Anearth Fantasy Stories - Translation Project Thread

[m1savage]

Yeah, what he ^ said. 

[Dicer]

I don't wanna see this thread updated again without a download link....

[SamIAm]

Well sorry, Dicer.

The good news is, Esperknight has been doing a bit of work on Xanadu II again this week, and in an effort to get a positive morale-feedback loop going, I've been doing work on this. There's still a lot of text that needs to be dumped, though.

I think I mentioned this before, but if someone wants to play the game in Mednafen (gotta be Mednafen) and make frequent (and I mean VERY frequent) savestates so that we have an archive from throughout the game, that would save me a lot of time. Black Tiger kindly sent me a batch of Magic Engine game saves, but it's not enough to keep me from having to go through the game again just to get undumped text.

PM me if you're interested in helping.

Come on, Necro! You can play through it and then talk about it in your game completion thread. Kill two birds with one stone.

Or light an ass fire under Runinruder. He's already played through the game as far as I can tell.

[SamIAm]

It sounds like I've got one volunteer. But if someone wants to go through the game as a different character, that would be quite useful.

Blacktiger sent me a few saves as the fighter. I have been though the game as the thief. The optimal situation would be for anyone else to go through using one of the other two characters. Any takers?

Is it doable for a non-japanese?

It will likely be tricky in any language, but this as good a walkthrough as you could have:

The only thing is that the game isn't so linear, so if you get stuck and the what the walkthrough says to do isn't working, try something else.

I had extremely limited internet access when I played through on a tablet, so I made it almost completely through on my own for what it's worth. But I've also played a lot of Japanese RPGs.

[deubeul]

I did a lot of japanese Pce rpgs back in the days, but very often got stuck in non linear ones, but with the walkthrough, i can give it a try,, plus i won't spoil me the entire game as it's only one character out of four

[SamIAm]

OK, we've got one volunteer confirmed going through the game as the Monk. That leaves the Wizard character. Any takers?

deubeul, PM me if you are interested.

[deubeul]

I'm in 

[m1savage]

Glad to see progress on this.

I have a favor to ask of anybody who is playing through the game for the translation. If you have screenshots of items I'm missing in my walk through ( http://m1sz1.com/anearth/gear.html ) or any additional information, corrections etc. please PM me so I can update the site. Of course I'm guessing the site will be even more useless once the game is completely translated but I'd still like to finish it up someday. Thanks!

[deubeul]

To be honest until now i strickly followed your walkthrough   :oops:
A big thank you for it by the way, I wouldn't have played the game without it.

[clackattack]

any more progress yet on this?

[BigusSchmuck]

any more progress yet on this?

I'll start doing some more save states stuff as the monk this weekend (freaking work has been hectic) and go from there.

[deubeul]

I just finished to play through the game as the wizard and sent my saves to SamIAm.

The game is really good, still enjoyable in japanese so i think the english version will be pure awesomeness. Graphics are gorgeous, and the battles are the most beautifull I ever saw in a PCE RPG.

@ M1savage: I took snapshots and notes on the differences I saw with the wizard, I'll send it to you soon.
