Technical impossibilities aside, converting the new patch to the old one would make it at least a 5GB+ download (Think the large files archive, but many more files). This download would need to be updated weekly, fixed, checked for new updates, and all the current issues we had that prevented new translations from being done most of the time.
This isn't anything personal. I (and a few others I know) simply want nothing to do with the tweaker. I personally don't like any third-party addons that actually read/write anything to game memory, and last time I used it you couldn't opt-out of any of them.. it simply downloaded them and put them in a separate folder.
You have
always been able to opt-out of using all the plugins. If you don't enable any plugins, nothing third party is loaded. It's always been this way.
For two of my friends, the tweaker re-downloaded the entire game when it was updated a while back and they were told to find their PSO2 install again. The entire game.
I'll be the first to admit the updating methods are not 100% perfect, but if the data was already downloaded, you would have just needed to repoint the Tweaker to it. Maybe it was the Tweaker's fault. Maybe it was an old bug. Maybe it was user error. I doubt we'll know now, nor does it really matter at this point.
You also regularly push updates to the program because you keep trying to fix things that aren't broken, and when you push one update there's usually three or four right afterwards because it turns out you broke something and then are scrambling to re-fix it.
This has happened once, perhaps twice over the years. This is
normal for this kind of development. I don't have a large testing base with various versions of Windows/computers/languages/hard drives to test these things on, and sometimes things do slip by. I am only human. I push updates to the program to fix bugs and issues, and come out with new features. You don't
have to update if you want to wait for a bit (or forever), it's optional.
I just want to play the game with english menus. I don't need a glossy MSPaint interface telling me to download cool plugins so I can read the word "Monomate," I just want to translate the menus without any third-party memory editing going on.
You claim it's not personal, then say things like this?

Agreed, and apologies for responding. I simply wanted to clear some things up.
EDIT: Based on feedback (such as this), we're trying to see if we can come up with a solution -right now- that works for everyone. We asked for time to look into it, but people took that as "it's never coming", so we've pushed things back to work on it now.
