Anearth Fantasy Stories - Translation Project Thread

[SamIAm]

Might as well make a thread for this. I'll post status updates as they happen.

At the moment, Esperknight has basically cracked the text encoding in the game, and appears to have successfully dumped all of the script from the first town. I'm guessing that this actually comprises at least 10% of the game's total text, since that first town has lots of variation depending on which character type you choose.

Fortunately, from what it sounds like, the rest of the game script shouldn't be that hard to get out.

Right now, I'm working on what we have, and it's fairly easy going. Hopefully the whole first draft can be done in 50 hours or so.

So, away we go!

Awesome news.    Please keep us updated!

Are you guys intending to finish this before Xanadu 2?  I'm looking forward to playing both.  Hurray for more PCE games in English!

[SamIAm]

I imagine we'll finish X2 first. X2's script is done (until we can play-test it, anyway), so I'll be working on AFS while Esperknight does his thing on X2.

[seieienbu]

Sounds like good usage of resources.

[LentFilms]

You and Esperknight are working on so many projects! I really respect the amazing work ethic you guys have and I look forward to seeing all your projects completed.

It is going to be really cool when Xanadu 2 is finished. I still remember seeing SamIAm's help wanted ad for voice talent 2 years ago on romhacking.net. It has been ages since I last listened to the lines I recorded for the dub...they're probably pretty bad.

Awesome!  Another grand rpg getting translated.

Xanadu 2 and Anearth are my top two rpgs I've been wanting to play so this is AWESOME news

Oh f*ck yeah!! Some beautiful eye candy there! That really is a full-fledged 16-bit SNES looking RPG - never knew it was that good graphically and color-wise! I never got passed the opening sequence after realizing I'd never be able to fan-translate it back when I started working on Xak III and Ys IV. It looked nice enough even from that point, but since the text was compressed and I was just checking to see if it wasn't, I never did anything with it again (Ys IV was the only RPG I ever played through in Japanese and I got stuck, so that's not my thing...). But yeah, would be great if EsperKnight/SamIam actually do get this thing fan-translated!!



Yeah, look at that... f*cking gorgeous! I'd guess I was looking at a SNES RPG from those.
