Daily Thread Of Retro Translator's Schedule to translate average to lower lines for his projects

[Hikaru1057]

Just for everyone who thought that it may at least take so long for the projects to get finished, i'm intending to post daily status updates (mostly script based as tom's mainly focusing it) until he was able to fully complete most of the scripts in both games to get inserted and tested in the games themselves:

Great idea, thank you for this!

I didn't know Tom was still working on SMT-related projects, cool stuff. M.I. Persona is the mobile spin-off of the first game, right? Interesting.

Actually the first game itself is the one tom's been retranslating

Oh, I see. I didn't realize the Megami Ibunroku was part of the original Japanese title.

I'm willing to stop posting if something is wrong with tom himself, otherwise, i'll keep on posting if he manages balancing his own health, life, and work

Literally gave extra time to translate more lines because most of the main lines were very short

He started a new contact file and it's much bigger than the last one:

Looks like he reduced his quota but he's still returning to using the same quota while learning his mistakes

Has he talked about why he picked Persona 1? I know the original Persona 1 localization changed a bunch of things and removed a big alternate route through the game (the Snow Queen quest), but I'm curious as to what are the advantages of the PS1 original over the PSP port? I think it changed the soundtrack, but there's already a hack for that IIRC. I haven't played that game yet, but I might one day if I really love P2 which I plan to play first. So I'm wondering.

ONE LINE QUOTA ALERT!
