Tales of Destiny 2 (subbed) Present Timeline Part 6: Return

Man, talk about computer woes...hard drive crashes; spent a couple of days trying to find a new one; external hard drive absolutely refuses to restore my C drive like it's supposed to, so I have to reinstall everything manually; I find out that I'm still being denied access to some of my documents for some blasted reason, so I attempt to salvage them from my old hard drive; ordered the wrong HD enclosure because I'm stupid like that, so I have to wait until the correct one arrives; bloody thing still refuses to let me access the My Documents folder (which is where I keep all of my really important, irreplaceable files, of course!); finally find the solution to my problems after Googling for a while. So yeah, that's 2 weeks of my life right there. -_- On the bright side though, I quadrupled the size of my hard drive in the process (I figured that I might as well upgrade if I'm going to have to replace it anyway, you know?) plus I was able to add 2GB of RAM, so my computer is actually somewhat up-to-date now. I'm going to go bald if that ever happens again though, I swear. ;_;

Anyway, I know that I said that I wasn't going to add text bubbles to this part, but I looked at the next segment and it's mostly Skits, so I figured that I'd practice a bit. It's going to take me a minute to get the timing down, but hopefully it's easier to read than the sample I put up earlier. A suggestion was made to color-code the text, but it turns out that that is actually much more of a technical nightmare than adding the name bubbles, so I'm afraid that you're going to have to live without it (sorry!).

And on a completely different note, this is an interesting read if any of you have ever wondered what it's like to translate/hack a game. I'm really hoping that I wasn't one of the people who sparked the composition of the article though. ^^;;

keep up the great and awesome work Ianyn!

yer doing a VERY great job!

curious, are you just recording the game and subbing over it? or editting the this into a rom/iso of the game?

either way, keep it coming man! yer doing an awesome job!

[lanyn]

Thanks! ^^ I'm actually recording and applying hard subs to the videos using an editing program; I don't even know how to use roms, isos, or patches, to be honest. *sweats*

[vampirebatlord4ever]

cool, i hope to see the rest done. btw, is this the ps2 or psp version of the game?

and the fact you dont know much on roms, isos, patches, etc is a good thing unless you decide you wanna get into piracy and whatnot on the side *chuckles*

[lanyn]

L0rnch beat me to it, but yeah, this is the PS2 version. I can record off a PSP (I did teach myself how to install CFW ^^), but the picture quality isn't nearly as good and it's kinda a pain in the butt compared to capturing from a PS2. Plus, PP's patch is based off the PS2 game, so I figured it'd be best to use the same system and all. I keep hearing that there were some dialogue changes in the PSP version though, so I might eventually have to record parts of the port too.

Haha, sweet! Thanks for the new vid lanyn! U have a good upload rate nowadays.

[lanyn]

Heh, thanks, but my upload patterns could still definitely use some consistency. ^^;;

If he only had taken after you at all, Rutee.

He is a CLONE of Stahn, no Rutee genes there at all XD

[Spynmaster]

Really sorry for all the computer crap that happened to you. Just hope it doesn't deter your wanting to bring us more video, 'cause I certainly appreciate the effort you bring to translate them for us...at least for me. I hope you make more in the future.

[rayno10111]

Thanks alot i enjoyed witching but wheres part 7?

[Solvanderlyn]

This is great work!! Thank you for taking the time and effort to do this - it really is a joy to watch the translation as the game is being played. Keep up the good work, my friend!

[maniamaster2]

Are you gonna finish the written translation? I find that it's easier to play the game while reading that, so I can go at my own pace...

[CaramellNeko]

Are you still updating this? Because I really want to see more of this, I'd go and comment on every part, okay? ;__;

[6978890]

where is part 7 and +

thx

[LunerQfilm]

how did sthan die?

[KamonPeachFox]

Yay! A translation of ToD2! Keep up the good work!

[vampirebatlord4ever]

thanks to you both then :)

and yeah from what i know the only dialogue changes of the two versions are the new arena battles they added, and the new hidden dungeon? (recall it being a new feature to the psp version, but i could be wrong)
