Topic: Castlevania: Symphony of the night HACKED! I bet you thought I had quit? ;)

[Claimh Solais]

I thought it was "a cesspit of hatred and lies" yeah I'm nitpicking.

DRAC: "Belmont. Son of Belmont. I've been waiting for you."
RICHTER: "Dracula. Die now and leave this world, you'll never belong here!"
DRAC: "Oh? But this world invited me. Your own kind called me forth with praise and tribute."
RICHTER: "Tribute? You're a thief. You steal men's souls, their freedom."
DRAC: "Freedom is always sacrificed to faith, good hunter. Or are you truly here by choice?"
RICHTER: "All I'm here for is you. To hell with your heresy! You're nothing but a blight on mankind!"
DRAC: "Ha. Mankind. A cesspit of hatred and lies. Fight for them, then, and die for their sins!"

Yeah, I memorized the whole thing. So?

Ctulhu and Malachi's name will definitely be switched (I have no idea why they insist on keeping them switched up honestly).

Crissaegrim will NOT be renamed to Valmanway or anything else.

As for any other name change debates please take them out of my sexy thread. You guys are bringing down it's rating on the coolness scale WAAAAY too fast with this little debate.

But the use of "Val Manwe" might throw off other players.

Not the ones who played my retranslation, which I'm guessing it wasn't really many people.

I didn't even know your translation was released. o.o

-----------------------------
Dude, there is a lot of dialog that wasn't even used in the game. There's like, 90 people saying the word "Konami", and a ton of voice clips I've never heard before. Do you need all this excess stuff? I'm pretty much almost done otherwise, other than a some clips I don't remember.

And apparently there were two other endings. There's the normal 5th, with Maria being turned into a demon, and an ending with Richter and Alucard alone.

[Mikepjr]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Esco say he's including both English audio tracks?

I had no idea what he said he planned to do, i think i missed that, i just noticed someone talking about the voice work and such and i felt like adding my 2 cents, i actually like the PS1 voice work lol

Actually, it would be cool if he planed to redo the voice work, i would LOVE to be Dracula!

Yes I need them all checked for sure. However, if you do not understand Japanese then there is no point in you doing so. In that case, you should just find the ones that are currently used in game and I will have to ask someone else to do the rest of the extra ones. 

[Inccubus]

The translation forum over at ROMhacking.net has a ton of folks that are fluent in Japanese that can help. They're always eager to to lend a hand too.

[Claimh Solais]

I got a bud that understands Japanese. I already emailed the ones I don't understand to him. I understand Japanese to an extent, but I'm not fluent like he is.

Any word about the PM I sent ya, Esco?

[Koutei]

Ctulhu is Devil.
Malachi is Evil.

In Japanese version.

[Pemburu Vampir]

Devil and Evil, sounds so... Generic. I prefer Ctulhu and Malachi.

[Esco]

Heads up my peoples: the demo richter progress thread has been updated several times. Feel free to check it out.

[KaZudra]

Nice progress on the game, I like the whole PS2 Lock-in fights, gives the game more flavor and less avoiding the hard stuff in the game.
Questions,
 
Will you be adding any new Cloaks in the game? Any that transition color like the Raindow cloak and twilight cape?

Have you considered removing the useless Shield,Fire,ect. potions?

Will you use the Harmony of Despair or simular portrait for Richter so the prologue won't seem so out of place?

last one, will Maria still have her Saturn button combination Spells?

Maybe.

Have you considered removing the useless Shield,Fire,ect. potions?

........ you must not have been reading my updates for the last 3 years or so.

Will you use the Harmony of Despair or simular portrait for Richter so the prologue won't seem so out of place?

Not sure

last one, will Maria still have her Saturn button combination Spells?

BWA HA HAAAAAA!!!!


............. but seriously, she will have a few spells. But they will be WAY different.

[Pemburu Vampir]

Will you use the Harmony of Despair or simular portrait for Richter so the prologue won't seem so out of place?

Not sure

The HoDespair artwork of Richter was drawn by Ayami Kojima. So, why not? It would match his RoB outfit.

[Koutei]

This?
