Shining Force III: Scenario 1 - Outo no Kyoshin English translation
シャイニング・フォースIII シナリオ1 王都の巨神 · Shining Force III
The Shining Force III Translation Project's patch for the first scenario, built on the US release, with its text reworked to match the team's translations of Scenarios 2 and 3, bug fixes and optional mods.
What it does
Scenario 1 was the only part of Shining Force III released in English, but its localization doesn't line up with the later scenarios the fan team translated. The project's patch starts from the US disc and revises the text so names and terms stay consistent across the whole trilogy, along with a long list of fixes and optional changes chosen through the team's patch wizard.
Version 25.1
Released in October 2024, this update fixes how the patch wizard reports conflicts between patches and mods, repairs the enemy-weakness bugfix, and adds a few small fixes: in Scenario 1, an optional fix keeps the hero from ever being sent to the reserves. New optional mods include preferred weapons for each character, friendlier blacksmiths, showing high enemy HP instead of question marks and access to reserve members in town.
Undub option
Because the patch is based on the US release, battle voices are in English. A separate undub version swaps in the Japanese battle voices.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the US Saturn disc with the team's patch wizard. Everything is explained in the project's release post.
