Whattup with the type-0 actually? In my opinion it seems like the most well written recent FF on a handheld right now. We need to get the English translation someday already... What I'm saying is that we need to be able to understand those wounded chocobos  :evil:

You do know that 4chan links are non-permanent, right?

Too bad... it was saying about localization of type-0 and Agito international release.

..Though, wouldn't it have been easier just to link to the news articles originally?

Um, last time I checked, SE officially said Final Fantasy Versus XIII was now Final Fantasy XV...

Yes. They also said that after March, when the post mentioning Versus XIII at the beginning of the thread was made.

I could ask Project Rainfall to get involved, if you want me to.

Final Fantasy Type-0 (PSP) – English Translation

I was about to post my Twitch stream on YT and what a surprise:

"Your video may include clips that are owned by a third party.

To watch the matched clips please play the video on the right. The video will play from the point where the matched content was identified.
Your video is blocked globally.
Here are the details:

    Audiovisual content administered by: 6:07
    Square Enix Co., Ltd. "

lol It just ends up being funnier and funnier every time.

Also I can only run it through my psp and though I own a 1080p upscaler I can only watch a quarter of a window in the center of my 32'' LCD screen. Tried the latest jpcsp emulator build but didn't work.

I noticed you had some slowdown. What are your PC's specs?

Oh boy, that CPU ain't helpin'. Anything at <3GHz isn't gonna be amazing for PS2 or PSP emulation.

Well jpcsp was doing fine for my system but doesn't run the type-0 translation hack unfortunately...  :|

I'm also using 1080 res so I guess it will run better in 720. I'm not that demanding of a player for an emulation game though and feel lucky to be able to play even in that resolution with those cool features.

Also super excited I can finally understand what I'm doing while playing and be able to play on my psp as well.

As someone who doesn't own nor intends to own a PS4/XBOne, I prefer the fan-made translation (which I've been looking forward to for a couple of months), and I really enjoy the game.

    Final Fantasy Type-0 (PSP) – English Translation
    And Square-Enix was like "fuck you".

    Edit: I've been doing some reading, both on Sky's comments section, and in NeoGAF, and a few disturbing things have popped up:

    • "Guys, let me clarify that what Sky received is not a C&D letter. It's something else." I don't have any solid evidence this guy isn't talking out his ass, but he does seem to have solid connections to this project. It sounds like there is/will be a lawsuit.
    • This project was definitely distributed alongside copyrighted data. The filesize was huge, and it's likely that the "patch" included a large portion of the game itself.
    • Remember how it was released right before E3, a mere two days before Square-Enix announced their own localization? This translation was originally announced for an August release, not June. It's incredibly likely that the team was tipped off about the E3 announcement and rushed out what they had ASAP.
    • Kotaku's Jason Schreier (yeah, I know Kotaku isn't the greatest source) had this to say back in March: "I've heard rumblings that Square Enix has a near-finished English script of the game lying around, but that for whatever reason, localization plans were cancelled." This doesn't mean a tremendous amount on its own, but combined with the fan-translation team's apparent advance knowledge of an announcement, it's definite that they had some sort of inside contact, and unfortunately possible that the translation was stolen from S-E themselves. This is just conjecture, but it really wouldn't surprise me.


    Now, I really hope that there hasn't been any espionage or theft surrounding this project. It would break my heart to know that members of the Final Fantasy community would do that. But most of all, I want to take use this as a chance to remind everyone just how important it is not to distribute copyrighted Square-Enix materials. What we do here at qhimm.com is already legally very gray area, and I'm absolutely positive that our strict stances on piracy and distribution of ripped models has been central to this website's continued existence.

    Regardless of whether this translation was completed with stolen text, or whether the team had inside info, there is zero doubt that the patch included copyrighted data. I don't want anybody here to repeat that mistake, so please make sure your releases don't contain complete LGP files, copyrighted models, or any other content that you didn't create yourself.[/list]

    Does anyone know the specifics of the patch? It's not just a translation, he merged the two discs together and rewrote the package format the game uses. I'm not sure how true this is, but at least one of them was making money off it.

    It's more likely an issue that he reverse engineered the whole game and made his own formats, and made money off it. Not to mention that the patch merges the two discs, it contains the data for the entire game. Did nobody wonder why it was like 2gb?

    There's a lot more I could say on the matter, but I won't.
