Tactics Ogre ~ Let Us Cling Together

Well, as I'm sure most people have realized by now, the Tactics Ogre patch translates the game into Al Bhed and not English. Happy April Fool's Day, everyone! Consider this my way of getting back at all the are-we-there-yet whiners I've had to deal with over the years. If I truly intended to delay the patch two weeks for every person who asked when it'd be done, well, you'd probably be getting it on Christmas instead.

What's no joke, however, is the very real amount work that went into this. The actual translation patch - which will be coming in a few days, don't worry - will be nearly identical to the one available now. The Al Bhed version contains the full English text, sort of - I just used a different table file to insert it into the rom. In fact, if I didn't have to get up for my crazy weekend work schedule in the morning, I'd probably get things ready to go right now! But them's the breaks, and a few more days won't kill you. And for those of you who are curious, yes, the Al Bhed version of the patch will be moved to the Tactics Ogre page's "Extras" subsection, where it will be preserved for all who care to try it.

See you in a few days!
