Expel wrote:Yes, what she said! ToDII never got released in the stateside, so if you played the game in english, then it must be Tales of Eternia, though they re-released it for PSP and keep the Eternia name.

ToDII GOT released in US. It's ToD2 that does not get a release. (sorry for being picky, but those are two totally different games as I said )

And I don't think ToE PSP got released in US. It's European release, isn't it?

ooops ,my mistake. Haven't keep up with gaming since I got back to my country. I remembered ToD2 as the first tales game I played, and played it when I was in Japan studying. Since then I got pretty much hooked on tales of series lol
well anyway, Ju-Da-Su is right

"And I don't think ToE PSP got released in US. It's European release, isn't it?"
Now that you mention it, I played the game on PSP...No wonder the cancel button is triangle, typical EU games... lol

Are you guys still recruiting?

Do you need any more QCers? I like to think I've got a good command of english.
I've also played through Symphonia, Legendia and Abyss.

Currently QCers are enough, but I need one to QC things as my other QCer doesn't want spoilers, and I need someone to QC the Comic Anthologies and Doujinshi when they get done, which would contain spoilers for those that haven't played the game.

It's Reid, Farah, Keele, Meredy... so I think it's TOD II
Phew, what a confusion......

@renachan: ah OK OK...

Tales of Eternia eh? Okay then. But yeah, I pass work via e-mail (I've received it BTW) X_x Currently, I've got some things you can work on, but I can't give you anything yet until I get back my computer as I sent it to the shop to ask them to help me install a new heatsink...

Of course I could retrieve the things from my external HDD...but eh...

But yeah, I'll e-mail you once I get my comp back and have things straightened out...

Spoilers don't bother me any. I've decided to learn how to do cleaning/typesetting so hopefully I can be of some more help in the future.

are you guys still recruiting for Proofreaders ?

Not at the moment...what I really need are more dedicated cleaners and typesetters.

Hello.
Well, I already am part of two teams and for one of them I am both editor (cleaner + typesetter) so I am quite busy.
But as some of the series we translate are the same, I could become a cleaner for those.
The series I am interested in are Tales of Destiny, Tales of Destiny 2, Tales of Vesperia (+ Flynn manga), Tales of the Abyss (+Asch manga)...
Well all the Tales ones except Symphonia manga, in fact (doujin are welcome). XD
I'll be busy...
This is a page from ToD2 manga I cleaned from the RAWs you gave me :

And this is a chapter I typesetted (from a US chapter) :

All Tales of Vesperia (+Flynn) and Tales of the Abyss (+Asch) already have a fixed Cleaner and Typesetter for them and there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I'm having anyone else work on them so they are out. Both the Cleaner and I have a monopoly on these projects and I also do not want anyone else ruining them.

Also, your cleaned page is too small. I cannot access it properly. But from what I can see, the blacks are not very well done. It doesn't pass my basic requirements for a cleaner (and the image is too small). Also, I would prefer if you did the cleaning test to apply for a cleaner. The pages that I picked have all that I need to see to access the skill of the cleaner.

Okay !
For the cleaned page, I just posted that on photobucket and pasted the link quickly because I had to go to class right after.
I've done the first test. Now I'm quite sure it won't it won't meet your criteria, I am posting it just because I took time doing it. I still have such a long way to go.
Here is the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H7FNJ5AR.
I hope seeing that won't dissuade you of giving me more RAWs, if my cleaning is too awful someone else will take care of it and I will only do practice exercices. XD
Sorry for bothering you.
Now, you really must think of me as an idiot. That's what I am after all.

That cleaning test actually passes my basic requirements. Your redrawing skills ain't superb, but they're passable and better than for a few people I've seen. But do you think you can clean and redraw one of the double pages? I need to know whether you can handle double pages. If not, I will have to ask someone else to clean/redraw the double pages if you can't handle it. Don't want a crappy job done on it. I'm quite picky when it comes to quality.

So it's okay for you to do any of the Tales stuff except Tales of Symphonia? This excludes Tales of the Abyss (+Asch) and Tales of Vesperia (+Flynn) as I already have a dedicated group of people for them and I don't want anyone else messing it up.

You've seen worse at redrawind ? OMG !
Your answer fills me with joy and I will be taking the other tests as soon as I can !
And yes, I doesn't bother me as long as it is a Tales series because I'll end up editing most of them for French teams anyway.
I am not (yet at least) editor for Tales of Eternia and Tales of Legendia but the editor who edits them has many other series, so it is possible they ask me to do it too if they think I can. XD
And it is always a pleasure to edit Tales mangas.

I await one of your double page cleans from the test XP

Having more help is great, especially I'm down the editor for Tales of Legendia. He's sick (I won't say what it is, but it's serious) so I wanted him to rest. Well, either way, cleaning Tales of Eternia, Tales of Legendia, Tales of Destiny 2 on a rotation basis, with the other cleaner helping out would it be okay? There is also a cleaner in training.

Also, can you e-mail me. I prefer to keep in contact via e-mail. I'm not sure if I have your e-mail =S

Also, I dunno if you would be interested in Tales of Breaker? With your skill level, you probably can handle it, and it will be good practice too. The skilled cleaner that is part of the group can help out if you have trouble.

That would be really great as the three Tales of are project I am doing ! As for the other, if it's good for practice, I'm taking it !
As for e-mail, you already have mine, it is aewhin@hotmail.fr.
I am the one from a French Team who frequently asks you for Tales of Destiny 2 RAWs. XD
Anyway, here is what I did for a double page and a page from a magazine.
I haven't finished doing the blacks of the magazine page but I put it with the double page because I won't be able to do more for it until monday.
As for the the double page, I did what I could.

I can't view the double page...>__<

Really ?!? It works perfectly for me !
Okay, I uploaded just the double page without putting in a zipped file, it should work now.

That's strange, now that I looked at the cleans again more carefully, it seems that there are some problems with the blacks. The images weren't leveled properly. Some of the lines that are supposed to be black ain't black...Double page wasn't done too well, again, there is a leveling problem, mainly with the blacks (lines/parts that are supposed to be black aren't black but gray instead). The whites are more or less okay, although there are a lot of almost invisible black noise left around the borders of the lines...this actually no longer passes my basic requirements for the cleaner position =S

Okay then.
Good luck for finding someone suitable then.
