Finally after all this time the translation for Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest 3: Daikaizoku to Shippo Dan is released...mostly!
Good news and some not-so-good news - good news is that the patch released right now is mostly done with the game.
All images, NPC text, and menus are translated and should be very playable.
Bad news is that this isn't the final version and there's still more to be released - some in-game text may appear to go off of the screen or some items or quests might have some random not English words in them.
However! Updates should not take nearly as long as it took for the this initial patch! The game is fully playable and is very enjoyable to play as-is.
Rocket Slime 3DS follows the adventures of Rocket and his friends while he tries to retrieve the Rainbow Orbs stolen by Don Clawleone. The Rainbow Orbs cause havoc among the world due to their ability to give sentience to landmarks.
Rocket fights against the odds with each passing day the Platywag’s fleet growing ever more expansive and deadly. All hope is not lost, although, as Rocket has a secret up his sleeve: his gigantic warship.
The main draw of Rocket Slime 3DS is the ship battles, where two ships duke it out for naval supremacy using various objects crafted, traded, and collected while on land. Swords and catnip are excellent for shooting out of cannons.
Try moving with Elasto Blasts, it's a pretty sizable speed increase - especially when it counts in ship battles.
Don't rotate the items on your head while walking or standing still, there is a large window of being unable to move if you do so. Instead, jump - and while midair - change the order of items on your head. This will retain momentum and switch the order.
If something is at a far range, hold an item and release it while performing an elasto blast.
Spikes are overpowered. Hold an enemy and stand in front of a spike to make an inescapable death trap by repeatedly catching and throwing either enemies or players.
Using the midair hover can dodge most attacks.
Chimera wings will defeat any enemy in a single shot.
Collect items constantly in levels to upgrade your ship's hull and ammunition. Explosive ammo is especially powerful.
Disabling luma’s in-game patching setting may help with desyncs.
The game often freezes for unknown reasons while starting multiplayer rooms, just keep trying.
Some trade good items are too long and obscure the next line
There is a length limitation on rank names, leading to some being cut off
Some items on the stat/inventory screen may overflow
Jungle Area, Funadel Wastes, Peninsula Point, and Easter Isle label on bottom screen are cut off (let us know if you find any more of these)
Some NPCs have split personalities: still is mainly due to the dialogue not necessarily being in sequential order on our end, it can also be difficult to tell which NPC it belongs to (there are a lot of duplicate names)
The additional loading times of the layeredFS patch may cause desyncs with a vanilla game
Oh hey Veho, izvini, I forgot to check back yesterday, but good to hear you're doing well! I'd say the same goes for me, doing fine, could always be better but I don't really have anything major to complain about.
