About this mod
Retranslation of the original japanese (names/locations/etc) for a more literal meaning, removal of censorship, clearer references to older Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior) titles, etc.

This is a port of the original (OG) retranslation project. This mod is an attempt to un-"localize" many different aspects of the game, documenting and restoring some of the meaning lost from the original Japanese.
(The Retro UI package previously included is now available as a separate mod instead)
Documentation on these changes can be found in the original articles:
-Monster Names
-Location Names
-Character Names
-Spell Names
*Note: Many names that were shortened in the OG version due to string length limitations are now fixed in this version. A number of small additional adjustments were also made.
NEW- Dialogue Changes (introduced in 0.2.2, available separately under "Optional Downloads / Updates"):
-Cutscene Dialogue (0.2.2+)
-Full Dialogue (0.2.4+)
^Dialogue documentation (linked above): tabs available at the bottom of the page from left to right:
1. Original Japanese (katakana/hiragana/kanji)
2. English (very rough translation)
3. Localization (game default)
4. Revised English (reserved for contributors that want to help clean up the translation)
5. Auto-translation (Google Translate- pretty much garbage, but left for comparison purposes)
#4 is what's used in this mod (#2, plus revisions from contributors in #4)
