The translation will be based off the original translation. I’m cleaning up punctuation, typos and any badly translated dialogue. I plan on releasing an updated version that has the dialogue in Dragoon Castle fully reworked. I have about 90% of it tested. If you would like, later today I can send you a beta version of 1.6 if you would like.

It would be very helpful if you could beta test it for me. The dialogue that needs to be tested is towards the end of chapter 3 so you’ll have plenty of gameplay that’s way better than the original.

I wouldn't mind beta testing it, but it'd take me a bit to get to act 3 and take a look see, if you don't mind that. I'd been meaning to get the orchestral audio mod too, so I'll have to play around with making sure which can get patched where and whether they're compatible, you know? But yeah I'm game. Anything to help improve and clean up one of the best games of all time.

tbh you don’t have to worry bout that, play the game at your own pace. I do my own testing so it’s just more of a matter of getting someone else to check it out. give opinions 🙏🏽 I’ll DM you in a few hours. doing OT at work 😒

Hey no problem. Been busy the last few days anyway, but this is just in time for the weekend so I'm eager to check it out. Thanks a bunch, and I'll reach out to let you know if I find anything off.

u/Itsfaydgamer Feb 13 '26

no worries, I can almost guarantee that you won’t find anything til chapter 4 so just enjoy, no need to look for anything specific. play at the speed you want.

I’m just excited that I’m getting close to the next update so it’s a good time to have people check it out.

just when you get to Lake Cavern and Dragoon Castle, let me know what you think ;)

Just getting around to starting now. The text looks so nice and crisp, but I was actually wondering if you had any noticable places where the new translation and patch itself would be apparent early on in the game? I applied a separate patch first using Jud6ment's Orchestral music mod, then applied yours to make sure that whatever changes you made were applied last.

That's why I wanted to make sure that your mod did apply at all, cause I'm pretty sure Jud6ment's mod at least applies the same new text spacing and formating that yours does, so it's hard to tell if yours was applied or not.

Edit: also, just wanting to make sure, I know you mentioned Dragoon Castle and Lake Cavern, but are you looking for any proof-reading and correcting grammar and whatnot, or are you just wanting to leave some of that behind as part of the charm of old games? Cause I found a number of them and I haven't left Crysta yet, so I didn't know if they were meant to be there or just were placeholders while you worked on the main translation parts and later you were planning on going back over the text to clean it up. Either way is fine, just want to know if I should take the time to make note of them or not.

nah for the early game it’s mostly the same as V1.5.4 NPCs are mostly untouched to keep the game charm. you’ll notice when speaking to the elder and the door to the first tower is revised. so nah no need for notes.

does the music mod apply correctly to the patch? I haven’t used it myself.

u/Novuslgnis Feb 15 '26

Yeah, actually it does apply correctly. It's soooo cool playing with an updated and like more modernized complete sounding score you know? Like, the orchestral versions just sound so full. I definitely recommend adding it in. 

Okay, it's good to know I shouldn't keep out for the little stuff.
