Same sort of gameplay, but different maps and more classes.
It is either a retelling of the first game from Prince Tristan's view or a side story connected to the first game. Not sure.

>>3593881
I've undertaken learning a language before, I know how much effort it can take, especially when you're not all that into it. I'm personally not all that interested in the Japanese language other than very few things here and there.

>>3593881
>you can also play "translated" games in a superior way.
Is being pretentious a result of or a requirement for learning japanese?

>>3593901
The main effort in learning a language is actually indulging in the language.
You could at least give it a shot instead of giving up before you even started. You'll never know what catches your interest.

>>3593918
Altough more often than not that is the case, not all translations are worse than the original. Sometimes the original writer is absolute garbage and the translator is just a better writer. I know it doesn't happen often in videogames, if at all, but in literature, for example, that exists.

>>3593937
If you have to rely on a "translator" stepping out of their bounds to "improve" a book then it probably is shit in the first place

There's a certain writer from my country that is shat on by absolutely anyone with a literary sense, yet he is like, one of the best selling authors of all time. The guy writes poor literature but makes the figures, and figures are what matter. It is often admitted by the very author that his success in english speaking countries is due to his translator.

Now, imagine that most videogame writers are shit and people translating it could have a few degrees under their belt, have read and written a lot and really know what they are doing.

It sounds like he did the text manually int a hex editor for these few lines. When you're looking at a game of this magnitude (like most JRPGs), you want to come up with a manual insertion tool instead. Most hackers who provide text for translators come up with scripts to dump text, but depending on the iso itself, this step in the process can go straight to hell right quick.

Depending on the game and how the text is inserted, this process can take much longer, and that's the fastest part of the process. If it's tricky just getting hte text out, typically developing something to reinsert it only gets that much harder on the other end before any ASM, VWF, font, space, checksum modifications might have to be made. As far as checksums go, you might have multiple checksums that might trigger depending on the modification of the text or even another checksum existant in the rom/iso.

From the sound of it, TMZero is probably vulnerable to a lot of bullshit that would be impossible to detect where what bug triggers where. If you just click and automatically throw in 10k strings of text, something will get fucky faster than you think.

I actually have a story translation of OP's game, but I emailed the guy who got me the story text as it doesn't have the rest of the game's text at all. No response, but I may message him again. I've just been working on five other things it's been no priority desu.

As far as I know, that's the only active Goemon translation project going on, and it's still in the hacking phase (which is where SFC Goemon projects usually fail)

We could get a /vr/ translation team going on, couldn't we?
I mean, I can translate some basic/intermediate japanese, make any meticulous editing on images and video to replace text but I can't program.
I'm sure I'm not the only one, right? If we were to assemble a team, more than a few people would be interested.

Unless you've been studying daily for a year or two, you're massively overestimating your ability. Understanding UWAH ABUNAI does not mean you have basic knowledge of Japanese, it means you have ears.

But sure. Let's just assume that nobody can speak Japanese simply because if you can't, why would they, right?

>>3613939
I'd be down to participate in a /vr/ translation group. I'm not the best but I've been doing it for about 3 years now and could always use someone to chat about a string with or to double check my work. If people are open to it it would be fun to zero in on a game.

It's probably better to look for people outside of /vr/ in all honesty. Take your skills, find a game and look for others interested in said game to work on it, or find people looking for a translator (or hacker, whichever you are) and then offer your help. I've got a romhack coming out in a couple of weeks most likely from doing that.

I know that's like the only reason why I even know about the series. He even put an artbook out for it.

>>3609614
You could always just play the PS2 remake

>>3614458
Seconded. I loved his work with Mystik Ark(especially 2, which was my first). I wish a bigger focus was put to traditional art in game design now, especially with unique work of his calibur.

Here of all places? This is one of the few boards I'd expect some Slayers fans. Boards full of old farts like here or /m/ are likely places.

>>3613939
Does subbing anything mean you can actually translate?
You provided no credentials or examples. A lot of people here speak Japanese, that alone is no big deal. Translating however is a completely different matter.

I wasn't applying to a goddamn job, I was just throwing in an idea. I know there are people here who speak far better japanese than I do, which is why I focused on saying basic/intermediate. I can and have translated things, but I struggle at difficult kanji. Can do it, just takes somewhat longer.

I was just giving an idea man, but nevermind it. Like the other anon said, it would probably be a better idea to do it somewhere else.

>>3614871
As a general rule you don't really want to start projects on any board on 4chan. It's not the anonymity that makes people here assholes, they simply are so.

Daily reminder Sakura Taisen translations exist BUT the game isn't playable in English on ANY platform because nobody has actually patched it.

All the Medarot games really, the only game that was localized was a remake of Medarot 2, and that was likely made primarily for the American market.

>>3614961
Romhacking is the hardest part in fan translation, so nothing new.

>>3616998
>Japanese is easy
Where's your JLPT N1 certificate?

>>3614961
The russians managed to do it, eventually someone over here will too.

I saw two guys on the case a few months ago, first game I think.

>>3617234
The only people who take the JLPT are retards who like wasting money.

>Games not being localized
When will this retarded outdated practice end?

>>3617243
scratch that, it's from 2 years ago,

fuck

>>3617246
When money is infinite and source code is public

>>3617245
I guess it depends on what are your plans with Japanese? If it's just reading drawn porn and acting smug on /vr/, then you probably don't need it.

>>3617245
it's the le source is nodev guy from /agdg/ i just realised. don't retort, hide and report.

>>3617278
There's a difference between being able to play a game and being able to translate it.

>>3617289
I agree. A big one.

>>3617281
>le source is nodev guy from /agdg/
I don't understand a single word you just said

>>3597539
This 100%. Lotmn is my favorite game of all time and I have only half assed the orher games because I cant read Japanese.

>>3614469
People always say that, but not only i don't have a PS2 i think it looks ugly as fuck, i just love the SNES sprites and stuff

>>3596868
I dunno. If you'd quoted some of it (seeing as you apparently knew it was about to be deleted) then perhaps we could help answer your question.

>>3618258
googles cant translate shit.

What are some games with simple Japanese a learning retard like me could play?

>>3618798
The ones with hiragana/katakana only.
Look for games aimed for kids, they tend to be light in terms of difficult words or story.

>>3618802
>The ones with hiragana/katakana only.
That's completely wrong. Those are a pain the ass to read. You'd rather want stuff with simple Kanji that add structure and reduce ambiguities.

>>3618798
Koei's Emit trilogy. They're supposed to help Japanese learn English but it also works the other way around. You can swap between English and Japanese for both audio and subtitles and get quizzes between chapters so you can see whether you understood everything.
After that some SFC, PCE-CD or PS1 RPGs. Dragon Quest is a good start.

>>3618798
Pokemon is oddly.helpful because you might be familiar with the English equivalents of some names/statements already. Good for beating verbs into your head. Any anime adaptation game should be fine too so long as youre willing to write shit down. Go play some Shaman King or Dr. Slump on PSX.

>>3618829
>Koei's Emit trilogy.
This looks like just the thing I was looking for. Do you know if they emulate well?
>>3618802
>>3618846
I'll take those into consideration as well. Thanks fellas.

>>3618859
>Do you know if they emulate well?
I emulated the 3DO version fine. I don't expect others should prove a problem.
Except for the SFC since that needed a peculiar piece of hardware to connect with a CD player for the voices.

>decide to check back to see if people are still bitching about learning japanese
>of course they are
You'll keep this shit up until the thread dies, won't you?

>>3619521
Weebs by definition don't know shit about Japan in terms of language or culture.

>>3619535
I follow these threads because I'm a translator in the hopes that something someone suggests will catch my fancy or a game I'm translating already is mentioned.

They've kept it up for way beyond this thread, and they'll continue to do so into the forseeable future.

>>3618258
AI of that level could make brand new games on-demand custom tailored to your interests.

>>3619535
It's the only constructive thing that comes from these threads.

The first E.V.O. game on the PC-98. Released a trailer earlier this week.

>>3620464
YOOO I JUST DISCOVERED THIS GAME A FEW WEEKS AGO, THAT FUCKING COINCIDENCE

Awesome job anon, looking forward to it.

I wish Gideon just released materials regarding SRW Alpha translation to public, because, apparently, he has no intention for ever finishing this project.

>>3620464
Looks great so far. Good job man, keep up the good work.

>>3620546
I don't understand why some fan translators aren't more transparent about what they're doing.

>>3606531
Hyper Iria was translated a while ago.

I played Medarot 1-5. Really quite an amazing series. Best played on an emulator because some of the battles or grind benefit from having a fast forward button but otherwise fantastic series.

5 is an ocean of wasted potential. I heard the team ran out of money and had to finish the game at some point and it honestly feels like that. Game ends so suddenly that I was left with an open mouth.

Also, top tier waifus.

as a baka gajin these threads straight up hurt to go through desu. someday...

also they ain't /vr/ but if Endnesia and Chulip get fan-translated I'm going to cry tears of joy (I know the latter was released west but it was a shitshow)

>>3622308
Holy shit, is this real? Can we just hook up our text extractors to Google Translate now and get a ready-made translation?

>>3622627

No you retard.

I remember ads of this in Newtype Magazine, back in the day. I was in college, and stuff like this made Japan seem like some ethereal wonderland of art and imagination. I am surprised that none of the media ever got translated.

I wonder what this guy is doing, these days? there seems to be zero market for painterly illustrators. its all Photoshop moeshit.

This game.

Also the PSX versions of DQM1&2. The last update was just the translator saying "ha ha it may have been a year but I haven't quit trust me it's 90% complete!" but this update was over a year ago now, and he said it was 90% complete fucking 4 years ago.
