The Legend of Dragoon I got raws

[walkingghost]

The Legend of Dragoon

Its not in English so I assume it's safe legally to scanlate?
I have the Japanese raws, well I have a hard copy and a scanner.

Anyone wanna translate it it then put it online for the masses?

If this is legal of course (I'm pretty sure it is)


description
Based on the sony rpg game three years in the making the main character is dart

midevil sword/magic/dragon/epic fate elements:gladiator:

It takes elements in the game and changes them to be more realistic and flow.

Ex

sony rpg video game
Hellena prison. In the game Dart sneaks in finds Shana meets Lavits then you fight the big boss who's main attack is a magic boulder throw *some of you may remember playing this*

manga

Hellena prison Dart sneaks in the same way finds Shanna but instead of just finding Lavitz and leaving together. (there were no other prisoners in the game remember?)
Lavits runs in with a revolt of p.o.w.s armed with spears and pikes who just lay waste to the gaurds.

It takes elements in the game and changes them to be more realistic and flow.


fmv from the game

Basically this is the opening to the manga animated

The quality on this one is terrible but it gives you a sense of what to expect from the manga

The manga is done in a more serious, real life fashion. Such as when Dart cuts someone you get the blood spray and they die. Its not like the video game in that sense. Its a translation that follows the story just has to re do some things making it from a video game to a comic. It does it very well by the way.

Sorry the best I could do was crappy cutsceans from the game.
The comic would have spoken for itself but there are no scans or translations that I know of.

Realy hope someone picks this up.

You mean do the manga characters look like the video game characters?
Better:D

I'd like to start by saying I only read a few pages in up to where rose first saves dart from the green dragon (feyerbrand or something) But this is what I got from those pages.

Darts armor is made to look like dragon skin:D how cool is that.
All the faces are right and the coolest part.

You now understand the dialog of the game. I didn't read manga or watch anime when I played this game so I didn't get allot of stuff.
mainly the humor/gestures

The guy also pays great detail to the game he must have played it ALLOT even more than me.

such as the characters will take a stance and you'll be like I REMEMBER THAT FROM THE GAME.

basically just imagine the game magically turned into a manga.

p.s.
Go back and think about the game and you see it really was heavily anime influenced.

pps

My only hang up is im a little bit worried this guy might not have carried the seriouse tone of the game. (it was a war) but i only read the first few pages so he might have just wanted to introduce everything lightly then get more seiouse as it goes on.

Hey, I joined the forums here solely because I saw this thread. PLEASE scan the raws for this -- I've been trying to find it for forever! If you can post them, I will find some way to scanlate them -- I don't care what it takes. I LOVED LoD, and I really need to read this manga!

So consider this a plea of desperation -- please scan the raws!!

PS, sorry for reviving an old-ish thread, but I couldn't let this pass!

Excellent. I assume you're first language is English? So I scan the book with my scanner. Hand em to you you get em translated. And since it's not licensed in the united states we can post it for all to see?

Sorry it took so long to reply. I didn't get one for so long I though noone would do it.

My main concern is the legal issue I don't want to do anything illegal.

Yes, that's how I see it working. My first language is English, and I will translate it as quickly as possible (though I don't know how long that will take -- I am a notorious perfectionist). Once translated, I will return with a glorious, ready-to-read Legend of Dragoon manga! (Actually, I may post in chapters -- that seems more effective).

And yes, since it is unlicensed, there will be no legality troubles, so no worries there!
