Where Can I find all the scripts for the PS2 RPG Games?

I mean in http://www.gamefaqs.com there are lots of them, but there are some of them without it.

postscript : by 'script' I mean the entire dialogue and text displayed on each game.

Well, I was going to suggest Gamefaqs, but it seems you've already been there...

So...you'll just have to play all the games and write it all down yourself!

Another solution would be to rip them from the DVD, but that would require some haxoring skillz

haxoring?

Post by Chrono_Misjudged »

What Do you mean by haxoring skill?
My problem is when I want to play games not translated to Spanish. I can understand, more or less, english text, but sometimes my listening (when the characters speak without subtitles) is very bad. In Scripts it uses to appear the whole dialogue of the game.

Maybe if you tell us the exact games you want the scripts to, somebody here would be able to help :?

I mean the information you are looking for is on the DVD, but it's usually sort of "hidden" (like a coded message, or a special file format) and it may require some particular (computer science related) knowledge and skills to get it.
Or sometimes special softwares, written by people with such knowledge/skilles. For instance there are softwares that allow you to extract in-game sounds, images and video from PS1 games. And I imagine it's the same for PS2 games.
Script, as in text, is often a bit more difficult to get (there is no software, you have to do it "by hand" : read binary/hexadecimal values, and find which character they are equivalent to => translate numbers in letters).
But the sound files for dialogs might not be that difficult to obtain. I imagine there are ripping softwares for that.
Here is a rather advanced topic on the issue:
http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/behin ... games.html

So, the process might be a bit complex. Maybe you should just look for the audio/video files themselves? I know some games (eg Xenosaga) have been entirely recorded like that on a few CD/DVD. Should be available on your favorite [s]piracy[/s] P2P network :tea

But like Chris said, which games are you interested in, anyway?

Or maybe maybe stick it on the Wii to compete with Zelda.

Entropi3 you are so complicated...

Post by Chrono_Misjudged »

Why are you, Entropi3, so complicated? I meant something easier than that. The method you speak of is very complicated and it isn't going to solve my main problem, the sound, my listening skill to understand english voices, although the most of the contents of the game are subtitled in english, sometimes there's a part of the game not subtitled ( perhaps when a character shout when is casting a spell, when he or she makes a fanfare, sometimes when a character speak and his speech isn't subtitled, etc... ) perhaps I'm able to understand some of the message from an english conversation, but sometimes I miss part important of the message, losting the thread of the dialogue or conversation.

One example, was in gamefaqs. there I found the entire Script of the game 'Star Ocean 3' including the written text of the fanfares (which hardly I can understand, but written made the things easy for me) , etc...

To sum up, I'm searching for scripts better than complicated ripping sistems. I'm interested in Valkirie Profile 2 script (I´m going to buy it from USA) and later (when it will be launched in USA) I will be interested in Rogue Galaxy's Script.

I imagine they're not scripted because they're not interesting or relevant to the story...:erm

I sound complicated because your problem is a complicated one.
I perfectly understand what you're looking for, but chances are, if you haven't found such scripts on gamefaqs or google, they don't exist (yet). Someone has to write them.
And I'm providing you with information on how to do it all by yourself (improving your understanding of spoken English in the process), instead of waiting for someone else to do the job.

entropi3 you're right

Post by Chrono_Misjudged »

Entropi3 you're right, but I don't think my listening is going to improve a lot in few weeks (until I obtain V.P. from USA). Yeah, one solution is expect some charity soul is going to do a complete script/FAQ of V.P. for instance, and gonna upload it in gamefaqs. Maybe is a question of time that someone has the idea of creating this script and put it in gamefaqs like happens with other games. Certainly, I would be very grateful to this person, and I know this is an ardous task, and I can't ask for someone to do it for me, but, like I said before, sometimes someone fond of creating Game FAQs do it for the profit of everybody. At any rate, I especially have to improve my listening.

To be honest, if I understand correctly what you're talking about, I very frequently can't make out what characters are saying during battle scenes either, at least not all of it. English is my first language. The fault may be more with the game than your grasp of spoken English. I wouldn't worry about it.

I wanna buy one PS2 NTSC-US

Post by Chrono_Misjudged »

Yeah Lord Golbez, I know what are you talking about, is like when I tried to listen the lyric of some spanish song (my own and first language) and I can't understand some words. I wish and expect I will be able to understand the plot of the games only with the english subtitles. By the way, Do you Know sites on internet where I can buy online one PS2 NTSC-US from USA to Spain? I'm interested in obtain one before christmas.
