[RELEASE] Trails in the Sky FC Evolution English Patch

2awXyXE.png

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (英雄伝説VI 空の軌跡) is a Japanese role-playing video game developed by Nihon Falcom. It is commonly referred to as Trails in the Sky First Chapter (英雄伝説 空の軌跡FC) to distinguish itself from the rest of the games in the Trails in the Sky series. The game is the first game in trilogy of titles, which also includes Trails in the Sky Second Chapter and Trails in the Sky the 3rd, and collectively, the titles create the sixth entry in the larger The Legend of Heroes series of video games.

A redesigned version of the game titled The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC Evolution was released in Japan for the PlayStation Vita on June 11, 2015. Evolution renovated the old designs and user interface and incorporated several new features such as voice acting and animation in scenes, additional illustrations, and enhanced battle tactics.


About
This patch provides a full English patch for Trails in the Sky FC Evolution (known as Sora no Kiseki FC Evolution in Japan). It applies the XSEED translation from the PC version of Trails in the Sky (with Evolution-exclusive content translated by our team). This patch would not exist without XSEED's translation; please buy the original game to support them: [Steam] [GOG] [Humble]. Compared to the original Trails in the Sky, the Evolution version includes the following changes:
  • Fully voiced story, with over 30,000 voiced lines
  • Redone artwork with more character portraits and event images
  • Arranged soundtrack
  • Text backlog
  • Hold X to speed up battles animations, cutscenes by 4x
  • Greatly improved text font
  • UI improvements

Known Issues
  • Text will sometimes overflow slightly past the text box (but it should never go off screen and be unreadable).
  • DLC is now supported with rePatch, but some item names and descriptions may still be in Japanese.
If you find any other bugs, please email them to Snigs at snkfcevo (dot) eng (at) gmail (dot) com, and we will probably update the patch as we work on the other games.

System Requirements
To run this translation patch, you need:
  • A PlayStation Vita or PlayStation TV running firmware version 3.60 or lower. For Vitas, buying from eBay is a good way to ensure that the version is 3.60 or lower and capable of running Henkaku, although they can be more expensive. For PSTVs, buying new on US Amazon seems to guarantee a firmware version below 3.60 and they are quite cheap at the moment.
  • A Japanese copy of Sora no Kiseki FC Evolution; physical or digital will work. It must be the Japanese version of the game, and it must be updated to the latest patch, version 1.02.
Installation (with rePatch)
Two files need to be patched: eboot.bin and data.psarc. Please ensure that your Japanese copy of Trails in the Sky FC Evolution is patched to v1.02, the latest version. The translation patch only supports the latest version.
  1. Install and enable the latest version of rePatch (2.71 alpha or later) if you do not have it already (instructions here)​
  2. Download the translation patch from the link below.​
  3. If you have the physical version of the game, you may optionally use NoNpDrm to rip the game to your Vita so that the game card isn't needed to play the game (instructions here).​
  4. Use FAGDec (download here) and do the following steps to generate a decrypted eboot.bin:
    Now run FAG Dec, select the desided game using X button and then press X button again on DECRYPT ALL(DONE). Press O to get back to main menu and press START button and select START DECRYPT(SELF) to start decrypting.​
  5. In VitaShell, copy the following files to your computer:
    ux:0/FAGDec/patch/PCSG00488/eboot.bin (if you are missing this file, make sure you installed the latest game patch, v1.02, from PSN before running FAGDec)​
  6. You will need to obtain a decrypted copy of the data.psarc file. Browse to ux0:app/PCSG00488 (for digital) or gro0:app/PCSG00488 (for physical).​
  7. Press triangle, select Open decrypted. Press SELECT to open FTP server (switch it under START key if you have USB connection chosen). You must transfer over FTP, I've confirmed transferring over USB doesn't work and still gets the encrypted file.​
  8. Using FTP client on PC, connect to vita, then copy either ux0:/app/PCSG00488/gamedata/data.psarc (for digital) or gro0:/app/PCSG00488/gamedata/data.psarc (for physical) to your PC.​
  9. If you've followed every step correctly so far, you should now have a decrypted eboot.bin and data.psarc on your PC, ready to patch.​
  10. Use xdelta to patch eboot.bin. Use the following settings under Apply Patch:
    Patch: eboot-originalbgm.bin or eboot-evolutionbgm.bin from the downloaded patch, depending on which soundtrack you want the patched game to use. See the FAQ below for more information.
    Source File: eboot.bin copied from your Vita.
    Output File: anywhere, use eboot.bin for the filename.​
  11. Use xdelta to patch data.psarc. Use the following settings under Apply Patch:
    Patch: data.psarc.xdelta from the downloaded patch.
    Source File: data.psarc copied from your Vita.
    Output File: anywhere, use data.psarc for the filename.​
  12. Copy the newly patched data.psarc and eboot.bin to the following locations:
    ux0:rePatch/PCSG00488/gamedata/data.psarc
    ux0:rePatch/PCSG00488/eboot.bin
  13. Close VitaShell and run the game.​

Two files need to be patched: eboot.bin and data.psarc. Please ensure that your Japanese copy of Trails in the Sky FC Evolution is patched to v1.02, the latest version. The translation patch only supports the latest version.
  1. Download the patch from the link below.
  2. Connect the Vita to your PC via USB.
  3. You will need to use MaiDumpTool to dump and install the game in the following steps.
  4. In Mai, select Extract/Decrypt content - [PCSG00488][英雄伝説 空の軌跡FC Evolution] - Extract the game and decrypt eboot (incl. suprx). This may take around 15 minutes or so.
  5. In Mai, select Extract/Decrypt content - [PCSG00488][英雄伝説 空の軌跡FC Evolution] - Extract game patch and eboot (including suprx). This may take a couple of minutes.
  6. Return to the home menu and delete the game (back up save data first if necessary).
  7. In Mai, Install game from folder - PCSG0048.
  8. In Mai, Install patch from folder - PCSG00488_patch. Sometimes this process ends in a failure message, but it seems like it can be ignored safely.
  9. With the digital copy of the game installed, open VitaShell and copy the following files to your PC:
    ux0:app/PCSG00488/eboot.bin
    ux0:app/PCSG00488/gamedata/data.psarc
  10. Use xdelta to patch eboot.bin. Use the following settings under Apply Patch:
    Patch: eboot-originalbgm.bin.xdelta or eboot-evolutionbgm.bin.xdelta from the downloaded patch, depending on which soundtrack you want the patched game to use. See the FAQ below for more information.
    Source File: eboot.bin copied from your Vita.
    Output File: anywhere, use eboot.bin for the filename.
  11. Use xdelta to patch data.psarc. Use the following settings under Apply Patch:
    Patch: data.psarc.xdelta from the downloaded patch.
    Source File: data.psarc copied from your Vita.
    Output File: anywhere, use data.psarc for the filename.
  12. Copy the newly patched data.psarc from your PC back to ux0:app/PCSG0488/gamedata/, overriding the existing data.psarc. Copy the newly patched eboot.bin from your PC back to ux0:app/PCSG00488/, overriding the existing eboot.bin.
  13. Close VitaShell and run the game.

FAQs
  • I get an error when trying to launch the game!
    Make sure that your original game is the Japanese version of Trails in the Sky Evolution, and that it's updated to version 1.02.
  • Will you work on Trails in the Sky SC Evolution or Trails in the Sky the 3rd Evolution?
    Yes, they are planned eventually, but keep in mind that FC took over six months to complete. It's possible SC and 3rd won't require as much time as FC, but there's no way to tell for sure.
    Update: SC is now released (http://gbatemp.net/threads/release-trails-in-the-sky-sc-evolution-english-patch.495971/#post-7819736)
  • Will you work on Trails to Zero (Zero no Kiseki) Evolution and Trails to Azure (Ao no Kiseki) Evolution?
    Only if XSEED releases them on PC first. Again, please buy the Trails games on PC to support them and make that more likely.
  • Should I use the Original soundtrack or the Evolution soundtrack?
    I believe that the original soundtrack is superior overall, based on what I've heard myself and from what I've read online. For newcomers to the series, I highly recommend selecting the original soundtrack. For those that have played the PSP or PC version before, the Evolution version is worth trying if you want a fresh take on the soundtrack; some people do prefer it, and there are some Evolution tracks that I prefer over the originals myself. You can switch eboot.bin at any time to switch the game soundtrack, so feel free to experiment.
  • My save files disappeared and I can't save the game.
    This is a known issue with dumped games on the Vita, where you can't save after leaving the Vita on sleep for a while and then resuming. Follow these steps in order to fix.
  • Can I swap the X and O buttons (X to confirm, O to cancel)?
    Try this homebrew: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-button-swap-plugin-for-taihen.453829/
Version History
The version of the translation patch you are currently running is shown when you first load the game (it looks like this). Please make sure you are running the latest version of the translation patch.

VersionDate ReleasedRelease Notes
1.1a (Latest version)July 26, 2018Updated to support rePatch and compatibility packs. No other changes;
the version will still display 1.1 when launching the game.
1.1July 8, 2017Fixes bugs with some broken shops and a few instances of untranslated dialogue
occurring later in the game. Compared to version 1.0, only data.psarc has been modified,
so users running version 1.0 only need to update data.psarc.
1.0May 31, 2017Initial release.

Again: This patch would not exist without XSEED's translation. Please buy the original game to support them: [Steam] [GOG] [Humble]. (Especially if you want Zero/Ao no Kiseki to come to the west like us!)

Sorry but I don't have any new updates to share, so the info in my last post still stands.

I've been swamped with work for the past few months and more recently I've spent what little remaining free time I've had playing Sen 4. Work has finally been slowing down recently, and I beat Sen 4, so I should be able to resume work on this patch soon.

Glad to hear you are still working on it. Thanks for not dropping it.

How SEN 4? Good closure for the saga?

I followed the instructions but afterwards I only had the menus in English. Removing eboot.bin while leaving data.psarc reverts the menus but puts everything else into English. Any help would be appreciated.

I've put in too much effort into these 3 projects to drop the last one now, so you don't have to worry about that. Still, a lot of projects like these do get dropped unfortunately, so I understand why you would mention it.

How SEN 4? Good closure for the saga?

It's good. It has some issues like being too repetitive in the middle (like Sen 2) among other things, but I liked the ending, and found it satisfying. I think Sen 3 remains my favorite among the Sen games though.

I followed the instructions but afterwards I only had the menus in English. Removing eboot.bin while leaving data.psarc reverts the menus but puts everything else into English. Any help would be appreciated.

That's strange. Are you using the latest version of rePatch, 2.71 alpha (https://github.com/dots-tb/rePatch-reDux0/releases/tag/2.71)?

In other news, I've made good progress fixing bugs on the 3rd. I knocked out 23 bugs over the past week, bring the total number of reported bugs back down to zero. Testing is still ongoing so there will undoubtedly be more bugs found, but things are looking great so far.

Yes. I updated rePatch to 2.71 alpha. The only time I get the screen when starting the game up showing version 1.1 is when I delete eboot.bin. Doing this has everything but the menus in English. If I leave eboot.bin the screen showing 1.1 doesn't show up and everything but the menus is in Japanese.

I'm trying to dedicate all my free time to 3rd, but it's not super conducive to my new work schedule so I make progress in bursts. I definitely want to be done with testing by the end of the month. Our most recent builds work super great, most of the stuff I've been finding is polish related. End of 2018 is our goal still :).

You guys doing a great job. I'm hope we can get Sky 3rd Eng patch but we don't rush, so don't worry about it.

Give them a break. Working on these three projects back-to-back surely wasn't easy, they are not obligated to start a new one.

Neither Zero, nor Ao was localized by XSEED. So the team will not work on them. It is stated in FAQ on the first page

Zero Evo already have Eng patch, and Ao have Eng patch on PSP version. I played Ao PSP on my Vita through Adrenaline and it's playable, so I don't mind about Ao Evo. Working on Sky Triology is a great project after all.

Hi all, first off, HUGE thanks to thedatabase for all the hard work put into this project! I had no idea what I was missing out on!

Secondly, I do have a question in regards to the psarc and and repatch. They are HUGE files, and I only have so much space on my Vita. The question is, is it possible to remove the file in app\PCSG00489\gamedata or replace the files after the patched files are in rePatch\PCSG00489\gamedata, or are they both required to be on the card at the same time? That's a difference of 3.25GB of space on my card versus over 6.5GB.

Thanks in advance for the insight!

I install game first, and secondly I add this file later. I will replace the old file so don't worry.

You can find the link on *modsnip* It's already have a game in JP , Eng patched file( ebbot.bin) and also old OST.
All you have to do is connect the Vita with PC, install the JP game, connect again and merge this file eboot.bin . I don't use Repatch file and it costs more than 3,2Gb.

Yes, you can remove the files in the app/ once they are patched and put in rePatch folder.
