Hello, all.

Been a while since I posted a blog post. I use Twitter more often nowadays, so if you want more frequent updates on what I'm doing, go follow me by clicking here. Anyway, for the past week, you may have noticed that every web browser has reported this site as insecure. This is because the SSL certificate for the site expired recently. Why did it take so long to fix? A) I was slow due to IRL stuff getting in the way, B) I found out today that my website came with an email server. The certificate had auto-renewed, but it didn't apply to the website due to that email discovery. By the time you're reading this, though, this will be fixed and the site will be secure again.

There's now a whole forum for this website. Talk about my stuff, talk about SaGa, talk about modding. I don't really care as long as you're not breaking the rules, i.e. don't be mean, don't do pirate, don't do politics. ezpz

You can go to the forums here: https://www.ffvdgames.com/community/. If you made an account on the website before today, then you already have an account on the forum.

Just gonna be short and sweet since the title basically says everything you need to know.

I have created a mod that restores various aspects of the original localization of this game with some help from Haledire, the scripting mastermind, and Sevon, the translation genius (and also the guy who translated The Essence of SaGa Frontier). This includes things like item names, attack names, locations, and other miscellaneous things like BUCCI. This patch also fixes the combo system's names to be in its true form (e.g. Hymn Heaven and Earth is now displayed as SacredHell) and fixes some typos the new localization team made.

To install this patch, simply download the .zip file from the link at the end of this post and follow what the README says. If you have any issues with installing or using this mod, please reach out to me or Haledire either directly or through the Modern SaGa Modding Discord server, which will also be linked at the end of this post.

I worked super hard on getting everything just right and Haledire worked extra hard on getting a nice installation script written, so I'd greatly appreciate it if you also gave this mod a share on other platforms.

I redid the first trailer shown for SaGa Frontier! I think it turned out really good, despite my difficulties with getting Soundtrap to do the music properly. Anyway, go watch it:

Also there's a Soundcloud link in the video description.
