PoPoLoCrois Monogatari II English translation
ポポロクロイス物語II · Popolocrois Story II
A complete English translation of the three-disc PlayStation original of PoPoLoCrois Monogatari II, letting you play the full game instead of the cut-down PSP version.
What's translated
All the story, NPC dialogue, menus, battles, monster cards and the in-game map are in English, and the patch also comes with a translated manual and a text file covering the voice clips on the disc-swap screens. The aim was to present the game in its original form: the later PSP release folded this story into a combined package with the first game, cutting and changing a good deal along the way.
The project grew out of LostOkina's earlier partial patch, which Zenksren and LostOkina carried through to a complete release in late 2024.
Recent updates
Since the first version the team has kept polishing: fixing untranslated or overflowing messages, revising parts of the story script, using an English font for numbers in rewards, translating the title on memory card saves and making item and character names consistent with their English patches for the other games in the series. Version 1.34 fixes an empty message box in Chapter 3 and renames an enemy.
Playing it
There is one patch per disc, applied to your own copy of the Japanese release following the instructions on the release page. It has been tested on real hardware and several emulators.
