Tales of Destiny 2



The only translation attempt for this game comes to us from www.gametranslations.net, headed by 13Philip13.

The original announcement came to us from here: http://www.gametranslations.net/index.php/archives/141

A brief idea of what progress has been made...

  • Decrypting files………. 100%–FINISHED
  • Menu’s………. 85%
  • Script………. 25%
  • Items………. XX%
  • Skills/Artes………. XX%
  • Weapons/Armour………. 0%
  • Skits……….0%


And details about his lead programmer/hacker:

"SkyBladeCloud is helping me decrypting the files so i want to thank him for that
Also this project will take some more time then BBS since i will take my time changing the character limitation this time and i will work more relaxed."


A recent New Year's update has come straight from 13Philip13 himself with great news on the progress of the translation: http://www.gametranslations.net/index.php/archives/228




There have been some additions to the team, noted here:

"First of all i would like to point the spotlights at StorMy and Penance who have offered to help me out for now, to get a better grip on things as it got a bit messy.
I would like to point out that i’m very grateful for their help and that they definetly deserve some credit too"

StorMy (also known as Stormyu22 who is working with another group on the Tales of Rebirth translation) is a very talented person whom i am very pleased to see joining with 13Philip13.

I will keep this blog updated with the latest translation news from www.gametranslations.net as soon as they arrive. Next up is Tales of Rebirth...

Instruction on applying patch in 4 easy steps.

3. On the 2nd path, find the PATCH FILE(TotWrm2_eng_patch_v0.3_kenma9123.ppf).

2. Go to "APPLY PPF"
3. Find and apply the .ppf file and done.
4. Copy the ISO in your ms0:/ISO Folder

Notes:

An advance Sorry for some translations, cause some words are not complete due to STRING LIMITATION.
Any mess done in the size/string will make the game not to start. So be contented on the words. Anyways, words are still understandable.
Example: "Just Like this" -->"JstLkeThs" <--yah (*sigh*)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I cant say for now if I'm gonna still continue this awesome project, being busy right now with my daily schedule so...
Hope you like the latest patch.:rock:

ENJOY!

Facts and Rumors of Version 0.4 Patch:

This is what was originally posted by the author of this version (al_alone17):

NEW IN VERSION 0.4 FINAL:
+ Improved Text (Fixed some typos)
+ More text are translated (NOT ALL)
+ Many More. Figure it yourself. 

NOTE: This version was done by ME. So don't expect to much. This is the last version that I will release, though kenma9123 can continue the team's patch if he wants to. Thank you for everything. Enjoy the game. 


However, the download to this patch was never made available in patch form, only in the form of an ISO which has been lost (dead links).
