**TLTR**: [Link](https://www.mediafire.com/folder/fmgqzrqbpt6ge/Persona_5_Royal) to audio and text files from Persona 5 Royal.

Persona 5 Royal is coming up shortly on new Platforms such as PC, PS5, and switch. It’s regarded as one of the best video games of all time, is set is modern japan and has hours of dialogue, which makes for good practice.
Over the years, I [collected](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ukDIWSkh_xvpppPbgs1nUR2kaEwFaWlsJgZUlb9LuTs/edit#gid=0) transcripts over the internet, or dumped some games myself, however I’m not tech savy enough to do it for this one. So hopefully some people can help me.
This is the [link](https://www.mediafire.com/folder/fmgqzrqbpt6ge/Persona_5_Royal) for the files. At least all the scenes dialogue. They are BMD files. One for each event, each event containing a few lines of dialogues. [PersonaEditor](https://github.com/Meloman19/PersonaEditor/releases) can allow you to see them. It should also allow you to export all the text, but you need to use the command line I think, and that’s what I can’t figure out.
Ideally, someone can export the text with the ID / headers. I could take it from here to have a spreadsheet with japanese and english text side by side. That could also be done with other languages.
The sound files should be easier. They’re in AWB format. That can be converted in OPUS files with foobar. I’ve done it before, but for some reason, it doesn’t work here on my end.
I should be able to put text and sound files together to create and share the Anki deck as long as they have the same name.
Is there anyone who can help in this endeavour ?

Here’s the text files, I don’t know enough about the sound so hopefully somebody else can help with that: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PlbuSEtWsrYSONPWmu9jgUf5-J6rH1vs/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PlbuSEtWsrYSONPWmu9jgUf5-J6rH1vs/view?usp=sharing)
Note that I noticed there’s some interesting problems in some of these files that may need to be further refined. Some characters or sets of characters show up as irregular symbols, some formatting is done using pairs of symbols such as `{0A}` and there are japanese text files in here but I couldn’t find a file encoding the japanese files were happy with, all of the kanji are “unknown” characters which is not great if you actually want that information.
Here’s the commands I did to generate them if you’re curious (Powershell), could be more refined maybe:
$files = Get-Childitem -Recurse -Force *.BF
ForEach ($file in $files) {./PersonaEditor/PersonaEditorCMD.exe $file -expall}
$files = Get-Childitem -Recurse -Force *.BMD
ForEach ($file in $files) {./PersonaEditor/PersonaEditorCMD.exe $file -expptp}
$files = Get-Childitem -Recurse -Force *.PTP
ForEach ($file in $files) {./PersonaEditor/PersonaEditorCMD.exe $file -exptext}
And then I simply moved the txt files into new directories to clean up the mess. Hope this helps!
