----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phantasy Star III's official localization is largely unfaithful at all to the Japanese version. I
tend to stick to the retranslation as a result, but as with the other games in this series, I prefer
the names used internationally. Thus, I decided to make this patch for myself and release it for
whomever felt the same.

This archive contains 4 patches.

1. PSIII_ClassicNames_v12-CN3.ips
    After you have patched your unmodified PSIII ROM with Rebecca et al's retranslation, apply this
    to receive the base features of PSIII Classic-style Names.


When the is accomplished, choose as many of these as you'd like, in any combination.
 

2. PSIII-CN_NormalBattleThemes.ips
    Restore the tracks Battle (Begin), Battle (Winning), and Battle (Losing), which PSIII Classic-
    style Names removes as the author finds them hard to listen to.

3. PSIII-CN_RewardsDoubler.ips
    Every enemy will give double the experience and meseta rewards after battle.

4. PS3T-ParallaxPatch.ips (lory1990)
    In the Japanese release of PSIII, both the top and bottom of the battlefields scrolled at all
    times. The international release made it so only outdoor sky scrolls. This patch restores the
    Japanese behavior.

Changelog
=========
v1.2-CN3 (Feb 1 2024)

TEXT:

- Corrected some dialogue from the android residents of Hazatak, who speak in all caps, and still
  called Liec "RIIK" and Techna "FLOTRAAN."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

v1.2-CN2 Patch / v1.2-CN2a Readme (Jan 25 2024)

OTHER:

- There have been no patch changes this update.

  Bundled Equipment and Technique List appendices, as in my PSII and IV mods. This is because the
  freshly retranslated and abbreviated item names make it extremely difficult to navigate a
  walkthrough for the retail game. Thanks to splick for the helpful review that led to their
  creation.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

v1.2-CN2 (Jan 9 2024)

TEXT:

- Optimized several equipment names.

SorrowSlc -> MournSlcr
AncintVst -> RelicVest
DelghtBow -> DeliteBow
Protector -> ArmorSuit
SteelPrtc -> SteelSuit
CeramPrtc -> CeramSuit
CometPrtc -> CometSuit
LaconPrtc -> LaconSuit
MaximPrtc -> MaximSuit

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

v1.2-CN1 (Jan 2 2024)

GENERAL:
- Includes the full retranslation and all enhancements from Phantasy Star III: Retranslated by
   Rebecca Capowski, Peaches, and lory1990.
   
   
- Removed the game's checksum routine to make the addendum patches possible.



GAMEPLAY:
- [Applied Patch] PS3 Translation Walk Speed Patch (lory1990)
   Your characters will walk at double the speed of the unmodified game.
   
   
- Included Rewards Doubler addendum, which increases EXP and MST rewards by 2x (final boss aside).
   If desired, apply after the main patch.



SOUND:
- Stopped Battle (Begin), Battle (Winning), and Battle (Losing) from playing at any point. Now
   Battle (Balanced) will play for every fight (final boss aside) and not change.


- Included Classic Battle Themes addendum to revert the above change. If desired, apply after the
   main patch.



GRAPHICS:
- Restored "Generations of Doom" subtitle to the title screen.


- Replaced the font of the opening credits with a fancier one to give the title screen more oomph.


- Included Parallax Patch addendum by lory1990, which restores Japanese battle background behavior.
   If desired, apply after the main patch.



TEXT:
- Fixed an error in the retranslation where Siren confuses Laya and Orakio.


- Gave one of Gwyn's lines in the ending to Wren, as in the official localization, since this
   particular line expects her to be named Laya.
   

- Changed the family name Sa Riik to Sa Liec, as I believe it's supposed to be a roundabout
  reference to La Shiec (Lassic).


- Changed the King of Liec's name from Saiki Sa Riik to Sykhe Sa Liec, just to localize the
  spelling a bit.
  

- Reverted the name of each person and city to their international equivalent. 3 exceptions were
   made.

   1. Liec -> Landen
       This would require changing the family name Sa Liec to Sa Landen, and I didn't want to
       expend the effort. It would also diminish the potential La Shiec reference.
   2. Foundaury -> New Motavia
       There isn't enough space in the text files, and this village also has nothing to do with
       Motavia.
   3. Alisa
       This not being changed to Alis in the official localization was always an oversight, which
       Classic-style Names corrects.
   
   
- Many tech names have been changed. In some cases, not to match PSIII, but to match techs of
   similar effect in PSII and IV.
