Yes, we are translating what is needed for it to be playable. There are so many different factors that need priority in the first place that the story is unnecessary right now.

Quests are planned so there is more guidance on where the story leads you, although the story itself is most likely wont be touched.

fine by me i guess the story is not deep anyways but translation of quests in general is nice so i m looking forward to itt.
thx again <3

u already know how much more effort u will need to finish it to the point u have a final release like a time window? obviously u have other stuff to do in ur life as well but thought u might have a date u wanna have it done.
planned to do the DLC as well?

sorry for all the questions just really happy that someone is caring for Medarot (really got no love in the west despite it being an awesome series and i think the 3DS Games are all really good!)

Our project is not assciated with any other medarot 9 releases. My husband and I started this project from scratch, as we do with all of our projects. We dont usually do stories, we tackle the important aspects to make the game as playable as possible for anyone.

The only project I know that has some story, the menus are broken while being very incomplete. That project didnt have enough to offer or navigate to enjoy the game.

Please do not neglect the story, i got stuck with the last translation because i had no clue what to do, i literally talked to every NPC and i couldn't leave the school. I have all the time in the world so i can wait forever, but please give it a shot!

Thanks for doing this and sharing it! Are you taking into account the previous medabots rpg for gba and the terms used there? I noticed "Fill" is used as a stat for the medabots and I'm not sure if that corresponds to "Charge" from the aformentioned gba game.

yes, but with the given space we have to work with we cannot just use any word.
