Falcom Classics English translation
ファルコム・クラシックス
Murzik's English patch for the Saturn Mode remake of Ys I in the Falcom Classics collection, playable from start to finish in its latest beta.
What's translated
This patch covers only Ys I, and only in the compilation's Saturn Mode, the remade version with new graphics and music. Dragon Slayer and Xanadu stay in Japanese, as does the original mode of Ys I.
Murzik hacked the game's text system, switched it to a smaller font and resized the message boxes so the English fits. Town dialogue, shops, item messages and the opening narration are in English. Version 0.763 fixed a bug with treasure chests and was tested from the beginning to the end of the game. The patch is still a beta: the books of Ys in the inventory and the titles of the closing story are untranslated, and the text formatting in the second half of the game has not been tidied yet.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the game following the instructions on Murzik's SegaXtreme page, and then you start Ys I in Saturn Mode.
