game.
