Grandia Sega Saturn Translation
Hardcore Gamer Presents: Sega Saturn 20th Anniversary By HG Staff on February 8, 2015 Unappreciated during its own time, the legacy of the SEGA Saturn lives on as a haven for hardcore gamers.
Complete list of Saturn RPGs playable in English
Appologies for the wall of text; reddit won't allow me to use new lines for some reason. I understand that the following 21 RPGs are all playable in English:
Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining Force III Sc. 1, Shining Force III Sc. 2 (translation patch), Shining Force III Sc. 3 (translation patch), Shining the Holy Ark, Shining Wisdom,Dragonforce, Dragonforce II (translation patch), Blazing Heroes, Wachenroeder (guide online), Princess Crown (guide online, translation patch in development), Langrisser III (incomplete), Langrisser V (guide online), Albert Odyssey, Grandia (incomplete translation guide online), Blazing Heroes, Story of Thor 2, Magic Knight Rayearth, Dark Savior, Sakura Taisen (guide online), Sakura Taisen II (guide online).
Is this list comprehensive, or have I missed any?
I understand that a translation for Tengai Makyou Dai-yon no Mokushiroku - The Apocalypse IV was begun but seemingly never completed, and that Saturn Policenauts is very close to being fully translated. I've also heard that there's a translation guide for Soul Hackers but have never been able to find it.

The problem is that it’s long gone from the server that originally hosted it. Luckily on the internet—thanks in large part to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine—nothing is truly gone forever.
Former game writer Anoop Gantayat wrote this excellent translation and game guide over a decade ago. It is full of maps, pictures, and page upon page of translations. And while you might expect it to only cover the main plot, it actually covers every NPC’s conversations as well.

While it’s not a 100% literal translation, it is an entertaining one and definitely gets across what the characters are saying. It’s only major problem is that there is a bit missing from the translation guide: the post-game side stories and the final ending of the game. Luckily, there are various other walkthroughs for the side quests that summarize what goes on and the final end has been translated line-by-line and put up on GameFAQs.
So, if the language barrier has been the only reason you haven't yet played Princess Crown , grab yourself an import copy and play today.
Princess Crown was released for the Sega Saturn in 1997 and then again for the PSP in 2005. It has never received an international release but is available at many import stores and on the Japanese PSN.
