There's still many times where the english voices come through, now i'm just trying to get a hold of a version of the game that isn't undubbed but is uncensored and Orchestrated.

Search "DQ8 3ED v5" on NGR, DU, or that iso site for the 100% undub.
There's legal versions of the orchestra patches that you can use via layeredfs on r/3dshacks, with one of them being the orchestra only patch. The uncensored patch is somewhere here on gbatemp, however it's still a wip. The thread it's available in is called [WIP Dragon Quest VIII (8) "Restoration" Project. It's even linked in the op of this thread.

Fyi, I found out what that iso site is and it's been down for like half of this month, I think it's gone for good.

Doesn't work. DU and "that site" have been shut down since your message. No results on NGR at all. It is nigh impossible to find the 3ED v5 without someone (like you) with the source directing us.

EDIT: For those looking for anything, I managed to find V4. duckduckgo: "dragon_quest_8_3ed_eur" and you will want to choose the site (should come up easily) about frosty brothers... BUT still no v5. I didn't find V5 anywhere. I think Swosho was just bullsh*tting us. :yay:

That said, it would've been a lot easier for their audience if the hackers to just give a patch file (like ScarletStudy did for Great Ace Attorney) instead of having to hide an illegal full game file behind tons of hints and clues like a scavenger hunt where the map takes you to buried treasure that was paved over by a new office building.

@Greenshadow0 @Canzah
It was posted in an unfortunate period of time when both the iso site and DU got under shortly afterwards, and NGR has the N topics hidden for the users with less than 5 posts. It also got included in a recent compilation for these types of mods.

I've posted it again just now in another familiar and easily accessible place, I believe it should get indexed soon. As before, look for "DQ8 3ED v5". Edit: All right, it shows up on google.

Thing is, we never made a v5 of uncensor. That v5 you claim was never made and authorized by us, it's some unofficial thing... Unless it was for undub in which case sorry for confusion.

Well yeah, @davhuit was maintaining the undub bundled with orchestral music & restoration project and titled it "3ED v2-4", so there wasn't much choice as how to call an addendum to "3ED v4". No changes to the restoration project were made in any of the 3ED versions.

Oh okay, so now over here I see this is technically "newer", and the v5 that was mentioned before was made by swosho.

Notes:
※ 64 lines and 36 sfx voice clips had to be left mute, there were no Japanese equivalents for those.
※ 2 lines and a whole bunch of grunts didn't carry over from the Japanese version of the game, as there were no English equivalents for those, too.
※ Additionally, because of how Morrie addresses the Hero's party members during the Monster Arena events differently between the Japanese and western versions of the game, some compromises had to be made with those lines. Nothing major, though there won't be anything off if you'll be controlling the Hero while progressing through the Monster Arena stuff.
※ In case you want an EU cia of this mod, you'll have to rebuild the EU DQ VIII cia with directories "sound" and "model" from this cia.

I don't mind English voices, only aiming for outfits/orchestral, so gonna try to get the RomFS from that cia and pick it apart.
