I'M NOT SAYING THE PROJECT WAS CANCELLED. I'm not on the team, there's no way for me to know!

From what I remember there are lots of technical issues that need to be worked out, Tradukosoft has seemed to pull back from working on this as there are already very wonderful people working on it in this very thread! I apologize for the way I misworded it, it wasn't my intention to say this project has been cancelled entirely.

I just think that word from anyone working on this would be nice. The last time cj_iwakura posted here was months ago.

Which is very suspicious, no to give any information for months.
I just do not have any hopes left so i am going to play the PSX version :(

Take what you will from the situation, I really didn't mean to cause distrust or a loss of hope in anyone over this. I'm still hoping and am excited for any news surrounding this fan translation no matter how long it takes!

FWIW cj_iwakura has gone months without posting before it seems anyways.

Last blog update was October 2015. Their p2ep.traduko link is dead. And on their homepage it says,

As of the present time, we are currently working on three projects, as well as an as-of-yet unannounced fourth project. Here they are below:

  1. Puella Magi Madoka Magica Portable (Releasing January 9, 2018)
  2. Persona 5 – Fan Guide (Released September 6, 2016, consistent updates planned)
  3. Conception (In Production)

"Unannounced fourth project" couldn't be P2EP, as it's already known.

Like Iwakura told, I am really busy with personal things. But I am constantly coming back to P2, alas too few time to work enough on it. There are plans to make some new demo video, to show more progress, but it is just in plans. P2 is not abandoned, that's for sure.

I'm really thankful for that. I hope things are going well personally, I appreciate the update and am looking forward to what happens in the future!

(Whenever it happens, take your time!)

Thank you, Scorp. I really appreciate that you come here and explain the progress like this rather than abandoning us in confusion :)

Anyway, Is anyone capable of Region changing a Eu save of Innocent sin to Japanese?

I do not have a CFW PSP so can not do it.

Would like to us Eternal Punishments feature of carrying over stuff. ( Just ordered it from Japan + both Guide books, Google Translate with camera will help^^)

Not clear, where you completed P2IS. On non-CFW PSP? You can put your save files here, I can check later.

I completed it on my PSP ( EU version ), My PSP has no CFW.

Would apprecciate it if you could change the region of my save.

The save is:
Tatsuya lvl 99/ stats 99
Guitar Contact done
Karma Ring Aquired
Maya as Lovers Contact
All but 2 Fusion skills ( returned odin and some other persona and could not use them)
999 free Tarot Cards

Here what is beeing carried over:
- Level and States from Tatsuya ( if above lvl 55 )
-Name of Tatsuya ( if you changed it )
-Karma Ring from Alice
-Free Tarot Cards
-A new Contact Ulala+Katsuya+Tatsuya Flamenco special ( if Tatsuya can play Guitar in Innocent Sinwhich was optional )
-Almost all Fusion Magics
- Some Event changes which reflect the choices you made in Innocent Sin

Well...

just completed the Japanese version with Cheats.
This save File is pretty much identical to my old:

-Tatsuya LVL 99/ 99 all stats
-Karma Ring
-999 free Tarot Cards
-All Fusion spells
-Tatsuya can Play Guitar ( Ulala+Katsuya+Tatsuya Contact possible )
-Maya as "Lovers?" Contact

Here the Link to the Save if anyone wants to play the Japanese version ( Or when the Translation Patch is done )

So, if my understanding is correct, current status of translation project is “translation completed and awaiting to be implemented
Excerpt from one of the commenter fro. iwakura sites.

As far as I know, they using the translation from PSX game with few modifications. If it's it's still still awaiting for implemented, it means there's still no progress at all... Can someone clear my understanding, please?

    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 patched ROM
