An exciting time indeed!
We would like to extend warm wishes to everyone on this most auspicious occasion. That’s right — for those of us living in the United States, Thanksgiving is just around the corner! Please remember to take a moment to give thanks for what we have and give and pray for those who may be less fortunate than us. (Yes, even you atheists out there — the Flying Spaghetti Monster is known to deign to extend his noodly appendage to those in need, often in the form of cans of Campbell’s soup.) With that said, let us move on to matters of great import: Tales of the Heart: Translator’s Cut: Anime Edition: English Edition.
As mentioned last time, we here at KAJITANI-EIZAN’s Patch Site have been hard at work implementing the features the Japanese developers would have told us they wanted to implement had we convened and conversed over plum sake and rice balls on a blanket spread out under the cherry blossoms with a breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji in the background. In Tales of Hearts, battle is all about the flow of emotions. Your ability to control your Soma to execute swift strikes and deflect enemy blows is heavily dependent upon your emotional state (Emotional Gauge). Now, Anna Hearts is a perfectly normal, sweet young girl. So when she has mood swings, this should naturally lead to astonishing feats of prowess in battle. If her emotions reach their peak, her Soma will enter a special new combat mode called Emotional Meltdown Overdrive, which heightens the capabilities of the user for a short time.
- While in Emotional Meltdown Overdrive, Anna will abandon all reasonable caution and take all enemy blows without flinching in the slightest.
- Further, her newfound aggressiveness will empower her basic attacks, causing them to deal heavy damage and physics force.
- Finally, her sheer force of will will allow her to kick logic to the curb and weave complex Psi Spells almost instantly.
Be careful, though, as once the episode passes, Anna may feel suddenly tired, cranky, and unable to act. She may also get the urge to snuggle under a blanket with a mug of hot cocoa, further reducing her battlefield effectiveness. Make sure to make the most of your time in Emotional Meltdown Overdrive!
Enjoy the holiday season with your family, friends, and loved ones, and check back later for further Tales of the Heart: Translator’s Cut updates!

I’m pretty sure the last two posters are the same person but whatever.
So you think there are people out there just waiting for Kaji to give up so they can start working on ToH? In case you don’t know Crimson Nocturnal is (was) the only group interested in translating Hearts, but the group ceased to exist thanks to people like you which don’t do anything at all to help in the project but, for some reason, think to have the right to demand things.
Another year has passed for you, poor thing, that’s waiting for a free patch and keep coming here weekly wasting your precious time. Oh the pain you must be going through just to come here and see the progress bar hasn’t moved.
But fear not, for I have the solution for your problem. Assume this project is a lie and stop wasting your time coming here. Or even better, go learn japanese and programming, that way you will not only be able to fully enjoy ToH but also start a translation project and show Kaji how it should be done.
I just hope someday you can recover all the time Kaji stole from you.

Seriously – if you don’t like his work, then just play the Japanese version.

Personally, I’m just waiting for the post where he tells us, this has been just one huge troll and he hasn’t actually translated anything but the things we see in the videos.
But hoping that’s not the case. Cheers!

naw he wouldn’t do that
but if he does, he’ll probably be like, “guys this was all a joke so you can get out”
and then like, the next day, he’ll release the patch saying that the post saying that it was a joke was actually a joke
and then we find out that the patch he released is actually a joke
then when people start complaining and stuff he says that everything really was a joke and that the post that had the joke patch was actually a joke and the original post before it stating that the project was a joke was actually true
but then he’ll release the actual super srs patch the next day saying that the post before was a joke, the post with the joke patch was actually somewhat srs and the post before that was indeed a joke
that made sense right

I laughed.
But my Kaji would never do something like that. I believe in him.

oh god, this guy´s such a fucking troll… i miss absolute zero -.-

Sometimes Kaji’s jokes are a welcome relief but the whole PSV scare was NOT funny in the least… Seriously, I’d rather swallow one of my Skylanders than go through something like that again… In hindsight everything’s funny though… lol
December 20, 2011 at 10:48 am | Permalink
It’s obvious most if not all of the last bitching posts were made by the same person, Angst, but with different nicknames. Just stop feeding the troll, why do you think Kaji doesn’t answer? Stop paying it attention and it will go away.

Jeez I meant Freeman, not Angst.
Sorry Angst. =(

So… people actually believed that Kaji could port ToH to the PSV?

I’ve beaten Tales of Innocence and that was a very fail game in my opinion. It started good but then started been borong and repetitive. So I waited one zillion years to beat that piece of crap =/
However, Tales of Herts seens much better (mainly if you cannot rotate de camera like Tekken)!
I’m wainting another zillion years and a really hope this game is good or I won’t ever play another Tales Of Game =D

Haven’t you heard thoughhim from Absolute Zero was hired by Namdai, who do you think is responsible for Tales of Innocence R? Kaji will follow the same path, TotH Director’s Cut will be on Vita thanks to him.

Sorry Kaji, but i still find it hard to believe that ANYONE, yourself included, would waste the necessary time to re-encode an entire game for a system nobody even has yet…

I’m always amazed at the retardness in the internet.
Looking at the star wars: the old republic forums i learned that people will whine and complain over everything and nothing. Doesnt matter if its the most awesome product ever, some people just like living that way i suppose.
Must be sad to be them.
/cheers for Kaji

Oh go to hell… Unlike you morons I don’t support everything he does… I’m glad he’s making it, but if he’s being honest about this, which frankly I still think he’s yanking tail, it makes me REALLY unhappy that I’m gonna’ have to buy ANOTHER Sony waste-of-space just to play it…
December 22, 2011 at 7:00 pm | Permalink
Then just steal a PS Vita if you don’t want to buy it.

Bob posts here pretty often, he just uses different usernames which support/ agree with each other comments to look like a crowd is dumb enough to take Kaji’s trolling seriously. The user “That guy” does the same, though I’m not sure if he and Bob are the same fag.
Actually there’s a lot of people here like him, and there were lots at Absolute Zero too. IMO Kaji should block the comments here and use only the board at AZ. I doubt whiny kids like Bob will take the trouble to create different e-mail accounts to do there what they do here.
But then again Kaji and thoughhim deal with trolls’ bitching in completely different ways. AZ deleted and sometimes tried to be diplomatic with trolls but I doubt Eizan cares at all.

Nah, he just trolls the trolls. It’s pretty fun.

It’s kind of unbelievable that the project’s not cancelled yet. Just look at the comments…
December 24, 2011 at 12:38 am | Permalink
“Go to hell” statement retracted… It seems you’re the kind of person who antagonizes just to annoy… And I have better things to do than to be a “troll”… Something I don’t think GT would know anything about…
December 24, 2011 at 3:01 am | Permalink
@pretty sure maybe it was roy not sure i could look but i dont have the intelligence to figure that out.
@rewritten i now must change my name to bob so we can get married. Can’t wait im so excited!!!!!!!

Omg I wanna marry someone too :/

@ Bob
Oh but I do know you have much better things to do, like moaning and bitching about the release date. And it’s obvious you are a very busy and important person, mister, since you come here a lot to waste time verifying if Kaji made an update worth your approval.
Too bad I haven’t got a life like you do =( but I do hope you have a very happy marriage.
Oh and I’m sorry if it looked like I was assuming to know everything about you. All I did was assume you characteristics made obvious by your whiny, annoying and trollish behavior here. My bad =(

ANGST I’LL MARRY YOU BBCAKEZ

@GT *puts up middle finger* If my behavior has been “trollish” it’s because you won’t just drop it… You HAVE to keep pushing me, I’m sorry that I was raised that if someone pushes, push back… I don’t agree with a lot of opinions here, but I do respect them… A lot of Kaji’s jokes I take in stride… But there’s one thing I can’t stand and that’s a know-it-all who thinks that because I’m a little quick to anger that I’m a “troll” and that suddenly he knows EVERYTHING about me… I never assumed to be so important, I already know MY opinion means jack-shit to Kaji…

Oh and one more thing, I don’t give a flying fuck about your marriage…

its ok bob
also i want three children
gt you can be best mang

@rewritten
Why, thank you! It will be an honor.
@ guy putting up middle finger
Bob you must calm down, it’s not good for your health. You don’t want to let you 3 kids grow up without a dad, do you? Sending people, to hell, swearing, throwing middle fingers and you still say you are a “little” quick to anger. Haha, you’re such a modest bomb. And you even say you can respect opinions despite calling people “morons” because they disagreed with your comment. You’re a really funny pushy guy. Keep pushing. =D
Oh and I hope it’s clear now I really don’t wanna pretend to know EVERYTHING about you, just stating what you little-quick-to-anger behavior makes obvious. Guess I did it again in my last comment, sorry about that. =(

now now everyone, remember your blood pressures.
December 24, 2011 at 1:04 pm | Permalink
*sigh*Thank you… I’m glad someone broke that up… Stubborn idiots, especially guys like me, just keep going when they’re pissed off… I’ll apologize for my quick temper but if GT thinks I’ll apologize to him, he’ll be waiting a long time…
December 24, 2011 at 1:18 pm | Permalink
Looking back this was a stupid argument and I was being a bit of a bully, I’ll apologize for that as well… Growing up people treated me like trash and it’s taking me a long time to get over the mentality that everywhere I go people will pick on me for no apparent reason… People change, I’ll get over that way of thinking someday… Still no apology for GT though…
December 24, 2011 at 1:56 pm | Permalink
Ah but it saddens me you take my words for some kind of bullying. Who said anything about apologies? I’m just glad you calmed down and put that middle finger to rest.
Merry Christmas everyone.

I’m glad this is over too it must have been all the marriage in one day. The power of love is much stronger than hate. Flower power FTW lol.
Merry Christmas to everyone also or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa if you celebrate either of those. =)

What? Its over? =( No problems though, I will take all of these posts and write a novel about it. I swear it will be the next Densha Otoko.
Kaji, I hope you have a hilarious update in store for this week, or at least amusing enough so the comments can be hilarious.
Merry Xmas everyone!
