1999 Fan Translation of Trials of Mana

Neill Corlett, SoM2Freak, Lina`chan, and Nuku-nuku created a fan translation of Trials of Mana, also called Seiken Densetsu 3, in 1999.[1] Neill Corlett handled the ROM hacking, while SoM2Freak handled translation of game terms and a small amount of the script. After SOM2Freak's departure from the project, Lina`chan contacted Neill Corlett and together with Nuku-nuku finished the translation work.[2] Between Trials of Mana's publication in the Japanese market in 1995 and its official localization in 2019, there was no official English-language release: English-speaking fans fell in love with the series by playing this fan translation.
