ROM Hack FFTA2 translation projekt.

[Mieki]

I've got it all ! I know how to edit everything

I might have to make some space for long names in the rom, but right now I can translate in game almost everything. I'm going to release a patch by the day after tomorrow. (tomorrow I have a big presentation of my research work and I can't take time for this)(yes as odd as it may sound I'm a researcher AND i like to mess with nds games

)

If this would be released in a weeks time, then I think I'd found DS heaven ^^

Got the JPN weapon info from a JPN wiki, right now it's in drafty shape on my wiki site:

http://ffta2.pbwiki.com/Equipment

I'll tidy them up and add English translation tomorrow (10/25).

Thanks a lot! I'm already working on english translations for them. Let me know what you come up with or if you want to split the work somehow! Contact me when you can!

EDIT: Knives are done and I need help. What could ??????? mean for the thief abilities? ?? is "to steal" but ????? "otakarawo" translates as "It is high and others"...I have no idea what that means. There's FIVE levels of this particular ability, it's got to be something big. Let me know if anybody thinks of anything. Also, ???????? is the ultimate knife. It translates as "teiputapputou" - which I translated as "Tiptaptwo" (from FFTA) or possibly "Tick-tack-toe". It teaches the spell that translates as "viaora" for the Heiress job - I took it as meaning "viola" as in "*pulls rabbit out of hat* Viola!" If anybody else has any ideas, pitch them at me!

Swords done!

Blades done! The Ayuvir Blue blade has something for Heiress that I've never seen before, it says ????? which is "raderisu". It sounds like "Red Heiress" so that's what I put

Also there's a new blade called "Reigensaibu", that has an ability for Vaan roughly translated as "Proof of Sky Pirate" or "Sky Pirate Seal" or somesuch, I'm not sure how it should be translated. ?????? "sora zoku noakashi" (sky pirate proof). Any ideas?

That's all for today I think! I'll upload my .txt file with all the translations in order, if somebody wants to update the wiki (I'm not entirely sure how to do that without mucking something up!)

I can help you with ????????-????? or otakara is "treasure", which is used at the store. combine treasures for the store to make new weapons and stuff that you can buy. there seem to be multiple levels of treasure, from S, being the best, to A-B-C-D if remember correctly. (? is the object marking particle in japanese, ???? is also often written in kanji???)

So ????? means "Steal treasure".

Awright, that works for me! Thanks for the help!

I've been working on an assignment. It's due tomorrow. After that I'm pretty much free.

I wasn't planning on helping much unless we're actually making a patch. Since deufeufeu says he can change any text, I'd be willing to translate a bunch of the storyline.

Edit: Well... actually my assignment was due on Tuesday, but I got an extension until Thursday, but it's still too lame to hand in so I'm handing it in tomorrow.

 

[Mieki]

We should sticky this...

BTW, we're at dsfanboy

[Cyan]

This is a great new Deufeufeu

Is it hard to make rooms in the rom ?
it's using ASM, or does your program recompile rom's text source code ? (I don't think you found a way to do that)



I will still make a jobs translation on the Wiki for those who will not patch their roms or bought the game.

I think I will add links to ffta2.pbwiki's laws and items page for the moment.
I hope it's not forbidden ^^

 

[Kawamura]

Why not cross-reference some of the item translations with FAQs from FFTA? I'm sure they've recycled some weapons and abilities...

Like this one...
Astroblue's Abilities/Equipment FAQ (JIS)

EDIT: Will also try translating the Guns and Cannon Equipment.

Didnt wanna quote everything

but great work there. I'll have a look over it too (although many terms are FF specific, and I'm far from a FF specialist.)

To everyone: Wow, I'm really impressed at how fast this project has moved forward, and I'm genuinely proud. And also proud to have been a part of it from the start. Major props to test84 for getting the ball rolling too!!

edit: I "made" a channel on efnet called "#ffta2-trans" and will hang out there for anything related to this project. Im also in "#ndstemp"

 

[Cyan]

Is there an official Square-Enix site for FFTA2 ?
I found only FFTA1 and other FFs.


I want to know if there are pictures I can use for the Wiki.
Or else, I will use some pictures from Wikia. I don't like to steal other people work, but I don't know where to ask

I'll join the Chan, see you there.

 

[warbird]

http://www.ffta2.com/ - this is the official japanese site

edit: looking at that Astroblue FAQ posted earlier, it seems ?? is translated as "Duelist". I'm not sure if this is Square-Enix' official translation though. My dictionary defines the term as "someone fighting for a cause(or belief)" (?????????). I think figher, as we have it now, is a good translation, but if SE translates it as "duelist", maybe we should change it?

 

[NoSoulX]

I believe that the Duelist is a very nice translation. Better than Fighter which leads to thinking that it's a combination of sorts...

 

[Kawamura]

FFTA's US version (if I remember correctly) used 'Fighter' instead of 'Duelist'.
Remember, Astroblue also translated before the NA version was released.

***Cards***
Name Attack, Additional Effect -- Ability 1
4 of Spades ATK29, Evasion+2/Move+2 -- Placebo (Trickster)
8 of Hearts ATK30, Evasion+2/Move+2 -- Giggle (Trickster)
Q of Clubs ATK31, Evasion+2/Move+2 -- Agitate (Trickster)
J of Diamonds ATK31, Evasion+2/Move+2 -- Suspicion*(Trickster)
K of Hearts ATK32, Evasion+2/Move+2 -- Trauma (Trickster)
A of Spades ATK32, Evasion+2/Move+2 -- Plunder* (Trickster)
2 of Clubs ATK32, Evasion+2/Move+2 -- Charisma (Trickster)
6 of Diamonds ATK33, Evasion+2/Move+2 --Hint* (Trickster)
Joker ATK52, Evasion+4/Move+5 -- NONE

TRANS NOTES:

If there are symbol character sets for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds...should we use them?

Things I'm not so sure of...
*Clubs - original is ???. Last suit I tried, so I guess this should be Clubs. Can anyone check?
*Suspicion - original is ????.
*Plunder - original is ????... took a gamble and Plunder seems to fit best.
*Hint - original is ??.

????Kurabu= club=clubs, so correct.
???? = suspicion or paranoia
???? = plunder or pillage
?? = hint is good.

It would probably be good if you included the original japanese in your lists, for reference... Just a thought. Easier for others to check the work too.

edit: removed unneeded part of the quote to save space.

watching over you guys!
keep it up!

**???????? - Can anyone check this one? Gasutora something. I just renamed it Gastra Bow, from FFTA.
**?????? - lit. Elven Bow, but its FFTA equivalent is the Fey Bow. Hmm.
**???? & ???????? - FFTA Equivalents are Ranger Bow and Hunter's Bow. Can anyone doublecheck the translation?
