Blaze Union: Story to Reach the Future English translation
ブレイズ・ユニオン · Bureizu Yunion
A complete AI-assisted English translation of Sting's PSP tactics game Blaze Union, the Yggdra Union prequel, covering every route, menu and graphic.
What's translated
minhnhattonthat's patch puts the whole game into English: the story on every route and ending, menus, items, skills, cards, battle and system messages, plus the image-based text such as the title screen, chapter cards, banners and tutorial slides. The staff credits are translated with names romanised, while the voice acting stays in Japanese. The translation was made with heavy AI assistance, and the author welcomes corrections through the project's issue tracker.
Recent fixes
Version 1.2 made the patched game boot on real PSP hardware and on Vita through Adrenaline, and lowered its memory use. Version 1.3 fixed a crash on real hardware when a morale recovery item was used on a unit at full morale, and stopped messages from spilling past the edge of their boxes. Saves from 1.2 carry over.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese game, following the instructions on the GitHub page. Start a new game: saves from the untranslated game won't work. The repository also holds the script and the tools used to build the patch, for anyone who wants to check or improve the text.
