Haou Taikei Ryuu Knight: Lord of Paladin English translation
覇王大系リューナイト ロードオブパラディン · Lord of Lords Ryu Knight: Lord of Paladin
A complete English patch for Bandai's Japan-only Ryu Knight action RPG on the Super Famicom, with a new variable-width font and an English rename screen.
What's translated
The whole script, more than 1,300 messages, is in English: cutscenes, townspeople, shops, inns, side jobs, the tournament and the ending, with every choice menu. Item names and their help lines, the place names on the save screen and the twelve episode titles on the world map are translated, as are the main, status, config, save and load menus. Only the title logo and a small YES / NO picture in the shop window stay in Japanese.
What's new
The text box uses a new bold variable-width font that fits more on each line, menus are laid out in tidy columns, and the rename screen now has an English keyboard for names up to eight letters. Game Translate also wrote a full walkthrough that uses the same names as the patch.
Playing it
The script was drafted with AI and then reviewed by the translator, so it carries a machine translation label. The patch needs the Rev 1 Japanese cartridge (Rev 0 will not work) and is applied to your own copy of the game, following the instructions on the official page. Saves from the Japanese game show garbled names, so start a new file. Translation by belfallen for Game Translate.
