I bring good news: they are now planning to remaster every old tales title into modern consoles. So this game getting an official translation is a possibility
Love your appreciation and acknowledgment of Innocence R. I really was hopeful when we got Hearts R years ago that we would eventually get this as well but alas we did not… It’s a real shame because the Triverse universe between Hearts, Innocence and the possible Tempest R which may have been planned but never made seemed very interesting but left so many unanswered questions.
Thanks for stopping by! It's sad that a lot of people don't know about Innocence R. Such an incredible experience locked behind the Vita. I honestly didn't know about Tales of the Tempest either! I definitely have to look into that one even if it's just for knowledge.
Iirc we didn't get ToI R because of the lackluster ToH R sales AND PS Vita presence in the western world, which.. I can kinda understand. Tho if I had to choose which of the Triverse titles I'd likely have gotten, then it would be ToI R and then a straight DS port of ToH, cuz I really don't like the changes done to ToH R. And Tempest.. exists, it needs more then a simple overhaul to be reincluded and accepted.
Oh haha i just did a good bit of the translation (tho I was in charge of releasing patches for a while). It's actually the rest of the Life Bottle team were the ones responsible for inserting the text into the game. I'm glad you enjoyed it tho! Innocence R is a special game in my heart. I'm grateful to LB for bringing the english patch to life.
Hey! Thanks for stopping by! I definitely appreciate the work you guys do as a whole as people like me would not have been able to experience it. Keep up the good work for sure!
Hey seiichiro, do you mind me asking if a translation or attempt for Tales of Hearts (not the Remake one) could be made or finished up? The official localization for ToH R was.. unoptimal and the changes done to it kinda ruin the game for me, so I and I bet quite some others would really appreciate if say Life Bottle/Absolute Zero and mayhaps your help for it would make Tales of Hearts more approachable that way! (That way I can finally recommend that game to western audience as I rather tell people to stay off the PS Vita version of that title whilst recommending Tales of Innocence R.)
@@Evilriku13 checking the Tales of ABCDE server, it seems there's currently a Tales of Hearts DS project currently being worked on. The latest status was that they have the menus translated.
@@seiichiromine7070 never heard of that group, but do you know how I would be able to check that server out? I'm not that familiar with Discord, if it is Discord related that is.
@@seiichiromine7070 Okay? Then how would I be able to join that server? And is the ToH DS project a new one or how come only menus have been translated so far?
The Style and Rave names were carried over from the DS version of the game, though they work differently from the DS version. Glad to see you enjoyed the game; the translation team I'm a part of (Life Bottle Productions) is still working on fixing the grammatical mistakes in the English patch of the game. We've managed to get the numbers fixed during the missions in battle, but there are still a decent amount of fixes we need to do. As for bosses (especially the humanoid ones), the game gives you plenty of options to help against them. Unlike previous games, food can actually give you temporary abilities to the whole party, which can make fights a lot easier if you know what you're up against. They can also provide abilities such as dash or jump cancel, which can let the player reset their combo chain and continue comboing. A particularly good skill is the Destroyer skill, which lets you break through super armor much faster. Funnily enough, I almost never had trouble against boss fights with the right strategies you can set in the strategies menu. The game also lets you customize specific artes each party member can use based on certain conditions (like HP or TP), which can really help with keeping up your health (and your allies) during fights. You can also create different strategies for different situations (with a total of four strategies you can swap between in battle), so it's helpful to create one for when the boss enters overlimit so that your entire party remains on guard and avoids attacks.
Thanks for stopping by and all your team's hardwork! I do appreciate the insight regarding the bosses as well since I just walled through them. Is there anything else you guys are also working on?
@@Natquerx Our team is currently working on Tales of Rebirth (PS2 version) and Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X, though most of the effort is on Rebirth at the moment. For me personally though, I'm still stuck on fixing Innocence R.
@@xsonicdragon hey xsonicdragon, gotta ask: Do you think if a translation or attempt for Tales of Hearts (not the Remake one) could be created or finished up? The official localization for ToH R was.. unoptimal to say the least and the changes done to it kinda ruin the game for me (and quite some other people I spoke with too that experienced both games either RAW or on the fly translated), so I and I bet quite some others would really appreciate if Life Bottle/Absolute Zero would make Tales of Hearts more approachable that way! (That way I can finally recommend that game to western audience as I rather tell people to stay off the PS Vita version of that title whilst recommending Tales of Innocence R as that one really deserves the attention as well!)
@@Evilriku13Well, it's been started, but won't be worked on consistently for a while since Rebirth and NDX are taking priority. We've been able to get text inserted, but we also need a dedicated translator.
@@xsonicdragon I totally get the prios for Rebirth and NDX on your end! And this dedicated translator part.. is that basically what your team requires before you would be considering working on it again?
The caption is 100%true. I WISH they realease a english vertion still today the story is very great. I played it in ds. And iwang the great graphics they made for the vita.
This game looks great tbh. Great opening. Great gameplay. Love the licence board/sphere grid thing too. Xillia had something similar with lilium orbs. Are the skits silent, though?
I am pretty sure I muted them so I could tell over them without it clashing. If you check the tales of innocence r english translation update 1 you will hear it voiced in Japanese @@nezkeys79
@@nezkeys79 Neither games got English dubs; obviously for Innocence R b/c it's just an English translation patch. But yeah, there are some skits that are voiced, but a lot of the non-important ones are non-voiced.
I started playing the fan translated ds version, and I don't understand why this game never got an official English release. This is, by far, the best portable tales game excluding the switch.
It sucks and the PSP DUB of Hearts R while only dubbed for TEXT only not voice acting it NEVER left the Vita the normal version of hearts NOT left Japan on the DS either.
At least we were blessed with the vita version of Hearts R which I am currently playing though it is sad seeing such good games being locked in obscurity.
This game needs to release to the west someday. I'm telling you one of the best JRPG that ever made both nintendo ds and playstation vita versions.
I thought it was pretty solid. I would love if they even did a port of this and Hearts R in like a dual pack for the consoles and PC.

I know Graces F is on the way. I am curious if they will touch this and Hearts. At least give us some PC ports!

@@Natquerx I've only played about an hour or so. It's on my backlog as well
Sure.
Let's pretend that ToI is *not* somewhat trapped either.
The enflish patch removed the multiplayer.
*Sigh*
Has anyone told you your normal speaking voice, sounds like Jude Mathis from Tales of Xillia?
I have not heard that!
