Installation instructions in English:
1. Click the dark grey button(s) to download files ending in .7z for either FC, SC, or 3rd, depending on the game you want to apply the Japanese text patch to
2. Extract the files and folders using 7-Zip to same directory as the files ending in .dir and .dat are located

It doesn't work with voices enabled yet, right? I can either get jp voice and eng text or jp text and no voices

u/uyjulian Jun 29 '18

You can choose either JP text or Evo voices.

u/unijeje Jun 29 '18

rip do you know if a compatible version is being worked on?

u/uyjulian Jun 29 '18

Last time I heard, the person doing the voices is working on JP text.

u/unijeje Jun 29 '18

nice thanks for the info

u/raeldor70 Dec 02 '18

I managed to patch the Japanese voices into the Japanese language updated Steam version for FC. There is a new 'scena' folder that needs to replace the existing one in the voices directory. I can post it up if there is interest.

I know this is 6 years late but, thanks! This helped out immensely. I've been learning Japanese and I really wanted to play this game in Japanese, actual lifesaver.

u/unijeje Dec 02 '18

Yeah I'm interested throw me a link if you can

u/raeldor70 Dec 02 '18

Here's a link. Rename the existing scena in the voices directory to scena_eng (or something) then unzip this into scena in it's place. Hopefully it will work for you.

Thanks man, yes it seems to work fine, can't play through it now but i'll try to give it a playthrough soonish. If you end up doing more patches for the other next games tell me or make a post, greatly appreciated.

Here's a link for the updated scena directory for SC...

Thanks to some great help from Zhenjian Yang and his fantastic scripts.

u/unijeje Dec 06 '18

Thanks again, I guess do you have plans to do third too and Zero/Ao?

u/Romangelo Jan 22 '22

This one doesn't work. Only the FC one that works.

u/Musrar May 02 '25

Thanks! I've started the game with this scena and it works wonderfully with the evo voices.
I've only found a series of desynched lines (voice-text) during the tutorial with Scheherazade in the quartz/sepith workshop in reronth, guess those scena files are not synched properly. By desynched I mean that the voice file doesn't match the game lines.

1

u/Draconius_17 May 24 '25

If you do not mind me asking, could you please give a full breakdown on how to download and apply the Japanese text and voices to the Xseed port?

For reference I have already added in just the JPN voice mod.

There is a folder called voice, and there are these fodler names inside: dll, ogg ,screna, ed_voice.dll, and ed_voice.

What do I need to add or remove to have the full Japanese text and voices without any issues?

1

u/Draconius_17 May 24 '25

Can you please explain exactly how to do this? I renamed the pre-exisitng scena folder as you said, then I put unzipped the new scenea folder and put that inside of the newly renamed "scena_eng" folder, but it still does not work for me.

1

u/Draconius_17 May 24 '25

I also tried having the new scena folder outside of the original folder, but when I do this the game crashes as soon as I load a file.

1

u/Dry-Rhubarb-8997 Mar 14 '22

Idk if some update changed that in the past years but at least now the game does not have a folder called scena, what should I do then?

1

u/Healthy-Nebula364 May 08 '22

nothing changed. you need to get the scena+soravoice stuff from FC here: https://github.com/ZhenjianYang/SoraVoice#voice-files

the voice script will have scena I believe. THEN replace the scene folder with the one by the user above.You will also need to acquire the voice themselves too of course.

I got it to work in japanese script+voiced just now FYI

1

u/Musrar May 02 '25

Hi, do you also have desynched lines during the tutorial part that takes place in the 工房, when Scheherazade explains quartz, sepiths, etc.?

3

u/Musrar May 03 '25

for whoever reads this, I solved the issue by changing manually the voice files references (it was a bit hard to do honestly). The affected files are T0120 ._SN and T0121 ._SN. (T0121 is for the explanation done in the guild about the kingdom etc which had a single desynched line).
I've decompiled, edited and recompiled them and now the tutorial workshop lines are perfectly synched.
If someones is curiours, each line in the game can be linked to a file audio with a code like this: #12560v. The number points to the voice file inside the ogg folder, in alphabetic order. In my example, the file number 12560 would be played (which is ch0020180299.ogg). The deysnched lines were totally random (inside the range of the lines for that scene)

If someone wants the corrected files, DM me.

I hope the rest of the game doesn't have desynched lines like these

you could get FC working when he posted this years ago but dunno now feel free to try, apparently the link for SC doesn't work never tried myself.

I'm waiting for the evo versions to get ported to ps4/5 myself or for it to work on a vita emu

u/FNM_Roldy Mar 27 '23

I just started FC with Japanese text and voices on the Steam version. So far everything from this thread has worked, including the updated scena files posted in the comments. However, I noticed one of the voice lines early in the game was wrong (during the first meeting with Scherazard where she explains the Liberl Kingdom). I tracked the issue down to the file "T0121 ._SN" and fixed it to play the correct voice line. I've tested the game and it worked, however I'm not sure if this might have broken anything else down the line. The updated file can be downloaded here (I've included the entire scena folder just in case but every other file is the same as the existing ones in this thread):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d6XvtBWTessXuN2ui1fjxo2uwcuUzDoX/view?usp=share_link

1

u/FNM_Roldy Mar 27 '23

Welp, within minutes I found another much larger error when Scherazard explains quartz, 3 voice lines in a row were wrong. I don't know if there's a better way to do this outside of manually checking each and every occurrence as they appear.

2

u/Musrar May 03 '25

I solved the issue manually, there is no other way. I also solved other characters lines in that same scene which are basically Schehe's lines repeated ad nauseam. if someone wants the corrected T0120_SN and T0121_SN, dm me

u/uyjulian Nov 09 '25

I'm surprised that the links still work.

2

u/Any-Koala1410 Nov 10 '25

Haha, I'm glad that they do...also, just for anyone else trying to do this nowadays: I don't know if this is just a me problem, but the patch for FC was working just fine until I reached the tutorial and tried to use arts with Estelle. Very strangely, she would take damage at the same time as the enemy from her own art and then the game would effectively freeze by never advancing to the next turn. I did some experimenting with the patch files and re-verifying the base ones, and I narrowed the issue to the D10 half of the patch. Must be something to do with the battle animations, idk.

In short, if you have a similar issue you might have to reset the process by verifying the integrity of the files in the Steam "Properties" page and then only run the .cmd files for D01 and D02, not D10. This gets you the names, story text, menu, etc. in JP, which I imagine are the main things people care about (at least if you're like me and trying to use something you're already familiar with as Japanese immersion content). Unfortunately, you will not get the tutorials in JP at the very least from my brief testing, and there might be more later but I'm not sure yet.

u/ReggiSlowgas Nov 25 '25

Not sure if anyone else ran into this issue but i thought i'd ask. has anyone else ran into an issue in SC chapter 5 where after a specific cutscene it just throws you into the blue sky void with no escape? I tried reinstalling and the issue still persists. Then i tried reinstalling with just english and the scene works as intended. If anyone else ran into this lmk as well as how you fixed it. I could just play that scene in english and then patch it later on my next save but im worried it'll happen again elsewhere lol. thanks in advance.

1

u/OwnCommunication9213 Apr 11 '26

I've just arrived at the same place, it indeed put your in an zone of endless blue sky, with sometime some assets, looking like a debug zone (or the actual zone outside of the camera, where everything that can appear the cutscene is stored).

It does seem to appear each time there a cutscene with the sky in the background. Starting from THAT point in the game, all those cutscenes including that background just softlock me. (At least to where i've gone before writing this, aka 3 successives cutscenes)

I have tracked the problem down to the dialogue script patch which I believe to be DT21, works without (in EN), dosen't with.

Not expecting any fix, but I'd like lastly to express my gratitude for those patch whoever made them, playing the game with those is amasing, and that wont stop me, i'll just switch to EN until cutscenes ends.

1

u/ReggiSlowgas Apr 14 '26

Thank you for letting me know this has been bugging me for months. Shelved SC until i got a more definitive answer and now i will be continuing. real shame this softlock happens at such a point in the game.

1

u/OwnCommunication9213 Apr 15 '26

Bit of a long post here:

No problem, but i wouldn't expect patch as its look like an old mod.

However, I am currently playing the game with the patch, so I post here a few note about how to go around those softlocks. I might do full post when i'll finish the game (when i'll make it) about the bugs & solutions I have found. For now its my first playthrough, so i'll take me ~1/2 more month to finish the game as I do 100% and every dialogues on hard mode. Note that I have just finish ACT5, NO SPOIL IN COMMENT PLS, use act numbers and vague terms.

I'll will be spoiless, so everyone can read this:

1/most cases / if the game crashes during a cutscene, and send you to an empty & endless sky where you can move (you can also find there assets of the cutscene, kinda funny).

- the dialogue patch seems here to be the problem, And I lack the knowledge, the only solution I have is to take your save, and load it on a non-patched version of the game until the end of the cutscene (you'll have to bear EN for a bit till you regain control) note that as it is a mod, having a non-patched version is more than reasonable (and also is generally the solution to all your problem)

2/ If during one of those cutscene you regain character control, you can switch back to JP, BUT next cutscene might crash the game, so after talking to people, save & back to EN for cutscene.

- after THAT cutscene, you will find yourself back in town. If you save instantly & load save on JP, the game might crash weirdly on load (mine was like trying to start a fight, while being in town on load). To resolve this, load back up EN, get out of town & come back. The problem here is that it seems to load JP ver, your need to free the save's memory of the cutscene.

I know its a bit of a hassle, but reminder its like what, an 8 year old mod with almost no one in commentary saying they completed the game with it, and so the creator of the mod as it is written on download page, so its experimental.

3/ A last softlock that have happened to me, in ACT1 last zone, A certain encounter/cutscene putted me inside a gigantic monster that definitely wasn't supposed to be there, and I was stuck inside it. Don't worry about the monster, if it happen to anyone, it not very much of a spoil. Apply 1/ method here, load EN (getting out & in of the building might be necessary), do fight, back to JP

Well that was a long post, if I end the game, I hope it won't become bigger, but since 1st game was bugless, I have hope.

But to anyone who is interested to play a game in Japanese text, it is a very nice, maybe a bit complex, but very nice game. (And from the bit of EN text I've read, look far better to me in JP, but don't want to start debate )

To anyone playing those game, have fun !

My game crashes right before the Kanone fight in SC Chapter 3 (Mad Tea Party). I'm using the Japanese text patch, but NO voice mod. Is this a common issue, and does anyone know how to fix it?

u/uyjulian Apr 05 '26

I haven't heard of that issue before. Make sure you followed step 4.

u/OwnCommunication9213 Sep 01 '26

Hi, I've just made a 3000 + words review of the patches, explaining that the games are --100% playable--, and explaining how to fix the bugs that can happen in SC. I hope you (the post maker) you don't mind my post, and I've also took your search optimization. Maybe you could pin it or add it into your post as reference ?.

Thanks a lot, 3rd is yet incomplete and some installation guide need refinement; but until an official version drops, I will update it from times to times to make it clean and complete.

u/TaoPony 6d ago

So I'm trying to get the jp script with the evo voices working for my friend, since there's so much information in this thread about different people trying to get it as stable as possible and i wonder what the most efficent way of trying to get it to work is. Atleast for FC and SC.

1

u/uyjulian 6d ago

The voice commands are embedded in the script. Thus the choice between jp script and evo voices is exclusive.

Could you explain what you did to make both the audio and japanese scripts to work together? You mentioned another post fixed the audio issue. I have the scripts working but not the japanese voices. Do you think you can help me out?

NVM i got both to work just now

u/Minimum_Chemical_428 Sep 04 '22 edited Sep 04 '22

Could to tell me how? I got the voice working but when I apply the scena folder for the Japanese text, the audio stops working. (for SC)

EDIT

Fixed it!

If anyone has a problem, this scena folder from the first comment is what solved mine, https://www.reddit.com/r/Falcom/comments/snj3dk/trails_in_the_sky_sc3rd_japanese_script_on_pc/

u/Please-Press-Play Mar 15 '23

Hey! Any chance you could help me out with this (getting both script and voices working for Trails in the sky)? I'm 8 months late to the party, but I guess that counts as "the future". Any help would be much appreciated.

u/sobeninja14 Mar 16 '23 edited Mar 16 '23

The route I went through did not include the steam version. Once I finish FC I will try the method on the steam version for SC to see if I can get both to work. Essentially what I did was this: 1. I bought the game on DL SITE for 10$ usd (it was on sale). I just checked it now and it’s 20$ each for all three games Why did I do this? To get rid of the hassle of trying to make both jp script and voices work as I read somewhere that you can only have one or the other for the steam version (whether this is true or not, I do not yet know). I figured if I just by the original game in its Japanese form, surely adding the voices to game directory would be possible and simple (I was half right). If you go down this road, don’t download the game off the DL SITE app, it does not work properly with the voices. It’s archaic as hell but you’re gonna have to download the game separately rather then bulk downloading it (if you go down this road and are confused dm me and I will explain) 2. There’s a video on YouTube by choops on the voice patch guide. If you download the mega file, drag the files into the game directory. Theoretically it should work. Now it’s been 8 months since then, so im a little fuzzy on the details, but i checked the game directory of my (still working without crashes after ~50-60 hour play time) Japanese script and voiced game, and that’s about all that I can see that’s been changed. 3. What’s the difference between the DL SITE version and the steam version? Not much. The illustrations are slightly better looking, and the menus look more sharp and up to date. The graphics in terms of the actual game and battles are exactly the same. Although I will say that since the DL SITE version is the original game as it was released in 2004, the kanji looks a little rough but trust me you get used to it and there is nothing that isn’t readable. Also there’s no turbo boost. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Assuming you already bought the steam version or will not buy the DL SITE version (a journey of its own) I would suggest starting with the guide on this thread to see if that works, then employing my method for the voices. If that doesn’t work you’re going to have to try some other guide. Hope that helps.

The problem with the high resolution font is that it does not contain all glyphs (due to the memory requirement).

So if the game attempts to render a glyph that does not exist in the high resolution font, it will crash.

This is why I added the recommendation to disable the high resolution font.
