Hello, fellow netizens! As it is customary for me to do some kind of update at the end of March, I figured I would do so just to say hello despite not much actually going on.
First, I’d like to congratulate Koei Bandai Namco Enix Games for their release of Tales of Berseria: Agito Versus Warriors: Final Fantasy XV! This exciting new VR MMO MOBA set in the years after Laphicet traveled in time to fuse with Sorey to usher in the Eighth Astral Era of Lucis is truly a masterpiece. Everyone, please thank CEO Hideo Baba-san for his efforts to actually release the game earlier in Europe than in the rest of the world, including Japan!
Second, I’d like to congratulate Absolute Zero Translations for releasing their fan translation of Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave! This one was long in the making and had several hiccups, but it’s exciting to see it out so soon on the heels of their fan translation of Tales of VS, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it thoroughly. Please make sure to give them your thanks! Their other side projects like Tales of Destiny Remake are still on the back burner in favor of games more popular with the fanbase, such as Tales of Asteria and Tales of Phantasia Full ReXmagination F for the Playstation Vista, but I’m sure they’ll get around to it.
Third, I’m sure you’re wondering about the status of Hearts. Worry not! Though we were busy for a few years, especially in the mid-2010’s, it’s back and making amazing progress! We’re basically almost done with the first continent and I don’t see why this thing shouldn’t be out by the end of the decade.
Well, that’s all for now. Please have a wonderful April Fools 2021 and make absolutely sure that you show your respects to His Esteemed Presidential Eminence, Lord Donald Trump, in front of your government-approved Kinects! All Hail America!

Am I the first one to notice the link to the full ToH patch? 😀

You would release the real ToH patch on April fools. Link is in the third paragraph if you inspect the source. Nice work, this one will be keeping me busy for a while, just hit the third continent.

On a side note, Tales of Link(mobile) has been soft released outsude of Japan.

What are you guys talking about? I don’t see any patch link even in the page’s source.
April 11, 2016 at 5:44 am | Permalink
what source link can any help
April 11, 2016 at 10:26 am | Permalink
Two of the guys above me claim there’s a link to a full patch for Tales of Hearts here. Might be a troll though.
April 11, 2016 at 1:10 pm | Permalink
This one is tricky. The link to the patch is hidden in the javascript code and it’s split in 5 parts.
April 11, 2016 at 6:35 pm | Permalink
You mean this part?
window._wpemojiSettings = {“baseUrl”:”https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/72×72\/”,”ext”:”.png”,”source”:{“concatemoji”:”http:\/\/www.blade2187.com\/wp-includes\/js\/wp-emoji-release.min.js?ver=4.4.2″}};
!function(a,b,c){function d(a){var c,d=b.createElement(“canvas”),e=d.getContext&&d.getContext(“2d”),f=String.fromCharCode;return e&&e.fillText?(e.textBaseline=”top”,e.font=”600 32px Arial”,”flag”===a?(e.fillText(f(55356,56806,55356,56826),0,0),d.toDataURL().length>3e3):”diversity”===a?(e.fillText(f(55356,57221),0,0),c=e.getImageData(16,16,1,1).data.toString(),e.fillText(f(55356,57221,55356,57343),0,0),c!==e.getImageData(16,16,1,1).data.toString()):(“simple”===a?e.fillText(f(55357,56835),0,0):e.fillText(f(55356,57135),0,0),0!==e.getImageData(16,16,1,1).data[0])):!1}function e(a){var c=b.createElement(“script”);c.src=a,c.type=”text/javascript”,b.getElementsByTagName(“head”)[0].appendChild(c)}var f,g;c.supports={simple:d(“simple”),flag:d(“flag”),unicode8:d(“unicode8”),diversity:d(“diversity”)},c.DOMReady=!1,c.readyCallback=function(){c.DOMReady=!0},c.supports.simple&&c.supports.flag&&c.supports.unicode8&&c.supports.diversity||(g=function(){c.readyCallback()},b.addEventListener?(b.addEventListener(“DOMContentLoaded”,g,!1),a.addEventListener(“load”,g,!1)):(a.attachEvent(“onload”,g),b.attachEvent(“onreadystatechange”,function(){“complete”===b.readyState&&c.readyCallback()})),f=c.source||{},f.concatemoji?e(f.concatemoji):f.wpemoji&&f.twemoji&&(e(f.twemoji),e(f.wpemoji)))}(window,document,window._wpemojiSettings);
I don’t even begin to understand how to read this. If there really is a link in there, it’s not humanly readable. And pasting it into an online Javascript interpreter didn’t help either.

Okay, I’m really starting to get suspicious now. I tried to analyze this script with a Javascript debugging extension and while most of its output still made no sense to me, the parts that did heavily indicate that this script is related to Twitter. What’s more, it shows up on other parts of the site, too. Are you really a bunch of different users who all found a link to a full patch here? If so, just show me the decoded link already. Otherwise, I’m going to assume you’re just a troll who keeps changing his IP and username.

just a troll stupid faggots
April 15, 2016 at 10:35 pm | Permalink
coz if there already a complete patch there already a link or even a complete translated ROM that will be shown in all the ROM website that i know,,they just trolling
April 19, 2016 at 7:11 am | Permalink
seriously though, maybe its time to give up this project. its been too long.
April 29, 2016 at 10:56 pm | Permalink
I don’t lose the hope anyway. If (for example) Megami Tensei for Famicom got released after FIFTEEN YEARS of working, I could wait the time it could be at hand for the guys.
Just remember Tales of Hearts R was just released 2 years ago. I would hope the next year we’d get some white smoke from this project.
July 15, 2016 at 6:18 am | Permalink
I played Tales of Hearts R after giving up on waiting for the DS version’s translation. The story, animation, dialogue, etc were.. pretty terrible, gotta say. Combat system was alright, but it seemed like the DS version was the better experience.
I’m not sure I’d replay Hearts on the DS with a translation patch now, but I think I’d at least give it a shot. I can only hope the story was presented extremely poorly on the Vita version by comparison, because it may have been one of the least compelling JRPG plots I’ve witnessed (slightly worse than Zestiria’s, somehow).

same here Bloop 64.
ToH is more worth in DS
August 30, 2016 at 7:49 pm | Permalink
much respect!! i look foward to this release!! ToH DS looks ALOT better than PS vita. the 2d graphics alone give it the old nostalgia feeling of older tales games, IMO that cant be beat!! I missed 2d tales lol

Allright, here is a present for you guys. Notice Kaji changed the banner to BERSERIAWARD? There is actually a purpose behind this. If you inspect this closely, you will find something very interesting regarding the Tales of Hearts DS translation.

Oh yay… the troll from april is back saying the same thing…
You really should change your user name when repeating the same poor prank.
January 8, 2017 at 11:43 am | Permalink
Not sure what you’re talking about. It isn’t a prank and it never was.
January 9, 2017 at 6:17 am | Permalink
Not sure what I’m talking about? Look back exactly 13 posts from this one, posted on April 11th, 2016 and you’ll find an “Alex” mentioning the exact same thing. Whether you are the same “Alex” or not. Then many follow up posts as well.
January 9, 2017 at 10:53 am | Permalink
By “not sure what you’re talking about” I mean that the “April post” you claim was a prank, was in fact legit.
March 21, 2017 at 1:27 am | Permalink
This guy could never finish this translation even if his virginity depends on it.
Otaku piexe of shit
March 21, 2017 at 1:29 am | Permalink
This site and project sucks, hope you’re dead, you otaku piece of shit.
March 22, 2017 at 12:17 am | Permalink
Wow, much hate?
The site, even if it never released more than a translated demo (two actually I think), that is more than any other fan translation of Tales of Hearts for the DS. There was also a simple menu translation done too.
The threads/posts have also been amusing and informative in many areas.
If you’re going to spew your hate, at least put some thought into it. Random insults and what I’m guessing is miss spelt words (as I don’t believe piexe means anything) only show how childish you yourself are. Like a toddler throwing a tantrum because he couldn’t get his way, without understanding anything else around him or the reason why.

Sucking the translator’s d!ck
lmao that’s pathetic.
May 14, 2017 at 1:00 am | Permalink
Oh? I’m quite envious of your imagination in how you could interpret my comment in such a way.
If you’d like, I’ve love to discuss with you in detail on what you saw. It would make for a good reference if one would ever like to write erotica.
As far as pathetic goes, what are you doing to add to the conversation other than randomly flinging insults like the previous person? Or are you the same person and just using a different name?

For someone who only good at trolling, insulting the official localization and the vita games, I’m amazed that people still trusting him despite the DS translation are never finished.
P.S : Hearts (R) >>>>>>>>>>> Hearts DS
September 5, 2017 at 3:34 pm | Permalink
Well, so it seems Tales of Hearts DS will see the light really until 2021 :/
Never mind… I’ve been waiting almost 20 years for Tengai Makyou Zero to be translated and is nearer than ever. This one can wait also.
November 25, 2017 at 6:06 am | Permalink
Surely the best thing to do is to insult someone who’s spenting time to translate an entire game (and one with lots and lots of text) alone for free.
February 23, 2018 at 9:55 pm | Permalink
kaji forced throughHim to quite due to his constant trolling.
Also full patch is still live in this post for people who missed it.

Well, we’re almost on 2021. Hopefully the Tales of Hearts’ release will come!

2021 is here. I STILL TRUST IN YOU, KAJI! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
