This game seems to be some sort of wacky Tales cross-over thing, with original characters in an original world interacting with characters from other Tales titles - Mint from Tales of Phantasia helps you out in the beginning at least. Dungeons are randomly generated, and battles are actually fought in a system similar to Eternia unlike the original Narikiri Dungeon which was strictly turn-based. The two main characters (maybe more) also get costumes to wear, which change your abilities accordingly (like the boy has his swordsman costume, and his archer costume). I’ll be damned if I can figure out how to wear them though.

Oh, and man oh man is the intro long. It’s one of those “you are required to speak with everyone in town before leaving town” kind of intros, Startropics-style. What is it with GBA games and excessive intros?

Cyllya lends a hand with Translation and Carnivol with Quality Assurance to bring you this latest release of the patch. Several hacks make the menus and font nicer than before and lots of stuff is retranslated to be both better and more in line with official Tales games.

Also, some dialogue has been translated. This is no longer a mere Cybergoth… it’s a half-finished (okay, maybe less than half) release. Specifically, the intro to the game, key events that move the plot along, random skits, and a lot of miscellaneous dialogue that helps you know what you’re supposed to do.

Now if only the script could be finished…
