I love Deception.

A lot.

Little wonder I was incredibly hyped for the fifth game.

Generation Xth: Code Hazard 0.5 Alpha Fan Translation – Released!

From Shram, the project lead:

There is 0.5 alpha of the full release. It’s buggy and I don’t know if it’s even beatable.

Gotta start somewhere. Hope you all enjoy.

Post-mortem: Soul Sacrifice

Posted by cj_iwakura on January 31, 2014

Full disclosure: I was a little skeptical of what Keiji Inafune was capable of once he left* Capcom. (*Some might say ‘was freed from’ is more accurate.)

Soul Sacrifice didn’t seem like the type of game I’d associate with the whimsical guy responsible for Mega Man, Legends, and lovable scamps like Tron Bonne.

As a huge fan of Demon’s Souls, which I’d heard brought up in comparison to SS, I was obligated to try it at some point. The fact that I recently picked up a Vita and got the game for free via PS+ helped expedite the process.

Sadly, Soul Sacrifice has about as much in common with Demon’s Souls as Monster Hunter does with Wizardry. There’s no dungeon crawling or exploration, or a sense of reward for delving into the unknown.

Another Suda 51 Trip: Flower, Sun, and Rain

Posted by cj_iwakura on December 25, 2013

Fortunately we don’t need to translate this one.

But thanks to Vermillion and yours truly, you can have a much better OP than the one in XSeed’s release.

FSR is not a pretty game. But it is very unique, and I like unique.

Here’s the entire Shin Megami Tensei IV OST.

Posted by cj_iwakura on December 19, 2013

So I loved SMTIV, of course. More on that another time.

It had a wonderful soundtrack, and Atlus has shown no signs of releasing it, unless you count that crappy ‘soundtrack’ that came with the game(I sure don’t).

So I gathered up all the rips from the internet, and you now have 90+ tracks of synthesized goodness.

Here’s some samples.

Golden Reverie Fan Translation – 1.10 Patch (Updated)

Posted by cj_iwakura on November 26, 2013

Short and sweet update, we were informed of a major glitch in a scenario.

This fixes it, as well as other things.

If you downloaded 1.0:
Get this vscript file. (UPDATED, earlier one was incorrect.)

http://www.mediafire.com/download/kqxvy57j6lwa5iv/vscript.bin

This fixes the Eva-Beatrice/Chiester 710 glitch, as well as updating the ‘Grandma’ Eva inaccuracy.
You can find the other files elsewhere in previous posts.

If you have yet to download the patch:

Here is 1.10:

This includes all above fixes, as well as the translated movelists.

I will be replacing the 1.0 patch upload shortly.
Enjoy, and as always, comment or email me if you find any issues.

Golden Reverie Movelist Upload

Posted by cj_iwakura on November 22, 2013

Warrants a new post since I overlooked it. Feedback has been largely positive, aside from an observation regarding the use of oba/obaa-san’s translation which will be addressed in the 1.10 patch.
