"Envein refers to her group as the [Four Apostles]. This is in reference to the term the “Four Heavenly Kings”, which the game itself references."
It's actually a lot more of a common Japanese videogame thing than just that. In Pokemon it's the Elite Four, and in Final Fantasy (most notably 1 and 4) it's the Four Fiends and the Four Archfiends. With that in regards, you could probably even just call them Fiends/Archfiends as well in VQ2, as they are relatively supposed to be "demonic" and the word fiend gives off that impression more than the holier term apostle.
Envein's element is wind, similar to how FF4's Barbariccia is a wind elemental archfiend.

Originally I was actually going to call them either the [Four Hounds] or the [Four Emissaries], the only reason I stuck with apostles was because of how it related to the four temperaments, and the game seems to take at least some inspiration from Europe, especially Germany. If the other two girls don't fit these personalities I might go with fiends instead.
It's kinda funny how much the concept of "Four scary, major bosses" happens in a lot of Japanese media, never noticed that.
I wish there were an easier way to translate Japanese because the kanji used for what I translate "lightning" as is lightning AND wind, but it's pretty difficult to write it in a way that both makes sense and doesn't take up too much space, since "lightning" already takes more space than "fire" or "ice" does. I figured Envein was more wind than lightning based on her attacks, but it's hard to justify translating it as wind since Pyurano's abilities are purely lightning-based, as with Mikami's. I thought maybe "storm" could work, but it honestly feels more confusing than anything else. I suppose it technically doesn't matter since I really just need to make the four main elements match up with what the party's attacks do.

Yep. The game will still run like normal, I just haven't translated up to there. It would be pretty shitty if I disabled parts of the game I haven't gotten to yet, lol.
I have to commend you for such an undertaking, this game is massive. i played until i reached parts which were not translated and the translation quality seems fantastic thusfar.
Go to Khudina's place, in the western district of the city. It's up the stairs and has a flower archway in front of its door. Can't miss it.
wtf, did MEGA change their download quota? i couldn't even downlaod the whole file before i got hit with a 6 hour cooldown. is there any other place to get it?
Very wacky request but does anyone mind uploading a less compressed version of this MTL? I use JoiPlay to play RPGM games on my phone cuz it ain't safe to play on the only PC when it's shared with other family members, and this game is like the first time ever on this site that I run into an archive that my phone simply cannot extract
Now that you're mentioning it, it's probably due to the Japanese regarding 4 as the number of death, really a more common trope than I thought

I'll see what I can do to find other sites like uploadhaven or nopy. Not used to them, since I was only ever familiar with MEGA.

Just wondering, is your translation included with Corazon de Melon's translated images or not?

It doesn't, unfortunately. Since I'm planning on translating Rai's images on my own time, my translation will mostly be of my own edits. If you'd like you can insert his images into my translation, as he has more to offer than I do currently. Since multiple people are editing images on their own, I don't want to hijack their work without either crediting them, or getting their permission.

NW, thanks for answering my question. It's been half a year since I bought this game, and I'm really surprised to see that there's someone willing to translate this game and has come this far. I knew that this game has a lot of lines, and some of them are in format of image. Can't thank you enough for all your hard work. Sorry if I can't help you with the Patreon stuff atm, but if you provide some other way to give you a tip, like PayPal or buying you a coffee, that would be great.

No worries, even just seeing other people interact with my translations is enough for me. I'll see if I can't set other sites up for tips and whatnot for those who would prefer other methods.
Also, very appreciative of Koikatsu modders, you guys make the craziest most detailed characters in that game and I can't fathom how you all do it.
My only lifetime regret.....
When i was kid, Why I didn't learn japanese.....

In case you still need them, I made workupload and gofile versions of the folder.

Ah, and for the less compressed version, I made one that's in a zip file so that it's less compressed.
