Hey, I’m working on something right now that requires me to have access to the Japanese in-battle voice lines from Xenosaga Episode 1. All of the equivalent English lines have been ripped by somebody on Sounds Resource, but I have yet to figure out how they did so, and I’m not certain how to do it myself. I’ve extracted all the game files using the Xenosaga Disc Tools, but I do not know how to read the actual audio files that the program outputs.
I would really prefer not to scour gameplay footage for the voice lines, so if someone more well-informed than me could let me know how the game’s audio files work I would appreciate it a lot!
I think these need to be converted from a proprietary format. It’s been a long time since I monkied with the XSI kit, if I recall there’s a conversion tool in there that works for the video and audio but it was made for a FIFA game. But I’m working on a companion kit to the II/III one that should address some of this.
The new kit should handle both the scoop of the old disc tolls and the file conversions for audio.
I won’t raw post the audio but if you have an iso file and legal copy of the game, I have verified the voice lines get extracted/converted to mp4 clips that pair with cutscenes.
Most music is a sound font.
Edit: one caveat that I tested on a US copy of the iso. Let me know if you try it on a Japanese one and get an error.
