Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Final Mix English translation
キングダム ハーツ バース バイ スリープ ファイナル ミックス
An English text patch for the Japan-only PSP Final Mix of Birth by Sleep, built on Truthkey's translation with miokudev's fixes for missing subtitles and the full Xehanort's Reports.
What it is
The Japanese Final Mix of Birth by Sleep already uses English voices, but every on-screen text is in Japanese. Truthkey's English patch fixed that years ago; this release by miokudev, published on GameBanana, takes that translation and repairs the problems it still had, using the newer OpenKh tools that allow deeper changes to the PSP game.
What's fixed
- Subtitles that never appeared in some cutscenes now display (they can still lag behind if you watch the Japanese-voiced cutscenes).
- Xehanort's Reports are restored in full, matching the HD 2.5 ReMIX text line for line, instead of the shortened version an earlier mod had to use.
- The ending of A Fragmentary Passage gets downscaled cutscenes from the PS3 release with the English dub.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own unmodified Japanese copy of the game with any xdelta3-capable patcher, as described on the project page. Questions and reports about missed lines can go in the page's comments.
