Voiced lines in this game are basically completely unsubtitled, so this undub is mostly for intermediate level weebs. The opening song has been trimmed at the beginning to better sync with the NA/EU opening’s timings/visuals; whilst the JP ending song is shorter than the one used in the localised versions of the game, so there’ll be a bit of silence at the end of the credits roll.
The European undub has no data shifted or appended, making it compatible with other hacks (European Font Enhancement is highly recommended). The North American undub appends 354 kB of data to the end of the ROM, which might make it incompatible with some hacks.
To-do for v1.2a:
– Seamlessly extend the end credits song by 25-30 seconds
– Fix the infamous “Kangaroo/Ragnarok” translation goof
