As there won't be online functionality in the game, I would assume there can be or will be a homebrew that will allow that, no? Is this not a planned or thought of homebrew idea? I think it's a great idea.
I'm aware though, the game isn't out yet and nobody can get working on a level sharer.

I would assume this is possible in some shape or form, so why are people so worried about the online functionality not working?

if there's no form of level sharing i'm honestly not even gonna give the game a second thought, it defeats the purpose, and i'm not creative enough to create my own levels

Would you be okay with a stripped down, ugly save editor or something other that would do it in homebrew form though? I would assume, unless with actual online level sharing capability similar to CHMM2 and 3dsthem.es, it wouldn't be too nice.

One idea would be to backup the save file with JK Save Manager and share that with everyone. But it would be a bit of a hassle

I think you can play the 100 Mario challenge and recommended courses online, but the levels have been made using the Wii U version. Sharing 3ds user created levels are only available via Street pass or local wifi.

If this is the case, a VPN should be sufficient?

If the levels use the same file format from the wiiu version (technically they should) i can't really see why wouldn't it be possible to just inject the already extracted levels... Of course, levels that were not intended to be played there would be buggy or crash all together...

Well levels should be possible to share if they are saves or extdata.
If we are able to download levels from the Wii U version on the 3ds, and they are extdata or savedata, then it shouldn't be too hard to share levels. The only thing that sucks Is that the 3ds version isn't able to search online by course id.

I was thinking something more like PHBank that could extract or import individual levels on the 3DS itself rather than having to to go the trouble of extracting the save to your PC, inserting/exporting the levels, and then re-importing the save back to your 3DS like you would with a save editor such as the Monster Hunter one.

I personally don't mind no online features, I'm thankful we got it overall on 3DS, but I foresee a level importer via HB at some point.

(Unrelated, but do you think this game could be used as an exploit for something?)

    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 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
