Coldbird’s back – God Eater 2 Localization Team Recruitment
It seems Coldbird’s finally back with a new project. Coldbird stated that he will be recruiting a new team for translating God Eater 2 on his blog. If you’re a reliable Japanese to English translator please let him know by commenting on his blog post. He has stated that the technical work for dumping / reinserting data has already started, and he’s got a working dumper.
This is what he wrote:
It’s time for a new project.
No, I’m not abandoning Fragment for this or any of my other currently on-going projects.
But this one just irks me, I loved it when God Eater Burst got a stateside (and later european) release and sucked it up like candy.Well, this time around we don’t seem to be as lucky with an English localization, so I am officially starting a God Eater 2 translation here.
The technical work for dumping / reinserting data has already started, and a working dumper already exists (took me a few hours to get all the code required for it going).
Like with every other project that involves Japanese to English localization, I am at a loss when it comes to the actual translation, but given the big success of this titles predecessor I’m positive that we will be able to find one or two people willing to provide their help as translators.If you feel like being part of a project like this, drop a comment with some reference material and your contact information, I will be getting in touch with you.
I will keep you guys posted, as usual.
Greetings, Coldbird
So how many of you here are god eater fans? Knowing that God eater one was a success, I certainly cant wait for this! If you’re a fan of the Monster hunter series for PSP then there’s no doubt that you’d love this game 🙂
Note from Wololo: For those of you who joined the scene too recently to remember: Coldbird is the hacker/developer who created, among other things, Pro CFW and ARK with fellow dev Virtuous Flame
Awesome news!
I’m glad somebody is doing this. I was pretty much either waiting for this or keep hoping this game would see state side. I’ll for sure be following it. I wanted to play it after having played the first one ages ago.
Ehhhh. I already played that game to death on pro-online (Which was awesome btw.) All we would get out of this is the story, and not even the full story at that seeing as God Eater 2 Rage Burst already exists.
luckily i dint finish the psp version or bought the vita release waiting for an english translation and now its coming nice
Well, let’s see if Namco will not release an God Eater 2 HD Remaster for PS4 and XBO after this like Square did to Type-0! hehehe!!!
Anyway! Excellent job!
Will this be for the PSP or the PS Vita?
PSP of course. We don’t have the required access to do this on the Vita (yet…)
yet = never ._.
Pah, nonsense! There is no such thing as an unhackable system. Give it time and someone will figure it out.
Man, that is the second best news I could expect to hear. The first being namco releasing the vita version on the west. I will be watching that very close for the next years :p
is this on the vita side or psp.
This is sweet, graphics looking really good
huraaay i got ge2 on vita and psp.
Great news! With luck we could port this translation over to the Vita version too, if we end up getting access to all the systems on said device. Or maybe not, I don’t know that much about the PSP/Vita hacking field.
I’m so freaking excited! Yeeeee!
hack the vita firmware already 3ds and wii u wa ahead of the game

PSP, also no need translation cus i got Japanese language skill :p
Moreover i already finished the GE2RB.. lol
OK, i just remembered..
Too bad this is not GE2RB because it got no PSP release..
GE2RB will come to stateside, PS4 version is the proof.
They would never port it to PS4 if it’s going to be Japan only, PSVita & PSP (or PSVita-only) should be enough for Japan.
so i guess .hack fragment is dead now
Awesome! Good Luck! We can’t wait! Thx M8!
I’m not entirely sure this is a good idea, as it may affect the possible on-going localization efforts of GE2RB by Namco Asia.

Given the level of quality in most of those Chinese subbed games (look at SAO (the Chinese sub version, not the mess that was the English version), which was also published by Bamco) we’re going to want a real translation instead. Not to mention, the fan project is for the PSP version of the original GE2 — if anything, it may bring enough attention to the game to get a real localized version of RB on the Vita.
Does anyone know what’s lowest firmware needed to play God Eater 2: Rage Burst on the PS Vita?
