About this mod
For Nova Chrysalia - The mod makes changes to the US language version of the game to bring it more inline with the original Japanese language version of the game.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
The main changes that I wanted to see are done - changing the Paradigm role names to display how they did when I first played the JP Version, but it is a work in progress, and I will change more things as I find time if Nexus users want to see this.
Thanks to Surihia and the Nova team for providing the tools and the know-how for the project.
Examples of US version changes that have been reverted:
"Paradigm" and "Paradigm Shift"are changed to "Optima" and "Optima Change".
"Commando is changed to "Attacker".
"Ravager" is changed to "Blaster".
"Defender" is changed to "Sentinel".
"Jammer" is changed to "Saboteur".
"Enhancer" is changed to "Synergist".
"Healer" is changed to "Medic".
"Driving Mode" is changed to "Gestalt Mode".
The exclamation mark is removed from "WARNING!" when spotted by enemies.
"Enemy" is changed to "Target" when selecting a target in battle.
"Break!" is changed to "Stagger".
Examples of Translation changes:
Snow's Steelguard Ability -> Rise Guard (JP version is ライズガード Raizu gādo)
Snow's Mediguard Ability -> Regen Guard (リジェネガード Rijene gādo)
I'm taking creative license with some of the changes:
Beta Behemoth -> Earth Behemoth (ベヒーモス改 Behīmosu aratame (aratame = Aratame is used for telling one's new name with the former name and this translates to Kai with Google Translate. Kai means 'the earth' in Japan.
Earth Behemoth Ability "heave" -> Sob (しゃくりあげ Shakurage - to sob convulsively; to heave with sobs).
