Translate the Staff Roll (credits) #60

Description

@Blaziken257

Naturally, at the end of Medarot 4, a staff roll appears. This can be accessed from the debug menu as the 19th option from the top (スタッフロール). It can also be accessed by directly editing C480-C481 to 2A 00. Some unique things about this game's staff roll:

Throughout the entire staff roll, there is a fancy graphical effect where the text grows and shrinks from the center. This replaces the vertically stretching text in Medarot 3:

The text produces a gradient effect by applying different palettes:

  • The first and last characters use a dark shade of blue (palette 04: #525294).
  • The second and second-to-last characters use a brighter shade of blue (palette 05: #8c8cc5).
  • All other characters in between use a brighter shade of blue, almost white (palette 06: #ceceff).

The gradient effect might be challenging to recreate with a VWF.

However, each text string has a random red character or two (palette 03: #d60000) for some unexplained reason. This appears to be a stylistic choice, since this also appears in the opening intro (before the title screen). Sometimes the random red character can replace a dark blue character, as seen below (notice the red ン).

Medarot 4 now ends with the grammatically correct "THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!", replacing the Engrish text, "THANK YOU FOR YOUR PLAYING!" that was present in Medarot 3 and Telefang. So this time, this doesn't need to be corrected.

Finally, after that, there is an 64×16 hiragana font that appears:
