To give a brief rundown of our process: almost every translated line in the game was manually typeset using line breaks, which then had to be checked whether it fit inside the game.Įverything tech-related had to be reverse-engineered and then tested to see what goes where a custom tool was created by JamRules to export and import the text and other media. The original PSPo2 had a lot of content to begin with, and Infinity added another large amount to it, resulting in thousands of different weapons and other items-this is a large game by any measure.Īs such, this was not a quick "insert text and done" project (if only it were that easy!) While this game does not have a particularly long story mode, it does have a ton of text in item descriptions, side-events, tutorials, etc. There is also a quiz type mission which included questions that were impossible to solve without guessing for an English-speaking audience-those have been reworked to be solvable. A new naming system was created using terms that thematically made sense and were also typesetting-friendly, while retaining access to the quest system linked to completing missions of this type. We realized that there was no way to make that fit in English, so we redid the whole system from the ground up.

The aforementioned Infinity Mission feature uses a naming system based on a place and a name in Japanese. This also goes for the Episode 1 content, which has the Japanese dub with subtitles added to them. The movies that appear in the game have English subtitles specially made and timed for them. Elements such as window/text box sizes, window placement, text alignment and positioning inside menus, interactive menus, programmed messages, and more have been extensively modified to provide a (hopefully) seamless experience.Ĭustom images have been made for material that was in Japanese, such as title cards, tutorial images, icons, etc. Numerous parts of the interface had to be adjusted in order to fit the English text because Japanese as a language tends to be much more compact than the former, and in some cases even things as short as a handful of characters simply didn't fit as the Japanese was even shorter. Thanks to the increased window size modification, very few concessions had to be made in the translation accuracy, which is something that often plagues such endeavors.Ĭare has been taken to keep the translation as accurate and close to the original as possible, with few things being outright changed-this was possible due to no restrictions such as age ratings or company pressure. The game is fully localized to English-this means any and all text that can be found in the game is translated. Our patch brings the following to the table: You can now invite your own characters as AI partners, or those of friends who have shared a snapshot of their character with you. Some weaker skills have been improved, and vice versa-two-handed swords are much faster in Infinity for example, which made them more popular this time around. You can now "lock" items to prevent accidentally selling them, and among other things, storage space has been doubled from 1000 to 2000 items. A Rebirth system which allows you to reset your level to 1 while keeping some of your stats. New, and more powerful loot and more ways to improve weapons. This includes a new mission type called Infinity Mission which has semi-randomly generated maps and the player can customize their stats to a degree. More (difficult) missions, areas, new bosses, skills, abilities, and more. A new race you can play as with its own special power. A whole new story mode, and the original story is also included.

Infinity is an upgraded version of PSPo2 which was never localized to the west-unfortunate for fans of the series, since it's undoubtedly one of the best entries in the PSO/PSU/PSPo lineup.
