FFT: Complete Main Info thread

[Cheetah]

FREAKING AWESOME! I'm doing a little dance right now to celebrate. I wont be able to really delve into this till after finals most likely, but everyone should expect a video update in early December showing of Heian's amazing work. We are trying to get geared up to get another release out in December, I'm really hoping the a fully playable english version of Oeilvert is going to be part of that.

just plain great heian!

Can't wait to play the visual novels.

Cheetah, did you ever have a look at the possibility of repointing the text in UNIT.BIN that is placed in that spot where a large monster could go? I was thinking that since I'm prep'ing the NPC sprites for full functionality I might as well prep the "unused" monster slot as well.
What do you think?

Also, I don't think there will be enough room for all the NPC's to become functional so which ones should have priority?

Should I also be considering rearranging the layout of UNIT.BIN? I might be able to squeeze the sprites together in such a way that re-pointing the text would be a moot point.

Edit:

Is it possible to rearrange the UNIT.BIN text like this?
It would make it possible for me to add 2 additional human sized units.
There are 2 sprite detail entries I could use for this.
There is a duplicate Demon and the last entry which was originally placed where the text was.

great work guys

Cheetah, I just thought of something -- I forgot to put the French accent marks on a lot of Pablo's words.  To simulate his goofy French accent, I had originally added in the 'accent aigu' sometimes when the French and English were otherwise identical.  If you know French, go ahead and stick those in when you insert it into the final version.

I'm going down to Okinawa tomorrow for four days (linguistic research), and then have some papers to write, so I'll be pretty busy in December.  But I'll start pecking away at Tango's tale of redemption, and soon we'll have that one to add in too!

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but isn't point3 on your main objective list not a glitch? I thought it was supposed to be like that.

[philsov]

I thought it was supposed to be like that.

Hence why the default text is "Do you want to learn the following abilities?"  The cursor is only there for you to get information on the skills.

Announcement: Insertion of Wyuvle translation complete.

Now this means that Hiean got me the matched up translation for the sound novel "Wyuvle" and that I have all of it in the correct place. This is a big step but there is one little hangup...it doesn't quite work very well yet. This is mostly just due to poor formatting and will hopefully be cleared up in time for a December release.

I was going to do a video preview with commentary showing off how messed up it is, but once I realized that it was such a simple problem I decided to just hold off and do a preview of it really working. So look forward to that either today or tomorrow.

[Pope]

Can't wait!

[TRC]

epic epic as fuck

[Vanya]

Woohoo!

[Heian]

Cheetah, I can't remember; that one part where I mismatched the translation and the original: was there any translated text missing?  If so, I can just translate it over again, so e-mail me whatever is missing.

Preview Video:

Finally have some of Heian's wonderful translation working in game to show off. You might notice a few instances of poor formatting towards the end, but in general this is how it is going to look. Any feedback and comments are welcomed. Insertion and reformatting is taking much more time than I thought so I'm not sure when I will have this out, but in the near future. Expect this preview to be rather confusing because the story is a bit hard to grasp from this little snippet. Overall this is still really exciting and is a real dream come true for me to be getting these things working in English.

[TRC]

that is amazing, holy shit you guys! @_@

[mav]

Neat stuff. Great job, everyone. While I don't quite get the story yet, overall I think it was well quite done. My only complaint are the names...like Oeilvert. I'm not quite sure how that's pronounced or what region such a name comes from, but I guess that's just me nitpicking...Keep up the great work.

[TRC]

so just outta curiosity, what else is left exactly? you guys seem to have made some amazing progress

[Xifanie]

I like how you hesitated to kill Pablo (or whatever his name was).

[Cheetah]

LOL I'm so happy you noticed that Zodiac, it is really cool how it all changes depending on your choices.

Well this is 1 of 4 books that is inserted but not working formatted. Heian has 2 other books translated and is working on inserting. That leaves one book needing translating and inserting, but Heian is committed to getting to it after the others are done. This will all take a long while considering our schedules and that is just for the books. We also have more glitches and fixes we wish to tackle.

[TRC]

ahh i see

well keep up the good work!
