We really have no idea. I mean, we don't know enough about how much work we have ahead of us to even make an estimate. So...we're assuming it's going to be a while!Hey guys. I know you don't have an exact date or anything but do you have any ideas how long this whole thing might take? A couple months? a year, maybe?
Thanks.
Not necassarily, The translators could be sudden bursts of energy and get more done than an official translator could in a short time. It all depends on how much initiative everyone takes.A very long time, that's for sure. Translating, editing and quality checking takes a lot of time. Even official translations take a year or two to do and those guys are paid to do it. For a fan translation it's safe to say it'll take 3-4 times as long. That way, if it comes earlier than that I'll be pleasantly surprised and if it takes longer than that then it's to be expected.
Fair enough. Will the cheats need to be changed or should they work perfectly despite the merging of the discs?
Yeah we can't give a time table. The game is massive and to prove this I shall post this once more.

Just a rough outlook of everything that would need to be done. So it will take a while.
This game is meant to be comparable to what most would consider a mainline title(and should be considered one regardless of platform)
Please.... I don't want to play the game by cheating through it. I would like to play it as intended by the makers of the game. What's the point in playing a game if you cheat in it? I can see if you've already beat the game before, but not on the first or second playthrough. Please don't make the game easier or anything like that. Please?But do they add things to the game? Or they swap things there? Because if I make a cheat permanent, the swap would be permanent too...

A bit late, but do remember that Ted Woosley translated all of Final Fantasy VI, by himself, in less than 30 days. This includes proofing and reediting.A very long time, that's for sure. Translating, editing and quality checking takes a lot of time. Even official translations take a year or two to do and those guys are paid to do it.

EDIT - Nevermind. I see that you've chosen the right thing to do concerning this.
