Hi guys!
It’s been a long time coming…..
I have some video updates for the Drama CD. I’ve decided to go minimalist animation for this, with subtitles going with face pics that light up + some background scenery. It seems like an easier way to enjoy the drama CD, which is still mostly going to be audio based (with subs) but easier to follow along with as a video ^_^ There will be 8 parts total! Here’s the first two below:
Enjoy! More coming soon!
Hi guys!
I had a small batch of books printed out for my translation of the futabasha CYOA gamebook Phantasy Star: Alisa’s Adventure. Its $10 USD + shipping. The price covers production and shipping costs only; it is not being sold for profit. The PDF is still freely available here. You can also get a bookmark featuring artwork from the original book, plus a set of 10 stickers of blonde Alisa (in the spirit of the book)!
Order yours today while supplies last!
Next update will be about the drama CD. Stay tuned!
Hi guys! So I’ve updated Alisa’s Adventure again, and color corrected the cover since I could no longer stand GI Tyrone (lol). Blonde Alisa can stay though! She’s a bit iconic at this point.
Updated some other stuff too, but mostly minor(ish)
Here’s the translation index:
Here’s the difference in covers: Old (top) vs New (bottom)
The PDF for Alisa’s Adventure has been updated, mostly just formatting, but some other minor changes and fixes have been made to the text, for instance:
That’s it for now! Take care guys.
Hi guys!
Just some small updates — there’s a new section “Fun facts“, with a list of randon fun facts about classic PS. The list only has 9 things on it right now, but will grow as I think of more/find more. If anyone has any suggestions of fun facts to add, pls let me know! ^^
Also added some additional galleries featuring some art by the original game devs — Phoenix Rie, Yoshibon!, Judy Totoya, and Toyo Ozaki.
A partial Glossary has been added, it’s a work in progress. I plan to re-work it a bit as I add more. Also an Algol Timeline page is in the works (from the PS Compendium). I know this info is already out there in the wild, but I’d just like to host more lore here C:
Also, awhile ago Arawen had uploaded his translation of the PSII Futabasha CYOA novel, which is complete. I’ve been lazy to format it, but I’ve decided to go ahead and do it, so that will come in the next few months. To read the translation, it’s posted to the Esper Mansion Discord.
New Link – PSIV Rom Hack
Added a new link — Check out Phantasy Star Generation: 4 Relocation – PSIV Romhack. It’s a ground up re-translation of the original that aims to:
Phantasy Star Generation: 4 Relocalization – PSIV Romhack
- Restore every mistranslated connection to the other PS games
- Best express Japanese creators’ intent in both story & themes
- Make the game’s script more colloquial, fun, and emotional (from NPCs to main story)
- Add PS lore
- Add depth to character relationships
- Explain character actions that had been given no in-game reasoning (see project site for details – spoilers)
I’ve also added some new art — first one is my fanart of the Drama CD’s NM-2011 and Fal (Rika), being chibi and cute. It’s based on the art by Yoshibon, which I’ve also vectorised ^^ Also Nei from the Drama CD art mocked up from Yoshibon’s sketch.
Hi guys! I posted about this on twitter, but in case anyone doesn’t know yet — Memi Aizawa released a fanbook to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Phantasy Star IV. It features:
Buy your copy here! It ships outside Japan!! ✌️🙏✨❤️
Hi! This website was long overdue for an update, and I’ve been meaning to migrate from my personal website with my real name to my hobby/art website with my pen name. So here we are!
I’ll be posting new translations eventually but for now I’m just working on making sure everything migrated correctly.
I graduated law school but am needing to re-take the bar exam for the xth time already so this website will always be kind of lower priority till all that other stuff blows over. Sorry!
If you guys see any errors or links that don’t work, pls let me know! Thanks
Hi guys!
Sorry about the long time between updates. Life has really been hard the past year and a half with a lot of personal loss and struggles. But, the good news is that I finished law school this past spring, and I’ve taken my bar exam.
As far as updates go: I’ve added Chapter 1 of Outside Saga from SPEC by the infallible Judy Totoya! Outside Saga tells the story of what happens in Phantasy Star I three years after Alisa & party defeat Lashiec. The author Judy was the character designer/creator of Tails from Sonic, and did a lot of character design / mech design in Phantasy Star II.
As for the Drama CD, it’s still in the works, but major format changes / art changes are being made. I’ll let you guys know more later but for now I’m in survival mode so it’s hard to work on that at the moment.
And as always, if you’re bored and wanna chat about Phantasy Star, come join us down at the Esper Mansion Discord! https://discord.gg/phantasystar
Hi guys, sorry it’s been awhile. Lots of health problems in the family and law school stuff. I know I’ve been a bit on hiatus a bit.
It’s not much, and I wasn’t going to share it yet, but I figured I may as well since at least it’s a little bit more content:
Until next time!
