Monster Hunter G English translation
モンスターハンターG · Monster Hunter G
Amaillo's English Remix patch for Monster Hunter G on PS2, which combines earlier fan translations with terms from Capcom's own English releases and translates nearly all of the game.
What's translated
Almost all of the game's text is in English: quests and their in-quest details, village quest descriptions, equipment, items and parts, skill names, NPC dialogue and the pop-ups shown at the end of quests. Only a few online-service pages that serve no purpose today were left alone.
The Remix approach
The patch builds on earlier work by Yuzucchi, ViciousShadow and Dixdros. Amaillo aimed for text that feels like an official release from the time, so many names were swapped for the ones Capcom used in the Western Monster Hunter and Monster Hunter Freedom, and the remaining text was translated anew. Pointers were adjusted so that names fit without heavy abbreviations, and dialogue now pauses at punctuation and scrolls faster.
Extras
Optional mods, such as a raw damage display, are included and are switched on with cheat files. Revision 15 fixed a set of crashes on real hardware and in online play, and the patch has been tested on a real console.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the game, following the instructions in the creator's post.
