Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)
Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.
== MEGAMAN X3 - RELOCALIZATION ==
Inspired by Thirteen 1355's Mega Man X2 Relocalization project, this is a project whose main idea is to compare both COA localization and Hondoori's translation for X3, extract the best parts from both, and release it as a relocalization.
Just like X2 Relocalization, I'm using the american terminology for most (if not all) cases. The main changes are context-wise, just like I've described here. However, I'm still open for ideas about changing some Maverick names (Bit -> Vajraler, Byte -> Mandeller), and some weapon names (G.Well -> B.Hole). Give me your thoughts, please.
Although I've already made all script changes and done most ingame testing, it's still marked as beta. Further tests need to be made before finally submitting it. Besides, a new VWF font will be added (courtesy of DarkSamus993), which will require more script changes. But besides that, everything should be working fine on the beta patch provided for now.
What's been changed:
- Graphic changes:
- Title Screen changed to the Japan-style USA logo ("Megaman" title screen by DarkSamus993 and MetalWario64);
- Script changes:
- X's name changed from "Mega Man" to simply "X" on its dialogues, in order to avoid confusion between players that still thinks that X is the same as Mega Man from NES;
- Mac dialogue entirely changed to the japanese counterparts, because the part where he says that X will be added to Doppler Army is totally non-existent in the japanese version, where he simply says that X will be taken captive;
- Bit / Byte dialogues entirely changed to the japanese counterparts, in order to restore their personalities that were omitted in COA localization;
- Some Doppler dialogues were changed, in order to depict him as a more pondered person.
- Some Dr. Light dialogues were changed, in order to merge the best parts from COA localization and Hondoori's translation;
- Other minor script changes.
