Update [ 05/19/21 ]

Added Mec Parts/Programs, Characters, and Locations, which finishes off the first half of the Translation Comparison section.

That said, my work on this project is mostly complete. I do plan to finish the second half of the Translation Comparison page, where I take a look at select parts of the game script, but this will take longer since I still need to source the original PSX script (or barring that, copy it all down manually). I have no planned timeline and updates will happen when they happen. And as much as I love this game, I need a break after getting burnt out from the Remaster hubbub.

In the meanwhile, I’d like to announce the start of my next project, SF2 Perfect Works! Yes, I’m aware of other attempts to translate the book, but like with Essence, I’m tackling this one solo. It’ll probably take twice as long as Essence because of the density and difficulty of the text, but I’m damn well going to try.

Update [ 05/14/21 ]

Added Mystic Absorbs and Enemies to the Translation Comparisons page.

Update [ 05/11/21 ]

Added Monster and Enemy Abilities to the Translation Comparison page. Also made revisions to the Spells.

Update [ 05/10/21 ]

Added Equipment / Item Abilities and Spells to the Translation Comparison page.

I also made a few changes to the website as a whole. It’s been a long time coming, but I added a handy Search widget to the sidebar menu, the Koorong Computer Terminal.

Then I fixed the formatting for the Mystic Absorb / Mystic Absorb R tables, hopefully for the final time.

Update [ 05/07/21 ]

Added Gun, Hero, and Dodge Arts to the Translation Comparison page. I also finally figured out how to fix the formatting for the Mystic Absorb / Mystic Absorb R tables. (Somehow, reducing the font size hadn’t occurred to me…)

Update [ 05/02/21 ]

Added Martial Arts to the Translation Comparison page and revised the notes for Sword/Katana Arts.

Update [ 04/27/21 ]

Started working on Arts for the Translation Comparison page, but I couldn’t get further than the Sword and Katana Arts because some of these changes are making my brain melt.

Update [ 04/26/21 ]

Added the rest of the equipment and consumable items to the Translation Comparison Equipment page.

Update [ 04/23/21 ]

I’ve changed the Translation Comparison page to make way for new content. I’ve started working on individual comparisons for things between the JP, OG PSX, and Remaster names. I’ve started off by adding Weapon names to the Equipment page (yes, including that one).

Content that was previously on the Translation Comparison page has been moved to the Text Comparison page and will not be updated until I’ve finished my playthrough of the Remaster.

Update [ 04/20/21 ]

I added the majority of the Remaster names to the Name Comparisons page, everything except for Character and Location names. Special thanks to FFVD Games for helping source the Remaster names!

Edit: I’ve also added a new version of the Spark Charts page using the Remaster names.

Edit 2: Added new Mystic Absorb and Monster Ability list pages.
