I have already bothered Phoenix too much with asking for help with text...
You could tell them about how to unlock the Sound Novels, because I don't think they translated them. They've already released the "final" version of their Italian translation so maybe they have moved on to other things.

Very good suggestion Melonhead, I will do that. They seem pretty burned out on the project, but maybe they will bite.

Unfortunately, no new updates since the day before yesterday. I had to write a paper yesterday. I should be back to work tonight.

I'm currently working on inserting the script for chapter 2. I think it is a rather script heavy chapter though, plus scenes that weren't translated. I'm currently piecing together the scene where Ramza official meets up with Delita again. The event script is translated one way, and then the movie has a slightly different translation... So it will just take some testing to make sure it all looks good in the dialog boxes. Progress is being made though!

Great work you guys, but I have a question for you. Are you planing on reputting back the Generic Soldier Quotes in this patch? There is a FAQ about it on gamefaqs, here is the link.

Well, good luck with your project.

I think that can be done. I haven't tried it yet, but it should work.

So, yeah.

Wow great tip Fenrir. I never knew these existed. Is each quote like unique to the given random NPC name? What happens if you name the unit yourself? Activating this would be the hard part, especially since I never knew it existed. Hmm well it is certainly a good goal.

I believe that they have a preset quote to the random generic soldier. When you buy a soldier, they are already prename. Renaming your generic soldier to your liking wouldn't change their associated quote. About reputting the quotes back, in the US version... all generic soldier's quotes are "..." when you press select on their names.

It's so dumb. The text files in the PSX version are filled with "...." for every unit quote. Just copy paste the ones from the PSP version.

Wait, there are scenes from the Japanese version that were not translated?

Also, a question.  There's a scene in the Brave Story that never occurs during the game.  It shows Mustadio's father being kidnapped.  Was it intentional to not include it in the game but only in the brave story?

Ah so the quotes are already active they just didn't put in the text. Well that was stupid of them and very easy for us to include in FFT: Complete.

I meant for the event script Havermayer. As in the scenes that have videos instead of events in the PSP version are generally only partially translated in the script. But the dialog from the videos is generally sync up exactly with the script. So far I haven't had to translate a single line for the script, it was all translated somewhere.

I thought that scene was in the normal plot... Can anyone confirm this?

Cheetah/Dominic/whoever else is working on FFTComplete: Do you guys know how to use Subversion or any other revision control system?
It might be nice to have a place where all the files for this patch are kept.
For instance, the ffttext file, the fftpatch file (if there is one), whatever other patches you are using (in FFTorgASM format maybe) (I know there's one for the em-dash character in the font, and Cheetah requested one for a "r with a small space after it").

If it's all stored on a server on the internet somewhere, it's guaranteed to be backed up regularly and none of our hard work will be lost.
Contributors would be able to modify the files and anyone else who is interested could download them just to look.

Edit: I guess other projects on this site could benefit as well. Zodiac should set up a svn server on ffhacktics.com

This is a pretty sweet idea melonhead. I currently don't know how to do this, other than saving lots of copies of mine and Dominic's work. It would definitely speed things up though in the text insertion department at the very least. Like you said other projects could definitely benefit from it as well.

Quote from: "Cheetah"I thought that scene was in the normal plot... Can anyone confirm this?

No, I played through the game countless times and I only found it by accident on a recent play through.  

After you save Mustadio (the first time), you can go into the brave story and view Mustadio's dead getting kidnapped.  It's been a while, so I don't remember which scene number it is.

Zodiac and I seem to agree it's because they didn't want to reveal why Mustadio was a rather shady seeming character or of what value the stone he had was. Though yes, it is revealed shortly, they present Mustadio in a rather mysterious light, when you first reach him. They had completed the scene though, so why not include it? It's shown as an extra scene  basically, for anybody lightly hacking the game but want to add just one event, I suggest to use that one, since it has no bearing At all on normal gameplay.

Wow, I never knew this. I will totally have to look into it. This project sure is bring out a lot of little known knowledge about the game.

I uploaded the scene in question.  It's pretty short.

Sorry for the poor audio quality, and clickiness of my keyboard.

Yeah, I had happened to watch that scene recently in the PSP version not long ago. Very odd that it isn't just part of the actual game.

Do people think it should be included in the actual game, like placing in between the other events, or just left as is?

I think it definitely should. I always forget it even exists when playing normally.

Where would you put it though? I can't think of a place apt for a flashback, and it wouldn't really fit anywhere before finding mustadio either.
