Everyone else was releasing something, so we didn’t want to feel left out.
First off, a hearty (belated) congratulations to Phantasian Productions for going the distance and releasing Tales of the Phantasy: Dhaos Nooblord Forever Edition for the Playstation Vita. This translation patch has been over ten years in the making, and it has finally paid off–go try it out if you haven’t already! Second, a hearty (belated) congratulations to Namco Bandai Games for going the distance and releasing Tales of the Heart: Reimagination: Demo Edition, also for the Playstation Vita. This game was hinted at quite a while ago back when people got to the end of Tales of the Innocent: Reimagination for the Atari 2600 and found artwork depicting the other two games in the Tales lineup for the Nintendo DS. Presumably, Namco will soon announce Triverse of the Tempest: Reimagination on 3/4/13, three days before the release of ToH:R, in an effort to reduce consumer interest in their soon-to-be-released product, in typical Namco fashion.
In the wake of such exciting releases, we at KAJITANI-EIZAN’s Patch Site felt the need to do something to show Tales series aficionados that we care. So we brainstormed for a while and hit upon a great idea. Visitors to this site had been complaining that the progress bar hasn’t changed recently. Done and done. You can see the changed progress bar on the right side of the screen. This is our way to show you that when people clamor, we listen.
What’s that? Not exciting enough for you? Oh. Well. I was sort of hoping that would be plenty exciting enough. Uh… well, I guess I can talk some more about how cool my favorite character, Hisui, is. Oh yeah, and I talked about that one volcano, right? The one whose boss wrecked my party until I figured out/created a pro strategy to deal with him in a truly pro fashion? Well, what could be better than Hisui fighting in that volcano? Behold:
Man, isn’t Hisui so awesome? There are many things that make him totally awesome. First, his versatility. Being especially good with swords or chanting arcane spells or what not is nice and all, but why not be good at everything at once? He can shoot enemies from afar with his bowguns while kicking away close-by enemies with his feet while casting a healing spell to save an ally, all while not being a frail mage that will keel over at the slightest breeze–in short, he excels at everything. This means he is always useful on the battlefield, and looks awesome doing it because he can shoot his bowguns by pointing his fingers like a boss. Second, his clothes. Unlike everyone else in every JRPG ever, he is actually dressed for an adventure. He has styling shades to protect his eyes, a warm sweater and jacket to stave off freezing winds such as those from his hometown, and gloves to protect his hands from all the rough work that is required of saviors of the world. By the way, you may want to carefully examine the period after the word “everything” above. Anyway, this makes him practical, a trait that is sorely lacking in the characters that populate the fantasy anime/JRPG genre. If you don’t believe me, just look at Shing’s leather body suit cum jockplate, Amber’s unfitting-for-the-snow leotard, Beryl’s painter overalls, and Innes’s halter top plus shinguards. Third, he has a heart of gold. He obviously cares a lot about his little sister, and yet, instead of murdering Sieghart when he accidentally his sister, he accepts his help and eventually warms up to him, becoming best buddies by the end of the game. Also, he eventually forgives the alien princess even after she [redacted due to spoilers] and warms up to her as well, promising to see her mission through and support her every step of the way. To summarize, he is basically Warrior Psychologist Jesus. Practically the only thing that could make him better is if he had multiple High Ohgeez like most other Tales characters… if only that were the case. If only.
Well, that’s all I have for now. We hope you enjoy the patch; please let us know if you have any issues. Until next time, guys!

Ah. No, I doubt such a feature is hidden somewhere in the game, or at least that it would be easy to find and access. I’m glad you mentioned the touch screen though… I had forgotten to address it thus far. Maybe the final release will have fixed the bugginess of the Connect Panel 😛

did you just said final release, just hearing that make me happier 🙂
thanks for the 2nd demo :D,

Please stop this and give the project to someone with a functioning brain. Also, kill yourself.

How far is the translation in this demo or what parts are translated?
February 11, 2013 at 4:24 pm | Permalink
Still vote for a progress boob instead, but I approve of the reversed progress bar.
Also, methinks Ex couldn’t find the patch and is a sour puss.
February 11, 2013 at 11:13 pm | Permalink
Let’s Ex have the project and we will have the patch by tomorrow.
I just don’t understand why someone told people to die just because he/she wrote something on his blog…..

Thanks for the demo! Nice work!

So is the blue bar how much progress is actually done, or the white? You confuse me.
February 20, 2013 at 10:36 am | Permalink
It’s funny how you call him Hisui and still you troll us with the weird ass localized name in the demo. xD
February 20, 2013 at 11:07 am | Permalink
I prefer their Japanese names. I don’t think it’s a good idea to translate someone’s name to other language.
Person’s/town’s/ougi’s names are better untouched since there is no dubbing in this patch.
Well, this is your patch, if I can understand their dialogues, it’s good enough for me.
Ganbare!!

The demo certainly showcases the work you are doing, though personally. I am at a loss and unable to enjoy it. I do not know the characters, the story, the builds, or anything for that matter. I will just have to wait till the full translation is complete. Even still, progress is always a good thing. Thank you for the demo.

You just have to examine the post PERIOD!! That was brilliant!!
February 21, 2013 at 6:32 am | Permalink
When girls are on their period, they’re usually very irritable and aren’t satisfied with some of the things you do for them. So the next time your girlfriend is on her period, just read her…you’ll figure out what you need to do. Pay attention and don’t be lazy. For those of you looking for the patch…I suggest you take my advice “to heart” since you’re pretty irritated and dissatisfied. Get it? T.O. Hearts lolol.

Oh, well played. I had read it a few times over wondering if I was being trolled or not.
and I’ll go play the demo later, too lazy to pull out my flashcard and fiddle with a microSD card in the dark

Lets just be nice and tell where it is. If you read carefully the post says you may want to inspect the ______ in one of the sentences. Click on the ______ and you got a patch hurray.
March 6, 2013 at 5:32 pm | Permalink
Managed to find the link. Very clever place to put it!
March 6, 2013 at 6:06 pm | Permalink
This is a stupid place to put your link.
Hints in previous comments ? didn’t help.
And as the previous hints made me lose time instead of just reading carefully (and you just need to read normally), I’m so mad that I’m giving also an hint that can help or make you more confused.
Hint : alt+46

So, the 2nd Demo brings us to the Volcano Dungeon, home of “Boss 19: Volgageors”. You know what that means? That we will expect the completion of this game’s fan translation before the end of 2014. However, it’s possible that it’s already fully translated but that it still (heavily) needs tweaking and hacking and such.
Anyway, I have no doubt Kajitani will make us happy when this fan translation’s completion goes online… after some massive trolling, of course 😉
