Froid_san has completed a translation project after a long break at the request of a friend at vita3k. Despite being caught up with life and health, the friend's enthusiasm for the game motivated Froid_san to undertake the project. Froid_san asks fans of the manga and anime to thank their friend for this translation.

The translated game may not suit everyone's taste due to the fan service and sexual content, but Froid_san believes that someone has to do the "dirty work" for these games.

Froid_san used machine/AI translation and then edited the result to make it somewhat understandable, as they are not a native English speaker. They plan to release the Quickbms scripts they created to rip and repack the *.cat files on their blog in the future. This will enable anyone to fix the translation or translate it into another language. However, Froid_san warns that the code may not be clean as they are not a programmer and need time to make the scripts more user-friendly.

Additional Notes

  • Use vitacheat sparingly or disable it after a dungeon run.
  • Vitacheat can cause screen flickering when enabling Max combo cheat
  • Vitacheat may cause a permanent issue to your save file, like being unable to activate event points on chapter 12 if you kill the enemy with an instant kill cheat.
  • Vitacheat may also cause you to be unable to activate some challenge mission and will carry over to your save and won’t reset until you make a new one.
  • A crash is most likely to occur on stages 20-25 when you kill many enemies on screen in a short period (ex.. 50 enemies in 5 sec) with cheats with or without the English patch. Killing enemies without instant kill does not trigger the crash.
  • You can play as Riko after finishing the game by stepping in the teleporter and pressing SELECT upon entering the dungeon.
  • The game auto-saves after an event or exiting a dungeon. This is the only way to save the game.
  • This game and english patch is working on Vita3k
