Tales of Destiny Translation?

[Azu]

So, um Cless are you gonna do this? I doubt it will see a US release.

Haha, I was wondering if people were going to ask about this.  I was curious about it myself actually.  Though I have to figure that between the slow moving ToP project and the rapidly progressing ToD2 one, Cless and the others are probably busy enough as it is.  This certainly is something that I would love to see get a translation patch some day though...

He posted in the Barbatos thread that it is indeed very similar to Destiny 2 and Rebirth but that those come first.. and at least that gives a little bit of time in case Namco US surprises us for some reason (anything can happen, right?).

[throughhim413]

I see.  I didn't read that thread.  Lately I've been doing everything I can to try and avoid any spoilers for Tales of Destiny before I can finish it...

It would be so cooll to know the story in ToD

I to play TOD right now to memorize the route so I can play more freely on PS2 and I wonted to play ToD on psx for long time ago

but maby namcobandai will move there ass and release all the ToD ToR and not only ToL ....and so....it's good enough that Abyss was released

[Cless]

this is a test... i repeat... THIS IS A TEST.



How I love the built in VWF sexiness...

Wowzors... I would love you forever if you dumpped the script Cless....

And that screenshot really doesn't help my craving for Kasugai Apple Gummys.... *goes off to buy some*

[throughhim413]

I like this test... I like it a lot. This post implies nothing.

[Leroy]

You dirty tease.

[gyozilla]

Dude. Tease of the century.

Interesting that it has VWF built-in. ToD2 doesn't, does it?

This font is in game...
Very nice! ^_^

[Kiko]

Yeah, the in-game font is super awesome, this menu test is suuuuuch a tease >_>; (insert begging here)

[Cyllya]

That is a really nice font. If it weren't for the Japanese remaining in that screenshot, it'd look really nice and proffessional already.

Looks like getting the translation of everything might be the only hard part of doing a patch. Might be worth your time to dump all the text now and post it someplace, so maybe by the time you're done with the other games, someone will have translated the text for this one and all you'll have to do is plug it in.

ToD2 is fixed width but has a set of half-width characters.

The way I see it is... if Namco releases the game here, they would likely have it out faster than we would anyway. I'm gonna officially give them 6 months to make a decision. They seem to announce US Tales games within that amount of time from the Japanese releases.

Two, if Namco doesn't meet this "deadline", we'll start. If ToD2 is any indication, we'll likely rip right through it. Possibly even faster because the ToD2 tools are almost finished. Seeing as how the games are ridiculously similiar (they're all obviously based on the same engine), it should not take much effort at all to port them between projects.

Yup.

When and if this gets translated Cless, how much of the original ToD localiztion are you going to use?  Like all the town names and stuff.  I'm not expecting you to use the move names (even though they're awesome, Missile Sword ftw!).
