ROM Hack [RELEASED] Blood of Bahamut English Patch

[Phoenix Goddess]

I have a gameplay question that doesn't seem to be covered on Wikipedia, and since it sounds like you guys/gals are knee-deep into the translation, I figured you might be able to answer this:

The Wikipedia page says something to the effect of being able to have four characters battle the giant boss creatures. Are the three other characters A.I.-controlled only, or can you hook up with other players via Nintendo WFC? Or are they controlled by the player, a la an RTS?

You can play local multi-player, but I that's about it from what I've played.

Here's a gamefaq topic about it right before they went off-topic >_>

It's 1-4 player local wi-fi. No AI-controlled helpers.

good luck guys!

Awesomeness!! I'm really happy that you guys are making progress! I still don't know why Squeenix didn't bother localizing this, since it looks like a pretty interesting game, but at least we'll get a decent fan-translation instead~ ;D

I've read in various places that sales in Japan were very poor. I'm guessing SE was of the mindset of "if a niche title like this won't sell here, it likely won't sell in the west."

I'll follow this thread and see if anything can be done. But this game is interesting.

The sales were poor, but from what I know Squeenie rarely license games out. I know Ignition tried to bring it over.

i love you guys! hehe keep up the good work! BOOKMARKED!

 

[Phoenix Goddess]

Thank you for the support!

I agree with sayuki, all you translators and hackers rock! It kills me that all these awsome games released in Japan never make it over here. You provide us with the opportunity to enjoy them so thank you very much for everything!

Just want to let y'all know that even if the first post isn't being updated frequently, progress has been made. Admittedly I haven't done much work on it myself lately, but the others have been great. I'll be working on this project full-time after my final exams at the end of this month (less than 3 weeks from now).

Don't worry, this won't become one of those fail projects that don't get completed. Too much work has gone into this--it would be a waste NOT to finish it.

I'll be on it fulltime after the release of TMGS2. I have 150 files to proofread for Inori and I's current translation and I'm done! X____X
If I can get those done tonight or tomorrow and release the final patch, I can pull all dayers to get the BoB honor titles done!

Sorry for the delay guys!

 

[GeekyGuy]

Glad to hear it. I have to admit, I peek my head in every now and again in anticipation, trying to see how things are progressing. There's just something about this engine Square Enix has used on DS that I love. Loved it in Revenant Wings, and I loved it in Covenant of the Plume. And with this having that sort of SotC thing going on, it's always been a game I've been very interested in playing.

Thanks for all the hard work.

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

This is the Only translation project I have any interest in.
So glad to see it progressing this well.

What?
Covenant of the Plume doesn't use the same engine this game does because it was developed by tri-Ace. And I'm pretty sure BoB and RW don't use the same engine either, only they're developed by Think & Feel so they have a similar look.

Good luck on TMGS2 (if it hasn't been finished already!). Like Densetsu, I've had some stuff throwing a wrench in my translation time. Luckily it looks like we'll all be able to work on it at the same time soon, I know I need some serious help with the upcoming Shiva chapter

 

[lagahan24]

wow I'm really looking forward for this project...God Speed!! wee another rpg for my collection wahaha

 

[727]

wow 73% in only a few months? gbatemp can kick ass when it wants to. I'm impressed.

 

[Ultraseven]

I hardly ever post but after looking at those screenshot I am damn impressed. Good job!
Wish the rest of the community wouldn't give up and push to finish their projects (and ignore trolls)

I also wish there was as active PSP translation community but oh well..

 

[trev1]
