Tales of Destiny 2 progress thread (was "Still progressing")

[Cless]

This thread is now closed and will be replaced when the project comes out of hiatus.


EDIT: This thread is now the general progress thread. It will be used to minimize website work. I'll soon be linking it from the official ToD2 page.

Original post when this thread was created:

I'm currently without a capture card so I can't make any new screens at the moment.

• Strategy menu mostly translated (the special orders are giving us trouble)
• Enchant menu mostly translated
• Slot effects done
• Lots of other small crap done

I'd also just like to say that I really really really REALLY hate this game's spell names. Engrish to the max, and we're still stumped on what a fair number of them are supposed to be called in english!!!! The game really goes off to use a lot of weird obscure words in some spell names... *shakes fist*

We could still use translation assistance from those who know their stuff to help make this go faster.

[Cless Aileron]

Even without the screens, it's very exciting to hear more progress on the game and some great progress nonetheless.

[Leroy]

Excellent! *air guitars*

If it's just the spell names I can try to help on that but I assume you're already familiar with katakana so basically I would just be adding my interpretation of them. What else do you need specifically? I can run a couple of site's enchant stuff through a few translators and clean them up; again, nothing you probably can't do but I'm willing to help if it's needed.

フランブレイブ
アクアリムス
アーステッパー
インブレイスエンド
グランヴァニッシュ

Fun for everyone!

[Cyllya]

That a transcription request? The only one I'm 100% sure of is

インブレイスエンド = Embrace End (US version of ToL used "Final Embrace")

Like 99%...

グランヴァニッシュ = Ground Vanish (it's an earth skill, and I'm pretty sure I've seen Ground spelled like that before)

Of even less sureness...

フランブレイブ = Flambrave
アーステッパー = Earthstepper

I've seen people call アクアリムス Aquarims.

[Leroy]

フランブレイブ
アクアリムス
アーステッパー
インブレイスエンド
グランヴァニッシュ

Fun for everyone!

Looks like I was beat, but I'll combine what I had with Cyllya's where I had trouble.

1. Flame Brave (reads more like Flan Brave)
2. Aqua Rims (or Reams, it has a long e sound)
3. Earth Tepper (Topper, Stepper from above, maybe)
4. Embrace End
5. Grand Vanish

[Leroy]

I grabbed these from the FAQ on GameFAQs.. not too far from what we already have though.

1. Fran Brave
2. Aqua Rims
3. Earth Tapper
4. Embrace End
5. Gran Vanish

[Cless]

I forgot one. シルフィスティア. Hate. and I sure don't think it's Sylph's Tear. And even if it was, I'd want to change it.

フランブレイブ - Currently calling it 'Flambrave'. Possible homage to Flamberge?
アクアリムス - I've chosen a slight renaming to 'Aquarius'...
アーステッパー - I think this is Earthstepper or something. Effect shows a bunch of things (gnomes?) stampeding. I've changed its name to Earth Stampede for now...
インブレイスエンド - definitely going with ToL's Final Embrace
グランヴァニッシュ - currently leaning on Ground Vanish...

[Leroy]

The FAQ has Sylphistia.. nonsense, but if you're steering from Sylph's Tear.

[Cless]

If I can't get a satisfactory name for that spell I'm just gonna call it Sylph Cyclone.

[Cyllya]

I'd guess  シルフィスティア is just supposed to be an embellishment on Sylph, e.g. Sylphsomething. I'd go with Sylphistia or Sylphistea. What's the skill look like? If it's some fairy-looking thing, especially female-looking one, I'd think that's probably it.

[Leroy]

I ran シルフィスティア through Google and saw Sylph's Tear a few times. You could also try Sylph's Tier (or not, heh). I'm fully for changing it a bit to make it sound better in English, but I'm actually curious why you're against Sylph's Tear. It doesn't have that Engirsh ring to it like Earth Stepper or Aqua Rims, at least to me.

Oddly enough, most of the ones you needed help on were the summon extensions. Were the extension names listed in the menus anywhere? Maybe in the descriptions? Or are the spell/item translations working in battle?

[Kogahazan]

Maybe he's against it because of the word Tear itself. The attack has nothing to do with crying.

[Kajitani-Eizan]

i like Sylphistia. earth taper or whatever needs to get some plastic surgery done, though...

[gyozilla]

Aquarimus doesn't sound that much like Aquarium, does it?
Plus there's a Aquarius slot name, but I guess that doesn't really interfere.

[Kikujiro]

フランブレイブ = Flambe Rave ? It matches perfectly with the katakana.

グランヴァニッシュ : Grand Vanish? Once again, it would match perfectly with the katakana.
