Awesome! I never completed the Japanese version, because it was... Japanese.

This really reminds me of what my lovely lady said once - "The Japanese are hoarders they never translate and release the GOOD games outside their island, am I right?".

She is. Every translation project is good news, especially for top-shelf games like the Tales series.

True. My little brother, who is almost 12 right now, did complete the game. All of his character where like Lv. 80 - Lv. 100.

It's a bit surprising for me that the Tales of Heats project made an announcement just the same day as the SaGa 3 group.

We'll see some news about even more translation projects in the next days or weeks.

Just keep in mind that translation projects are always a difficult topic. I try to select the most "serious" ones, but even those might simply disappear without releasing anything.  

Haha same here

No update on this?

There's been a bit...

If you can't find it, the patch is here.

It seems like it was just last year when the Progress bar a tiny bit smaller.
Oh wait! It actually was last year I last checked...
And there it is. My biggest problem with most Translation projects. "We wont release any patch until its 100% translated"
Srsly. Why are people doing that? I have like 3 Translation Projects that I'am waiting for but they never get finished and I cant use even the slightest progress they made.
The Demo is awesome actually but the problem there is, you cannot save your progress... Believe it or not but... Saving your game is indeed an important gameplay element...
