Tales of Innocence Fan Translation Released

[GunSaberSeraph]

Hi, PC, today I just wanted to bring attention to a DS RPG fan translation that was finished earlier today:

http://www.absolutezerotranslations.com/2010/06/29/tales-of-innocence-patch-released/#more-1046

Tales of Innocence is a DS installment of the popular "Tales of" series, and until now it was a Japanese-language only release, but thanks to the Absolute Zero team, we are now able to play this wonderful game in full english! And on top of that, Absolute Zero programmed special features that weren't originally in the game's coding:

Spoiler:

Additional Features

Several features have been added to the game that can be customized to your preferences.

Opening and Ending Song Subtitles
- Subtitles are enabled by default.
- They can be enabled and disabled by pressing the Select button.
- Romanized karaoke subtitles are displayed at the top of the screen.

translation seems more appropriate.

Artes or items written in katakana (foreign words).

I hope people will notice this great game and take the opportunity to play it.
(I couldn't really find a section that handled ROM translations of non-Pokémon games, but if a mod wants to move this thread, then please do)

And before anyone asks: YOU MUST PROVIDE YOUR OWN ROM OF THE GAME TO PATCH. ASKING FOR A LINK TO A ROM, PATCHED OR UNPATCHED IS AGAINST PC RULES

Anyways, have fun.

I was following this awhile back and forgot all about it. Thanks for the head up. :D

I've been following this since AZ announced they'd be translating it. I'm so happy they finally released it. :) I can't play it right away (too many games on my plate atm) but I'm hoping to start it up sometime in the next few weeks.

 

[GunSaberSeraph]

Its a very high-quality translation, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Sorry for the double post, but would it be okay if a moderator moved this to the emulation/rom hacking section?

I think it might get more attention there since this is a project that involved hacking.

Awesome. I've been playing this game with the English patch for a few days now, and it's been really helpful. I have the original game, but could never get into it because I can't read kanji well. But hopefully now I'll be able to get more interested in it.

One thing I'm confused about though. What is the difference between a "fallen" and an "avatar"?

Spoiler:

"Fallen" is sort of like a racial slur that normal people use when describing Avatars(reincarnations of the gods that lived in Devaloka). Ever notice how avatars in the game don't refer to each other as Fallen?

This pleases me. But anyways, I was hoping this would be released in English ever since playing ToS, and ToA (Don't have a Xbox so I can't play ToV), and ToS: DotNW, and gave up on it. But, now that this exists, I can play it :D. If my DS emulator cooperates. IT HATES ME ;-;
