 Soul Blazer Re Translation
 Version 1- November 11th, 2017
 Version 1.1-February 19th, 2018
 Created by Steppolo Steppi

 Information
=================================================================================================

  This is a patch that aims to completely retranslate all text inside Soul Blazer. All the text content in the game has been
  modified and almost all dialogues have been re written to make them understandable and remove any censorship that was
  present. Many Items names have been overridden and I am sure somebody might not like that, but in the creation of the new names
  I tried to keep them in theme with the Japanese official artwork and the item effect in game.  Example red-hot items is been changed to Ignis    
  Relics, which in my opinion is far better that red-hot chilli peppers bullshit...
  No offense against the band, I like them too :)

 Questions
=================================================================================================

 Q. "Why did you make this patch?"

 A. Well after playing the game I realized that half of the times I had 
difficulties to understand what was going on, since the dialogue was so freaking awkward and crammed with censorship.
After stumbling upon Terraearth forum and seeing that all the attempts to give this game justice failed, many users were willing to do a retranslations
but obviously such things take long time, and sadly no one had much spare time to dedicate to translation work.
When I noticed Shiva Indis posts regarding the Japanese differences I decided to try my hand at fixing all the mess done by the original translator.
Damn you Robert L. Jerauld!


 Q. "Is there any reason to play this over the US release?"

 A. Jesus... The game is extremely good, but because of the bullshit made up non sense no one really 
was able to enjoy it to the fullest, therefor you should play with this patch applied, trust me!
And second of all, take a look at the interview done to Robert L. Jerauld regarding the way 
he translated this game, and sadly many others...
http://gaming.moe/?p=331
Read it throughly and you will understand why the translation was so fucked up to begin with...
The dude was simply full of shit from the get go.
Sorry but since this is the game that got me into SFC I have a very soft spot for it, and I just dispise the way it was treated by the 
original translator.


=================================================================================================
 Bugs
=================================================================================================

 Although it's not technically a bug, I took a more artistic route in writing the names of spells and equipment. I was not able to acquire a 
Japanese straight forward translation for them. Every name is based upon their original Japanese artwork from the instruction manual, and 
also upon their in-game effect. That said I used mostly latin/greek mythological references for the names. I will in the future, once I can get
 the official Japanese names from the booklet translated, insert them.


=================================================================================================
 Changes made 
=================================================================================================

List of the most significant changes I made that I can remember of from the top of my mind.
Thanks to Shiva Indis for his hard work writing the translation notes from the offcial Japanese script.
If you wanna know all the changes made, just apply the patch and dig right in!
