Translation NES / Famicom

Tales of Phantasia (Famiclone) English translation

幻想传说 · Huan Xiang Chuan Shuo

A complete English translation of the Chinese Famiclone version of Tales of Phantasia, a curiosity that the team happily admits is a rough game.

What's translated

All of the game's Chinese text is now in English, from the dialogue to the menus, and the title graphics were redone. The team is frank that the game itself is badly made: it sometimes shows the wrong line of dialogue, uses strange colours and is poorly balanced, so they ask players to report only problems with the translation, not with the game.

Extras

An optional easy mode patch starts every party member at level 99 and lowers the encounter rate; apply it after the translation. A list of cheat codes and useful memory addresses comes with the release.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Tales of Phantasia cartridge (not the Fantasy World variant), following the instructions on the patch page.
