Star Ocean: Blue Sphere

[Olimpior]

     Does anyone know if this one's been worked on for an English patch.  I know it's an old game and for the GB, but I played it for a while and it was one of the best looking games for GB(they pushed the limits on old GameBoy on this one). Plus the fighting was "Tales" all the way.

The one I played(barely) was a 5% Spanish patch, so I didn't get too far, but it's better than the (J) version.

Aeon Genesis is working on it (actually they need a translator).

       The folks working on that from Aeon Genesis are still alive, and the project wasn't abandoned you mean? I'll check it out. Thanks!

Hey, it turns out there's is 19% patch in spanish! How the heck are they further along than Aeon Genesis on a Star Ocean game?!

It's fairly simple;
The spanish people has a translator.


My experience from visiting (and working) in Spain so far is that they have a rapidly growing marked of Japanese weirdness and very few speak/understand English.

The releases of various stuff such as manga and anime in Spanish are often way ahead of the English releases of the same series, even stuff I don't think ever had an official English release has Spanish releases.

So obviously there is not much of a problem finding competent Japanese to Spanish translators, and translating through an intermediate language is absolutely not recommended (and especially not translating between two secondary languages, atleast not for larger bits of dialog text and such) which is probably why AGTP possibly lacks a translator for the project at the moment.


Besides, probably 95% of those online who claim to know Japanese within English speaking communities tends to be rather limited in their knowledge and at best understand the very basics of the language, reads katakana and have absolutely no knowledge of anything else and is thus useless as a main translator for a project.

Well, I'll be.... Almost all the works I found there(Spain) were from English to Spanish and about zip from Japan. This guy Butz something or other is still working on Snes and Nes titles as well as his SOBS patch(ed rom with no items yet though i heard)among others. A lot of them are English to Spanish as well(very few (J) games). Where did you find/work these Jap.-Spa. translations(sites, or translators names to search by?)? is what I'd like to know. Thanx!

Where did you find/work these Jap.-Spa. translations

I've set foot inside several Spanish comic book stores with huge walls of manga and anime.

On the topic of Blue Sphere, I'm actually kind of curious if they are going to add Blue Sphere's adventure into Second Evolution for the PSP. I can't say if they actually would. But I can say that It would be totally awesome.
