You guys can keep your English option. With a good dictionary, some knowledge of Japanese Final Fantasy terms, and some school vocab, it's not too hard. I am loving it so far (granted I dropped sophomore college biology because I played the original Tactics Advance too much)...

It's really an awesome game.

Yeah, obviously, if we can understand a certain language, why would we need a translation? Besides, EVERYONE goes to their Japanese class at school... I don't see why everyone begs for an English release.

Actually I did notice this and I am one that is very thankful. I have enjoyed Luminous Arc but I cannot stand playing that game with the stylus. It would be great if you could have an option to choose between the two. But, for me, if I can only have one choice, I want no stylus input.

Luminous Arc most certainly had an option for D-Pad or stylus controls. IMHO, d-pad is better for SRPGs in general. But does this game have any touch screen features? Seems like this one is just a dual screen of the GBA version...

Actually it's confirmed in Nintendo Power mag that it will eventually be released in USA

Nintendo Power also "confirmed" that star fox 2 was coming out for the SNES bcak in the day. I'm not sure how well they have gone up in reliability, but i think it would be ridiculous if they didn't come out with this game in english.

Or you can live in Japan and pay attention when people speak to you

But yeah I took college Japanese as well, so that didn't hurt, but I don't know if I'd be able to play if I didn't know school vocab and play Lion Wars in Japanese first.

two questions:
1)why in first turn of fight with that bird, each of my party members have two turns?!

2)is that old law of hitting from direct attack will have chance of 50%, sides have 75% and behind has 100% chance are gone? since ppl are attacking face to face and i'm used to do some *cough* tactics !

I'm not a real fan of the GBA and this title. They seem to be a complete bastardization of the original. I now have an excuse to buy a PSP though seeing as the original PSX title has been remade for it.

My biggest gripes with FFTA were no changing camera angles and not being able to "preview" the stats effects of different equipment (having to memorize stats screen to find differences between items was awful). I guess the camera part wasn't fixed, so someone at least say my other complaint was.

I can translate anything that anyone wants me to, my only problem is that using a G6, I get a message saying that the game can't locate my save data, and thus I can't proceed past that screen. Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this? I got the same error message with ASH as well.

what kind of G6 you have? if you have a G6 Lite (SLOT-2 device) it surely works, since i'm playing, u have to be on latest 4.9a and 4.8 too.

  • 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 ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
