Hello! IDK if its still being updated, but im playing the game (1st time) using your mod. I like it so far! I just got rid of the snowstorm (to be as spoiler free as possible) and in a scene talking to a priest (one telling you about the prism), the cyborg party member (sorry - on a whim I cant recall his name atm) he says:

"We need a vehical that can travel across that lake."

This comment is just to point out a very minor typo that stood out to me. Again, completely inconsequential. But felt like saying it. Hmm post hasnt been updated since 4y, I guess its final. Well to everyone else, have a chuckle out of it. :Yona: I recommend this mod to anyone. Its pretty good. <3

Ikagura, yeah, agreed. The Phantasy Star Compendium translation by Rebecca Capowski is also essential reading!

I have a link to both (along with the other resources I used for my patch), at my project page [gamesdonelegit.com].

Sorry I haven't been around, I had brain surgery last January lol but everything is A-OK now.

I have "final" versions of both the Purist and WD patches up on RHDN. I'll update them here too when I can!

Ikagura, idk if I answered this, but I made two versions of my project because I had just a few lines that I thought were funny but were a little more "out there". So the Purist has a few lines of dialog removed or altered. But they're 99% identical. It's less than maybe 20-30 lines that are even slightly edited.

I hope that helps! Really happy for the kind feedback! Really happy when folks have enjoyed it! I love this game and hope I've helped people enjoy it a little more too.

I'll need to read that book someday.

It also reminds me how the Online series was tied to the original in the first drafts of the original Dreamcast version because of a reference to Generations of Doom.

Wish Sega could've kept a consistent lore and universe across the saga.

Haha, thanks, Ikaruga.

I'll prob make a new thread about this, but a new piece of backstory tying 2 major characters together was discovered in a developer interview in the PHANTA! Phantasy Star 30th Anniversary book.

I think it really ties up the only 2 somewhat weak elements of the plot and makes them mean much more.

So I'm uploading version 6.0 as soon as I can.

Hey guys,sorry I haven't checked this thread :)

Ikaruga, yeah, I added some lore and mostly throwaway lines to make the NPCs dialog less banal. I love Working Designs and my writing preference is similar, so if you like the WD style of localizations, try that. It's my preferred version either way, but I took out many of my additions to the script in the Purist.

Jolf, cool, feel free to give me any feedback on it! I'm always improving it.

"Purist"? Which means it's closer to the original game?
