Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're planning to release the patch in the same time as the website, right? But is it possible for the patch to be released even if the site isn't finished yet?

If the patch is done before the website, it'll be released, yes. But for Zwei 2 the artwork still needs to be edited.

I'm leaving to go on vacation for a couple of weeks in Japan soon and during my downtime when we are not doing anything, I'm planning on picking up the graphics town/area map names that I have on my end that still need editing. There's still plenty more where that came from, but I'm hoping to get the ones I started finished at least. cdgrif, if you are interested, I'm sure MP83 and I could use the extra help. This however is really less about painting and more about trying to edit the original Japanese graphics into English without losing much quality and then re-saving/exporting them into bitmap 24 bit images with transparency/alpha settings saved with the image so that they display nicely in the game. It's taken incredibly long so far because there was a great deal of trial and error that needed to be done in order to match the new graphics as close as possible with the original Japanese. -Thomas

I'm personally having the most troubles with transparency/alpha settings. Once I've got that under control, I should have plenty of stuff to send to Tancients within a month. Miikka, Do you still have that photoshop alpha/transparency guide I wrote awhile back. If something doesn't make sense, I'd be happy to go over it with you sometime soon. -Thomas

when we can download the English translation? When the artwork is done and the patch has been packaged and finalized.

I'm going to order Zwei 2 from play-asia.com. But there's a little problem. There are 3 versions: Zwei2, Zwei2 (limited edition), and Zwei2 Plus in Chinese. The one in Chinese is the cheapest of all while the limited edition is the most expensive. So what should I choose?

The fan translation patches for things usually don't work for Chinese releases just the Japanese ones.
That's from the FAQ in the first post. It may be outdated and not apply anymore though.

It's still correct. Providing a patch for the Chinese version is a lower priority and there is currently no guarantee that we'll be doing a patch for it.

It's kinda sad when the cheaper Plus version is in Chinese. I think I'll stick with the original version then. BTW, Isn't it strange when the price for the Plus version in Falcom's website is about 6000 yen(approx $75). That's way too expensive.

Thus why you watch for weekly specials and get it for 3000-3600 yen. 6000 yen is the original price for the game.

Yeah, I got 2+, the complete guide, a Ys complete guide and I think an OST for 3800 or something ages ago

BTW, is there anything different in the Limited version?

Post by tancients on Feb 25, 2012 4:17:45 GMT -5
Program-wise, there is only differences between the plus and non-plus versions.

The domain and hosting service for the zwei domain will be expiring sometime this year. Won't be renewing it due to lack of funds. This means a fair bit of broken links and images, so save them now.

uh, but how to save them? (I meant when accessing to the site, I cannot do anything but watch)
