Chrono Trigger: kWhazit's Final Cut retranslation
クロノ・トリガー · Kuronō Torigā
wakkoswami rebuilds the old Chrono Trigger retranslation patch around kWhazit's revised script: closer to the Japanese terms, but written to read naturally, with a batch of bug fixes on top.
What it is
KWhazit's literal retranslation of Chrono Trigger has been around for many years, along with several addendum patches that polished it by mixing in lines from other translations. This release takes a different route: wakkoswami inserted kWhazit's later, revised script and cleaned up the problems the old insertion patch carried. The aim is a translation that keeps the Japanese names and terms while still sounding natural in English, as an alternative to both official localizations.
What's new
- kWhazit's updated script in place of the original literal one.
- As many known bug fixes as could be included.
- An optional variant with a few small gameplay tweaks.
- Smaller hacks from other authors are folded in, such as a Japanese-style title screen, an updated time menu and menu fixes.
Version 1.11 shortens some battle messages that ran past the edge of the text box.
