			One if not the first 2D RPGs released for the Sega Saturn way back in 1995 and still looks good now 9 years later.  Magic Knight Rayearth is based on the anime of the same name and even features the original voice talents from the anime as well as cut scenes.  Our three girls adventure starts out as a normal school trip to Tokyo Tower when suddenly they find them selves falling to the ground only to appear in Sefiro, a magical world of mystery and adventure.  The three girls are told that only they can save Sefiro by Kurefu who gives them the powers of the three elements.  Hikaro Shido (the main red haired character) becomes a user of fire, Umi Ryuzaki (blue haired heroine) becomes a user of water whilst finally the soft hearted and shy Fuu Houoji (green haired heroine) becomes a user of wind.  Our heroine's make many friends on their journey including a cute little white rabbit type creature called Mokona (^v^)  Of course when there's heroes there's enemies and Magic Knight Rayearth is no exception.





Magic Knight Rayearth is one of those RPGs were you really become one with the characters and actually feel sadness when something terrible happens.  This is what I believe makes a good RPG.  I've played so many RPGs that I couldn't care less about if the characters died or what ever but in Magic Knight you'll find yourself hoping for the best to happen to your heroine's.  Magic Knight not only boasts a solid story with some well done cut scenes from the actual anime but also an amazing soundtrack being produced by the Saturn's amazing Yamaha sound processor.  Some of the tunes are truly remembered.  The visuals in Magic Knight Rayearth are also way above average for a 9 year old game and still look good compared to some of the Dreamcast's more modern 2D RPGs.  I've played and finished Magic Knight Rayearth three times over the last 9 years.  First in Japanese then the US God Awful edited and badly dubbed version and then again in Japanese.  There's not many RPGs that I'd play more than once so Magic Knight Rayearth must be good !  By the way, it's nothing like the crappy Super Famicom Versions by Tomy.

I am confused...Is this a re-translation?

 Rep_Plus_^-^ Dec 20, 2009
Magic Knight Rayearth UJ based on U release, but with major differences:

- japanesse audio (music, in-game voices, voice acting, ...),

- videos are from J release- better picture quality and of course no more crappy english voices,

- scripts are in english from U release (translation by Working Designs),

- diary is in english, but do not contains anymore crappy english voices,

- game has the same number of cut-scenes with speeches as in U release (in J release is more),

- you can skip any video pressing the start button, you can do more saves(=5) than in J release(=3),

- saves from UJ, U and J are compatible together, if you have files from J release just press on "Empty File", load one time it, and name of the save file in the next time will be displaying correctly in english...

Is everything more clear ?

 ExCyber Dec 20, 2009
I think I've seen this sort of thing called an "undub"; basically the idea is to take a localized English release and put the Japanese speech back in.

 Amon Dec 21, 2009
Awww, I was hoping for a re-translation. Apparently working designs did a horrible job. They screwed up on a bunch of name translations and what not apparently. I was hoping this would fix that

 lahana Jul 17, 2014
any chance of the new links?

 dibz Jul 22, 2014
No idea. The originals were never hosted at SX, just the now defunct megaupload.

There is the "Magic Knight Rayearth Undub" floating around, and also much much easier to come by, they're not the same release though.

Damn it, it seems like that this version is lost forever...

it should be this one :

but the release date could mean it's the previous version (10/10/2009)

 Wesker Jan 28, 2018
Yeah, that's the previous version. The so called "UJ Final Version [Region Free]" seems like it wasn't preserved outside the old/deleted links and the user who did it is nowhere to be found.

Sounds to me like this would have to be redone again, although the real improvement the Final Version did was having the map screen text from the localized verison of instead of the Japanese one, it seems.

 Ms. Tea Jan 29, 2018
There are a few more things I'd love to see in a hypothetical future revision. Especially...

It would be great to be able to restore all the voice acting from the Japanese release! The voices are still on the disc; it'd take some editing of the script file to reenable playing them.

 Ms. Tea Mar 17, 2018
Yep, that's right! The English version has voice acting in the intro and a couple of cutscenes, while the Japanese version has voice acting throughout the entire game for every named character.

 Ms. Tea Mar 18, 2018
Not a stupid question at all!

Neither option is easier or harder than the other. Both versions of the game include all of the voice files. What needs to be updated is the script files, since the English version's scripts removed the references to the voices.

 LTH Mar 25, 2018
I think what is most useful would be adding English subtitles to the FMV cutscenes so that the plot is easier to follow. That would make this version preferable over the WD release.

 Ms. Tea Mar 25, 2018
The video encoder I'm talking about here... should eventually make it possible to add subtitles to the FMVs.

 Solitario Nov 13, 2019
Does anyone have the link of this version?

I'm searching all over to find this release. So far, I found this SegaHub thread that contains MediaFire links in addition to the MegaUpload ones, but they're dead. I'm going to keep hunting and I'll update this thread if I turn anything up.

I don't believe so. I'm sure the best chances are finding someone with a burned copy hidden in a stack/cd-wallet somewhere, or just convincing someone to "re-do" it.

Hi, I've burnt the UJ Final Version years ago. Turns up the disc is still working. I don't know if this is what you are looking for, so I did a rip and uploaded it here: MKR-UJ-Final-RegionFree...
