Thank you this is a good start up to fix this game.

[Bucherebis]

It's already better than what the paid "professionals" managed to do.

[eternien]

[Tenshu]

So now you're gonna buy the game and give money to a company you hate?

Thank you for buying the game and supporting a company you despise for promoting a "woke political agenda."

I hope this means you will stop spamming the forums now though and enjoy the game in peace like the rest of us have been doing since the beginning instead of yelling
" The Sky is Falling! The Sky is Falling!"

Some people bought the game and played over 2 hours before knowing about this mess. Other have backed the Kickstarter.

I did purchase it without knowing. If I knew about this mess before I wouldn't bother at all. Considering this game non existent.

Are you saying that the 46k+ kickstarter backers are not real?

Hey hey people,

If anyone is interested here is my localization mini-edit mod:
Link[mega.nz]

I made this for my own personal use, but seeing how there are a number of people unhappy with certain localization choices, perhaps some of you will get some use out of it.

I documented all the changes made (‘Changes’ folder). Essentially, it’s most of the examples highlighted in the Zakogdo twitter thread. (chud, rub-a-dub-dub, etc)

I by no means claim this is a faithful (re-)translation or improvement upon the original localization. I, unfortunately, cannot read Japanese. I just made some edits. If you are content with the original localization, more power to you, you have no use for this mod.

The edits made are few and far between, you will undoubtedly come across more unfortunate localization choices. Feel free to let me know when you do, I will try and make more edits. Or you can make them yourself, if you don’t want to rely on others. I have left instructions on how in the ‘Do It Yourself Instructions’ folder.

Oh, and if your computer somehow catches fire, I am in no way responsible.

Awesome work!

Thanks for the 'how to' bit, much appreciated

You can see them when you go to Kickstarter. The comment section for backers there is free to watch for everyone.
Jesus, are you even trying to make some sense with your replies or is low effort gaslighting everything you can?

Nice, this is cool to see. At least this will help fix the most glaring translation choices

Can you provide some "highlights" ? in the form of screenshots? Of your work?
because whilst this is a good start, it's a farcry from a true fix(no offense to your good intentions).
The character's personalities in the localization still for the most part will seem out of place, even if the most "egregious" lines get removed...besides I highly doubt that Zakgdo has posted or even found but a fraction of the bad localized lines.
It is a game that's over 12 hours long and has over 100 characters whose lines the localizers might have twisted beyond recognition.

" The Sky is Falling! The Sky is Falling!" over something you don't agree with that was fixed for you within 24 hours of release.

We can all be happy now.

10000 Steam Points says when the sun rises tomorrow, the same group complaining about the localization, will find a new reason to Riot though.

Of course there will still be complaints. The developers are still at fault for these bad translations in the first place. Why should they be forgiven when somebody else had to clean up their mess? That makes no sense.

I wouldn't forgive some thug that stabbed me just because a nearby witness was nice enough to take me to the ER. And this doesn't fix a damn thing for console users.

lovely, if a mod like this makes it to completion I'd be a happy camper

I'm doing Japanese voices with German text and so far I haven't seen anything weird, outside of the usual localization issues. You know, translators doing a word-for-word even if it makes no sense in German, stuff like that. Normally I play all my games in English, I just wanted the maximum nostalgia trip because I first played Suikoden 2 in German.
(Or, as a professional localization company would put it: I'm a nostalgiamaxxing RPGcel.)

However, I did see a screenshot where a character calls someone a "chud" which completely threw me off lol. Putting a word like that into a JRPG is just hacky, all politics aside.

Just take your favorite passage from Dune or LotR and put words like "commie" into the dialogue, see how it feels. If a localizer came to you with that you would think they are lunatics. So I generally support these threads as long as there's screenshots and proof to go around.

It's also important for studios to be aware of this stuff and not fall for these hacky companies in the future. I'm assuming they are preying especially on indies since they are desperate for work.
