Here is a patch made by BoxShot.

Are you asking me if it will be mixed up? I wouldn't know as I haven't played very far or noticed anything. Uh do you mean dyslexia? Oddly when you replace the files it shows World Destruction on the intro part to the title screen.

Made a patch.

I can't really say anything if anything is wrong as I haven't played very far yet. 104MB

Just watch, you'll go through all the trouble of figuring out how to undub it.....





.....and the (U) ROM will have all the voice acting stripped.

I don't mind if the english voice acting is of quality but we all know how they usually skimp out on it.
This.

English voice acting is usually mediocre.

Would you rather have mediocre voice acting that you can understand or good voice acting that's absolute Jibberish to you? Just sayin'.

But hey, any type of ROM hacking project is good, I guess.

For this kind of games I prefer the original Japanese voices, not only because the anime-like style, but because sometimes (or almost allways) the american voice acting losses the feeling of some situations.

I played the .Hack games for PS2 and I liket it have both voice acting in them, antried both and sticked with Japanese.

Jibberish. I may not understand everything being said, but I can understand the emotions they're trying to convey.

I wonder if the Japanese think their VA's are hokey and corny, and we English speakers just don't know it because we don't speak the language. I always give dubs a chance. Sadly, most are really terrible. But usually not enough to ruin the game (or television show).

EDIT: Maybe this will be like the DBZ:AotS where the (U) game has Japanese voices. Does anybody know if the (J) ingame voices were the same as the Sands of Destruction anime?

Personally, I think anybody interested in an undub should try and give the english dub a chance first. The worst thing that can happen is that you won't like the voices and you'll have to apply a JP patch. Maybe the dub'll be good? There's only one way to find out.

I've never been interested in undubbing a game except for Dragonball Origins. They changed the awesome cartoon opening from the Japanese version into a crappy intro for the US version.

They've recomposed the soundtrack for the US version. It's by the same dude who did the Japanese version (Mitsuda, who did Chrono Trigger and other games), but we don't know how it will turn out. Might be an interest in switching it out if it sucks.

I know the game isn't out yet but people will surely want to undub it since its full of voice acting, so in preparation for the release I downloaded the J rom and unpacked it, there is a folder called "stream" which contains 2000 .sad files (seems like sound files ?) and in the "data" folder there are 100 .iear files and 8 movie files in the movie folder.

Does it look like a simple file replacement will be necessary or it will require special hacking ?
Maybe you should see other undub projects first, unpack them and examine what are necessary to undub a game. Then try undubbing a game.

    So true
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
