use "teh" instead, that's what I normally do.

lol.

EDIT:
I cannot get this to work properly on my PSP. It loads up the game but it crashes when I start it.

[LastingDawn]

Has anyone taken a close look at the Attack.out for the PSP version? Thankfully for us they used Battle.bin for the new battles and things not outside the original scope of the game, will we eventually take a closer look at those?

[melonhead]

PSP doesn't use ATTACK.OUT for text, so it probably doesn't use the rest of the file either.

Asmo: Try to correct supposed grammar mistakes is outside of the scope of this project. We are just inserting the new translation as faithfully as we can with as few edits as we can. If people think they can improve upon the WOTL translation then they can use this project as a base and do it on their own time.

Melonhead: Thanks for the tip, though I'm confused why the dashes appear correctly there and then the dash appears as a kanji on the next line. Though there are several different dashes and I suppose the one's for the "-The-" are shorter.

Ehrgeiz: That is interesting to note, thank you. Though if the patch is already not working at this point with essentially only script and text hacks then it is frightening to think about it ever working in this manner. Anyone have any thoughts?

LastingDawn: I haven't looked at the PSP attack.out. Why do you ask?

[LastingDawn]

I meant Attack.out when I said Battle.bin, Attack.out I know is changed around a lot for the PSP version, though they might not have taken any text I am pretty sure the scenarios are implemented well in it.

Here are the 2 character sets used in the game:

Differences between PSX and PSP are highlighted.

The PSP version has 2 EM DASH characters for some reason... the text that says "-The-" is using the one that also exists in the PSX version (line 232). The ones that look like Kanji are using the PSP-only one (line 2185)

[Cheetah]

Yeah so the script and text look like they are working fine, I just need to remember to make a quick edit to Battle.bin and World.bin after they are patched with the text each time.

[melonhead]

Ahhh "-The-" uses a hypen and the other one is an em-dash.

[VincentCraven]

I'll have to try testing this when I have more free time (have a job this weekend).

I love the new AI settings

New AI settings!? You guys...

[Archael]

by AI settings I mean the re-names

This is what I found.  It looks fixed in the battle menu of Holy Sword and Swordplay, but it looks like that in the Formation Screen (Party Roster).

The PSP version removed the ability quotes (Life is short... bury!  Steady Sword!).

Will this project remove/fix them?  By the way, the sound novel books should have something like the record section that tells you to press triangle to access it.

This project is not complete yet and already owns.

[Cheetah]

Hmm that error is still there...I wonder why.

The spell quotes are an interesting situation. At this point I'm thinking that they will definitely be in and that we will leave the original text as is and just change the spell names to be the updated ones. Maybe some more editing, revising, and retranslating would be in order, but I don't know who would take that on.

Thanks for the support Zorlin.

[Havermayer]

Leave the spell quotes in, but try to update their translation and fix the grammatical errors.

[Kaijyuu]

Hrm, I'd actually say leave it up to the people who use this as a base to mess with spell quotes.
It'd be an interesting addition to change them to be PSP translation-esque, but unnecessary.

[Dominic NY18]

According to my text edited files, the spell quotes should already have the updated ability names. I know I'm not going to take a crack at changing anything more than that.

Also, I've been on a bit of a hiatus for the past few days because of a damn research paper I'm writing. I should be able to get back to text editing by tonight or tomorrow.

[DarthPaul]

Made it to chapter 2 and have not encountered any errors not previously mentioned.

I'm gonna replay of course to see if I missed anything, good job Cheetah this is looking a fucking mazing.

Yea it's that awesome.

[VincentCraven]

Aww poo.

I was hoping to run this with v1.3 concurrently, but not surprisingly the text edits conflict with one another.

[DarthPaul]

Didn't Arch release a version without the text edits? To calm people down till the newest text editor came out.

[zorlin_shaped]

Number 1 - MP Switch
Yes, that's right, not Blade Grasp. MP Switch has a lot of uses. On a non-mage unit, its takes a free hit. With Move-MP Up or even worse, Angel Song, you effectively have a unit that is close to immortal.
Suggestion - If it is feasible (ie. not really hard), only let MP Switch reduce damage by the current MP. Very bad wording so I'll give an example. Say my Time Mage has 50 current MP and is about to take 70 damage. MP Switch would take 50 damage, and the Time Mage would lose 50 MP and 20 HP.

It's very old, but is not there a way to gray out MP Switch when a character is equipped with Move MP-UP and vice-versa, like with the Monk and Ninja, where Martial Arts and Two Swords get grayed-out when you are using those jobs.

That is supposed to be a question, though it doesn't look like it.

What most people would put at Number 1. This ability stops almost every physical attack. It just stops too much.
Suggestion - Not too sure, maybe just reduce the things it can stop to Swords/Katanas/Ninja Swords? It might still be too powerful though. I need to think on this.

Another one from FFMaster.  Blade Grasp should only block blade attacks. No blocking staves, rods, sticks, books, and the like.

And what I meant with the novels about pressing triangle, is the same option that the Germonique Scriptures has.

[454Casull]

If you can block a sword, you can block a staff. But have you ever seen somebody stop a blade with their hands while carrying a weapon?

Idea: blade grasp only works when barehanded

EDIT: or bearhanded
