The gist of my plan is to move everything from the demo into release, get that T260 cutscene stuff fully operational, get the Diva fight looking like what it could've been (minus fighting Joker, of course), and get all the prototype tables, names, etc. from demo into release (executable, BTL_DATA.BIN, EVENT.BIN, BATTLE.OUT, etc.). I do plan on making a patch file for this once I get everything imported and working. It'll take a while, though, as I'm doing things I've never done before and I'm modifying the size of the ROM itself with this project, which is a whole different beast that I've avoided up until now. 

You can view a public log of everything I'm doing here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/158cluxQh8GrsMg8B9yk4_2RBT9PF0ts8/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103929640379420088539&rtpof=true&sd=true

This post will also act as a log of sorts as well as a feedback form, so be sure to share this around with everyone who might be even a little bit interested in a project like this. Also, share this with people who could be willing to help; this will take me quite a while to do on my own, so having people to help figure things out with me would be a huge help. For example, how to change the idle coordinates of the camera in a battle arena.

I apologize for doing this. I hope that I can resume this project in the near future. If there are any modders out there who could possibly assist me in this project (namely translators and potentially voice actors), then I may be able to take this on again.

TL;DR I'm too busy to add this to my list of responsibilities at this time.

If anyone's curious to see for themselves why it's a mess, MysticLord has a skills editor spreadsheet in his collection of tools he gave to me just before he bowed out: https://www.ffvdgames.com/community/gen-hack-help/mysticlords-departure/#post-20

• Either find a transcription of all dialogue or find someone willing to make one
• Localize that plus all the UI elements
• Figure out how to edit UI stuff
  • Images and numbers will be easy
• Figure out how to re-insert edited video so I can subtitle all cutscenes
  • If this is possible, then that's like 70% of the patch done
• See if it's possible to add an in-game subtitle system
  • Might not be due to either me being dumb, the game being dumb, or the ROM being too full

If it's impossible for me to implement a subtitle system, then I'm most likely going to switch from subtitling altogether to dubbing over everything. It's still too early to tell, though, so for now I'm going to focus on figuring out where exactly everything is before I jump in.
