Fukufuku no Shima English translation
福福の島 · Fuku Fuku no Shima
A first English patch for Sony's relaxing, fortune-telling island life game on PSP, covering the dialogue, menus, items, fortunes and newspapers.
What's translated
Every character's dialogue is in English, along with the opening quiz, trivia, maxims, daily fortunes and personality tests, the daily newspapers and messages in bottles, and the names of items, clothes, furniture and places, menus and system messages. Buttons, the title menu and result banners were redrawn in English, and the name-entry keyboard has English function keys while keeping the kana so Japanese names still work.
The crossword puzzles stay in Japanese because they are built on kana grids, as do a few things drawn into images such as the loading-screen character bios and rank certificates. The status screen shows only a two-letter short form of your Chinese zodiac sign.
Before you play
This is the first public release. The author notes that the translation was made with AI assistance and is still being proofread, and that it was tested from the title screen through character creation and the first menus in PPSSPP; the rest of the game uses the same text system but has not all been played yet. Reports with screenshots are welcome on the project page.
Playing it
The patch is applied to an ISO made from your own Japanese UMD (UCJS-10016), following the steps on the project page. It works in PPSSPP, on a PSP and on PS Vita through Adrenaline.
