@gumgod: It needs to be understandable and somewhat accurate. Some of those longer sentences are way off.

 

[gumgod]

fair enough

I just wish I knew Japanese. I loved this game back on the original gb.

Wow honestly dis google translations made me lmao. This is a memorable day already lol.

 

[gumgod]

that's google for you

Anyway it was just a thought. Since I don't know what it said to begin with I had no idea XD But it looks like it's some of the opening dialog. lol If you know the context and the story you might be able to figure some of it out.

That is the conversation the main character has with his Father at the beginning of the game.

Thanks for that sample, I'm kind of curious to know how you intend to make that work. Like there are several spots where it says (main character). Is there a large section of the script with terms like this that the game has to access over and over? Like I don't know much about programming, but I think you can leave (主人公名) the way it is, because it's a value that the player defines at the beginning of the game.

Also, the multiple lines of dialogue under (1) are the same, the only difference is (-san) is written in katakana (often used to denote that the character speaking is a computer/robot). The differences in (4) are due to slight differences in male/female/machine speech. Will the translator be expected to capture these differences which don't appear in English?

Finally, is your editor fluent in Japanese? I wasn't worried about there being English mistakes in the English translation, just mistakes due to translation. I guess the norm is that you have one person who knows Japanese but isn't great at English, and one person to clean up what they've written.

Yeah that's what I thought.

Anyway I'd rather you guys take your time and do a good job anyway than use google translate. I saw the posting that you need a translator still. Google could probably work for some of it though like the items. Although I doubt google will recognize "magi" and similar game words.

 

[DS1]

I think their main problem is with dialogue. Items, magic, monster names, etc. are easy, especially if you've played a J-RPG before.

 

[neoxephon]

One of the translators from my ToH project has agreed to be a part of the SaGa 2 team as well. We may still take another translator as it would speed up the process, but at least we have someone now.

 

[mrgone]

[qwsed]

Damn... i really need to learn how to speak japanese...

 

[KaelKazaki]

Man. Knowing this is remade makes me want to play Final Fantasy Legends 2 again. Awesome.

Unless you are fluent in the Japanese language or a programmer with skills on par with DarthNemesis, then sorry no.

 

[Pastry]

Definitely looking forward to this. Keep up the good work, guys! (Same goes for ToH.)

Are there any graphics that need to be edited like the title screen? I am very good at things like that.

I am a freelance web designer, so I work with images a lot. Any images that may need editing I'll just do in Photoshop. But, thanks anyways.
