The goal for this project was to restore the features from the Japan version without removing the embelishments from the English version. This project started when I saw how many changes to the US version was made. I took some liberties with lines that to change them to their PC counterparts or combined the Japanese version i.e Ye Olde Docks: No Entry Some other lines have been left alone.

The goal for this project was to restore the features from the Japan version without removing the embelishments from the English version.
This project started when I saw how many changes to the US version was made.

I took some liberties with lines that to change them to their PC counterparts or combined the Japanese version i.e Ye Olde Docks: No Entry
Some other lines have been left alone.

How the game was programming is mixed to me; on one hand, everything was coded in an efficienty. On the other hand, text pointers have to be coded in manually.
There were also times where subroutines could have been used to save space.

Map names had to be shortened because they are in the map header and cannot be changed without reprogramming everything.


Patches are available in IPS and Xdelta.

This has been tested on FCEUX and Bizhawk. 

Changes:
The intro is translated
The title screen is now like the Japanese version
The Go Ahead Babies is restored
The portraits in Sorpigal are restored
Character names are decapitialized
Resting now fades in the screen in and out
The animation for killing an enemy with
Maps (Which were only palette changes) are restored
Enemies stats(Icons were only affected) back to their original state
The Skeleton and the Sprite sprites are restored
The bats and snakes are restored to one creature
Various story elements are restored
Map names now reflect the original
The Locust Plague bug is fixed
Input screens now have lower case letters
Input screens now have variable input sizes. Passwords are case sensitive, so make sure they are all caps.
Several instances of censorship have been restored

The battle turns bug that I intended to fix is still in, unfortunately.
There's also another bug involving shops items having their name cut off.
There may also be some unfinished bits that I ment to do, but the game can be completed.


Quickstart:
Press either New Game or Continue to start the game. Enter your character's name. Turn to behind you and enter the inn.
Gather the other members. Leave the inn. Equip your characters move north 3, east. You should get in to a battle. If you
win, head back into the inn. Repeat until level 2.
