Otogirisou: Sosei-hen English translation
弟切草 蘇生篇 · Sound Novel Evolution 1: Otogirisou Sosei-hen
Talion's English patch translates the whole script of Chunsoft's PlayStation remake of Otogirisou from the Japanese, with in-game notes explaining Japanese terms.
What's translated
The whole PlayStation script, every scene and branch, is in English, along with the menus, the save, copy and erase screens, the help pages, the end-of-game screens and the image of the controller. Honorifics are kept, and the first time certain Japanese words show up a short note in lavender under the text explains them. Text is laid out so any player name from one to six letters fits. The Machi demo on the disc, the title logo and two small graphics on the book screen stay in Japanese.
About this patch
The English version was translated from the PlayStation's own Japanese text, with the older English translation of the Super Famicom original by ButThouMust and Guest used only as a reference for names and terms. The lead flags it as a machine translation. A Spanish patch is made from the same tools and comes in the same release. Recent updates fixed leftover text after menu choices, spacing glitches, and a black screen when the patched disc is converted to PBP.
