Actually its not... Jap voices

They speak gibberish. There is no voice acting with a real language.

^This

I played up to about chapter 3 with this translation and 4 with the official release and the audio is the same, the odd time you hear something none gibberish I believe its the same, like in the cutscene near the start when the Rathalos egg hatches the monster name is said.

Believe the Japanese is used "Rioreusu" according to a Wiki vs the localized "Rathalos", that audio is the same in both versions.

Now I won't go and say I've compared the files between the releases to make sure they are identical but I'd bet they are and again so much is said in gibberish anyway it wouldn't matter if the odd word got during a cutscene got localized.

That's enough of that though... I think I preferred the fan translation but opted to play the localized version since it was a surprise it even happened, gotta thank Nintendo for that.

Just wanted to state the audio spoken is not a reason to prefer one version over the other, hell if there was a difference someone would have made an "Undub" anyway.

Hmm is that really so thats odd. Since there is also an japanese anime about this. But havent played the game yet so I trust you to say so I guess if you say it isnt.
Anyway, one other reason I can think of to choose the fan translation is that the JAP does seem to have DLC, while the USA/EUR has no DLC..
*(not sure what the dlc entails though)

There seems to be a problem with the 1.3 English patch. The game crashes whenever I try to go past the second floor on the Twin Towers. I've disabled game patching on the Luma config menu and played the unedited CIA and I find that I can go past that room with no problems, so it's definitely either patch or something I did wrong. Any idea how to fix this?

Oh and by the way when I say the game "crashed" I mean I got the "Arm core 0 exception occurred" crash as soon as I try to enter the third room.

I hope you guys would tackle the discontinued Monster Hunter 3rd Portable project. I think most of it has been translated, but the tutorials, NPC dialogs, etc. are left untouched. This is the best Monster Hunter World for piss-poor people like me.

You shouldn't be starting with MH P3RD only the essential parts are translated and they presume most are playing it after being desperate after beating localised western releases. That being said it was my 1st too and I did get to understand it. But I would recommend getting MHFU and playing the tutorials and exploring the area as well as doing the first few missions to get yourself acquainted with all the systems this series has to offer. Then when you hop into P3RD you will quickly recognise these systems and menus again after a bit of perusing and then you can really enjoy the game.

Why bother with a fan translation when the game was already localized and released in September 2017?
And the other question I won't even bother to answer.
The western version doesn't have the updates and likely will never see them unfortunately. And the iOS/Android version will not come either it seems.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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!
