Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix Translation Patch (In progress)

Let me quote this because ViriginKLM apparently said that the game really is 720p.

So that's even worse. Imagine that's only 1.5x native resolution (no pun intended)

 

ok, reading everyone's posts about starting a new thread. i guess we can hold off on that until you guys have someone a little more substantial to release. alright, we can do this whenever you guys are ready. say when :)

 

What do EVM files do exactly? Maybe they hold the timings?

 

No game is the exact res. Either way it still looks way better and thats all that matters.

 

Oh and a note to Trilix I am look at some 1.5 HD videos and it seems like SE NA also didn't feel like fixing some of the different timings in final mix lol.

So they put in three lines of text haha. They copied you

 

Huh??? What part? I didn't notice anything.

 

Parts like this




yeah...

For the other worlds the timing in the lines have been the same as the original NA version, but for the worlds that have the extra Final Mix stuff, I guess they didn't bother to fix those hard coded timings.[DOUBLEPOST=1379298194][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh and this game is definitely using the DDD models (not just the textures), at least for the main characters excluding Donald, Goofy, and Mickey. After reviewing the models side by side at least Square didn't lie on that part. Makes me all the more want those HD files since those DDD models are in mlds form rather than the PMO we have from BBSFM. Save the trouble for the porting

 

You don't want the actual model from he handhelds as those have lower polygon counts.

 

The polygonal count looks the same to me. Although I never put both in 3DS max and checked it out, but I thought it was the same.

 

After playing through the game, I can confirm that models were changed for -

Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald, Goofy, Squall, Yuffie, Aeris, Cloud, Sephiroth, Cid, Tidus, Wakka, Selphie, Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Maleficent, Ansem, Beast, Dark Riku, Fairy Godmother, Dumbo, Bambi, Simba, Alice, Queen of Hearts, both card soldiers, White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, Doorknob, Hades, Ice Titan, Aladdin, Jasmine?, Jiminy Cricket, Ariel, King Triton, Flounder, Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy, Mr. Smee, and the entire Winnie the Pooh cast.

It's quite possible I missed some, because of small details, but these characters have definitely had their models or textures updated. I compared the original journal side by side with the 1.5 journal.

Also, it seems the localization team was just copy pasting from the original, because Goofy's MP gift ability says Cost: 1 MP, even though it actually costs 2 MP in final mix. Several Olympus Tournaments specify the old heartless as well. (Stealth Snake instead of Sneak Army, ect.) They also left the 'Finis' typo in. The new scenes have wording that would sound kind of awkward if they had voice acting. (Riku refers to the Dark Realm as the 'After World.') Although I love the way the new Ansem Reports are translated, and the Xemnas fight sounds nice too. :P

ALSO, I was able to obtain a 1.5 mdls file, but the textures and voice clips aren't in the same format, so it wouldn't be a direct copy/paste. :(

Over all though I'm having a really great time with this remaster, and would definitely recommend it to any fan of the series.

On an unrelated note Xemnas FINALLY has an English translation for his title! :)

 

Well, this means we can do better then the official. ^^ (Also, I'll probably have the Olympus typos like them. I can fix mine at least :P)

As for the MDLs, if we can convert it, it's all good. :P

 

Look at the end of soras sleeve there should be 5 corners

 

hey jaden here is the video u wanted.. i think is it

 

The guys at Xentax already have the extraction script to put in QuickBMS. It's the re-ppacking that we would need to do.
textures are in GTF format which can be converted with gtf2dss application. Didn't know the sound effects were repackaged into a different file. What I really want is the 1.5 ARDs/EVM files and the EVT font. Direct copy/paste (maybe?) baby!

They must have replaced the old models with DDD/BBS/RE:COM models. Not too bad IMO, but they needed to not zoom in on the cutscenes because the default faces does make it look ugly. So forget what I said about trying to copy those guys. I rather take the real 16x9 with model glitches than that ugly look.

Also replacing the Heartless models with their modern KH2/BBS/RE:COM models wouldn't be bad either.

 

Amazing to see a dedicated team working on a english patch even when 1.5 is already released. Been viewing your guys progress the past week and finally signed up. Best of luck to you on the project and can't wait for the patch to be finished In the future as I would love to use It on pcsx2. I doubt theirs anything that I could help with besides sitting and watching but If you have anything that you don't have time to do like testing In pcsx2 or something let me know.

 

I haven't checked if heartless models have been updated. I'll check that soon.
The thing about the cropped cut scenes is they look exactly the same as the original scenes, just without black bars.
I would understand if you guys didn't like the cropping if we were loosing the tops and bottoms of the scenes, cutting off heads or something.
I can definitely see why they did this, because text bubble cut scenes aren't cropped, and in some scenes characters just pop into existence on the side of the screen, because that would have been off screen in the original. If they didn't 'crop' the cutscenes there would be more glitches like that.

 

yeah. i think im liking the cropped black bars better,

 

Do u know Japanese ?

 

I do too, but those default faces man...

 

WHO CARES?! Jeez! It was a PS2 game and then "remastered". If it was a remake then that would be a different story. Even if they did it would require crap load of animation because they stand still most of the time with the sprite faces so it wold look totally weird with a 3D faces and them standing still.
