A big thank you to Rune for supplying the US Shining the Holy Ark game script. I’ve worked on it most of today and have put it into the SFC layout with character portraits etc. It’s now available here at SFC, or if you want a text-only version, check it out at Rune’s Shining the Holy Ark site.
Another thank you goes to karachiking for finishing putting the last chapter and epilogue of Shining Force III Scenario 1 into the SFC layout. Those are online now too 🙂 I intend to split the Scenario 1 script into more managable sections shortly.
In addition to working on adding the Scenario 2 script (thanks to karachiking and Jameth for their help with this), I’ll be adding the European version script for Shining the Holy Ark shortly too – thanks to Silender for supplying this. Note that the sections may be divided differently than Rune’s, but it will still be great to be able to compare the scripts for differences. Oh, and at some point I’ll add the Final Conflict translated script to SFC, though that’s not urgent as it’s already on my Final Conflict site.
If anyone out there has or is able to type up the English scripts for the following games, it would be most appreciated… full credit will of course be given!
- Shining in the Darkness
- Shining Force
- Shining Wisdom
I already have the Shining Force II script (thanks Lineage!) and will continue work on adding it as soon as I can.
When the Scenario 2 Chapter 5 script goes online you may notice that the first section (and perhaps others) hasn’t been fully translated, and make little sense. It would be great if someone out there who’s fluent in reading Japanese and has some spare time to help out could drop me a line to discuss a possible re-translation of this section. It would also be great if someone could translate the (minimal) text in Shining Soul, though this isn’t urgent, it’s not certain yet that the game will see an English release.
Right, now I’ve got to go and prepare for tomorrow’s SFC update, after which, if I have time, I’ll try to get some more of the Scenario 2 script online. Watch this space!
