A while has passed and I'd like to thank the people who made the patch(neoxephon, donelwero, noitora) since a lot of people are glad for you guys making playing this game easier.
Currently nobody's working on translating anything else, which doesn't matter since a localization announcement is inminent.
You can download the final patch below, by donelwero and neoxephon, and as a sidenote, even thoguh you can find more complete translations of pretty much everything mine willl remain here.

FINAL PATCH:
<a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mki4kwxdimz" target="_blank">http://www.mediafire.com/?mki4kwxdimz</a>

NOITORA's OLD PATCH:
THIS PATCH IS OBSOLETE!
The almighty Noitora has created it, and here it is:
<a href="http://stashbox.org/565760/XdeltaOnline.exe" target="_blank">http://stashbox.org/565760/XdeltaOnline.exe</a>
if that doesn't work Noitora also says to try this
<a href="http://romhacking.net/utils/598/" target="_blank">http://romhacking.net/utils/598/</a>
+
<a href="http://stashbox.org/565751/dq9_patch1.patch.xdelta" target="_blank">http://stashbox.org/565751/dq9_patch1.patch.xdelta</a>
after that the battle menu should look like this

Since I'm just beggining to learn japanese there are some characters that I may not know.

haha, so true, i wonder just how many people are here thinking that this is a patch, or how long will it take will it takes before the illiterate descend on this thread and started typing "gimme patchy
hate2.gif
"

by the way, so what does this examine thing do anyway? Does it allow players to so-called learn monster skills? I remember there used to be this game where u learned skills by examining enemies or something to that effect, so does it work in the same way here?

are any of you playing this on an emulator? and if you are can you please explain how you are doing it? ive tried for a few hours to get it to work with zoomer and no$gba 2.6a.

ive tried both patches and neither of them work, they both crash every single time the bald guy starts talking in the beginning.

My 1000th post.

Nice little thread you got here. Here's a little contribution from me:


Hello? Is someone there?

If you're there, show yourself.
Say something.

I can hear their voices.

How long ago did they come here to protect this world?

They were called angels.
===================================
Bald Angel: You did well, _________. I had my reservations about entrusting you to the protection of this village in my stead, but the villagers seem to be living in peace as a result of your work. I, your teacher Izayaaru(?), can not be any more pleased with what you have done. Henceforth you shall be the protector of Uoruro(?) Village, Guardian Angel _________!

Bald Angel (Izayaaru): Hm!?
===================================
Old Man: Argh, I hate getting old. It's such a pain in the arse!

Rikka: C'mon grandpa! Only a little bit further to the village!
===================================
<b>Monsters Appear</b>
===================================
Izayaaru: This is not good! They'll be attacked by the monsters! Guardian Angel _________, we must carry out our mission.
===================================
<b>Battle</b>
===================================
<b>Post-Battle</b>
Rikka: Look grandpa, there's the village.

Grandpa: Ooh, just when I was about to give up, we just made it back home.

Rikka: Grandpa, you're just exaggerating!

Grandpa: But I'm sure we made it back thanks to guardian angels.

Rikka: (Praying) Thank you for protecting us on our journey, Guardian Angel _________ (green light floats from her hands to the guardian angel, they walk off).

Izayaaru: That's a Star Aura. It's a crystal made out of the prayers of thanks from the villagers. It is also our duty to offer these Star Auras to the World Tree in the world of angels. Guardian Angel _________, for now let us return to the angel world (both fly away).
===================================
<b>Arrival at the Angel World</b>
Izayaaru: Now...Upon returning from the earth, it is tradition to report to Elder Omui-sama. He is in the Chamber of Elders. I have other work to do, so you go on ahead.

<i>Here is where you assume control of the character for the first time.</i>

~D3k[/quote]

*EDIT 1*
At this point, pressing Y calls up a screen that says "<b>The Story so Far</b>":
_________ succeeds his mentor Iyazaaru as the guardian angel of Uoruro(?) Village.

He has been charged with the duty of helping people and collecting Star Auras to offer to the World Tree.

*EDIT 2*
Pressing (and holding) B calls up a menu that allows you to perform different types of movements. The only one available (by holding B and pressing Up) is the Guts Pose, which at this point seems to serve no purpose other than being a cool little thing you can do for fun and to communicate with other players when playing together. You can assign other actions to the other D-pad directions by pressing X, going to さくせん (lower-right option in the menu), the going to しぐさ とうろく (3rd one down, means "Set Gestures").

*EDIT 3*
<b>Talking to the Elder Omui</b>
He basically introduces himself as the Elder and congratulates you on a job well done as Iyazaaru's protege.

Then he asks you if you feel up to the task of protecting the village on your own from this point on, at which you're presented with the choice to answer YES or NO.

I chose NO, and he said "Well, everyone feels that way their first time. But I'm sure you'll be able to do it. I have faith in you."

Then he says "...now. Kazuya, I shall assign you to your next task. You received a Star Aura from the villager, right? Take it to the top of the Angel World and bring it to the base of the World Tree.

Exit and climb the stairs until you find an angel blocking one flight of stairs. He won't let you pass until after you talk to the Elder.

Climb to the top and walk up to the tree. You'll be asked if you want to offer the Star Aura to the tree.

Iyazaaru: So, what do you think? Doesn't the World Tree sparkle beautifully whenever you offer it a Star Aura? Collecting Star Auras from humans and presenting them to the World Tree...<i>this</i> is our duty. Guardian Angel _________, I have great expectations of you. Go back and talk to Elder Omui.

*EDIT 4*
Elder Omui asks you how the tree is doing, and remarks on how much it sparkles. He explains (again) that their job as angels is to protect people, collect their thanks (in the form of crystallized Star Auras), feed it to the tree to nourish it, all for the purpose of letting it bear Goddess Fruit. He tells you to return to the human world by way of the star-shaped hole in the bottom room, but also says to speak to the female angel standing at the star-shaped hole of light before you leave. He says a blessing for you and then you're free to go on your way.

*EDIT 5*
At the village, you'll see 2 boys talking about the angel statue in the background. The older boy (Niido, the mayor's son) says that the name on the statue used to say Iyazaaru, but for some reason it changed to (<u>whatever name you chose for your hero</u>). The younger boy says that it's always been (<u>your name</u>), but he can't be sure. They get into a little argument about the existence of angels, and the older boy says that they don't exist and that only "that bonehead" Rikka (from the beginning of the story) believes in them. He walks off, and the younger boy talks to himself, saying "he acts all important just because he's the mayor's son". Then he says a little prayer to the new guardian angel saying to teach Niido a lesson to make him believe (but to not be too harsh about it).

In case you haven't already figured it out, no one can see you. When you "speak" to people, you're just hearing them speak to themselves, or they'll say things along the lines of "Eh? I could've sworn someone walked in just now!"

It seems that only the dog can see you. Speak to it and it will lead you to a Keepsake Ring. Pick it up, and go to the church. Talk to the woman praying there. She's praying to you that she'll find her heirloom ring. You'll be asked if you want to secretly slip it into her pocket. She'll notice her jacket "get a little heavier" and find the ring, thanking you for her "luck," at which point you'll get a Star Aura.

Head to the southwest corner of the village and enter the stable. The sleeping man talks in his sleep, saying that he needs to finish cleaning the stable. Pick up all of the sparkling horseshit and he'll wake up to find the chore all finished. He's shocked at how it could've happened, then he says a prayer of thanks and you get another Star Aura.

Note: if you try to leave town at all, your character will say "I can not leave the area I am responsible of protecting!"

At this point it becomes night. Go to the bridge in the middle of the town to talk to your mentor. He explains that another job of the angels is to rescue the wandering spirits of the dead and guide them to eternal rest. Cross the bridge and talk to a ghost in a horned helmet. He's crying because everyone's ignoring him and he doesn't realize he's dead. He's surprised that you're speaking to him when everyone else has ignored him, and then he realizes that you're an angel. At this point he says "wait...so does this mean...(I'm dead)? Answer YES and he'll thank you for telling him and you'll get a Star Aura.

Talk to Iyazaaru again and he'll ask you if you want to return to the Angel World. Ascend and bring the Star Aura to the World Tree, at which point you'll see a cutscene.
=============================
Niido and his crony find you standing in front of the angel statue. From the conversation it is understood that some time (days? weeks?) has passed since you lost your wings and became human. He's asking you why your name is the same as what's carved on the statue. Basically says that's probably not your real name and that you're some washed-up traveling bard in search for a meal, talks more shit about Rikka and angels, and looks at his crony for support, etc., the usual fuckstickery all insecure bullies engage in. Then Rikka walks up and asks the boys what they want with you, and we find out here that while he talks shit about her behind her back, Niido is actually scared of Rikka "I uh, was just talkin' to him/her...c'mon crony, let's go."

Rikka thinks to herself that Niido is an asshole, but she wonders why he became like that because he used to be so nice. She then talks to you and it is revealed that when you fell in the village river by way of the waterfall, you were injured and she nursed you back to health. That "bruise on your cheek healed nicely." We find out that she also runs the local Inn, but business has been bad lately. She goes back home and tells you to go to her house soon. If you immediately follow her to her house in the northeast corner of town, you'll find her grandfather at home. He'll remark on how unusually fast your healing is, and attribute it to your youthful vigor. Rikka is surprised you came back so quickly. She tells you to go out and say hi to everyone else in the village while she makes dinner.

Go to Niido's house in the northwest corner of the town to find his father, the mayor, scolding him for not being more mature. He says that he should be more like Rikka and be a more productive member of society (one mistake in parenting: don't compare your kids to other kids who are doing better). Talk Niido, and he begs you not to tell Rikka that his father just made an ass of him, using Rikka as a prime example of what he needs to aspire to. His father says "you're the bard who fell from the waterfall and was nursed back to health by Rikka, right? Well, don't be a lazy-ass and get a job once you're fully-healed, alright?" (I'm fine, thanks for your concern about my health)

Go back to Rikka's home and her grandfather will tell you that travelers used to come to the village, which is famous for its waterfall. But after the recent earthquake, the road connecting the outside world to this village was destroyed, so tourists have stopped coming, and this has been bad for business. The inn that his son Riberto left to his granddaughter Rikka hasn't had any customers. Rikka tells you dinner is ready and asks if you want to eat and then rest.

The next morning Rikka comes to wake you up and says that Niido has come to visit you. She says she has no idea why, but as much of an ass as he is, it's still only proper to see what he wants. Go downstairs, talk to Rikka and she says "if he says anything nasty to you, fuck 'im up!"

Niido: Stop acting so surprised that I'm here. I have to talk to you. But not here, let's go outside. Follow me!
(Outside) Niido: You know that the mountain pass has been blocked up in the landslide, right? It's an important road connecting this village to the outside world. It's been a problem for Rikka...well, for everyone in the village. So I thought that maybe we can go to the rock slide and do something about it. Then my father will think highly of me and Rikka will be really happy. But there's only one problem in my perfect plan. After the earthquake, a lot of monsters have begun to appear outside and it's become dangerous to travel. So I want you to come with me. Since you're a bard, I figured you're pretty able-bodied. Are you in? (YES/NO)

If you answer NO: Ey, ey. This is a chance to pay Rikka back for taking care of you. You don't want to miss this opportunity, right?

If you answer YES: Alright, let's do this! I'll follow right behind you. Just exit the village and follow the road east to the mountain pass. Oh. And keep this a secret from the others in the village. Alright, I'm counting on you, pal!

Niido joins you. Talking to anyone in the village will just elicit surprised responses since you're the last person Niido would ever be caught hanging around with. Rikka's glad that Niido's your friend, but she suspects an ulterior motive. You can leave the village at this point. The guy blocking the way to the exit will move after Niido acts like a prick. Niido says that if they ever get hurt, they can always come back to Rikka's place to rest. Head east.
You'll come to a train crashed in the middle of the forest, but apparently only you can see it. Niido calls you weird for staring into the knocked-over trees that the invisible train is on top of, saying that it's perfectly normal to find trees crushed like that.

Follow Niido, and a pink ball of light flies right up to the train. It seems to be a spirit, and it's surprised at your reaction upon arriving at the site. "Can can he/she actually <i>see</i> the train? No one's supposed to be able to see it!"

Follow Niido, who says that he underestimated the size of the rockslide. After all, even if it were a simple enough problem for a teenage prick to fix by himself, an entire town whose economy was hurting would've never thought to move the boulders before he came up with the idea. He laments that his plans for being the village hero and winning the love of his father have been dashed.

Meanwhile, soldiers on the other side hear him and ask who's there. Niido says, and I quote, "It is I, the great and sexy Niido!" To which the soldiers reply "A villager! We're soldiers of Sentstein(?) Castle. The King has commanded us to clear this rockslide."

Niido (to Rikka): You hear that? The king of Sentstein is doing something about it! That means that our problem is solved. We didn't even have to come out here!

Soldier: There's something we need to confirm with you. After the earthquake, did you hear of a woman named Ruiida(?) arriving at your village? She's employed at the castle town's tavern. She said she was going to Uoruro Village, and as soon as she left we haven't heard from her.

Niido: I haven't heard of her. Why would someone like her come to my village!?

Soldier: ...I see. Actually there's also talk that she was heading to Uoruro Village from the Kisagona Ruins. However, since the road leading to those ruins is also blocked, we have no way to know for sure.

Niido tells you that the road to the ruins is also riddled with monsters, and wonders why a woman would travel that road alone. Finally the soldiers tell Niido to return to the village and tell the villagers that the road will be cleared soon, and to ask around about Ruiida as well. Go back to the village.

Speak to Niido's father again. The conversation goes something like this:
Niido: Dad, I'm back! Soldiers from Sentstein are going to clear the rockslide for us!
Mayor: The villagers will be happy to hear that!
Niido: Well, looks like we did a great job, eh?
Mayor: What the hell are you talking about?! You're an idiot!
Niido: B-but if it weren't for us we wouldn't have any news about the rockslide!
Mayor: You took (<i><u>your character</u></i>) to the mountain pass and put yourselves in danger! That kind of news isn't worth risking your life for, idiot son!
Niido: Oh, well, there was another thing. The soldiers said a woman from Sentstein named Ruiida was headed here but had gone missing. They wanted us to search for her.
(Rikka appears from other room): Is that true?!
Niido: Rikka! Why are you here?!
Rikka: What do you mean, "why am I here?" Obviously, it's because you took (<i><u>your character</u></i>) out of the village and I was looking for him/her! But back to the thing about Ruiida...is she really missing??
Mayor: Rikka, you're from Sentstein too, right? Is she someone you know?
Rikka: My father knew a woman by that name in Sentstein when he lived there. Maybe she didn't know that he died and she was on her way her to visit him...?
Mayor: ...I see. We need to search for clues as to her whereabouts.
Niido: I think they also said that Ruiida was coming from the direction of Kisagona ruins...
Mayor: ...Hmmm. If that's true, then it's too dangerous to go looking for her. Rikka, take (<i><u>your character</u></i>) home. I'm going to deal some harsh discipline to my idiot son.
Niido: I-I'm no idiot, pops!

(Back at Rikka's house)
Rikka: When I heard that you'd left the village, I was shocked! But you seem just fine. You're much stronger than I thought you were. ...Um, I was wondering if I could ask a favor from you? I'm worried about where Ruiida might be. Maybe you could go to Kisagona--actually, never mind. It's too dangerous. I can't ask you to do that.
Exit town, head east again as if going to the rockslide, but instead go south as soon as you get the chance. Follow the road to the ruins, enter, and go straight ahead to the stone monument. Examine it and a spirit will appear behind you. Follow it to a warrior statue. The spirit will tell you that there's something on the back of the statue, then vanish. Search the back of the statue for a button. Push it and the stone monument will move to let you pass through.

After wandering around, you'll find a woman.

"I never thought I'd meet another person down here in these ruins! Hey, can you do me a favor? Can you move that rubble on my foot? I'm not injured too badly, but my foot's just stuck and I can't move. We have to get out of this place before <i>it</i> returns..." (lift the stone off her foot? YES/NO)

After the fight, the woman reveals herself to be Ruiida. She suddenly remembers that she has to go to Uoruro village, thanks you again, then rushes off.
Go back to the village, and to Rikka's inn. Ruiida's there admiring Riberto's (Rikka's father's) handiwork in making the inn a nice-looking place. She asks Rikka where Riberto is, and Rikka explains that he died 2 years before.

Ruiida: What?! He's gone?? Riberto's passed away?!
Rikka: ...Yes
Ruiida: The...legendary...wait, that means that my tavern...
Ruiida: Hold on, if Riberto has passed away, that means you're the only one running this inn, right?
Rikka: Y-yes. But why do you ask?
Ruiida: This is a small but nice place. You can feel the hospitality in the atmosphere.
Rikka: Thanks. This inn my father left to me was his pride and joy.
Ruiida: So you're the legendary innkeeper Riberto's daughter.
Rikka: Umm, what's this "legendary" stuff you keep talking about?
Ruiida: Have you ever thought about working at the Sentstein Inn?
Rikka: Huh...?
Rikka: Whaaaaa...!

Rikka: So when my father was at Sentstein, he was called the Legendary Innkeeper King?
Ruiida: Yes, that's right. He was <i>that</i> good! While he was still young he built his inn, out-competed his rivals and in a flash his business became huge!
Rikka: No way...I don't believe that! The father I knew was perfectly happy running this small inn with me...
Ruiida: You never knew that, eh? I wonder why the King of Inns would retreat to the boondocks?
Rikka: ...
Ruiida: Anyway, with your father gone, the inn he left behind at Sentstein is in a pinch. Business is bad. I came here to ask him to return and restore the inn to its former glory. I never thought that 2 years ago he passed away...I'm sorry, I didn't know.
Rikka: Don't worry about it...I'm sorry you came all this way only to find that out...
Ruiida: No need to apologize. I'll bring you to Sentstein Inn in his place.
Rikka: Don't I have a choice? I've been putting all of my energy into running this inn. And besides, I find it hard to believe that my father was the legendary King of Innkeepers.
Ruiida: Even if you don't believe it, it's the truth. And you've inherited your father's genius! I have a knack for seeing other people's abilities.
Rikka: I can't go. It's late. I had better prepare dinner. And...I'm not going to Sentstein! (runs out door)
Ruiida: She's quite the stubborn child. I wonder if this will become a drawn-out conflict?

When you go back to Rikka's home, you'll see the spirit from the ruins. Turns out this is Rikka's dad, Riberto. While talking to him, that pink ball of light from the beginning of the story flies into you and reveals its true form: a fairy. She introduces herself as Sunday, and she's the driver of that golden train that blew up and fell to the earth. Riberto asks how is it that you can see him. He figures out that you're an angel, but Sunday doesn't believe it because you have no halo or wings. But then again, she's confused too because you can see Riberto and Sunday when humans aren't supposed to. She says that if you're really an angel, you'll be able to free Riberto from roaming the earth. She also tells you about new features added to your menu.

Riberto says that the thing that keeps him bound to the earth is something he buried behind the inn. Go and search the bush behind the inn and find the Innkeeper King's Trophy. Present this to Rikka back at her house to prove that Ruiida's story was true. Rikka asks why her father left all that glory behind to settle in this backwoods village. Her grandfather comes in to explain:

Grandfather: Riberto told me never to say anything to you about it...but I think it's alright to tell you now. Remember how when you were little you used to get sick all the time? You got that from your mother. You would have gotten weaker with age and it would've led to your premature death. That's what happened to your mother, which is why she died so young.
Rikka: But I grew up strong. In fact, I almost forgot how weak I used to be.
Grandfather: That's because of the waterfall...you grew up drinking the water here in Uoruro. The famous water of Uoruro makes people strong and heals sickness.
Rikka: So...so father left Sentstein Inn came to this village to...
Grandfather: ...correct. Saving his daughter was more important to him than his dream.
Rikka: I...stole father's dream away from him...
Grandfather: Perhaps he knew you would think that, which is probably why he told me not to say anything. But I believe that it's time you knew about him.
Rikka: I always wondered why father looked so wistful at times...I see. So father did it to save me...
Rikka (looking towards you): Hey, ________. I've decided to go to Sentstein. I'm not sure what I can do, but I'll take Ruiida up on her offer.

Walk out of the room to see Riberto's spirit. Sunday also appears:
Sunday: Huh? You followed us, old man?
Riberto: Yeah. I heard the whole conversation. I never imagined that my daughter would pursue my dream...she's become a grown woman. I can now rest in peace...I know I don't have to watch over her anymore because she'll do great...(glows green) anyway, I guess this is goodbye. Thank you for everything, guardian angel...(vanishes)
Sunday: Well, looks like he's gone...hey, excellent job! Now I believe that you're an angel. As promised, I'll give you a ride back to the Angel World in my train. You'd better thank me. By the way. As an angel, shouldn't you be collecting Star Auras? There's one right there on the floor...
Sunday: ...wha!? You can't see it? You've lost the ability to see Star Auras!? Now I'm thinking of retracting what I said before...can I trust you? (fade to black)
<i>
A few days later...
the rockslide was cleared
and the mountain pass opened.

And the day
for Rikka to travel
to Sentstein had come.</i>
Parting words are exchanged between Ruiida, Rikka and her grandpa. Then Rikka thanks Niido for taking over the inn. Niido, always ever-so-smooth with the ladies, says "I'm only doing it because my dad keeps nagging me to work. I'm not doing it for your benefit. Anyway, I'm going to make this inn better than it's ever been, better than your inn in Sentstein!" To which the cool-headed Rikka replies, "Great! I welcome the competition."

It's time for you and Sunday to go to Sentstein (Rikka tells you to stop by her inn if you ever happen to pass through the area). But first Sunday offers to take you to the Angel World on her train. Head east from the village again and go to where you saw the train on the way to the rockslide.

Upon entering the train, Sunday mentions that the inside of the train looks rather plain and she wants to decorate the inside with gold and pink rhinestones and be "soaked in color." She starts up the train, but nothing happens. She blames it on the fact that you're not a real angel (you have no wings, no halo, and you can't see Star Auras). She comes up with the idea that if you go all over the world helping people and leaving Star Auras everywhere, maybe the other angels will notice and help you get back to the Angel World. Since there's nothing much you can do at this point, you have no other choice but to go to Sentstein. Go to where the rockslide used to be and exit from the area. Head south towards the castle.

Ok, I'm off to play some more. Keep checking back for updates to the storyline <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

QUOTE(donelwero @ Jul 9 2009, 11:41 PM) @Densetsu3000: Thanks!! That's awesome.
Thanks, I'm translating as I go along, which is why it takes such a long time. I just got home a few hours ago and found out about this early release, otherwise I would've done this earlier.

I'll probably just provide grossly-shortened and generalized outlines of each part, since line-by-line translations of every important dialogue is a huge task even for a team of translators, let alone little ol' me by myself.

If anyone has any specific requests for translations of a particular line or what to do to advance the plot, I'll try to help out. I'm not sure how many requests I'll get, but I'll try for now, but if it proves too overwhelming I'll have to stop taking requests.

For particular line translations of certain dialogs, you can make it easy on me by taking a screenshot on an emulator and showing me.

Oh, and please don't PM me. I don't have much space left in my message inbox. Post your screenshots in this thread so everyone else can see. kthx
