This Translation is no where even close to complete... I still have a lot of in game translations to do, but I think Ive got character creation covered pretty well, except for one or two fields that I have yet to figure out. I apologize for the annoying layout this FAQ is in, Im working on finding a better layout every time I update this FAQ. Also, I suck with Kanji... if I didnt have the dictionaries I have, I would never have even gotten this far on translations... anyways, to get to the point, if you see a Kanji that is wrong, e-mail me! And for that matter, e-mail me about anything wrong with the Japanese in this FAQ, as I am very new to the language, and know very little of the actual "mechanics" of it. *** I M P O R T A N T *************************** A Japanese Text Viewer of some sort is required to read this FAQ correctly... Some of the best are NJWin available at http://www.njstar.com and the built in Japanese support of MSIE 5.0, which of course is available at www.microsoft.com. The MSIE 5 Jap support is suggested, as some of the Jap Decoders can show the text weird, and make it do things like run off the screen or "glitch-up" when you scroll, select text, or do anything else on the page. ************************************************* ##### MAIN MENU TRANSLATIONS ##### There are three options on the start screen: New Game Load Game Create Character New Game will send you to two more options: 通常シナリオ Standard Scenario シヨートシナリオ Short Scenario Selecting either Scenario option will send you to a list of Scenarios. I will have these, and their names up soon. LOAD GAME TRANSLATIONS This screen is simply a graphic of the the VMS(s) available, simply choose which and load the file. ##### CREATE A CHARACTER TRANSLATIONS ##### The 4 options it gives are as follows: ___________ ___________ | | | | | Create | | Character | | Character | | Edit | |___________| |___________| ___________ ___________ | | | Load | | Delete | | Character | | Character | | Data | |___________| |___________| 男 - Number of Male Generals Created 女 - Number of Female Generals Created ?? - Total Number of Generals Created --Create Character-- You create your character's attributes in the following order: First Name >> Last Name >> "Signature" >> (See Note 1) >> Portrait >> ??? >> Year of Birth >> ??? >> Type >> Statistics NOTE: To change your character's gender press the "X" Button on the portrait select screen. NOTE 1: This text is the hiragana spelling of any Kanji used in the character's name. I am not completly sure of this, but it seems to be pretty common practice in things like instruction booklets and such, so it may carry over to the game here. As I said at the beginning of this FAQ, I know actually very little about Japanese, this is mainly trial and error guess work, and looking up words in the dictionary... *****GENERAL'S STATUS***** The following are listed in order, as seen on the edit screen. (For "Icon-less" text above name, see Note 1) 姓名 - Full Name 字 - ???(Dictionary says it is "Signature"...) ??? ??? ??? Year of Birth Parent 子 - Child タイプ - Type Leadership Strength 知カ - Intelligence Politics Charm The Editing options on the left are listed as follows: 血掾 - Parent Also, for those of you that might be able to help, here is what I have so far of the attribute that has the 9 buttons in different color gradients... they dont really make much sense, except for they lead me to believe it is something along the lines of ruling style, personality, or rank... (??) means a Kanji I havent found in the dictionary yet. 王佐 King's Assistent 大?? 才幹 Old/Wise Tree ------ ------ 安全 Safety(???) ------ 征服 ???? --Character Edit-- Choose an attribute and it will edit it. See the "Create Character" section above for reference as to what the different attributes are. --Delete Character-- Select the characters you want to delete and then choose the button on the bottom to delete them. --Load Character Data-- Brings up a list of Memory Card slots. This will load the characters from a save file. ##### IN GAME TRANSLATIONS ##### The options are as follows: 内?? Manage Province 軍?? Army 移動 Move 外交 Diplomacy ???? ??? 計略 特別 ???(Dictionary says "Special") な 開発 商 治安
