v1.3 released (update 1.3.0 compatibility)

Hello Hunters/Riders,
we're proud to release our story translation for Monster Hunter Stories. We decided to release our work now in an unpolished state, due to the recently announced localisation. Make no mistake, if you want to experience the game on a professional quality level, please buy the official localisation. This release is for the impatient players and importers who would like a taste of the story in english now. I hope you will enjoy our work.

FAQ
Do i have to start NTR everytime before starting MH Stories?
Yes. You don't have to, if you use the luma or CIA method.

Will i lose my savefile when patching?
No, savedata is stored in extdata which does not get removed when un-/reinstalling a cia.
Just in case make a backup with JKSM (extdata) to be 100% safe.

Can i play online with this?
Yes you can.

Will i get banned for using this?
A ban is very unlikely.

What's luma/FBI/NTR?
If you have to ask this consider reading basic guides about 3ds homebrew and cfws.

Can i use this with HANS?
You can try to patch the romfs.bin with provided files and use that with HANS. We did not test that and won't provide support for it.

Thanks for choosing to still release your work.

Could you share the tools you used for creating this translation?

Thank you for this. I was talking about this translation a few weeks back with a friend who played the whole game in Japanese. He was saying that when the dialogue translation releases (which I was mostly waiting for), I should get to the point where I can do multiplayer with him. A few days later the localisation was announced, so I'm glad you chose to still release everything you had currently done. Thanks to everyone that worked on this.

Thank you so much for your hard work!! I was really looking forward to this game, and I can't wait to be able to experience this game. It's definitely something to keep the hype going until the official localization comes out! I just convinced a friend to get her own copy, as well, so now we'll be able to play together.

Thanks everyone who has worked hard on this!
