I am still depressed over having missed my limited editions when they were released in Japan.

But I guess there was 1-2 that I thought I could have wanted, even though it is only 1 that I am actually a bit depressed about.
No matter the case though, Good Smile don't reprint limited figurines, don't they? hence limited.

So I guess it isn't much of an issue anymore. But what are the chances of Jast even doing some kind of bundle with any of them? Somewhat slim, aren't they?

I am still thrilled over it being physical copies though. I still, to this day, can't really find myself to buy "nothing". Kind of anoying with the growth of digital only services.

The translation feels incredibly amateurish, which might be ok for a FanTL but definitely not for a product you want people to pay for.

It's really a shame. I bought it expecting a at least semi-professional translation, but instead I got shoddy editing and more spelling mistakes than I can possibly count.

I am working on it. None had thought of it when I was working on it.

No matter the case though, it is undoubtly the
Hanachirasu logo, but I have never seen that poster with the logo on it, anywhere, so I actually doubt that's it, unless any of you can find it. But yes, the logo, no doubt.

And the sixth one? While it certainly wouldn't suprise me if it was Demonbane, I still can't figure out which part of what would be it though, the others weren't that hard, but this one, aside from being blurry, is too, single colored. Which for one part, could speak for Demonbane, considering how it is mostly in the same scale close to white, but it doesn't make it any easier to figure out what part. Is somewhere close to the upper right of the original cover?

Isn't it somewhat plausible that the sixth one isn't Nitro+ at all?

That's of course if they expected the fans to solve it, which they should have.

I wouldn't mind buying Saya no Uta at all. It's a game people love, and people would actually get a box for it.

MangaGamer, however, is fucking up badly by releasing Ef. No one gave a shit about that game to begin with, and me and anyone else who actually wanted to play that game has already played it.

I actually talked to one of the retards at MangaGamer supporting that decision and he said "Well, you should buy it to support the company." What kind of business decision involves hoping people will buy something out of pity?

My problem with Sumaga was the way it was written, the concept/story were okay.

Hello, World didn't have that problem, despite being fucking HUGE it was really enjoyable to read and Kazuki's narration was a riot.

They still have Sumaga, which is great. No need to be a prude and say it doesn't compare.

But I can't help to go all nostalgia over Hello World, the excitement I could still feel back then, that was special. And coupled with Hello World to be able to bring that out, that alone have granted it a special place in my hall of fame.

But there is nothing to say that they won't be able to release the others if these do well. It might perhaps even be possible that it's enough that Sumaga does well. If things don't go worse than expected we might see Muramasa and some other titles in a few years.

To be honest, I believe "that problem" falls down to preferences and opinions.
I could see people rather indifferent to it to still like the work for all the other stuff.
And people who actually like that sort of stuff, to love it even more.

Too bad really, that it doesn't float your boat. But Hello World is still mighty amazing, so no loss there.

Different tastes, I suppose.
The pacing in Hello, World was kind of touch and go and overall it seemed a little dated. And I actually liked Sumaga's writing too. Some of the jokes fall flat, but a good number were genuinely amusing. And the whole thing just had this style that was really fun and endearing.

They're both amazing games, of course. Easily the best Nitro+ games next to Muramasa.

most of those Nitro+ projects have an already existing fantranslation, are in process of being translated like Sumaga (last I heard they were over 3/4 of the script) or are just plain short like Django.
It might seem a lot of projects but at the end of the day there's comparatively little work (and so few expenses) involved.
I guess Jingai Makyou will come when they feel ready for a big project again.

Anonymous Mon Jun 27 14:09:27 2011 No.7539912

While the Nitro+ titles might be easy to translate games (as they all either have a fan translation, or are short), it still is noteworthy that Nitro+ is allowing 5 more of their games to be sold now. One would have to think that means that Nitro+ must have been damn happy with how well Demonbane did in order to allow for all these titles.

It's a sure bet that all the Japanese companies are watching how Nitro+'s and MG companies are going, especially with declining revenue in Japan. While Mangagamer's sales have been disappointing thus far, they have been slowly growing, but still nothing that makes other companies all that interested in the west. However, here we have a major company being impressed by overseas sales, so much that they allow not just a couple new titles to come over, but 5 titles at once, means that other companies will take note that if done right, there is the ability to profit while selling eroge overseas. I would expect new companies to start seriously looking overseas for revenue to compensate for their declining domestic sales as we go forward.

Yes. It's very unique, has brilliant music and an awesome ending to name some good points. Basically it's the best shit ever if you happen to like scifi+(spaghetti) Western. It's kind of like Firefly's or Trigun's world to some extent. Easily the best game Urobuchi has worked on, in my opinion.

Obviously Nitro+ didn't decide to let 5 games get official releases because they were disappointed by sales.

As far as getting other companies to localize their games, it's a big step, but My Girlfriend is the President, Spirit of the Eternity Sword (especially if it ends up on stream), and School Days should be more impressive, since all of these look like they should be successful if Demonbane was able to be successful

No matter what the others are on about, I do think it was the case how N+ felt that Demonbane's engine was too old and dated for a crowd who wasn't introduced to it at its release.

As others have pointed out, that's a MangaGamer title, not a JAST title, and it will be released tomorrow.
It took so long because they had to port the game to a different engine to make the important Notebook feature work in English, as well as the failed voice negotiations. They tried to get the agency to be reasonable, but they insisted on asking fees multiple times the total revenue of MG's top-selling games.

Most likely different original licensing deal where developers actually had full rights to use the voices as they please. Navel and Circus probably expect to port & recycle their games ad infinitum, so more control over the voices is profitable on the long run.
IG on the other hand outsourced a lot of work, leading to licensing issues.

If JAST is serious enough about Nitro+ to release three already translated shorts and two full games, there is absolutely no way they wouldn't be holding onto Muramasa with everything they had.

It just means it's going to take forever. However, I'd probably place it right after this just-revealed release cycle, since I don't think any other N+ games have such an advanced translation currently. I'd suspect MAYBE gekkou no carnivale later too, as it had a fair amount of translation. After that, who knows

Ignoring how some people certainly would feel the need to jump on you for implying you aren't one.

I thought I could share an idea of mine. In my own experience, "relating" isn't always the most important even if it can intensify the feel of something by quite a bit.
But by not relating, you gain the chance to observe, something I would argue is often more interesting the more extreme "non-relatable" things are. Then again, this might perhaps be the case as long as there is some sense of realism/seriousness to it. Something can easily became "unrelatable" simply from being far too out there, or simply by being whacky. In these cases one might argue that there is little to gain from observation.

But ignoring all the unrealistic/fantasy stuff of Chaos;Head, the protagonist's problems are still rooted in very real problems that some people actually have.

There must be a very small niche of media that you enjoy if every protagonist needs to be someone you can relate to, that's not what makes a good story good.

There was nothing wrong with Demonbane's translation.
Just what more do you expect people to do really? The exact same thing, except with no official companies involved, so that you don't have to fear them wrecking the translation over the fan-translators wrecking it?

Demonbane, was fine. They are also working together with the fan-translators, and so far, you have very little reason to assume that they would make the translations any worse than they would be otherwise, considering their current lineup is fine so far.

If I were you I would worry more over Ixrec not getting enough editing or, or Mangagamer losing the rights for voices and placing deadlines too tight to leave room for quality control.

There was nothing wrong with it as far as fantranslations goes. Or rather, VN translations in general. "nothing wrong" does strictly put imply something perfect, but obviously it only means that nothing was wrong in this context, for what it is.

Are saying that from a perspective of someone who knows Japanese, and has played the game in its original language or someone who played the English translation, and considers the translation perfect within context because he thought it was simply readable?

Demonbane was tolerable as a decent localization since the setting was Western based, but I wouldn't call it a decent translation because to me localizing is a negative. I haven't picked on on others, but there was one screw up near the end with "lolicon", so it being perfect in either context or localization is false

I assume "if" and if what I said does happen, then for sure it will be worst because it'll be a localization, something JAST likes to do. I'd love to be wrong, and I hope I will be.

Since it's Ixrec, I'm not worried, but since Moogy is involve, I naturally worry, and I will later. But right now... I'm more worried about JAST's influence over the fan translation of Seinarukana. MG is hopeless when it comes to budget, so worrying is needless.

>localization
I don't think you use this term for what it legally is, with aquiring licenses and publishing stuff in new regions.
You might be thinking of woolseyism and things like it.

One thing though, that caught me off guard. You worry about stuff like this, but you trust Ixrec, really? Now, I respect Ixrec for the work he is doing, but the amount of grave mistakes he dishes out in his translations are almost incredible at times. Were it not for how he is actually showing both progress, and promise as far as his understanding of Japanese goes, then he would possibly be flamed much harder.
At least there are editors for such stuff, but one can only trust editors so and so much with end results, one can't give trust them to save everything if noithing is done beforehand.

I somehow get the impression you rather seek extra carefully for what you could consider to be flaws, only because you saw "JAST" being involved.
I still think, that thinking that the fantranslations would be glorious, and that the fantranslations through JAST are automatically going to be worse and bastardized. There is even the chance of them being better due to extra editing/proofreading.

Different definition within different groups and communities. Localization = shifting the setting/reality/language to match the targeted language's familiar reality. Essentially, it's westernization.

Grave? I don't recall people hyping his mistakes to be that bad. To me, Ixrec is a decent TL, and more than anything, for me, his translation style is preferable. I don't recall his mistakes to be major or numerous, and isn't enough to ruin a translation. Also, majority of them can be smoothed out by good editors. I rather have a translation that's preferable with some grammar/wording problem than a one that's undesirably localized and often with liberal editing.

For me, being localized and liberal subs are the biggest flaws that I can't stand. Grammar mistakes and such are flaws too, but as long as the translation is readable, and makes sense, then I can easily overlook and fix those flaws myself.

But demonbane isn't needlessly westernized. It wasn't needlessly adapted to the region.
A "localization" company isn't a company that takes and twists something, it is a company that makes something "local". To westernize and all that are optional marketing/tranlation choices, for the workt o better suit the target audience.
The Phoenix Wright games were localized when brought over and translated, they were "westernized" when they switched the 60s-80s old-pop culture references to old western pop culture instead, as none would have any idea of what they were referencing otherwise.
Likewise, G-Senjou was translated and made available (though "localization" traditionally implies an official method of distribution.) but was "westernized" when they changed mixie out for twitter.

Also Ixrec occasionally fucks up quite a bit. It have happened on numerous occasions that he have even turned around the meaning of what is being said.
Like "I should visit you some time sometime." mirrored "You should visit me soon."
It no longer have the same meaning at all, but this could still be considered a minor error compared to some other stuff.

To edit for Ixrec is tough. To edit for say, Taka-Jun is requires a bit of work as one needs to straighten out the English, granted, Ixrec doesn't have that problem. But Taka-Jun at least has a firm grip on his Japanese, and he is proficient enough to convey what he meant with his translations with a bit of discussion, unless he simply succeeded at doing so with the first draft(s).
But you basically have to re-translate huge part of Ixrec's scripts. Ixrec is great and all for being a learner and showing steady progress, and you know, for actually working. But the end result isn't exactly always polished, and lots slips through due to the work and capabilities needed to fix it during editing.
