Here's a thought: It's expensive because the company needs money to fund these releases. It wouldn't be so expensive if they actually had more people buying them. Once they can start selling things and making money, the prices on later releases will go down. They've said this before.

Apparently, /jp/ feels that the world owes it free professional VN translations, though. You'd be waiting years for the fan translation if not for them.

A few differences:

- A Doujin release that was made cheaply by someone in their free time
- Was originally sold in four parts (and hence really cost people at the time four times as much)
- Didn't have licensing costs
- Didn't have the costs of hiring translators and the other people who worked on commercially releasing it.
- Wasn't selling to an extremely niche fanbase, half of which REFUSES TO BUY THINGS THEY LIKE.

Kind of hard for them to make money, considering the people around here.

Which wasn't their fault, really. The music was because the license holders didn't actually have any license for the music Ryukishi stole. And they explained the rest...

Music room: "Because a few BGMs/SEs were replaced, the original license holder requested that we remove this feature as part of our adaptation of Higurashi."

Mini-game: "This was removed because of technical issues as well as copyright issues with some characters from other companies who have a cameo appearance in the minigame. In the original game they were used without permission, and we have not received permission to use them either, so the minigame was removed."

Staff Room: "The Staff Room section is similar to a diary for Ryukishi, and contains various topics relating to games, products, and other material during the time he worked on Higurashi. Since we have no permission for any of the games or products he discussed, this section was removed as well."

What, you think translating VNs is an intelligent business proposition? It's nuts. They're trying to make it viable.

Personally, I think they should have subtly encouraged us to do whatever we want with the music, and reinsert the original tracks, by having a BGM folder like the original game did. Seems like they aren't that awesome, though. Too bad, because you'd think they wouldn't care.

I agree with this.
It doesn't need to be perfect, you do not need to proof it literally twenty something times.
A typo here or there doesn't bother me.

Being delayed by four months because someone incredibly anal retentive doesn't like the way his installer looks does.
Having it delayed for no discernible reason in order to "fix" a part that basically says the exact same thing but slightly differently also does.

In the fan-translation, you'll notice that the VN looks 'too wordy'. I'm not saying it is a bad thing but it will not entice the reader to read further if he's going to stumble upon walls of text.

I think it's a good move to 'simplify' things because it makes the reading faster, while keeping the context intact. Not everyone would want to read walls of text.

Well just my opinion but if something is written well it can be wordy and have good flow. I prefer the fan translation in those comparison pictures, it isn't really THAT wordy but most importantly they actually considered the flow of the sentences rather then just present everything in point form.

It's as if MG is saying "it doesn't matter how it's written, as long as the point gets across". Me, I actually like to enjoy reading and like to draw empathy towards the characters from the flow of the words. Each person speaks a different way, thinks in a different way, ect. It's an important fact for me when I read, so yeah, IMO, flow is important, wordy or not.

Fan-translation is far better in this one. It seems to have more "flavor" in it and, as another another said, it sounds like how a teenager would think.

>>3905703

Fan-translation is better here, too; protagonist seems more like he's genuinely having fun messing with her and gives a little into Rena's character by mentioning how she reacts to what people say in general. In MG's translation, it makes it seem like she's only acting like that towards him for that instance.


These are just three shots, though. I guess I'll take MG's translation for now since the fan-translation isn't finished (from what I know going by you guys) and because the replacement music is supposedly superior. But I'll go for fan-translation for more flavorful and all the extra features retained that MG removed for some reason.
