Ok so this is the story : the translation has been going for about 3 years and in that three years the project has been going uphill and downhill, because some people use google translate to translate the texts.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And in late 2016, finally the translation has finished and all that's left to do is putting it together. BUT after a few months of never getting notified by the devs, the project is presumed dead, however there is a little light showing thanks to the notification from the dev.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

But this light doesn't last long, after a few more months of waiting and without any notification from the devs, our nightmare came which is that the project is cancelled by the devs, even though it's already so close and all that hardwork is almost payed off turns out it was all for nothing (for the guys who translated the stuff). So here I am, here we are asking for anyone who has some free time to help us continue this project.

for those of you who don't know who SBC is, he's the guy who translated FF-type 0

I once had a look at this game (it was one of my post-type-0 candidates xD) and came out with some ideas to translate it, nothing as far as translation tools, but some research about how to do them, in fact I even made a quick extraction and reisertion test:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/god-eater-2-english-translation-possible.360209/

I'll be watching these threads (I see there are 3 open discussions and I actually have no idea about the state of the project, only that I was mentioned in this one xD); of course, whoever was in charge of the romhacking part of this project (I think it was coldbird?), should be the most appropriate person to finish it, but it would be a pity if the translation stage is finished and it can't be enjoyed due to unfinished tools...

yeah the bad news is coldbird hasn't even came to this thread for a year I think. do the chances are pretty low for him to comeback and devnoname has already given the project. So we'd really appreciate it if you can continue this. btw great job on ff type-0 translation and of course thank you for reading and have a nice day.

Coldbird has lost all interest in this, and when I asked for the tools, @devnoname120 said he needed coldbird's permission, and that coldbirb was extremely busy at the moment. as for the state of the project I believe the translation, reviewing and possibly the bug fixing are done.

@devnoname120 could you ask coldbird to let sky take over the translation, and supply him with the tools and the translation ? also could you post a full status update here ?
@SkyBladeCloud would you be interested in finishing this if you had full acsess to the tools and the translation ?

hey everyone, sorry for not being online often yesterday, it's just that my phone doesn't get the slightest bit of signal until now. Now then ,moving on to the good news and bad news. good news is people are starting to see the posts on the places I wrote. Bad news is only a jerk and a guy who left a video and both of these guys are from gamefaqs.
So basically the progress is not that good, but we have SBC who already done a game and a very big game (2,7 gb) so needless to say he is very good and right now i'm playing the game and I must say it's incredibly well done. So SBC we'd really appreciate it, if you can help us and of course we'll be supporting you from behind. So that's it for now and have a nice day. Oh and before I forget @devnoname120 can you please ask Coldbird to give SBC the tool if he accepts to take over the project ? i'd really appreciate it.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a patched ROM
