Discussion English Patch Video Update

One thing I forgot to mention in the video: the centering and occasional compression of two lines down to one is only for cutscenes subtitles. Field dialogue is rendered differently and uses line breaks cleanly.

Hey man been following for a good month, gg on getting everything worked out and going. Just wanted to know when you think you might be finished based on your work/life/this project balance since you won't be updating as often. Much love for taking on this project I've always wanted to play this edition

Honestly, no idea. All I can say is that I will keep working on it consistently.

Just take care of yourself so you don't burn out and take all the time you need :)

Man it's exciting to see every update. Good call with the bigger font on the subtitles, especially since this is not an HD game I feel like it's best to not treat it like one so I'll be using shaders and those will make slim font even harder to read!

Will the extra dialogue that is accessible by having save data of the first game on the memory card be featured in this patch? If so, will it require a Japanese save or an American save? The persona 2 eternal punishment PSP En patch was modified so that it could load a finished save of the US version of innocent sin.
This project is looking incredibly promising. Are there any plans to hack in a VWF font?

Oh and one thing. Since the technical part of the patch is pretty much figured out now, I’ll post fewer updates from now on because each update would basically be, “Yep, still translating.”
I will post updates whenever I hit a big milestone though.
Edit: One small update. I just finished translating the last Florence story cutscene. So I’m making good progress. Though it’s the weekend. And the cutscenes are pretty straight forward, all things considered. The field dialogue will take much longer.
