In September of 1994, Illusion of Gaia made its North American debut. Known for being much darker than the other RPGs Nintendo was allowing at the time, it left players with a lot to think about... but unfortunately, the localization was often incomprehensible.

Now, thanks to the efforts of L Thammy, the game has received a new fan translation 30 years after its western release. The GitHub project page for this translation can be found here.

Key points:

• The new translation aims to make the English script more comprehensible and closer to the original Japanese dialogue.
• A demo is available on GitHub, including the translation up to South Cape location.
• In addition, the patch improves load times by decompressing all assets in the game.

Do you remember being confused by the original localization?
