The decision to allow DLC in Loadiine but only if you bought them is a good decision.
It isn't actually a decision, it's a limitation. DLC you didn't purchase doesn't work even if you have the files for Loadiine to use because Loadiine is not able to make the necessary changes to the title.db and related files for the game to see that you have the DLC installed.

Ok, good to know. I thought it was a decision because I read it but... I guess he talked only about the way to install DLC (you have to run a retail / eShop version).

Anyway, I think that's good. Loadiine should be a backup loader and nothing else. Games like Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE don't sell well. So I hope people will use this patch wisely.

I know that that's why I asked if it's possible to make a texture edit like what's been and done in Super Smash Bros U with the Bayonetta and Corrin uncensor mods
It's certinally possible, we can pack and unpack the files now, however none of us have the prowes nessicary to do so. And if anyone to was to do it, it wouldn't be us anyways, we want to keep the game like the Japanese version, and if the change was in the Japanese version, we're 99.9% sure we're going to keep it that way.

How would it make sense to allow piracy with Loadiine but not allow the DLC to be pirated?

Did anyone really think that was done on purpose? I still dont agree with the US/EU version being restored but whatever.

Sn0w already explained the technical reasons of why we did it like that. If you think you can overcome those difficulties you are free to try.

As for the DLC, AFAIK is a limitation of the current method of hacking and not an arbitrary limitation we (or the loadiine creators) put.

All I'm saying is whenever it is figured out we most likely will not be able to play with the Japan exclusive DLC because of the region lock. Thats my only concern.

If we do ever gain enough control to install titles the way we have been on our 3DSs, then the region locking will be a thing of the past. Out of region DLC does work on the 3DS currently. :)

Can I patch a newer version of your patch over an older version that I already patched?
If I dump the game, use your v1.1 patch now and you're releasing v1.2 tomorrow I can patch it over, right?

When you patch the game for the first time, the patcher create a copy of the original files that you can use to update the patch. The patcher itself offer an upgrade system, where you can patch just the files that received an update, finally you can check if the files are up to date and patched correctly with the integrated file check. It's good, almost too good!

Firstly, I would like to say a big thank you to those that worked on this patch, it’s awesome.

Now I’ve got a big problem, I just finished chapter 1 dungeon/boss and currently in the intermission. I have to go to Uzume to start chapter 2, however the game crashes EVERY time I try to start Ch2. I even replayed Ch1 dungeon/boss using previous save but still have the same problem and can’t progress the game. Not sure if it’s the game or the patch but can someone please have a go using my saves? I’m using Eur/5.3.2/loadiine gx2. Any info would be much appreciated thanks.

What version of the patch are you currently on? You can find this by hovering over the eShop option in the title screen.
If it's not the latest version, please try updating and seeing if the crash still persists.

Whoops sorry forgot to mention. I started with 1.0 yesterday and updated to 1.1 today. Crash happens with 1.1 as far as I know Cheers.

Okay, I'll take a look into it using an older version of the patch first and then move to the latest version.
However I believe I entered Chapter 2 using 0.9.4, which was the last major change to anything other than the messages file, but either way, I'll take a look.

Amazingly fast work on that 1.1 patch :) The other dialogue changes that I noticed as I've been playing are that when Tsubasa is hunting down Little Devil, she makes reference to teasing/being devilish towards 'everyone', when in the Japanese version she mentions quite a few times about teasing and being devilish towards men (most obvious by the fact that in these lines she uses the word 'Otoko'). Again, it's a small thing that I noticed as I've been playing, so if you'd like me to highlight any more of these minor discrepancies as I'm playing just let me know. :)

I'm only really playing for fun, but I know my Japanese fairly well, so these things have stood out enough to be noticeable as I've been casually playing. Hence the commentary.

Also, I'd like to raise my hand as someone who wouldn't have bought this game with the prevalent censorship, but has/is buying the game (I'm getting the Japanese version) solely due to the efforts of this restoration patch team!


Btw, does that Blender shot imply that you can import and export models to the game...?

Hard to catch everything, we'll check it against the Japanese script to make sure if we find it.

And yes, the Blender shot implies we can indeed take the models and textures out of the game. The models have some poor results with texture mapping (as you can see), but overall seem to work quite well.

@rsyatagarasu

I've test this on both my 0.9.4 and 1.1 copies, and I can't get a crash to happen upon entering the training studio (I played up until Chapter 2 starts with the conversation about the disapearing Gravure Models), perhaps try verifying your files with the patcher and try a fresh patch of the game rather than using the update function

Have these spacing issues/typos been fixed? There was also a missing apostrophe on the word "Cause" at the beginning of Kiria's Reincarnation video. I'm still on 0.9.4.

Problem solved :) I downloaded all the files again and made a fresh patch. I should have done this in the first place but didn’t want to waste hours downloading all the files again for minor dialogue changes, obviously that didn’t work out. So relieved for now. Anyway thanks for all your help Sn0wCrack!

The first two screens were fixed on 1.0, the third is like that, same for Kiria's reincarnation pv, we didn't touched those.

People, please be sure to be on the latest version of the patch before reporting anything.
Thanks~
