It is fair to ask: Monster Hunter Freedom Unite got a patch. Final Fantasy Type-0 got a patch. Why not Lord of Apocalypse? Why not Lord of Apocalypse
Square Enix used a proprietary compression algorithm for all story text, item names, and UI strings. Unlike standard PSP games (which often used uncompressed UTF-16 or Shift-JIS), Lord of Apocalypse stored its script in split, indexed files. Expanding the English alphabet (1 byte per character) into Japanese space (2 bytes per character) broke the font table repeatedly. Fixing this required advanced hex-editing far beyond typical fan translation work.
