Dragon Quest I & II English translation
ドラゴンクエストI・II
RadMageIRL's fixed edition of RPGOne's English translation of the Super Famicom Dragon Quest I & II, removing soft locks, wrong names and broken dialogue.
What it is
RPGOne Translations' English translation of this remake has been the usual way to play it for years, but players kept running into bugs. RadMageIRL's patch bundles that translation with mziab's fix for the Dragon Quest I title screen and a long list of corrections, applied in one step to the Japanese game. The English text is RPGOne's; the changes are mostly in code, pointers and line breaks.
What it fixes
The headline fix is the Dragon Quest II soft lock when you use the Leaf of the World Tree on the sick prince. Others include party names swapped while the prince is ill, the Dragonlord's transformation text, the princess's messages, the king's save and victory lines, a menu that read Status twice, the Echoing Flute and the Chance spell. Most fixes from an earlier fix patch by Rod Mérida are covered too. The README explains each one with before-and-after screenshots.
Two flavours
Version 0.4 comes with Japanese-style names (Roto, Laura) or Dragon Warrior names (Erdrick, Gwaelin), and restores eight possible names for each companion, as in the Japanese game.
