ときめきの導火線 added. Some minor improvements to the Chrono Trigger and Estpolis Denki II sections, reformatting of Zelda, and a reformatting and expansion for Final Fantasy VI.
Updates include... well, see for yourself. Seriously, even I'm not completely sure what's changed.
Sorry about the lack of updates; I've been really busy the last few months. I do have new content almost ready to go that will be up once I get a little more free time, but in the meantime, Zeality of the Chrono Compendium and a few helpers have incorporated my efforts into a Chrono Trigger retranslation patch, so you might want to check that out. Actually, I haven't tried it myself yet... yet another downside to being far too busy.
Updated some songs, and with a mix of JavaScript, CSS, and (in IE's case) abuse of browser quirks, added buttons to hide any or all columns. Combined with adjusting page widths (relative to font size) and fiddling with column widths, the text should display better than ever, and you can hide anything you'd rather not look at to fit more on one screen. The buttons work in Mozilla Firefox (tested in version 2.0.0.1), and a cheap hack that would fail if IE followed standards makes them work in IE (tested in 6.0), but I can't get them to work in Opera (tested in 9.10), which incorrectly doesn't work the right way, and correctly doesn't work the wrong way. (For the curious, the right way uses visibility:collapse on col elements, and the wrong (IE) way uses a try/catch and display:none instead, which shouldn't hide cell contents but does anyway in IE.)
Also! Threw up some item and spell translations for 聖剣伝説２ (Secret of Mana). Storyline may follow eventually, but don't get your hopes up.
MASSIVE reformatting of Final Fantasy VI. Much cleaner and easier to manage, IMHO. Added two new songs as well. Then there's the nifty little NEW and UPDATED indicators for easy viewing. I've also made some more revisions to Chrono Trigger, as more thorough processing of the text for the Chrono Compendium's retranslation project continues... Zelda gets a minor update too, but it's mostly cleaning up the formatting.
Older NewsYes, I realize that all of these games have already been translated. This isn't here for the English, it's here for the Japanese. I figure that if you're looking for usage examples for pretty much anything, dialogue written by Japanese people ought to be far more realistic than anything I write. Try using your browser's search function (cut and paste if you have to). And it's interesting to see the differences.

These are always interesting... lots of incomplete sentences, some unusual terms and grammar to sound more poetic or fit the rhythm better... And my favorite are the words that are written one way and pronounced completely differently, to give the same word two meanings. Ah, the wonders of kanji and furigana (those are the little kana written over or next to kanji to tell you how to pronounce them)...
For the timing information, I consider a vocal section to be 'over' when the main singer's voice cuts off.
Songs are grouped by series (or game), with series sorted by English alphabetical order.
