I still need someone to place the love heart back into the original game texture font.  Can anyone here do that for me? I can tell you which entries to edit.

All I can do is send you this picture (7th row, 3rd column):

Hi there, newbie on the forums here. What character should I replace with the heart? Do you use the original, unmodified PC font?

I already up-rezzed the musical note and the heart for the Spanish project, so just tell me where to put'em and I'll send you the font.

The pound sign and that other (I forget its name).  As you can see, I use 2 lovehearts with Retranslation (to give it some personality).  If you would, use the loveheart glyph from the original font.  Half its size, and place it in roughly the same places as the ones above. The loveheart needs to be in all colours.

Also, maybe let us all know how you do it :)

Green_Goblin... I see you have also edited the font?  Then maybe you can also add the 2 lovehearts as above?

Just watched the mural room.

"A treasury of a knowledge" would sound better as "A treasure trove of knowledge"

"It summons a small rock drifting in space" doesn't sound as threatening to the planet as a large rock drifting in space.  Small rock comes off as being a pebble
 
Perhaps, but I think by the standards of a planet, it is a small rock.  But I agree with you that it doesn't work as well as just "large rock".  I'll look into this line again with Luksy.  As for the treasure trove...  I think I avoided using it because Hojo also uses it in another scene.  Wanted to mix it up.  Also, Treasury sounded less verbose and more like Sep... i dunno, it just feels slightly better there.
 
Yeah, I'll amend it.  You can see where that's gone wrong from the Japanese, even in Google Translate:

{AERIS}
「究極の破壊魔法メテオ」{NEW}
「宇宙をただよっている小さな星を
　魔法の力で呼びよせるの」

{AERIS}
"Ultimate destruction magic Meteor" {NEW}
A small star that drifts the "Space
And the lapping call a magic power "

"Small celestial object", but it's clear to a Japanese person we are talking about a "small planet" .. that kinda vibe.  So Small rock misses this meaning.  At least, that's what I think.  We can't use "Small planet / star" of course, because it isn't a planet or star.  We have to give it the exact meaning... I chose rock. You could also say that it summons a small comet, but I don't think that's what they are getting at.  It's probably just better to go with "Large rock" here.

What say Luksy?

ps.  This is yet another example of FF7 / Japanese vs English limitation.  FF7 uses the same Kanji for planet, star, celestial object.

Honestly, I kind of like small planet better than large rock.  But either way, really.

While we're on it, is it definitely called Meteor?  A meteor is a shooting star, implying that once it enters the earth's atmosphere it will burn up.  Seems like Comet or Asteroid would be a more accurate name.
 
Wouldn't this somehow fit better?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid

As I see it, Meteo isn't a planet but a meteor or a large rock drifting through outer space... but not a comet either, so... either asteroid or planetoid maybe?
Well, there's always that old theory (that was confirmed in AC) of Jenova traveling through the universe on a planetoid to corrupt the planet's lifestreams, lol.

But I could be all wrong. If you go all literal it doesn't make sense, though.

PS: I saw you mentioned here Honeywood (Richard Honeywood?) on the バレット<->Bullet note. Where did that come from? I'd like to see myself.
As a side note, did you try finding scans of that japanese book I mentioned before? Does any of you know where to find scans of that? Because I don't.
But there's always the chance to buy it if you live in Japan I guess...
 
It's called Meteor (it's in English), but it's just a large rock that gets summoned. A meteor doesn't always burn up... a meteor is simply a rock that has entered the atmosphere, so the name is accurate.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolide  A bolide IS a meteor.  Common usage of meteor is any rock that enters the atmosphere, and when it lands it is often called an impactor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impactor Can't use planet, because it isn't a planet - nowhere near.  It would be completely inaccurate.  The only things we could use are asteroid or large rock.  Perhaps Asteroid is a better localization.

I've no idea where the scans can be found - your best bet is  a Japanese person.  As for Honeywood, check NeoGAF, there is a thread there that has a link to an interview.  If you can't find it, I'll look for you.

'Planetoid' is also used for larger asteroids. Comet specifically refers to objects with a 'gravitationally unbound atmosphere' which can be seen as the solar wind lights them up (which is why their tail won't necessarily point in the direction that they're traveling). Meteor is definitely too small to refer to the thing that Sephiroth summons, since they range in size from pebbles to boulders.

Also an interesting tidbit, 'meteor' specifically refers to meteoroids that are getting stripped of their outer layers by going through our atmosphere (they then become 'meteorites' when they land and cool off). So in that sense, a meteor spell that can be used in combat and summons flaming rocks from the sky is aptly named. Sephiroth is dropping a comet or an asteroid on the planet :P
 
The bolide that wiped out the dinosaurs was around 12 KM diameter and was either a comet or an asteroid.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_impactor

Meteor doesn't have to have a "size", there's a common usage to the word that isn't set in stone (heh heh).  Plus, it's the name the Japanese team have specifically chosen.

Can you share it with me, please?

Here you go. I'll delete this from the hosting as soon as you pick them up.

You'll need to edit the character size to 6 on both characters so they fit.

As about the way to do it, I inject the content via TileMolester. For me, it's the only way to keep the font and battle files compatibles with the 98 version. A bit of a pain in the ass, though.

I think you're thinking of meteoroid.  Meteors disintegrate in the atmosphere.  Meteoroids hit the ground and become meteorites.
 
The thing is, though, even in popular culture and on news sites you will frequently see even those that have impacted called "meteors".  From a science pov, I'm not sure if it can be accurate, but from everyday usage, it's definitely used.  Even if it's totally wrong, it would just be yet another example of the shoddy naming in VII.... like "Soldier".

http://nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/space/meteorites-dust/meteor-impacts/index.html

One of many sites where a meteor is said to have impacted. But yeah, you'll see "meteorite" used more commonly for the fragment, like above.  Still... Meteor is a cooler name for it.  And it never does land :P
