Hacking Translation The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero Evolution English patch

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this project still.

In case any of you guys involved in its making are reading this: you're awesome, and thank you.

@Shenrai
sorry for tagging you, but I just want to ask
with the recent drama of ZF takedown by NISA, you will still release the patch for Zero and Ao, right?

That is currently not an issue but its always possible.

The project is still a thing... Progress is just currently slow.

Is the slow progress because of the lack of a Japanese translator or is it a technical issue?

I also have a question about the jankyness of saving in Zero no Kiseki. I'm not sure if this is a game thing or a patch thing or my individual console, but the save menu is in japanese(unlike Sky games patched), it uses X as confirm(really messes with my head since the game uses the Japanese layout instead) and the amount of slots is significantly lower than the Sky games. There is also some weird lag whenever I save/load the game.

More on the technical side.

More on the technical side.

I hate to push but would there be less technical issues in simply importing the Azure Geofront translation so we had a full set of translated games (then go back to finalizing Zero)? Seems like the hold up at the moment is in a few optional vita-only side-quests while we still have a whole game that only has a machine translation.

Patience is a virtue...

I, for one, absolutely support getting this done right, Vita quests included, rather than getting it out the door.

Not that I wouldn't jump on it immediately once it's released, but y'know, I can handle some delays after this long a wait.

Personally I would also prefer to have Ao no Kiseki Evo in the same state as Zero Evo is now (which is perfectly fine to me, I don't need the extra side quests) instead of seeing Zero to be perfected first.

Reason being: NISA could always decide to C&D the project. And then we wouldn't even have a slightly imperfect Ao Evo. In other words: better Ao Evo in the same imperfect but perfectly playable state than no Ao Evo in English at all. It's not a question of patience, but in regards to the looming danger of NISA's lawyers.

The thing is... the Vita is quite dead as a platform, and lawyer time costs money. Much lower profile than the Switch, which could very well be worth scorching some fandom/PR earth to a bunch of suits.

The thing is, legal departments do not coordinate with the PR departments... otherwise Nintendo (one of the more egregious examples) wouldn't be such a garbage company!

That's true - PR usually plays catch-up. But this still isn't eating into their revenue.

Fan translations NEVER do... and legal departments never cared about that fact... they sue... that's what they do!

What I'm saying is that a dead platform from a decade ago is a very different case than a current-gen all-time bestseller, for instance.

I get that and I agree with you... legal departments however do not!

There are Pokemon ROM hacks (so original content, not just the main game) from the GBA that were forced to be taken down like a month ago. The Vita is much more recent than that. There is no rhyme or reason for what these companies attack and the only way to save projects is to get them to the public before they strike.

Thanks for your work. It's great that the Trails series has fans who make it possible to play the evolution version.

I can't find information about new quests. How many are there?
Does the evo version have new arts(cg) like the Sky evo?

There are an additional five sidequests for Zero.
None that is essential to the story, just add a bit of character improvement, I guess
It has a new CG Scene just like Sky Evo.

Im cant save my game. Anyone with the same problem?

There is a large technical issue that is preventing the release of Azure, unrelated to Zero. Unlikely to see any releases until that is fixed, unfortunately.
