I am currently going through all maps again as you know, but I've also decided to log the worst of the mistakes. I'll pop them up here at the end. Should take 2 or 3 days to finish this
Well, that's always going to be there... you can always play the original game. Same with the old borders, the old nostalgic feel of the menu, old lego models... I mean all of it is still there if you want to play it that way. So nothing is lost, but much is gained.
They come 500 years later, he's talking about the future. He obviously believes Nanaki will find more of his race. Actually, thinking about it, 500 years is too great a number in a way. He is around 15 or 16 by his tribe's standard when he is 48. That would mean 500 years later he is 167 by human standard. Oh well. Maybe humans err... live longer on Gaia haha
I don't usually nitpick that sort of thing with a plot... but there it is.

Around 150,000 words. This is comparable to The Two Towers, and more than Return of the King.
It seems fitting to show you where the project began its life...

And here we are years later, finally it has been realised. The following things now need to happen for the Reunion release:
1. touphscript recoded and fixed, with additional changes made. [Luksy has already started on this]
2. Check through all 676 text maps. Fix any grammar errors, spelling errors, and awkward dialogue. This will then be the first draft.
3. Send the remaining Cait Sith parts, and other Scottish parts to Prince Lex to update.
4. Finish Submarine minigame
5. Finish updates to Menu Overhaul
After that I can release it. The translation will still not be finalised at this point. It still requires Luksy to go through 676 maps and see if he is happy, Covarr (and perhaps others) to do the same, me to go through entire game making corrections, and if possible, another fluent Japanese speaker to go through all maps. After this is done, I will consider it completed. Although other changes could always be made after this point should people find them.
Finding another Japanese speaker might be rough. I only know a few, but they'd want to be paid, even for a proofreading job (especially given the scope of this). None of them are VII fans to my knowledge, either, so no luck there. XD It'll probably be easier than finding a translator turned out to be, though! Good luck!“Illusionary crime against Sephiroth…”
a. run through 700+ maps and making changes
b. run through entire game and make changes
c. get luksy to run through all maps and see if he is happy
d. maybe get SOMEONE else out there to look through and see if they are happy
e. Get covarr to proof chec
I have officially ended any support for 2012 version. It's just a mess. kranmer has made a good converter so you can change the game into the 1998 version, which has everything meaningful that 2012 does and more.
Hopefully I won't... it's just a real nightmare though. Whenever I add an item to the script text it means I have to create 2. one for the translation version and one for without. So it's a duplication of effort, and then if theres a problem with one of the texts, I have to edit 2.
This is the reason I don't support the other hardcore mods around here with translation option... because then it would be even more work. It's also why Cait option is an add on to translation and not a separate. There are numerous mods around here... it might be sensible in time for people to simply install full setups and be able to select them, rather than endlessly fighting with various changes.
For now you can install any of the mods separately. If it becomes hassle for me, it will end up being certain ones merged *for example weapon + translation. For now it is separate.
The Iscar mod will very likely be part of the translation project as an optional add on.
