I started playing with the fan translation program, and I wanna gush about how friggin cool this thing is!
Basically, how it works is you use the PS Streaming app to stream the PS4 video to your PC. Then you start the program so that the translated text is now overlaying the game (By the way, this is a legit fan translation. NOT a machine translation). Okay, here’s the cool part: The program responds to your controller, so that when you advance the text in the game by pressing X (I am actually using an Xbox controller, so A), it advances it in the program too! Outside of cutscenes, you can click the Left Stick in so that it locks the text, meaning A presses during gameplay won’t advance the program’s text. You can also use LT and RT to rewind or advance the program’s text, without advancing the actual game’s, in case it gets a little desynced. It sounds very clunky, but it actually “just works!” It’s very close to playing an official localized game!
This game probably won’t be released in the West until 2024 (thanks to NISA’s slow asses)! But thanks to the crazy and dedicated as hell Falcom fanbase they got it translated and in our hands today!
By the way… holy crap my PS4 Pro is SCREAMING playing this game. I suppose the poor thing hasn’t been used in a very long time… and now I’m making it play a game and stream in 1080p to my PC. Good thing I’m wearing headphones…
