We're currently working on a full Story patch for this game, which includes all cutscenes and story related dialogs, as well as all Side Quest dialogs. For now we don't plan on translating unrelated npc dialogs.

UI ONLY Patch Release (21.11.16):
We are proud to present our UI Patch for Monster Hunter Stories!! This "UI Patch" version does not contain any dialog translations. We advise anyone that cares for the full experience to wait longer for a possible localization or a new patch. The current state of the patch has 98+% of main UI and messages completed.

UI Only Patch Download (New 3ds only)

Note: o3ds users have to resort to rebuilding a cia or finding a prebuilt one.

Please look forward to our Story Patch release in the foreseeable future.

A glimpse of the story patch (which has yet to be released):

It seems you no longer have to use a prepatched cia (or patch one yourself) on an o3ds. It was posted a few replies back, but NTR has been updated to work with extended memory games on o3ds, so using the NTR plugin should work fine.
Still, if you want to patch the cia, I think there's a post somewhere on gbatemp explaining how to patch cias, but you'd have to search a bit. If you want a prepatched one, you'd have to find one yourself too. ;)

Might have to be edited if it's 300kb or over I think to properly work on o3ds. That's what everyone's doing anyways.
The NTR plugin itself is about 11kb. The data for live patching the romfs doesn't count, as it's loaded by the game on the fly due to the plugin.

So what exactly is left untranslated right now, does the current patch make it playable for someone with 0 japan skills at all?

UI Only Patch State:

Playable for sure, great experience? Not so much. Many tutorials and explanations are missing.

Story Patch State:
Unreleased, playable yes, experience pretty good.

Can not wait to see this come out as a full translation patch. Been waiting ages for it. But I know the team behind it will do a fantastic job, keep up the good work and we'll look forward to enjoying the experience soon.

it all depends on the translators, if i had to do a rough optimistic estimate i'd say 1-2 months maybe. It all depends on when we finish the story stuff, how much polishing we will do, how long proofreaders will take etc.

Excuse me but HOW in the heck am I supposed to patch the game?? I have xdelta downloaded already but when I download the UI only patch download it doesn't give me the actual patch rather a folder with just stuff..I'm super confused here. Also what happens when a game like this doesn't wish to be installed thru FBI? I've been trying to download an english patch cia version of this game that someone has made but it won't work for nothing o n o

Goodluck, you're all amazing! You got so far already in such a short time. I would've joined if I had finished playing the game before ( still at the very beginning) & had a working pc/laptop (both are broken & I switched to doing most things on my phone), currently borrowing my sister's laptop.xD I'm actually also watching the anime + the english monster names all confused me at first & I know now I that like the Japanese names more, which is why I decided to wait & see how far I get with those tiny sometimes almost unreadable furigana on the 3ds. I still have to master reading katakana, so reading Japanese can be hell eventhough I understand most of it & don't get me started on kanji. Q_Q The saddest thing is I've multiple MH games the MH4 EU N3DS XL, but I actually never finished any of them yet. Q_Q

@HinaNaru Cutie I think the patch works with the NTR CFW plugin. You're supposed to put the "mhst" folder in the root of SD & "plugin" files in the (NTR) plugin folder on the root of your SD & boot ntr cfw & the game it'll run the patch then. I think I read that somewhere in this thread.


Then again I also want a Puzzle Dragon Cross X games english translation (but I think it's a pretty big project to do) & finish that 1 too & many other games I've in my huge backlog, but that's off topic.^^

Off topic but any plans for a MHXX translation when it comes out next month?

I currently have no plans on doing a patch for MHXX out of multiple reasons. Just a few:
  • i want to keep my focus on Stories.
  • a localization might follow shortly anyway
  • using original script from mh generations is trouble (copyright)
  • i don't want to do a half assed patch
things might change, but right now i'm not in favor of doing one.

Glad you guys are sticking to stories.

One last question do you have to use the jap. cia or can you use an already english patched monster hunter
