Life Bottle Productions has released an English translation patch for PS2 RPG, Tales of Rebirth. The game is one of the few mainline Tales games to not see an official overseas release. It first launched in December 2004 and was developed by Namco Tales Studio. You can download the 0.9 English Patch HERE. It should be noted that this is a beta release, so there may be some bugs found, but the entire game is playable in English.
