Life Bottle Productions has released their 1.0 English translation patch for Tales of Phantasia: Cross Edition. Cross Edition is the fourth remake of the first Tales games which includes the redone voice acting from the 2006 Full Voice Edition and features an updated battle system and story and a new playable character, among other improvements. It was originally released in 2010 alongside Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X on PlayStation Portable.
This English patch fully translates the game, gives the option for 60 FPS battles, and also includes the following QOL improvements:
- Added a skit prompt on the world map
- Added a new Red Lantern location in the Aifread quest
- Restored Suzu’s controls to what they were in ToP PSX
- Restored the original ending credits song
- Removed the Dark element from Suzu’s Chizakura weapon
- Made the stealth section of Alvanista Castle less jank
- Added a toggle for turning Battle Subs on/off
- Added a toggle for turning enhanced Holy Bottles on/off (enhanced bottles stop encounters fully for their duration, as in modern games)
- Monster Book is now alphabetically sorted and starts at the first entry
- The Sorcerer’s Ring doesn’t need to be equipped to be able to shoot fire
- Curio’s Mirror and Scout Orb now carry over in New Game+ if you select the option to carry over items
- Restored Rhea Super Deformed sprite from ToP GBA
For those that do not want the QOL improvements, there is also a “vanilla” patch included which does not include the improvements. The English patch can be downloaded HERE. Any bugs found can be reported in their Discord channel.
