Thanks for the encouragement everyone!
I've been working through some alignment issues and tweaks. The "Battle of [castle name]" messages at the beginning of each battle had never shown up, but I didn't consider it important enough to look into until now. Turns out that text uses an entirely new text routine drawn of the PS1's system font. That brings BGE's number of distinct font routines to the insane number of 5. I spent a whole day rigging a new variable width routine for this text. It's still not very good because the BIOS font is designed for fixed width. Good enough I hope.
I still have a lot of text alignment to re-check and the movies.
HwitVlf do you think in translate another game after this?
Not anytime soon. I actually am more interested in making games and I'd like to spend time on that for awhile.
