Title: How would one go about restoring battle quotes?
Post by: helltoast on March 28, 2015, 09:59:25 pm
Thread is self-explanatory, really. I know it's minor but I really miss battle quotes, the little incantations characters would yell before executing a given action.

I don''t mind doing the research myself, I'm just looking for pointers, where to start.

I wasn't aware that these were not used in WotL... Add another reason for me to dislike the game.

Non-the-less, you can edit these in FFTactext

That's not going to help; they were disabled entirely.

I'm honestly not sure how to go at it myself though.
All I know is that it is linked with the "Display effects" option.

I did make a hack for the PSX version to make them appear 100% of the time, but again, very blurry how that would help.

It'd make testing easier, I guess. Thanks for the tip by the way, it might be helpful in the future.

Japanese version still has the quotes, I'm trying to find the on/off 'switch' an flip it in the US version. Worst case scenario I could translate the whole thing although it wouldn't be practical.

The spell quotes can't even be edited in Tactext in WotL, to my knowledge. When I asked the translating team ages ago about whether they were even given the quotes to translate for WotL, they had no knowledge of them.
