Wow have you ever translated something?
If you have you would know that translations always lose some kind of meaning, so they have to go back and edit any translations that they have so they make sense.
As you can tell from the above post, the translators do have lives outside of the translation.
If you are so hard up and want to play the game go learn Japanese so you do not need the translation.

It's because I'm the one holding back the project from proceeding. Everyone else involved in the project has done their part, or is waiting for me to finish my part so they can do theirs. There's a sequence of events that has to occur in the correct order if we are to do this patch correctly. Phoenix Goddess is anxious to insert the translated text into the patch to begin beta testing but I keep telling her to hold off until I'm done editing. It's no one else's fault but mine.

Just about all of it is translated, but the story text and tutorials need to be edited. At this point I'm the only one who can do that because it requires someone with a relatively high level of Japanese proficiency and has played the game for context to check the English translations against the Japanese text in order to avoid losing anying in translation. I want the story to be as close to the original Japanese as possible, still hold all the relevant context and still sound like natural English rather than "translated Japanese." DS1, the only other person besides me who is qualified for that task, is working double-shifts at his real-life job and has been sick for a while.

And to be honest I haven't had time to do much work on it lately because one thing keeps coming up after another in real life that requires my attention. I just have the good sense not to post about every excuse I have for not updating. If there's anyone who can attest to that, it would be @[member='Toni Plutonij']. He's the only one who really knows the shit I've been going through these past few months. And let me tell you, I've gone through some shit.

We're not some rag-tag group that Googletard-translates everything and slaps it together to call it a "translation." And we all know about commitment. Like I said, everyone else involved with this project has done their job, has done it well, and the rest hinges on me to do my part. This project hasn't been abandoned. It will be finished. I feel like all of my most recent posts on this thread consist of me saying the same thing. Should I post every other day saying "we're still working on it?" Because that doesn't sound news-worthy to me.

Keep doing what you're doing. I know you're just trying to make this translation the best you can, and I enjoy that kind of commitment from people.

Also, I think this project is getting like the Tales of Innocence project, where everyone was nagging that it was taking more than 2 days to release a 100% complete patch.

a ps3 games will take less time considering that it's your JOB to do it.

A more system-appropriate phrase would have been "It's been pushing a year now. You'd think they were developing Bob's Game."

Video games tend to take AT LEAST 3 years to develop nowadays, but that's not really the point here. The gist of Densetsu's post above is "I've been busy and can't work on the translation a lot recently". But, seriously, Densetsu, Phoenix, and the others are working on this project FOR FREE, simply because they like this game SO MUCH they think we should have a shot at playing it. They don't owe you a schedule, or a release date, or constant news updates, or a DAMN THING, let alone the translation patch you're whining about them taking "too long" to complete. They have lives, too.

We're not some rag-tag group that Googletard-translates everything and slaps it together to call it a "translation." And we all know about commitment. Like I said, everyone else involved with this project has done their job, has done it well, and the rest hinges on me to do my part. This project hasn't been abandoned. It will be finished.

Good. Keep up the good work, and don't waste time posting updates when there isn't any significant news, just to cater to the vocal minority. Honestly, you're doing more than I would be if I were heading a translation project by even reading the comments here.
