Phantasy Star Generation 2: English Translation

[xrick]

Do Seiji Kishimoto or Akikazu Mizuno have a blog, twitter, anything like that?


EDIT: After remembering of PSU Shadow of the Arkguard... I no longer know for sure who the heck made the designs for the Generation games...

If anyone is interested in testing this out for PS3 please email me at Runehasa@gmail.com. I have a PKG created from the beta provided to me. Preferably looking for someone to do a play through that can report back if there are any glitches.

Seiji Kishimoto is listed in PSg:1 as simply "Character Design", whereas such a title is no longer present on PSg:2, only the "Package & Main Character Design", which is Akikazu's.

Anime News Network credits him for "Character Design/Animation Director" in PSg:1: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=5626

So it seems the PSGEN 1 text file credits have errors in it.

Please do not distribute old betas, I'm pretty sure Kyence wouldn't like that (and it's pretty useless to distribute a release with bugs), as she asked to not distribute private betas.

It's also pretty useless to test the game on PS3 because if it would have a bug somewhere, it would come from the emulator and not from the game, so it wouldnt be able to be fixed anyway. And we already know how to make it work on a PS3 because, as you can see, the french version also have a PS3 release.

Better wait for the official beta to be released before doing such things.

Thanks.

My intention for the beta PKG was to provide additional users to try the game out; if the same glitch comes across a modded console and a PC emulation, than that would help confirm the bug is not due to the specific emulation itself. Also, there was a great deal of interest in having this playable on a PS3. I know that the French translation held off on the PS3 PKG until after the first version was released.
Sorry if I caused any undue stress

Oh, if it's your decision then no problem

Just thought it was done on his own without your consent, and with an old build of the beta, as you didn't talked about the PS3 version in the e-mails so it was a bit weird.

But if you plan to release a PS3 version at the same time, I'm not sure just giving it through pm is the best choice, better just release it on the download page of the website.

[Runehasa]

I emailed Keyence about this. I provided a link in that email to the PKG I had created and it is currently running on the PS3 without any difficulties. Due to time constraints I haven't truly been able to start a play through on it yet. I will leave it up to Keyence to provide my PKG out to anyone though for a play through and testing. I can create the PKG as many times as needed though for future revisions on the beta and the final release. Bottom line so far so good and huge thumbs up to Keyence for the amazing work on this!

[Blaw-]

Okay.

It's only a matter of days until the release of the public beta patch anyway, as Missagh said it would be definitively during this week.

This was a pleasant surprise to come home to. I can't wait to fully sit down and experience this game....though now I want to finish PSG:1 so i can save Nei in G:2. Great job so far.

IDK if this is where we post bugs or not, but i have come across a weird bug with the emulation of PS2. IDK if its from the emulator or what, but the sound seems to be out of sync. I know its probably not an important thing considering that many of us probably have multiple copies of PS2 (I have three) but, i figured why not. Might as well share it.

[Land]

it's available?! -downloads the heck out of it- ....well just once. but with enthusiasm!

Edit @paladin, did you make have to have audio sync in your sound settings enabled?

Definitively an emulation bug so won't be able to do anything about that. I personally played the whole game on PCSX 1.0.0 without such problem (if it can help).
