PS3 in-game dialogue text restoration (EN & JP)

By ValentB

These files will replace in-game dialogue text translation to one from PS3 version.

It seems like they've change smth even in Japanese text so I added JP PS3 version as well - just in case.

NOTE: Cutscene text won't be replaced and will remain unchanged.

Known bugs

There's a bug with dialogue box sentence being incomplete, breaking up mid-sentence or even in the beginning. For example: "You received 5" instead of "You received 5 000 yen".
It occurs often in 3 cases:
- Random street encounter dialogues.
- Received reward information (Yen or XP) after finishing substories.
- Phone call dialogues - unlike previous 2, this one occurs rarely.

Before & After (English)

Comparison screenshots. First screen in pair is from PC (PS4) translation, second one is from PS3. All screens taken from PC Steam version.

Pachinko

Pachinko itself is not working, however with PS3 text mod, you can read tutorials and grab the Golden prize if you know the password. You can't do that in default PC Steam translation.

Ebisu Pawn gives 120K yen for it.
You can also find it in UFO Catcher but it's a rare item there.

Is there any chance Pachinko will ever be added in full?

I get the text issues when going to a bar and having the drinks explained to me.

This is just what I wanted.
Thank so you much.

Added Pachinko screens. No, slots not working, but there's still some stuff to do there.

@ValentB No problem

ValentB [author] 5 Feb, 2021 @ 7:30am

@Weeb Man It's more complicated as PC version has new substories and PS3 has some exclusive too + Shintaro FUMA needs to be fixed. I'll look into it later.

What about Yakuza 3 Remastered?

ValentB [author] 4 Feb, 2021 @ 3:03am

@Gonzo Certainly not now because Y5 is way more complex than Y4 sadly. Y4 PC and PS3 files are pretty much identical in # of .msg files and apart from text itself, nothing was changed.
However, PC Y5 file has twice as many .msg files as PS3 one so simple replacement wouldn't work.

If you'd like to read about what was removed, in each forum there will be a post called "everything removed from this remaster" which will detail whats gone and why. Like how the pachinko made it into the xbox port but not pc?

Bitwolf 3 Feb, 2021 @ 11:54pm

Realistcally the only conflict between Canzah's patch and this one would be the translation, but you could just apply ValentB's patch after (if it wasn't bugged) and it would work fine.
