I was hoping to make it to the shareholders meeting before the old thread got bumped off but it looks like we'll miss it by a couple of weeks. >Latest News -Falcom's 2024 title is all but confirmed to be Kuro No Kiseki 3. We don't have a title or any details yet, though, and likely won't until the shareholder's meeting in December. -Ys X released on Playstation systems and Switch. As of now, no PC announcement has been made. CLE likely will make one going by their track record, but who's to say when. Durante and his team will eventually make one too, as the norm is now for them to release the Japanese PC version and patch in the localization later. Either way, we likely won't see fan translation efforts until a PC version materializes. Thankfully, the Switch version will at least mean easy access to the Japanese script, which was a major problem when trying to translate Kuro 2. Speaking of... -Kuro no Kiseki 2 has had it's main and sub scenarios translated. That is to say, main quest, side quests, events noted on the map and connect events. Most NPCs are still machine translated. This is following Kuro no Kiseki 1 which was completely translated down to the last NPC. This was all done before NISA even officially announced their Kuro localization. As long as they remain three years behind, this should stay the norm. >Fan-translations Kuro no Kiseki 1 Translation: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nN-39bcBkES4Wg-3-rGlRqTARuQhGybB?usp=sharing Kuro no Kiseki 2 Translation: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/120XMXZinIOWUvzyFZj4bZRYBSoZGMChO?usp=drive_link Hajimari no Kiseki Translation (NPCs incomplete.

>>1038091 I mean technically there are already mtl subs for several playthroughs. For live MTL they were surprisingly good. It obviously fucks up with things like names and pronouns as per usual, but if you know the context you can still understand like 95% of everything happening. As for the game itself you'll have to wait for CLE to release it's PC version. Hopefully they won't take too long and it won't be as big a fuckup as Ys X. Kuro and Kuro 2 ports were fine so hopefully since this is Trails again it won't be bad. Because of how far MTL has gotten people could probably turn around a serviceable translation pretty quickly. Nisa might be aiming to speed up though (big rumor is they're gonna try and get Kai in next fall bringing the turnaround on Trails to one year) so they'd have to get on it fast.

Celceta is getting a Switch port during 2025, so the Nintendo console is only missing the Ys I & II remakes, Ark of Napishtim and Seven amongst Ys titles from the Playstation handheld era. Ys vs. Sora no Kiseki: Alternative Saga (the old PSP crossover game) is also getting a re-release on all current platforms (Playstation, Switch and PC)

CLE Kai PC port out next week. From what I hear the JP script got lifted from a leak a while back. This is good news. One of the biggest hurdles for the Kuro 2 translation was not having a copy of the JP script available (since Japanese MTL is infinitely better than Chinese and Korean) so all being well a translation should happen reasonably quickly.

Since someone bumped, the patch for Kai is coming along nicely. However apparently there's a snag with Van act 3 and progress has been stalled for a few days. I didn't want to post a link to the patch until you could at least play through the whole main story with edited content. Editing the script fixes bugs that crop up too.

>>1074185 > Do you know if there's a handy progress tracking visual as was for the previous project? It's definitely not as fancy this time. The mega just has an anon copy paste each update into a txt file so you just kinda have to go through everything and make a bit of an estimation. From what I'm aware of: >Prologue is done >Act 1 (which is entirely Van) has main story, connect events and sidequests done >Act 2 has all main quest, side quest and connect events done for Van, Rean and Kevin. >Act 3 has main quest, connect events and sidequests done for Rean and Kevin, however the Anchorville files are what are causing the issue right now so Van Act 3 is still just MTL except for a few specific areas. >Finale is still fully MTL and this leads to some music and other things not firing when they should >Grim Garten is fully translated >Most of the menus are edited and fine >All character and boss introductions are still in Korean as is every tutorial that is a PNG because no one's gone in and edited those >Newspapers, books, pamplets and stuff are still messy MTL >NPCs in every chapter are still MTL, though admittedly MTL is much better this time due to having the Japanese script so they're at least understandable. I've come across a few districts where the MTL for NPCs didn't get ported in for some reason. >Keep in mind "done" means "edited." Pretty much every section could use an editing pass. A few things have fallen through the cracks here and there. Moreover I still feel certain word choice is a little clunky or sometimes just flat out feels wrong (I noticed things like the word "overseas" being used for international which doesn't make sense for the setting as an example).

I feel the need to say that I'm still out of sorts about the original trilogy being remade. I'm inclined to feel aggrieved that Falcom aren't spending their limited time on a new and more challenging project, but they're finally gaining more traction in the growing market; so I can understand why it might be better for them to do this. Tragically, I am also rather pleased to think that more people are enjoying and will enjoy Kiseki. NiSA being at all involved is still so unfortunate. Why can they not do a Xanadu Next style of title? I've probably mentioned this before, but it would really be so good for Falcom to use their bettering 3D skills on an original or throwback title that can put up a fight against more popular JRPGs. Am I dreaming? >>1074204 >NPCs in every chapter are still MTL, though admittedly MTL is much better this time due to having the Japanese script so they're at least understandable. Thank God. No one should ever have to pay for anything in mummies. >I've come across a few districts where the MTL for NPCs didn't get ported in for some reason This is a shame. And I wonder what exactly the problem with that part of act three is.

Kai's fan translation is more or less complete. A few acts still have MTL NPCs, there's probably a few missed lines here and there and a few of the less critical things (like newspapers, movies and the desert blog and such) are still messy MTL, but the game is basically in English now, so I feel comfortable sharing it for those who want to play it. https://mega.nz/folder/2eJnUDpQ#llZmv7DkjoWSrWFtlhi0vQ

I do expect a more proficient user and or someone on a better system and running the game through steam shouldn't have any issues at all.
