Translation Sega Saturn

Nanatsu Kaze no Shima Monogatari English translation

七ツ風の島物語

A beta English patch for Enix's hand-painted Saturn adventure Nanatsu Kaze no Shima Monogatari, with the book, bestiary, hints and menus in English and a repainted title logo.

What's translated

The patch puts the game's text into English: the hints, every page and chapter card of the storybook, the bestiary of wind creatures, the menus, the name entry and the save screens. The title logo and the writing inside the pictures were repainted in English, and the caption cards in the movies get English subtitles.

What's left

The staff roll is still in Japanese, the creatures' wordless voices have no subtitles, and the bonus second disc isn't translated. The release is marked beta because nobody has played it through to the end yet.

How it was made

The project is by pzapzap under the CODEC BABEL name. Translation, hacking, art and testing were done by AI agents directed by a human lead, so the entry carries the machine translation and AI assisted tags. Version 1.1.0-beta re-checked the whole script against the Japanese and rewrote a large share of the messages.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese first disc, following the instructions on the patch's romhacking.net page.
