What's translated
Arks-Layer, the community behind long-running Phantasy Star Online 2 translations, organises this English patch for Nova in an open GitHub repository where translators work through the game's text: item, skill and class descriptions, quest names, loading screens, menus and story. The build dated 25 August 2024 adds translated cutscenes. Work continues in the repository, which welcomes contributions from people who read Japanese and from proofreaders.
Playing it
The patch goes on a modded Vita (or the Vita3K emulator) over your own copy of the Japanese game updated to version 1.05. The repository explains where the team shares its builds.
