Check out this interview! I tried my best to explain properly how the process of making a fantranslation works in a way that anyone can understand. Big thanks to @groggy.dog for running YsLink and interviewing me! If anyone has any further questions, feel free to ask!

Hi everyone! I finally got text insertion working for Tales of Fandom Volume 2! I also need to work on graphics insertion but I've already got graphics dumped for editing! Very glad that the game supports English pretty nicely already! Looking forward to working with @lifebottle.org on this!

My friend bought me this charm of Kevin from Trails! Thanks to @kaijuicery.bsky.social for making this and charms of other Trails characters! I really like that it's double-sided! Hopefully I can find some Ys stuff next time! Maybe I will finally start playing the Trails games eventually...

I had fun at Fanexpo Toronto! I went all 4 days this time and it was a bit tiring since I'm not a morning person LOL Sadly I didn't see any other Falcom cosplayers, and I don't think anyone recognized my Dogi cosplay either. Hopefully one day we can have a Falcom fan meetup somewhere at Toronto!

Good news! We had someone get us the Ys Online Private Server files! mega.nz/file/pOpW3QC... These files are modified client files that connect to a Chinese(?) server. Some folks have reported that it has been working well! Hopefully there'll be efforts to get the server text to be in English!

This year has seen the 1.x release of fan translations for two out of the three Taito-developed Ys games for PS2. I'm starting with the PS2 version of Ys III - that's Wanderers from Ys, _not_ The Oath in Felghana, although the latter released on Windows literally 3 months later. watch.cney.stream

Hi! There appears to be some sort of private server available for Ys Online Call of Solum! The problem I'm running into is that the files are in a QQ group and I'm not able to sign up for it. Is anyone able to reupload the files? Info on the later posts here: seldane.proboards.com/thread/6720/...

Wanderers from Ys PS2 has three different difficulties. (Easy, Normal, Hard) Besides enemies dealing more/less damage, the Ending text slightly changes too! One of the endings tell how this adventure was the most difficult for Adol. One says that Adol will continue to have more adventures.

For the folks that are wondering, I named my little Discord server (where I post updates on my projects and talk about Ys) after The Dandelion bar from Ys 9! I love the cast of Ys 9 and I love the vibes that this place had in the game. It's the kind of welcoming community that I wanted to make too!

I finally have an update on Ys IV Mask of the Sun: A New Theory! I successfully have all the files extracted and now rebuilt properly. Now work on figuring out the script formats and editing graphics can be done since we can rebuild the ISO in full. You'd think Ys 4 and 5 would be similar to hack
