Need help ripping Fantasia Re:Build sounds - sherrasama - 11-16-2021
I am admittedly very new to this business, and I was following a reddit thread on how to extract the files in the game, which has gone very well up until this point. And yes, I have also already asked the reddit poster, but I figured I've cover all my bases, since I got a lot more information off this website while I was poking around.
I've gotten as far as extracting the game data, and the sound files are .acb/.awb, which I used VGMToolbox to unpack, it splits them into .hca and .bin files. The thing is, both sets of files are all 0 bytes, and running them through HCA Decoder doesn't produce anything at all. I also tried installing Foobar with the vgmstream components and tried playing the .hca files that way, nada.
I am positive there is a step I am missing somewhere, but I just don't know my way around things enough to know what I am missing, so any help would really appreciated. Some sample files and a screenshot here.
Thanks in advance for your time.
