At least two other translation groups, Phantasian Productions and Absolute Zero, have tried and failed to finish their own translations. This is not the first attempt to translate ToDDC. ToDDC was one of three 'main' Tales games released on PS2 that did not come to the US, presumably because they shared a graphical style of 2D sprites on 3D backgrounds with hand-painted textures. It is the second full-blown 'remake' in the series, following Tales of Phantasia's PlayStation 1 release.

It is a complete, ground-up remake of the original, with all new graphics, modernized gameplay, a rewritten script, and a parallel second quest that allows you to play from Leon's viewpoint. It borrows much of the style and gameplay from Tales of Rebirth, one of the mainline titles of the series that was left in Japan. Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut is a 2008 remake of the 1997 PlayStation title, the second in the long-running Tales of. This is not an official trailer, this is a fan project, but it's presented like one to be cute. It doesn't seem like they are going to declare any particular release a '1.0', but are instead calling it a 'first draft,' and plan to update in the future. So this actually soft-launched a few weeks ago, but I haven't seen any discussion of it, but it's gotten quite a few updates in the meantime and is now pretty damn close to 100% (they claim it's like 99.9%, good luck finding the 0.1%).
