Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut English translation
テイルズ オブ デスティニー ディレクターズカット · Teiruzu obu Desutinī Direkutāzu Katto
Life Bottle Productions' full English patch for the Japan-only Director's Cut of the Tales of Destiny remake, covering story, skits and menus on both Stahn's and Leon's sides.
What's translated
The team reports the whole script as done: the main scenario, every skit and all the menus are translated and edited, along with item, weapon, armor and tutorial descriptions. Version 1.6 is a polish release that fixes spelling and grammar reported by players and finishes the translation of the credit roll on Stahn's side. The roll at the end of Leon's side is still in Japanese, and the team warns that a few stray Japanese strings may remain in rarely seen spots; they ask players to report them with a screenshot.
About the project
The translation started in early 2021 as an open, community-run effort on GitHub, with patch builds published along the way while the menus, the story and the skits were finished. Many people took part in programming, graphics, translation and proofreading; the credits on the project page list them all.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese PlayStation 2 disc, following the instructions on the team's GitHub page. Problems with the text can be reported on the repository or on the team's Discord.
