Final Fantasy Hacktics

I've never had a chance to play WoTL which is probably why I want this so badly. >_> I also am semi irritated at all the grammar errors in FFT.

Patch Release Update V.20: Can be found in first post

Script:
-Up through Chapter 2 is inserted.

Text:
-Job Descriptions
-Job Names
-Item Descriptions
-Item Names
-Skillset Names
-Skillset Descriptions
-Ability Names
-Ability Descriptions
-Job Requirements
-Ability Quotes
-Help Information for some sections (Party Roster screen, in-battle, and that shows up for the menu options on the world map screen)

Hacks:
-Books Activated. Press Triangle on a book to play through it. The text is in Japanese and messed up due to the text editor, but they are there for people to try out.

Fixes:
-All bugs from the previous text only release should be fixed (except for "Critical: Recover HP/MP")

Testers:
-Make sure Chapter 2 script is completely in order
-Brief check to make sure Chapter 1 is still working correctly after text insertion.
-Testing of all Text insertion should be done. To insure that all the fixes worked and that all the new areas are working correctly.


There is lots of text that needs to be tested so we need lots of help with this. Thanks go to Dominic once again for all his great work with the text insertion. Thank you PX and FFMaster for your great testing thus far.

hmmm, perhaps I'll check this out.

I noticed that the Featherweave Clock is still screwy, as is Northswain's Strike, probably some other things, I wasn't looking to much just screwing around... also when you press the help screen over the "Act" command, its screwy, I'm uploading a picture to show you.

Very minor thing, may not be a mistake at all, but when you check out the Knights job description, it takes about wielding "knight swords" shouldnt "knight" be capitalized?? >_>

Also, on the "Stalactite" terrain description, it says Geomancy effect "Sand Storm" shouldnt that be "Sandstorm"

nitpicking lol and horribly organized thoughts FTL

The help screens also say "Time mage..." when looking at Time Magicks, instead of "Time Mage" again I'm not sure if thats a mistake or not.

Thanks cheetah. Once I have time (probably the weekend) I'll go through all the story events for Chapter 2.

Have downloaded and shall proceed with testing.

Also as I recall I did not find much in my previous tests, though I have to retrieve a text file with some errors I found.

TRC: Great start and good finds. I think help on terrain hasn't been done yet, but the other things are great to note.

FFMaster: Good to hear it.

Darthpaul: Excellent, I will look forward to it.

I wasn't really searching that hard, but thanks for the praise. >.>

I just felt like loading it up and seeing what it was like.

Well if you ever have a hankering to look into things even more TRC then any errors you find would be great to hear about.

TRC, thanks for the feedback.

- I fixed the "Act" command error. I didn't realize it until after I sent it to Cheetah.
- The knight's sword thing is correct. That part of the description is "Uses a knight's sword to unleash the Arts of War."
- I haven't done the terrain descriptions yet.
- Can you upload a screenshot of the Time Mage thing?

I have just one request to everyone testing. Can you point out whether the errors you see are in-battle or out of battle? The help text files for in-battle and in the party roster screen are in different locations. It just helps me find the problem quicker.

I've also tested some of the events in Chapter 2 (Orbonne to Zirekile Falls and the event after the battle in Zaland). The only thing out of the ordinary so far is some kanji errors. They show up in place of what should be dashes:




Otherwise, everything else looks great so far.

What tools are you using to do this?

Crap, I was afraid that kanji was going to show up again after I included the text editor stuff. Well I will check with Melonhead and it should be an easy fix. Or wait...actually I think I probably just need to implement my previous fix, oh yeah that makes sense (so sorry mistake on my part, likely easily fixed).

Testers: Don't worry about taking screen shots of that dash kanji appearing everywhere, it is a known problem.

-The-?

act without counsel of the queen?

I have a feeling some serious proofreading is going to be in the works for this

I believe "-The-" is an error due to the same reason as the reappearance of the kanji, relating to the changes to the font that the text editor makes.

What is wrong with "act without counsel of the queen"? This was one of the scenes that I had to do manually from the FMV so there might be errors. But that is why I post video of these scenes so that more people will take the time to look them over. These are the only scenes that need "proofreading".

This is why I am so excited to have lots of testers on this project to help catch these errors, but there is very little need for proofreading besides weird symbol/kanji errors because the script is literally just being copied and pasted.

the Time Mage thing isnt anything important, and its actually probably right because apparently the other mage classes follow the same capitilization in the descriptions

Sounds like the PSP script has plenty of its own grammar problems. Time Mage should be capitalised along with Black Mage and whatever else fits the bill.

"-The- Baert Trading Company?" This is not a typo... Agrias is emphasizing "The"... if the font allowed it, "The" would be bold, or a different color, or underlined. Actually, we do have the capability to make it a different color.

It's a common meme in spoken English

I just looked at the Time Mage description and it's correct. All of the other mage job classes are like that. Actually, all of the job classes with two words as a name are like that.

Job classes aren't proper nouns, as far as the PSP script is concerned.

Quote from: "melonhead""-The- Baert Trading Company?" This is not a typo... Agrias is emphasizing "The"... if the font allowed it, "The" would be bold, or a different color, or underlined. Actually, we do have the capability to make it a different color.

It's a common meme in spoken English

Yeah I know it's not a typo; it's just not proper. It'll have to do if we can't italicise though. Quotation marks would be even more inappropriate.

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