Tales of Rebirth English translation
テイルズ オブ リバース
The complete English fan translation of the PS2 Tales of Rebirth, with subtitled scenes and fixes for some bugs from the original game.
What's translated
The Lifebottle team's patch translates the whole game: story, NPC dialogue, menus and the voiced scenes, which get English subtitles both in cutscenes and during battles. A beta covering the full game came out in December 2024; version 1.0 followed in October 2025.
What's new in 1.0
- Battle subtitles now scroll like a chat log instead of vanishing too quickly.
- Fixes for side-quest flags being lost, a subtitle crash in one movie on real hardware, the first memory card message and font colours.
- Two bugs present in the original Japanese game are fixed as well, one involving saving and one with the pause screen background.
- Many typo and consistency fixes.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese disc, following the readme and the instructions on the team's GitHub page. On PCSX2, use a hardware renderer and the hardware fixes the team recommends.
