Tales of Phantasia is a role playing game for the Super Nintendo that combines random encounters with real time battles using something called the Linear Motion Battle System (LMBS). Battles are fought on a 2D screen that scrolls both left and right, similar to that of most fighting games such as Street Fighter. This game features an open world that allows the player to complete various main and side quests in the order of their choosing for the most part.

The playable characters of this story are Cless Alvein, Chester Barklight, Mint Adenade, Klarth F. Lester and Arche Klein, who must confront the mysterious and dreadful sorcerer named Dhaos, who’s motives are kept secret until the very end of the game to the player. This game also has a time travel theme to it, similar a bit to that of Chrono Trigger. The characters are great, the story is excellent, the graphics are superb, the controls and gameplay are both good and the music is fantastic, making for an overall very enjoyable and memorable game.

This is just a simple patch for the wonderful fandub by Topping Translations, linked here:

http://www.romhacking.net/translations/474/

The original patch required an interleaved ROM, which has seriously fallen out of use in the past decade and a half. The ROM you needed is now very hard to find (and hard to convert, too). No longer! This new patch will work with your usual run-of-the-mill Tales of Phantasia ROM.

For simplicity, this patch also includes the DeJap patch version 1.2 (with lower-case 8×8 font).

• Use an original Tales of Phantasia ROM with CRC checksum E9946B84 (no header). No pre-patched ROMs are necessary.
