MGQ Paradox English Translation 1.21.36

July 11, 2016

1.21.36 Mega: https://mega.nz/#!bEowUYZT!k1EmaZWNoTWl1SuZW3raIH_NdmwyviPmN3RPWbL5XAk

Backup: http://www34.zippyshare.com/v/nGxS5kJK/file.html

Usual procedure applies. Unzip to a completely fresh copy of the game directory for version 1.21, run patch.exe, click patch. If you get an error, you have the wrong version of the game. Sorry for the shitty backup site but it appears that anonfiles is defunct.

So yeah, it’s been 3 months and the translation project hasn’t exactly made huge strides. Since the last patch, this patch does let you talk to all the monsters in battle on the Ilias Continent, but the seduction events aren’t done. A couple of the early BFs are translated, too. I said before that this is mostly a clean-up patch, but it doesn’t even finish all of that. The next patch should put the game in a playable state start to finish. Hopefully that won’t take another 3 months, but yeah…. I realize how hilariously bad 6% progress in 3 months is. On the “bright” side, Paradox part 2 is confirmed to not be this year.

P.S. I’ll update later this week with some other monster girl games you should be paying attention to.

  1. So, at least another year of waiting for sequel huh….oh well~

    • Daniel permalink

      Wait, where did you hear this Noir? I’ve been scouring the internet trying to find any information on when the next chapter will be coming out.

      • Torotoro’s latest update (and some previous ones) are clear that the next chapter in Paradox won’t be out until next year. It could possibly come out early in the year, though.

    Hoping the patch comes quicker. Take your time but don’t leave us hanging.

    Dargoth, I know you are a busy finishing this project and when you finish that you will go to other projects. Can you reconsider translating this game: Meikyuu Touha: Monster Girls. Really Intrigued. Please! I’m not saying now or in a year but whenever you get a chance. If you cant do it for some reason, can you reconsider getting to someone else then? Love your work!

    Hey just wanted to make a quick shout to all who posted tips and such here. Thanks a lot. Thanks to you guys I beaten Reaper and now I’m slowly progressing whit the chaos dungeon. Could not have done this alone.

  7. Just a reminder: Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing Monster Girl Encyclopedia in 2 months for around $24.99. It will be hardcovered, uncensored, and will feature the updated images of the older monster girls.

    • Desert Eagle permalink

      I’m tempted to order one… I wonder how much the shipping costs are?

      Or… whatever. Even if shipping costs add a bit more price, getting a hardcovered Monster Girl Encyclopedia should be worth it.

      • If you’re in the US then not much, probably about $6 dollars. It will also be sold at Walmart, Barnes and Noble, Powell and BAM! retail stores if you don’t want to pay for shipping.

    Just leaving a comment, spoils ahead of course.

    Anyone find it strange that Luka changes jobs every couple of minutes in the story? When you meet Micaela you’re changed to Hero, and when you find out you’re an angel you switch to Lowly Angel.

    • Anonymous permalink

      i seem to recall he only does that one race change and job change on his own the rest its up to the player

      • Anonymous permalink

        that makes sense, I thought it was both job changes.

  12. MGQ Player permalink

    GUYS I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT DON DAHLIA.

    When I checked the Graphics > Pictures folder, I saw a picture of Don Dahlia different to her scene as a battlefucker. She just stands in the picture with different parts of her body with a semen at her stomach. It looks like Luka came just by looking at her. I remembered a long time ago I was able to trigger the scene but now that I’m doing my second run, I can’t seem to remember how. Anyone knows? Thanks.

    • MGQ Player permalink

      I think the word I’m looking for is her “EXTRA CG” how do I trigger it? Thanks!

      • Anonymous permalink

        There are some CGs that aren’t in the game, at least not yet. I know Chrome has a few too.

    • Desert Eagle permalink

      Perhaps your HP needs to be 1 before starting the session?

    can we get a small patch every 2 weeks? pretty plz.

  14. firstlords permalink

    Minor spoilers ahead for those who still care (I am one of those)

    I’m currently about to get sylph. Which is great because Luka finally Race changes and I’m no longer wasting all those Job XP. Only problem is, there are a few lines of unavoidable text after you beat sylph that is not yet translated. I really don’t want to miss anything important. Can anyone give me a translation?

    • Anonymous permalink

      It’s translated for Illias, but not for Alice. I can’t translate it but i’d imagine it’s the same sort of lines

      • firstlords permalink

        There are people who chose Ilias over Alice??

      • Anonymous permalink

        Of course, because she is more kawaii and make compliments, at the same time Alice complaining all the time and talks about food

      • Anonymous permalink

        I did, just to see the differences. It seems that Illias has more translated stuff than Alice does.

      • LeZhayr permalink

        Actually until Sabasa (played just until Sabasa) Illias is more interesting than Alice. Paradox Alice is not the same Alice everyone loves

      • Kunaral permalink

        In-character for Luka, it’s the most logical choice. Either you believe she’s Ilias, in which case she’s your goddess, or you don’t, in which case she’s still an angel from heaven, and represents the only known remaining connection to your goddess.

        Frankly, it’s a little disappointing that Sonya and Ilias have so little interactions, since the former is a priest of the latter.

    Dargoth, just letting you know, there are some errors when talking to the informant about the “ELKA COMPANY” and “ELKA” treating Lazarus as “HIS” brother, and the talking to Lazarus about getting entry to the “ERUKA COMPANY” and Lazarus saying that he met “HER” at a pub or something….

    • Anonymous permalink

      Actually now I think about it… there is a fair amount of proofreading needs doing……. I would be willing to do it when you get further in your translations….. Assuming you send it as script on a note or txt file…as I don’t know how to personally crack into the patch file…. If you would like me to do so say so and i will contact with you.

  16. Veir permalink

    Are You in need of translation help?

  17. Friendly Author permalink

    Dargoth,
    So I’m not sure if I’m the only one who feels this way, but I’m confused as to why we are trying for perfect translations on the first go? I do get your point on wanting the translation and style to be perfect. It’s theoretically a good plan; it just isn’t working in practice.
    As I’ve read from your notes, that is a huge undertaking for you and right now the game is unplayable for most of us at this point.
    So why not do it like a normal game release? Do the basic imperfect translation and release it so it is officially playable. Then see if there are bugs and get input from the community. Finally fix the game into its “perfect” state in a series of patches. This would remove some of the pressure of people desperate to play the game and makes it so you have a lot of additional help. I’ve actually published two fiction novels and would love to help you translate and get the style you like. Unfortunately, I do not speak Japanese so I can’t help in its current state. However, if the game were in the “rough” English state then I could help smooth things out and get a consistent style! (I’m sure I’m not the only English speaker who would be willing to help)
    Please let me know your thoughts and if you disagree.

      This makes sense and whats most important for me, the story would be playable faster.

    • I’m essentially doing this already, but the guy who’s doing the rough story translation is just as busy as I am. The added project management burden has eaten up a lot of the possible gains in speed as well….

    If you’re interested in checking out another game, “Harem Fantasy -Good or evil will save the world-” is a pretty good game. It’s not about monster girls but it has a very good gameplay which resembles MGQ:Paradox.

    The story takes a lot of elements from older Final Fantasy games – dominantly from FFV but also from FFIV and FFVI. The main character is a young man with amnesia who’s trying to get his memories back. Along the way, he’s joined by three beautiful women (Bra sizes: big, bigger, biggest), and his quest transforms into protecting the four crystals and saving the world.

    Combat works on ATB system. You can choose from three different modes: active, semi-active, wait. If you choose “wait”, your opponents will sit tight and wait for you to choose your move. In active mode, they won’t wait at all; While you’re fumbling to find the right spell, the enemy might already have made a second move. Up to you what kind of challenge you want.

    Characters have their own level and – like in FFV and MGQ:Paradox – a job level. They can choose a job for themselves and master it, gaining permanent abilities from it (My own team is Knight, Thief, Monk and White Mage). The skills are fairly varied too, making for interesting combat tactics.

    There’s also one more twist in how you experience the story: an alignment system. Over the course of the game, you make choices that define your character. Your goal is to save the world but you can be either good or evil about it. For example, your very first choice is to either A) Save the girl, or B) Watch her get raped by goblins. It depends on what you want to do.

    • Desert Eagle permalink

      I forgot to mention one more awesome aspect. Each of the main characters have their own sprites and art for each of the jobs they equip. Each of the girls will look completely different depending on what job they have equipped. It’s really cool.

      • Fozze permalink

        The game is pretty darn good! Kinda lost atm tho, what do you do after Cap’n big tits mcgee gets taken by that demon pirate? been to that cave at the very start and killed the insect thing and stolen his treasure, saved the princess, done the solo events and touched the brown hairs tits.. now what?

    Hi guys. Is it possible to cook the Salad (or Miso Soup) and put it in the inventory. Basically, I want to use it as a gift for a girl. It works with Fried egg, but when I am trying to cook the Salad it requires to chose a character who is going to eat it.

    • Anonymous permalink

      After choosing a character to eat it, it will also show up in your inventory if I remember correctly. This way you get the buff associated with the food and the food itself in the inventory.

  29. Does anyone know how to get those alternate BF scenes? In the files, there are graphics for a nude Saran and Olan. And there’s actual penetration with Kate. Google didn’t help me at all…

      there are pictures in the files that are not yet added in the game.

  30. Wobby Wobman permalink

    I finally caved in and started playing this with the partial patch, (I was gonna wait until it’s completed.) and I gotta say, I love all the sex request scenes you can have with the girls in your party. When I read about those, I thought it was all lovey dovey consensual stuff, but Luka is still basically getting overwhelmed and raped, only that now he’s thouroughly loving it, as opposed to the “Oh no, please stop!” nonsense from the regular game overs. Great stuff.

    And I gotta ask, even though this has probably been answered a million times already…the regular game over scenes from all the monsters that were brought over from the original game…the text feels similiar yet very different. Is the japanese text in these scenes the same as it is in the original game and it’s just the translation that makes it feel different, or were the game over scenes already rewritten in the japanese script.

    Either way, for the most part I prefer the english text in Paradox.

    inb4 next patch is in September, and Dargoth and co have it all the way up to 40%.

    • Early October is more likely, and definitely more than 40%.

      • Wobby Wobman permalink

        Now when you say that, do you mean over 40% of the essential story progression script is done, or over 40% of the entire script, all the sex stuff and whatnot. For me the H-stuff is pretty much all that matters.

      • 40% of the maps and events, which includes the sex stuff. I’m not tracking the interface and gameplay elements (almost entirely done) and the lines characters yell in battle when they attack, use skills, take damage, etc. (very little of that is done).

    • Yeeeah… So I had a huge backlog of monster girl games to play and I assumed I’d find a couple to recommend. Didn’t happen. The only good parts to the games I’ve been playing require knowing Japanese…. Then the Fallen Maidens game sucked.

    When this thing is completely translated, I’m thinking of writing a mod with some consensual and egalitarian sex scenes, and maybe even happy ends with various monster party members.
    Would anybody else be interested in helping with that? There’s a lot of monster girls to write for.

    • Anonymous permalink

      One of the main appeals for MGQ is the femdom aspect. Yes, it’s generally a result of the rape itself, but it’s one of the main factors of why this game is so appealing. I also doubt you have experience with RPGMaker and coding in general, not to mention there’s already someone doing a similar mod and adding their own monsters and dialogue as well. In short, even if you find people who want to write for your mod, I doubt there will be much of an audience.

      • Civildeviation permalink

        Wish ya the best of luck Chuck.

        Don’t suppose there is a more exact term for this sexual interest than femdom or reverse rape is there?

        I’ve been frustrated to find that femdom usually encompases female dominating females in BDSM. Reverse rape on the other hand seems to only be used in Japanese converted gaming industry.

      • Wobby Wobman permalink

        Yo Civildevation, reverse rape, or rather 逆レイプ is the term used in Japan. I don’t think there’s an exact equivalent for this in western porn, but then again, I don’t really see the kind of reverse rape you see in japanese porn in western porn all that much.

        It’s *not* just used in Hentai, it’s used in regular japanese porn as well, for stuff like this.

        >One of the main appeals for MGQ is the femdom aspect. Yes, it’s generally a result of the rape itself, but it’s one of the main factors of why this game is so appealing

        Consensual/egalitarian doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t ‘femdom’ in flavour, since he’s here playing MGQ in the first place he was probably describing something like the girl-specific ending cutscenes of Desire Dungeon as well as the “victory” scenes (which are still more femdom than not)

        If you haven’t played Desire Dungeon, instead just imagine the various loss scenes in Harpy Village from MGQ1 and replace Luka with someone who whines about his situation a bit less. That’s probably what the OP means

    • Incubusknight permalink

      I just use the Chrome translation app.
      It’s not perfect but you can get the gist of what’s being said. If someone want’s to actually translate it then great but until then here’s the actual post with chrome translator.

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      During too long, … because it Kangaemono also the blog update stagnates
      will introduce the mystics who also face showed in the previous chapter again.

      – Quetzalcoatl once there had been faith in the land of the jungle as a “snake god of the sun.” Like the Sphinx, who is one of the “ancient of God,” which had been revered in each district. In fact it is not a God, not only integrally giants monster boasted a power in ancient times. After the Holy Demon War, the records and lore by goddess alias was away buried. Quetzalcoatl will come committed to play a man of human beings. If grabbed her, it would be insulted to become tattered.

      · Tezcatlipaca presence that is a false god to combat Quetzalcoatl. In fact is not a God, integral mighty ghost that existed in ancient times. After the Holy Demon War, the tradition was to leave buried again. It mystics of Jaguar, but the person is convinced yourself that it is a cat. If grabbed the Tezcatlipaca, it will be brought in forcibly copulation. Surprisingly I am friendly, it might be tied to marriage.

      Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipaca is bad very relationship. It has been engaged in a clash since ancient times, but the settlement does not seem to still attached. Once have been two-body with God phase fight with full force, come waging a fight to the hero Luke with its reserve capacity.

      In the future, the blog update is scheduled to become irregular. Also there is a large movement, it will be from dawn the year. Apart from the “Monmusu RPG”, it will cause great surprise everyone next year there is also (of course a good way) Notice. Slowly and carefully stored the energy this year, please wait for the next year.

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      So just to summarize it’s just a bio for the two new characters and Torotoro saying updates will come randomly but we’ll have some good “surprises” in store for us in 2017.

      • They are both from the first part and introduced in Puppeteer Tower.
