Intro

If you play the game by using the Reunion Mod and you enable the new translation option then you will notice that the mod rewrote the whole text of the game. It also changed a lot of the names so the names match the Japanese version of the game. Item names, weapon names, accessory names, location names and so on were changed. For example it says Phoenix Tail instead of Phoenix down. The Reunion Database https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DUjmyW94zcYoX7gIW5yAT4giTPeNmCR4TCaHAiXOLlU/edit#gid=1292658812 lists all the changes that were done.

The problem is that walkthroughs follow the old names and not the new names. You have to keep on checking the Reunion Database to get the old names.

The mod has options to bring back the old names but it is incomplete and it doesn't bring back all the old names.

The mod supports external text files and you can change any text in the game by using external text files. I made external text files which bring back the old names. I am sharing my work so other people can bring back the old names :) You are required to download some files. Please be careful doing that.

How to install the Reunion mod

You can get the Reunion Mod from https://thereunion.live/. Install the game and then install the mod. You can install additional things like SYW. Also you can download mod updates from the Reunion Discord.

How to bring back the old names

You can download my files from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18eqbbYo4bWwaRsfJQSDSBPde6900thvb or from https://mega.nz/folder/IKJWnJ7B#VK0PengeT08IjB_Hm885yg.

Make sure that you read read me.docx so you can see a list of all the changes that I did and the installation instructions.

Please note that there are minor spacing issues like for example not all of the key item names are centered in the second line of the obtained key item message. Also i removed the - from death blow so now it is 2 words. In the box which lists all the materia needed for master command when you examine the yellow huge materia there is a space between each materia name so it looks like death is one materia name and blow is another materia name. The key item names need to be centered in the second line and I need to put a better divider than space in the box which lists all the materia needed for master command.

If you have any questions or you have any problems then please let me know :)
