a friend is bilingual and a baroque superfan and confirmed it, the script is the same. in fact, the game is nearly identical structurally, down to the individual placement of npcs. it’s a remarkably faithful remake in those regards, but the original’s visuals, soundtrack, rhythm and atmosphere are extremely particular and special and it deserves to be broadly playable in eng in its original form, because it’s a masterpiece.

G.O.D. has been on my list but I’m still a little burned from not bailing on Metal Max early enough; like creep noted, it’s from that era when ‘cheap JRPG’ meant ‘grindy JRPG’.
I bought the PS3 My Summer Vacation but the text auto-advances and there’s just no way

The Saturn version of chaos seed, & not translated by D-D this time.

oh good call, all the games ‘translated’ by D-D should be counted as untranslated just so that we can pine after a version without wildbill’s obvious bigotry

so much of the work is in the hacking though… revisited translation for badly treated scripts should definitely be pursued, at least where patch source/tools exist
speaking of bigots, “mrrichard999” has recently been quite prolific with obscure stuff i’ve long wanted, and while i was willing to look past a lot of roughshod hacking problems his releases often have i get worried that him being an insufferable maga chud has inevitably infected the work

I was interested in the GBA Torneko games just because they were non-Pokemon shiren games on the GBA and was kind of hoping they fell into that category of JP games with “kids mode” kana only options so I could try to read them, but was quickly proven wrong by youtubing.
there’s actually been a whilwind of interest recirculating as the community has gathered around the hype created by the Shiren 2 N64 pre-release patch. the tools used for that PMD translation are useful for more recent Shiren titles, and they’ve announced they’re releasing their tools in a week or so

Metroid Fusion with Sequence Breaking
Adds single-wall jumping and infinite bomb jumping, and makes it so the game doesn’t spitefully barf when you do stuff early. Features zero level design changes.
So far, I’ve been able to get the Power Bombs, Plasma Beam, Space Jump, and Wide Beam early. Granted, a couple of those entailed some really rough early boss fights, but I did 'em anyway.
I just got the Ice Missiles when intended, and when I returned to the nav room Adam said “You’ve restored Plasma Beam functionality? …most unexpected.”
And then he told me to go head to the ARC nav room (which I was already in) because of Nightmare.
Game owns.
