Go Cless!!!

Do it, do it, do it, do it!!!!!

We're countin' on ya!

[Cless]

The third skit script draft is done.

Tomorrow I proofread the work I did over the past week and send it to Sirius for more touching up. Then I'll review her earlier submissions, and probably implement most of them.

Not 100% sure what I'm doing after that. Maybe item descriptions, but I think I want to have those retranslated first...

[Cless]

Okay, yeah. Hino Rei's going to retranslate the menu descriptions. That will help a lot in editing them. I've already sent him the item descriptions. I'll get the others to him tomorrow.

[Cless]

Hino Rei has finished retranslating the item descriptions, and will probably finish the other ones tomorrow or the day after. I'll probably start editing this stuff tomorrow.

[Dhaos]

Cless  your team and you are giving me a nice birthday present??? could it be done before 2011?? after so many years... that even I've lost the count of them... could it be?? Thanks for everything anyway ^^

[Cless]

Depends on what Habilain and nusakan can do. I'm hesitant to let this out before all the text has had at least one final proofread. nusakan's crazy busy until December, at least. And even then, he'll only have a few weeks.

Anyways, just received the retranslation of the recipe descriptions from Hino Rei, and I'm slowly but surely processing, editing, and integrating his retranslation of the item descriptions.

Whenever you get it out, I can't wait to give it a playthrough.  Great to see so much activity from all you guys again, and as a long-time follower of the project, best of luck in the home stretch Cless et. al.

[Demon000]

Hey Cless! Just here to wish you and the team good luck finishing up this long project
Wow! It's been a long time since I last logged in, I became kind of a lurker

[Zero Dozer]

Go on, man, you can do it!

Edit: Yeah, I'm cheering you to the end. I got my reasons. Well, first of all, I'm gonna play this on my PSOne. Second, according to what I've seen, Tales of Destiny 2 is on hiatus until you get done with ToP here. I am dying to get my hands on an english version of ToD2 and you're my only hope...
Well, let's just focus on Phantasia here. After all, I'm also rooting to play it on my PSOne.

Just finished my suggestions on the skits.  They're fun to do, but sometimes it can be a little irritating that I don't have an easy way to listen to any given skit to figure out what the tone is supposed to be.  A few questions towards Cless cleared up the few I was having doubts about. 

I'm was also hoping to get the chance to make Mint come off better than in the main script, but there wasn't much opportunity.  I think some of the difficulty everyone has had with her comes from the fact that she doesn't actually have many lines.  Shockingly few in the main script actually.  I suppose the fact that she doesn't talk much could count as a character trait in and of itself, but it does limit the opportunities to inject some individuality into her speech.  She does have a greater proportion of lines in the skit script, but a lot of what she says is completely banal.     The voice acting probably makes some of the lines come off better, but I'm always afraid I'm making her sound like a robot.

[Cless]

Item description editing is still progressing.  Key items, consumables, weapons, and body armor are done. It's...actually really nice having two translations to work from for the final edit. The best ideas from both can be combined (if one of them isn't off).

Chances are, what I'm doing isn't as good as what gogs was putting together before he disappeared, but it's perfectly functional and far, far better than what was there.

Anyways, it could be quiet until I'm finished with these.

[Cless]

I've completed the first pass at item descriptions. Going to look over a couple sections one more time then send them out for a proofread.

[Zero Dozer]

Can you state the completion in percentage, Cless? The total completion.

[Cless]

There are far too many variables to make such a thing even remotely accurate. Although assuming there'd be no changes to current plans, it'd surely be rather...high on a traditional scale.

[Cless]

Update from Habilain: A lot of hacking done was done while he was offline over the past five weeks. But misfortune struck him (hard disk crash) just a couple days before he got back online, so all the work he did in that period is gone. He offers the consolation that he mostly remembers what he did and should be able to redo most of it sometime in the next week.

[dr-nix]

Cless: this project seems a bit cursed in that department. Harddrives crash, translators disappear  and so on.
