Uh, then what about not applying any patch at all? The game is originally in Japanese (text and language) already anyways.metalrex wrote:hi, i just wondered if there is some translation text or script which allows you to play the game in japanese language ? i know there is a english patch, but i want to try to play the japanese one
Or am i missing a vital point here?

So let me get this straight. You want a text script of the English translation patch so you can read along with it while playing it in Japanese...well if that’s the case then something like that does not exist but I have no idea why you would won’t to do that in the first place?

That might be more trouble than it’s worth but hey maybe I'm wrong! You should send marc or slowbeef a pm asking about this. They would know if it is possible

Now i get it. I didn't catch the script part at first. However, even if there was a complete script, it would be nearly impossible to read it along while playing the game in Japanese. It IS a game, after all, so the continuity of events from the script would hardly follow what you'd be playing. It would make sense for movies or books, but a game, especially a rather open ended one, would hardly be able to be played while reading along the corresponding parts of a script. The only way would be to implement the translation into the game AND keep the Japanese subtitles, too, at the same time.

Allot of people read along with text scrip’s for games that have no English patch there called Translation guides. But I just realized after reading your post that there would be a big deferent’s between reading a translation guide and reading a text of dump of an English patch because translation guides have very in dept notes on what your suppose to be reading for what time and on what you click on wile a text dump would be almost impossible to understand because it’s just a bunch of text with no guide lines for what your suppose to be reading. So even if you could dump the text from the patch Metalrex it woold be incredibly difficult to understandzombie-flesheater wrote:Now i get it. I didn't catch the script part at first.
