No it isn't a lie. A person at IGN got the game today too and they said that it is all in japanese.

What the hell am I supposed to do with it now?

Sounds to me like people are just having a hard time immediately finding the language select on the options screen... I mean... It's a Japanese game... It's gonna be in Japanese by default, until you save a different language default onto your card.

http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif I dunno, it better not be true because if it is, thats just plain ignorant of ST. Grrrr. I dunno its sort of taking away the trademark of playing multi-region if ST have removed this function. Also how will it work with ep1&2. If someone in the lobby used word selct, what would happen?

No kidding... Seems to me that it would require more effort on their part to remove it, than to leave it in. I mean really... All they have to do when porting it to a different region if they include all the languages, is change the default language and slap a different region's boot info in the boot sector of the disc... I would imagine we'll be seeing guides on how to find the language select here on PSO World within the next week or so.

Sonic Team's track record with PSO so far includes language select in every version of PSO. This guy's full of something smelly, and he's just trying to get a rise out of people. I'm calling his bluff.

It's common for English to pop up here and there in Japan. That's where we get "Engrish" from. Check out Engrish.com for a few examples.

From what I can tell from switching EP2 to JP language, there is no language menu there and the first option is for sound.

Unless they have changed the wording, there dont appear to be a english option http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Hmmmm
Does Ep3 link to the Ep1&2 servers?
Yes

Does Ep1&2 support Word Select?
Yes

Therefore must Ep3 support Word Select (THE system ST bragged about since DC v1)?
Yes

Must Ep3 support all languages then?
Hell YES!!!

I would find it amazing that they did put on all the languages (so Word Select works), but not made them available to select. Besides it is dead easy to keep this shit in the game (been there for three versions of PSO) So for Ep3 it would just be copy paste of the code for the options menu http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Then again ST never failed to amaze me.

Furthermore, how do we know the screen shot of that options menu isn't from the Trial version?

Guntz348
Nov 26, 2003, 06:32 PM
There has to be english in the game somewhere. I mean look at things we know to be true. First we Know they have put it in every game before hand. Second there was a 20% translation to english in the JP trial version. Granted you needed an AR code to unlock it, but it was on the disc, why would you stop there when have it started, and finished it for all the previous games. And the thirdly, most importantly too, there is no way word select could work with out having the english language in the game.

If there was only one language on the disc, then JP and US players couldnt play together at all. If a JP player played a card that was all in japanese against an american player you would have to have the english and JP on both games for it to work. Otherwise the game wouldnt be able to display the card on your screen and it would most likely cause the game to crash.

Just thinking logically about it makes it an absolute nessesity to have all the languages on the game, other wise they would be un-compatable. Even US Xbox PSO have JP language if I'm not mistake and that game is region specific. That means that you can't play it with JP people so the word select and items being able to be show on both screens in the same laguage isn't a factor but it is still indeed in there. So in closing I don't buy it untill either A I get it and see for myself, or B someone reliable like STE or any other memeber here who is known to not spread rumors and lies says that its on there or not.

Guntz has a point. Especially the part about playing with a Japanese player who plays a card that is in japanese.

Zaneatron
Nov 26, 2003, 06:41 PM
It would also be common courtesy to include foreign languages on the games. We hear all the time how nice JP players are, why not the people who make the games?

And even if it isnt on there, surely some english must be there, and maybe we can get it with the AR?

PrinceBrightstar
Nov 26, 2003, 06:42 PM
The final answer, that has been photoshopped.

The background was grabbed from one of the pictures on the net. The menu was grabbed from japanese language side and the language and bgm test were taken out.

I also say its a bluff.. Just look at all the pictures. The only picture that doesnt look like its from the trial version is the Character select screen, the rest of the pictures you can see in the Trial (have the Trial myself so I know this!) The Disconnect Screen doesnt prove jack sh*t. My comments to the Options menu... that picture is exactly identical to the Trial options Menu! ( including the background )

either you prove with real pictures that make it clear that it really is EPI 3 Full and not the Trial, or stop your BS'ing here!

I agree what Guntz said, Go somewhere else with your Hoax!

It's a desperate bluff. Any of those screen shots could've been snagged somewhere on the net (I haven't checked, but possibly from this very site), or from promo videos, and the screenshot of the options screen has been identified as being Photoshopped.

Episode 3 can no different from any other release of PSO-- All languages available.

I will say though, that a JP player playing a JP card against a US player isn't a problem. As far as the game is concerned, the card played is just a number, and it'll bring up the proper graphic, regardless of the language used by the person playing the card.

Besides people how could he have gotten it that fast? Now the game began shipping today and yestarday, from HK and JP, both places are on the other side of the world, it takes time. Even with one day you wouldn't see it untill friday for two simple reasons, one being time zone differenses, if I'm not mistaken its about 8am in HK right now. So when they ship something in the morning it goes here and sits for the whole night untill the next delivery day. Also tomorrow is thanksgiving a pretty big holliday so there is no shipping here, and more importantly hollidays jam up the shipping companys to no end. Who knows we all may be waiting untill tuesday or wensday for our games to show up between the season slow down, the holliday itself and the weekend.

Personally I have seen nothing here to 100% disprove jamesgatsby claims. Why you lot insist that if word select is in there, there must be a english language option baffles me. In the end its just sending a bit of code over the net. Sure his profile is odd but some people like anonymity when using the net, either that or he could have been in a rush just to sign up. However, I really do hope hes lying out his arse http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Talking of word select, I presume there will be card related phrases. Will you not be able to use card related phrases in the normal Ep2 lobbies and have to go to specific EP3 area? Or will it just improvise and if you ask a EP2 player "do you have gibbles card?", they will see "I like bonsai trees"? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Ep3 is up and running. It runs on the regular ep1+2 servers, and when you're in an Ep1+2 lobby, you have a gold name and your lv is set to 1. Trust me, I saw two jp players in Mintaka an hour ago.

Link00seven

I know they are there, I seen them just a minute ago when i was on. All I am getting at is when the pictures were posted, EpIII was still offline.

EDIT: Ok, maybe I was wrong, I dont know what timezone PSO World uses, so I cannot say. But I think my first points of the server names not being above the clock are valid.

Ep3 is up and running. It runs on the regular ep1+2 servers, and when you're in an Ep1+2 lobby, you have a gold name and your lv is set to 1. Trust me, I saw two jp players in Mintaka an hour ago.

True I saw some players in yellow. ALL LVL 1.

Everyone, the final conclusive evidence, which was presented to me by terrastriker, that he's lying is that the black stuff on the bottom of his picture is too small. it must be more than 1 pixel at a size of 640x320.
of his pictures none of the pictures have that so i'm still holding out...

although do you really need english to play the game other than for the storyline?

I don't know who you are and I dont know who he is. As far as I'm concernded this is still just a PSO hoax story and it will be treated as such untill another mod, admin or affiliate confirms otherwise. Also let it be know that if and when this does turn out to be a hoax story, you will share the same consiquences as him. If it is the truth, you both went about telling it in a very poor manner, all his pictures show is that he MAY have the game allready but there's still no proof or explanation that this isnt a load of BS.

Did nobody want to mention that the Hune he used in the two screenshots were dressed differently.?
Why would he A) change characeter to show different areas, and so quickly
or B) change costume
He has been trying to prove "a point" so why on earth would he be switching chars/costumes? He would simply be trying to get the pics done as quick as possible.

Also, I have seen nothing on this post that doesn't look like he has simply had the language set on jp, whether there are other options or not.. There is no way of telling. We just have to wait and see.

There has to be english in the game somewhere. I mean look at things we know to be true. First we Know they have put it in every game before hand. Second there was a 20% translation to english in the JP trial version. Granted you needed an AR code to unlock it, but it was on the disc, why would you stop there when have it started, and finished it for all the previous games. And the thirdly, most importantly too, there is no way word select could work with out having the english language in the game.

If there was only one language on the disc, then JP and US players couldnt play together at all. If a JP player played a card that was all in japanese against an american player you would have to have the english and JP on both games for it to work. Otherwise the game wouldnt be able to display the card on your screen and it would most likely cause the game to crash.

Just thinking logically about it makes it an absolute nessesity to have all the languages on the game, other wise they would be un-compatable. Even US Xbox PSO have JP language if I'm not mistake and that game is region specific. That means that you can't play it with JP people so the word select and items being able to be show on both screens in the same laguage isn't a factor but it is still indeed in there. So in closing I don't buy it untill either A I get it and see for myself, or B someone reliable like STE or any other memeber here who is known to not spread rumors and lies says that its on there or not.



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Guntz348 on 2003-11-26 15:33 ]</font>


And btw how can they send a little piece of code over the net, when the disc doesn't know the (foreign language) code. It isn't as ST handles that online, it is easier to put it on the disc. Which means no delay in translation etc.

I'm upset. I'm confused. I'm angry.

HOWEVER, I won't be getting rid of Ep.3 Jap, I'll be playing it for all I can understand. I'll be joining all those who wish to join an Ep.3 clan I'll be forming - 'Ep.3 Defiant'. In this clan we'll be tearing the game apart trying to understand and translate everything we can and try to make the most of what is a amazingly unbelievable situation.

Let's get rockin on this game. Let's get ahead.

I'm still looking forward to Ep.3 and I hope I make some new friends while I'm there!

Anyone interested in joining my clan please post on here or drop me a PM.

I also hope to introduce loads of cool clan exclusives - clan management, clan rankings, a website and other stuff. I'm on it.

(OT: I've also recently wrote a .beat clock for java phones if anyone is interested - does anyone know if ep.3 has beat time?)

Yes we (at least I do) do owe him and -STE- an apology.
So I am sorry jamesgatsby and -STE- for not believing you, but to give you a little inside in why I didn't believe you, it is because of that was previously posted why Ep3 would NEED all languages.
And therefore I quess Ep3 DOES know all languages, but ST didn't make the option to select them available in the Options Menu.

For now I am going to stay amazed of ST's weird logic or should I call it stupidity?

Not that is going to affect anything.
I had a JPN learning book (with just some basic stuff) lying around here for almost a year.
With this game I might actually get motivated to use it http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif and perhaps buy more JPN books.

Alright alright...

I was a bit disappointed at first when I heard this information. The more I think about it though, it's all going to be fine. We'll all work together to get a database of translated cards up, and maybe a translation of the offline story. I had plans to learn Japanese, looks like now is a good time to start!

Also, I sincerely apologize for acting the way I did. I was so sure the game was going to have english, that any word of it not having english was ticked me off. Basically, I got over confident. James, and everyone, I am sorry. Please accept this apology.

Anyway, once our copies arrive, lets all get together and kick some serious ass!

I also owe an apology. I figured you guys were really stupid people wanting to spam, etc. Please accept my heartfelt apology, and go kill a Hunter or two for me while I wait for it to come stateside.

My appology as well. I just like looking at proof, and I've been around enough to at least know how close something is to being a hoax or truth. And the events here really had me thinking hoax until that picture of battle.

James, and everyone else, I can't wait to meet on the field of battle, either as a friend, or foe.

I think what you guys are forgetting, is that it needs to be translated in to more languages than just English. There's French, German, Italian and Spanish too.. I didn't play the trial, but if only 20% was in English then that is a very small portion of the word select as a whole. I do believe very much so that a LOT of this game will have been translated in to English, but just unable to access it. I also think it's possible that almost the whole of the English section had been completed.

Another point to consider.. how about ALL the other languages are tucked away in there, but access to them is forbidden in an attempt to push importers away. However, they'd still work online and when needed. Nintendo have a very strong stance on regioning, and are against any of their products being sold and played anywhere other than the region intended, and since it's appearing on their system they would definitely have some level of control over it.(In the UK, import shops have been told NOT to sell import Nintendo games; there is no law to stop this, so they've made it clear that any shops found to be selling Nintendo import products will not be supplied Nintendo products of any kind.)

I haven't played Ep.III yet, trial or finished game, but I just wanted to throw some ideas in to the hat. To be honest, I find it completely implausible that it would be removed.

St just did it so they can get the money. NO DUH PEOPLE! They screwed the importers so they would get the money but can't switch the language so they would then buy it when it comes out in their own little place. Plus all the cards would have taken up a lot of blocks so they had to probly cut on the languges.

...if this is no longer considered a hoax story, then this should be put on the front page. Importers should know!

English letters (characters) Are most definetly on the disc. They have to be for tow reasons. One, character names can only be english letters/characters to interact with ep 1+2 characters.

Two, speach bubbles from English setting players. Otherwise, it would show up as giberish on a JP set console.

This does not mean that the game has a setting to play solely in that mode, with everything converted.

So, english is there, just not readily available.

Oh, and to everyone who imported, and hates ST because of this, well, technically we are not allowed to import and play games on modified consoles.

It IS allowed to play import games. It IS allowed to have an import console.
It's NOT allowed to get import games and sell it in your country(make money with it).

And: I don't hate ST. Still love 'em ^-^
There is always a way to solve a problem.
Card Database in one answer.

Since I can read/write Japanese pretty well (with the exception of some kanji's http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif ) I would like to offer my services with translating cards, etc.

My Ep.3 is shipping right now along with my PSO Plus so hopefully I can get started pretty soon.

Please bear in mind, cards will be easier than storyline. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

I think, in the end, it's all going to work out.

I dont know any Japanese, so I probably won't be very helpful, but, if I end up finding any cards no one else has (probably wont happen LOL) i'll let you guys know. I have also planned on learning Japanese for awhile now, so for Christmas I am going to try getting a professional book (anyone with suggestions?)

My copy will show up monday (damn UPS said they ran on thanksgiving, but they didnt, so my package was at a standstill yesterday, and they dont run saturday or sunday.........)

Anyway, I personally am not mad at Sonic Team. It's a bit disappointing, but, we all knew this could happen, and with all the nice people here, and the teamwork, hopefully we can all just help everyone out!

I still have a few questions though. I play EpI&II Ver 1.1 (JP), when I load up EpIII, how am I going to get online? Will it transfer my Guild Card Info over? (Network file too..?) When i goto go online, am I going to have to fake my address again, or just put in my EpI&II Serial's and EpIII Serials and no problem? If anyone can confirm how this is going to work, i'd appriciate it.

Also, typing. I have the Happy Fun Box Adaptor (the new one) and I am wondering how I am going to type in English. I had set my language to JP on EpI&II and could type english, but it was very hard considering I had to hit spacebar every word to keep the letters from L O O K I N G L I K E T H I S. Also, it couldn't space w/o pushing some weird buttons and making it work, so it was acually very hard. Is there an easier way? Maybe making the keyboard or game type only english characters? I don't know...it's confusing.

Damn I cant wait for my copy to arrive, so many unanswered questions!!

Also, if anyone has the full version, and has acess to the old Trial Version code that unlocked partial english, I think someone should try it and see if it works with EpIII.

I guess I am interpreting that literally. My Mistake.
