Arc the Lad: Kijin Fukkatsu English translation
アークザラッド 機神復活 · Arc the Lad: Kishin Fukkatsu
An AI-made English patch for the Japan-only WonderSwan Color Arc the Lad, covering the full script, menus, guild jobs and battle text.
What's translated
All the dialogue, guild job requests, Finia's diary, shops, inns and menus are in English, along with item, weapon, monster, place and attack names and descriptions. Series names such as Elc, Shu and Lieza follow the earlier English Arc the Lad releases. A new proportional font is drawn by the game's own text routines, and dialogue is shown in capitals for readability on the small screen. The prologue caption and the RUSH GAUGE label were redrawn; the title logo stays as it was.
How it was made
mariovirgili says the work was done entirely by AI (Claude) as a personal project, with a second AI review of the script. The opening chapters, menus and shops were checked in an emulator, but battles, the guild screens and later chapters had not been tested on screen at release. Saves made with the Japanese game can show garbled windows, so start fresh or load an in-game save.
