Not sure if it's alright to put this here, but I need to take a break from translating this game or I probably won't finish it at all. And with my PC starting to "forget" one of my HDD every now and then (right now I just need to restart it for the drive to reappear), I don't want to risk losing what is probably more than 80 hours of work.
So here is a link to the 1.4 version of the game with everything I have done right now...
What I've already done:
Second warning, and one of the reason I really need to take a break from this: This is my first serious try at translating a game and I don't even know Japanese. I'm using a mix of multiple translating sites (mostly DeepL for the translation and Google Translate to have access to/check the Romanji, as well as the Jaded Network for help with the onomatopoeia, even if I rarely find everything). I'm doing my best to end up with something readable and understandable, but my best might not be enough for some people. I understand that and thus warn them to maybe not give it a try and spare themselves the nightmares my attempt will cause.
On the other hand, if anyone also working on translating this game find anything useful in my mess, they are free to take it, just be sure to leave a link with your finished work if you complete it first (which shouldn't be hard for anyone knowing at least a little Japanese...).

EDIT:
Well... posted this just in time...
Just a few minutes after I was done with this post, my PC lost my "E:" drive again and I just spent the last half hour watching CHKDSK check it automatically after trying to simply restart the computer... Some files are lost (doesn't appear to have been important ones, just some hentais) but I'll keep my attention on it for some time. Hopefully that got rid of the problem and the drive stop disappearing. Otherwise I'll need to go buy a new one and take the time to transfer a little over 2 To of data...
EDIT 2:
Well, it happened again so it's time to start thinking about switching HDD. Good news, I still had a 4To one in stock just for a case like this (or to turn into an external hard drive, whichever was needed first). Bad news, the docking station I'm using to connect it to my PC, while made to be used with USB3.0, is connected to a USB2 port (or maybe even USB1.5, that computer is OLD). As a result, the software I'm using to make the copy give me an Expected Time until Completion varying between 1 to 20 hours just for the ~430 Go "chunk" I'm currently concentrating on. I will probably stop there once that's done and wait before starting on the 1.5To left. "Luckily", the drive seems to only disappear if I (or a software) try to copy files TO it, it apparently has no problem with copying FROM it, seeing as that "chunk" copy has been going on for a little over 3 hours and it's still there, when it would disappear after maybe 1 hour when I was downloading files with JDownloader2...
So here is a link to the 1.4 version of the game with everything I have done right now...
What I've already done:
- All items/armors/weapons (if someone take a look and can think of better translations for some of them, I've no problem making the edit, but I would prefer it be while all I have to deal with is text based and not once I've finished the pictures for item pick-up),
- All Skill are translated, as well as the menu to learn them
- While I still haven't found where the "accepting quest" dialogues are (whether in the guild, in the castle or directly from peoples), once a quest is accepted and put in the quest log in the menu, it does appear translated
- Did some edits to the icons of some items to be closer to what the item itself look like,
- All enemies' name are translated,
- All scripts should be translated,
- All CommonEvents are translated (Stealing, finding an item for the first time, etc...),
- Translated Sheryl's name on the UI with her HPs, MPs, TPs and EXP shown when on a map with enemies,
- Made another edit to the "message boxes" so you can now see that SHIFT is for hiding them (not really needed but I was using Photoshop already at the time anyway),
- All texts in the "normal everyday" version of the castle (not the events nor the endgame)
- Some dialogues here and there...
- Nearly every dialogues on nearly every maps...
- All events,
- The pop-ups that appear in the top right when entering a new map,
- The pop-ups that appear in the bottom right when picking up an item,
- Finding the courage to start working on that "main.rvdata2" in hope of finding those untranslated quests (the file is decrypted at least, and I turned it into a ".yaml" [not shared, but easy to do for anyone wanting to give it a try], so I just need to go through everything in N++)...
