Was just browsing a dark corner of the internet and a guy has managed to translate the game's text to English, presumably he just converted the PS2 files.

What a wonderful New Year's surprise, won't have to wait till March after all .

X-2 and Last Mission have also been translated too.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

But no, nice someone cared to do this for impatient ones.

 

[Soulflarz]

That was fast

What's the goddamn point!?

 

[kazebyaka]

What's the goddamn point!?

some people don't want to wait till March?

 

[Prelude.]

What's the goddamn point!?

Playing with the original audio?

 

[Zenaku]

Now someone needs to find a way to put the updated character models into the PS2 version.

I tried to no avail to switch Rikku's FFX-2 outfit with her FFX one, but SQENIX games were annoying in their file structure. =[

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

So does this mean Japanese voices with English text? If so, \o/

 

[Raynes]

They should patch over that shitty new remix ost with the original.

Exactly.

They should patch over that shitty new remix ost with the original.

I have no doubt that'll happen eventually too.

 

[Memento_Mori15]

They want to hear Tidus laugh like a crow.

 

[inner-G]

Yep. Though FMV is probably all nihongo

 

[Dereck]

As someone who uses a CFW PS3, yaaaaaay.

 

[Sub_Level]

What's the goddamn point!?

Some people don't want to play with the English voice acting, ya.

 

[Hibiki Rush]

Playing with the original audio?

It's been revealed for quite some time now that the game will have dual language tracks.

Nevermind that is Lighting Returns, bah. Whatever. Thanks SE.

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

It's been revealed for quite some time now that the game will have dual language tracks.

I thought they said that it wouldn't.

 

[Stuart444]

It's been revealed for quite some time now that the game will have dual language tracks.

no, it won't. That's been known for a while.

 

[epmode]

no, it won't. That's been known for a while.

Too bad. The English dub is awful and I'd rather just not understand what they're saying. No CFW PS3 though.

edit: Square's improvement in English voice acting following FFX is still incredible to me.

 

[RaikuHebi]

Yep. Though FMV is probably all nihongo

Ahhh shit. But from what I recall there's not much voice acting in the FMVs? I didn't finish the game though, only got up to Al Bhed.

 

[Sub_Level]

Ahhh shit. But from what I recall there's not much voice acting in the FMVs? I didn't finish the game though, only got up to Al Bhed.

There's really not. Someone who never played FFX before would do just fine, except for maybe the final fmv cutscene which does have some key dialogue.

Praise be to fail0verflow!

That's alright, no worries will watch it from Youtube.

 

[BocoDragon]

I do want this. No CFW PS3 though

 

[Dereck]

But wait, I don't know where to find this.

I'll explore my own dark corners.

EDIT: Success!

 

[stargateheaven]

hmmm.. i want this just for the japanese audio.

but i dont have CFW..

on another note.. WHY is this taking so long? i mean, march? really? it's pretty much done (this patch shows that)

 

[Aeana]

Marketing.

Releasing a big game in late December is a terrible idea.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I know this is a stupid question, but what is a CFW PS3? Is it one of the original fat PS3s?

 

[Holmes]

Ooh, if they also release a X-2 patch, I'll be in.

Last Mission was never translated, so maybe the English text are already on the disc?

 

[Dereck]

It's not strictly for fat PS3s.

 

[Twin Drive System]

So apparently, there are already multiple fonts and translations already included on the discs, but without modification they can't be accessed. GDI

The patch was basically just a matter of renaming and swapping some files around the disc and editing some files in order to fix the timings of the subtitles.

 

[Atomsky]

well, obviously, just because he can.

 

[koutoru]

Future on disk DLC?

january.

 

[Foffy]

Last Mission was never translated, so maybe the English text are already on the disc?

Maybe he took the text and work done for the fan-translation to X-2 International.

 

[RaikuHebi]

Must be. The audio folder for English is empty.

 

[MrDenny]

I always thought the english voice dub was pretty good, especially auron, lulu, and kimahri.
They're voices sounded more unique in contrast to their japanese counterparts.

 

[ZeroX03]

january.

January isn't a good release month either.

February is XIII-3's English release.

Thus, March. Japan already had XIII-3 in November, and December is a stronger gamer month I believe. We're left waiting until March because it's the best release date in terms of schedule (except it's already a really crowded month).

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I never liked how English Yuna's voice was raspy. I mean, what part of her character said raspy to Squenix? I thought Hedy Burress did just fine voicing her but the voice just never fit.

However JP Tidus >>>>>>>>>> EN Tidus

 

[Yawnier]

For some reason I thought this was out in mid February but apparently it is mid March? Awh man. What's another month anyway?

 

[jett]

This is pretty neat, if real.

They should patch over that shitty new remix ost with the original.

Exactly.



I have no doubt that'll happen eventually too.

That definitely won't happen, as the PS2 version uses sequenced music(like MIDI), while the PS3 version is undoubtedly using compressed, streaming audio(like MP3). It's just impossible.

 

[Dereck]

This is pretty neat, if real.

It is

 

[luka]

I finally got ffx international a couple years ago but I was never able to play it long enough to get to the extra bosses because the english dub bugged me so much. Many of the characters sound pretty decent, but Yuna is horrible. Complete destruction of character. I'll keep my original jp copy and the inability to sort weapons over some extra bosses if it means I never have to hear english Yuna again.

As much as i love FFX You are correct.

 

[Finalow]

indeed, that was fast.

 

[ZeroX03]

Got it working. Streaming now, come take a look.

You reckon? I'm sure it'll be converted to the necessary file format and what not.

indeed, that was fast.

Absolutely. I didn't expect it to happen at all. I'm absolutely chuffed to bits. PS4 am cry.

And here we go people.

 

[ZeroX03]

Be warned. I have shitty Australian upload speed, and the game seems to randomly glitch out.

Thanks for that. I assumed it had come from the PS2 files.

Better than nothing haha. Hope it's not too bad.
