YU-NO: A Girl That Chants Love From The Edge of The World English translation
YU-NO: この世の果てで恋を唄う少女 · YU-NO: Kono Yo no Hate de Koi o Utau Shōjo
TLWiki's complete English translation of the Windows release of YU-NO, Elf's time-travelling adventure classic, with optional voices brought over from the Saturn version.
What's translated
The whole script is in English: the prologue, every heroine's route, the path to the epilogue and the epilogue itself, plus system text and images. The team also translated Professor Imagawa's paper on parallel worlds, which you find early in the game, from the official guidebook.
What's new
- An optional voice patch adds nearly all the voice acting from the Sega Saturn release; where the versions differ, the script leans on the Saturn lines so that more of it is voiced.
- A few scenes that only existed in the Saturn version are added, alongside the original computer scenes.
- The hero is fixed as Takuya, the default name, because of the voices and word wrapping.
- An optional pack replaces the Windows music with high-quality recordings of the original PC-98 FM soundtrack.
Playing it
The patch only works with the Windows release of the game (the Elf Classics edition). The team's project page is gone, so the link points to an archived copy; the modern ai5-sdl2 engine reimplementation can also run the patched game. Apply it to your own copy following the team's instructions.
