Farland Story 2 English translation
ファーランドストーリー2
A complete English patch for Banpresto's 1995 Super Famicom strategy RPG Farland Story 2, with the full story, battle text, graphic menus and a new variable-width font.
What's translated
Every chapter of the story is in English, along with the stage cards, the ending and the staff roll. Battle messages, level-ups, items, units, classes, shops and the status, save and settings screens are translated too, and the title menu and the unit and map command menus, which the game draws as pictures, were redrawn. A variable-width font replaces the original large Japanese text, and the ROM was expanded to make room. The katakana title logo stays as it was.
The translator made it with AI assistance, so it carries a machine translation flag. Version 1.1 followed a few days after the first release. Thanks go to Bongo, whose notes from an abandoned 2006 attempt helped, and to Eien Ni Hen, whose partial script served as a reference for names.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own dump of the Japanese game following the instructions in the release, and start from a fresh boot rather than old save states. It was tested in Mesen 2.
