The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure - Collective Improvements Version 3
Preface:
In regards to "Version 3", I was debating on whether or not I would release this. The purpose of "Final" was to actually mean it and be my final update. Final2 happened because TheTwitGamer created a new version of his title screen, and out of respect I thought, why not one more small update, it's an easy plug. But then I found out Hopyoprop was working on it as well as a passion project, fixing small things while going along which is basically what I was doing. We merged our work and ended up fixing even more things. Later Wazhai started offering suggestions and testing and also made a few changes of his own. So together our combined work creates "Version 3", and I really do hope this is the last. Enjoy! And do keep in mind I still don't consider this a "proper" localization, so let's hope it goes even beyond this eventually. :)
Information:
Contains various updates for Trails to Azure. Not everything matches Geofront Zero changes, but some effort has gone into this. This is not a replacement for a "proper" mod/localization in the future, and this was not an attempt to fix all the issues the game has. Hoping someday someone updates the game properly. But for now, this actually makes the experience quite enjoyable as it improves on tons of stuff. The list of changes mentioned here is not an exhaustive list, there have been far too many to document.

This update was designed for and should be able to update even a legitimate install of the game to include all of the latest English updates that have been created by various people over time. For obvious reasons, this does NOT include the translated movie, the voice files, and the original music files. While some effort went into rewriting stuff, I did not bother to fix all strange sounding English in all files. This would be a tremendous undertaking, one that a single person can't accomplish in a short time.
Installation:
- Copy all contents of "copy_all_to_game_folder" to the Azure installation directory and overwrite.
- Run "patch_ao_exe.bat" to patch "ED_AO.exe" and "config.exe" with the latest changes.
