Langrisser III English translation
ラングリッサーⅢ
An English patch for the Saturn version of Langrisser III that can already be played from start to finish, with a reworked script, a translated interface and an optional subtitled opening movie.
What's translated
The whole story is in English, every dialogue and narration line across all scenarios, along with menus, the save screen, the name-entry keyboard and the names and descriptions of items, classes and spells. The ending staff roll, the scenario 3 opening credits and the hidden sound test were translated too, and the opening movie can be built with English subtitles over the Japanese voices. Names mostly follow the spellings of the series' modern English releases.
The project started from older translation drafts by Akari Dawn, ElfShadow and Oogami and from CyberWarriorX's early hacking, but since version 0.7 everything on the disc is generated by the project's own tools, and the script was revised line by line against the Japanese.
Latest changes
Version 0.8.0 mixed wide and narrow letters to remove odd gaps in the text, cleaned up the messages the game assembles on its own, and allowed names of up to 16 letters. Version 0.8.1 fixes the terrain names on the battle map and a mix-up in the Unit Orientation menu. A few small items, such as the hidden debug menu, remain before 1.0.
Playing it
A patcher for Windows and Linux builds the English game from your own Japanese disc image (the original release, not the later revision); the README explains which dump is needed. The patched game also works on real hardware. The authors also wrote a complete English strategy guide that uses the patch's own wording.
