Brandish 2 Renewal English translation
ブランディッシュ2 リニューアル · Brandish 2: The Planet Buster · Burandisshu 2
Gu4n's team translated Falcom's Brandish 2 into English, picking up the story of Ares after The Dark Revenant in the improved 1995 Renewal edition.
What's translated
The story, item and menu text and the opening of Brandish 2 are in English. The project site goes further, with translated story and world background, character profiles and an FAQ, styled after the official English site for the remake of the first game.
Which version you need
The patch only works with the Renewal release of Brandish 2 from 1995, not the original 1993 version (the edition sold digitally in Japan today is the original one, so it is not compatible). It uses the Pachy98 patcher, which finds your disk images, backs them up and patches them; the team tested it with a hard disk image of the game.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the game following the instructions page, which also explains emulator setup and the controls: arrow keys to move and turn, Shift to strafe or jump, Space to attack. You don't need to have played the first game, though the team recommends it.
