Ahh!! I think I get the idea. Although he mentions that it really needs to be seen in motion, I think that I understand the work that he has done. I'm really looking forward to reaplying this game! It's got a nice soundtrack 
Speaking of the soundtrack... How about updating the instrument samples in the hack? That would totally boost d4s coolness factor. That probably wouldn't be all that hard based on some recent SPC700/DSP work I've done.
This is almost turning into a Breath of Fire 2 remake rather than a translation or hack.
