>Steins;Gate - 87/175 script files translated
Holy shit they're already past 50% for script translation.
Although there's still CG editting to be done and quality checking.

Needs more green.

So little green, I am disappoint

I just hate it when shitty nukige come out, becquse the climax of a whole week wondering, "What's going to be the picture for the next status thread?" ends up being something like "We Love Master".

>>7705954
Wait, Yosuga no Sora is still being translated? I thought it received a C&D?

I wonder how many people bought we love master. Did they even make a single sale?

>Suihensei Made Nan Mile
Huh, that actually looks enjoyable.
And somewhat pretty.
But did they give up on releasing the trial or what?

>Princess Maker 5- 31% translated

Today is a day to rejoice.

>Osananajimi wa Daitouryou ~ - Should have a bug free version next week, possibly master version by end of the month
I downloaded a copy yesterday. Anyone knows what's the bug all about?

>>7705966
Honestly. How much do those shitty nukige sell? 100 copies? 120 at best?
People who know about this media don't need to buy their porn. There are zillions of doujinshi out there, catering to every conceivable fetish. Why would they spend their monies on MG's products?
Something makes me think the buyers of translated nukige are mostly unlikable people.

>>7706020

>>7706020
something with backlog, japanese locale.

>>7705966
nah. they translate them only to keep mg unprofitable

Half yearl-WHAT.

>Yosuga no Sora - 20%
>To Heart2- 56%

We Love Master is still the best seller right now.

>We Love Master

Should have gotten They Are My Noble Masters.

>>7706217
They might pick that up once the translation is finished. It was around 50% last I checked.

>>7706316
>I have the English patch for Osananajimi wa Daitouryou from erogedownload; is that the leaked version?
No, it's the official version.
What the fuck do you think?

>>7706316
The version floating around the internet is from last year, using unfinished scripts from before Jast announced that they were working on it. So missing will be the uncensored CGs, final versions of scripts, and any problems that there were not addressed (if any).

Who picked this up again?

I'm going to hijack this thread for a question. I remember reading a while back that the way to play untranslated VNs and understand them is to download some sort of program or something that extracts the text and converts it to english.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and if so does it work?

>>7706363
AGTH + Translation Aggregator + ATLAS

I gave you the name, go google it. If you know 0 Japanese you'll have trouble understanding though.

>>7706378
Shit, alright then, thanks

>>7706363
You can use AGTH to extract the text and machine translate it, but you won't really get far unless you already have a pretty firm understanding of the language.
Most people just use it to look up that one kanji every few sentences they have never seen before.

>>7706378
There's also ITH (Interactive Text Hooker) which I assume works with Atlas.

Not long now it seems. About time. They're forcing me to wait a long time for this shitty game.

not to jump the gun, but has anyone showed interest in translating walkure romanze when it comes out?

>>7706945
Will this be another December without angels?

>>7706948
;_;

So happy to see some sora movement.

Its probably not TLWiki, but rather another group, there is an archived thread of a translater uploading a slightly more advanced version then TLWiki had, If anyone else has any information on what's going on with Sora please inform.

>>7706948

>>7706958

>>7706995

It's not bad. Not as good as some KEY classics like Clannad, but better than the other Leaf/Aquaplus games IMO.

http://archive.easymodo.net/jp/thread/7689312
If you're talking about that thread, then yeah. That's the latest news.

Someone who applied passed my test, and he's getting ready to finish the first 2500 lines of Sora's arc (I did the last 5000).

I still need to go back over mine since it's been a while since I translated them, but just with the addition of my lines it should add 13% to the total % completed of the game. If the 20% was accurate before, then now it's at least 33%.

Who's doing it?

>>7707069
Or when someone makes that game stop crashing after 3 lines.

>>7707025
Godammit, you are making me feel so unsatisfied. I really want to read the Leaf classics... Why can't somebody just translate Shizuku or Kizuato already? The Kizuato translation is so damn dead, it's not even funny, but...

And White Album should be pretty popular at this point, it makes no sense to me that there has never been a TL project... And we aren't even going to talk about December without Angels....

Oh well, it looks like ToHeart2 is the only leaf game that is ever going get even a partial translation released.

>>7707274
Erm, since I didn't make this clear in my post, I'm exluding SRPGs from the entire consideration. That's why Utawawerumono and Tears to Tiara don't count.

Remove blackmail and harassment and I'd have bought the game. Sadly MangaGamer keeps trying to sell titles that only sell to two categories. Sadistic men, or men who gobble up anything with porn.

I'll keep hoping for Harem Party to actually be a story about lovers and not just "A harem of brainwashed young ladies, ready for sexual abuse".

Actually I was thinking about
http://archive.easymodo.net/jp/thread/7296429

When do you guys plan to release an update? And are yall only working on sora's route?

>>7709542
Not sure. Neither of us are really affiliated with the team. I'm just someone who decided to translate the last 5000 lines of Sora's arc in my free time, and months later decided I'd never finish and offered to combine it with the team's translation. What they had of Sora's arc was unusable, so I advertised here for someone who'd be willing to finish the first 30% of Sora's arc. Well, I found someone, and he should be starting soon.

As far as patches and the other routes go, I'm not sure. It's more of just a joint project with the team, and the two of us are only dealing with Sora's arc. I'll make sure there's at least some patch for Sora's arc released in the event it were to go into some kind of limbo again.

>>7709915
I was meaning to ask about that, what you mean by unusable? Overlapping with your translation, or simply so bad it couldn't be used?

>>7709927

>>7711034
Her afterstory? I'd assume someone would eventually do it, since it's not that bad.

Only problem with Haruka na Sora is that it requires a lot more hacking. Right now there's a bug where it wordwraps WAY too early (you can fit four words per line if you're lucky). The only fix so far is with a hook that annoyingly shows up in like every virus scanner.

>>7711140
just include a note on the download page and readme and you're all set.
Anyone that doesn't read instructions is a fool.

>>7711152
That's not very professional though.
And in any case, it'd be a while until translation is finished, so there's plenty of time to hack. Plus it uses an open source engine.

Sweet Pool is up to 65%. Might want to add that to your next update, OP.

>>7711106

I'm sure it is on the same level as the "He is my master" manga. You can live with it, but you get the feeling that it was much worse than it could have been.

First pass translation is almost ready. First pass editing is in progress. Second pass translation has barely even started.

>>7712701
I've been wanting to read that for a while so I was excited to hear jast had picked it up. I still want to know how they're going to cram english text into those vertical boxes for muramasa though.

>>7713955
This has been said quite few times before, but Muramasa's text box can be quite easily flipped sideways. Hell, the game itself does it in few points.

Has there been any progress with the Idolm@ster translation? I've been playing through it, and it could use some editing. For instance, who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to translate Hibiki's name as "Echo"? That's as bad as that Princess Aroma shit on Alicesoft wiki.

Holy fuck, these guys work fast.

So, Saya no Uta is finished, or just started? Because I'd totally buy that.

>>7715219
What do you even mean? Saya no Uta has been "finished" for years. JAST just thinks they can get away with selling a stale old translation if they attach the name "Urobuchi" to it. There's a reason Saya is paired with Hanachirasu, and Kikokugai with Django.

>>7715253
You sound pretty angry.

>>7715253
>There's a reason Saya is paired with Hanachirasu, and Kikokugai with Django.
is it because they are too short so releasing hard copies of them separately would be a waste of money

>>7715283
Sasuga /jp/, suggesting that my personal feelings have the power to change the truth. That said, I think JAST's business model is a little ridiculous. If there was a real market for translated eroge, then maybe they would make enough money to offer an actual motivational level of compensation for their mercenary translators. As it stands, the translators still do it for the same reasons they do fan translations, and JAST only throws a wrench in the works by forcing everything through the path of greatest resistance.

To reiterate, it would all be wonderful if JAST made enough money to to offer levels of compensation that actually encourage people to translate games (who might not have otherwise done it). Imagine, JAST could put up bounties for fan-requested translations, and attention-seeking populist translators could pick them up, knowing that they'll be praised by Peter Payne's sheep, and with a little money for their time, to boot.
Of course, everyone knows that would ruin vntl as a whole, because it would mean more people would be able to read titles that they wouldn't have otherwise even been aware of, and if they like something we don't like, or god forbid, don't like something that we do, then our crippled, unadaptable little brains wouldn't be able to handle it. Everyone knows that hipsterism is only satisfying if it's nonconformist, right?

>>7715420
why are you so mad

>>7715420
Sounds like I hit the nail on the head. You're angry as fuck.

>>7715420
>3 big paragraphs of butthurt over four words

>>7715388
No, hon, think about what you just said, for a minute. The length of the game has nothing to do with how much it costs to produce a hard copy, now does it? It's not like they are going to charge proportionally less, based on the total number of lines in the script, are they?

Since you didn't seem to understand the first time, I'll try to explain it more clearly.
Saya no Uta and Kikokugai were both written by Urobuchi, who has become explosively popular with /a/-tier casuals, ever since Madoka aired (which he also wrote...). Saya and Kikokugai are therefore very marketable to a whole, new demographic of customers who probably haven't ever read a visual novel before in the first place, and are therefore likely to be unaware of the existing fan translation patches for both of those games. Peter Payne isn't completely incompetent, so he has realized that he can use the potential popularity of these two titles to sell more copies of other games, too. Since Saya, Hanachirasu, Django, and Kikokugai are all rather short, the customer is likely to be more willing to buy two at a time, and may even feel like he is receiving a "better deal" (akin to those "but wait! If you call now, we'll double your order!" offers on infomercials). And again, since he isn't totally, 100%, full retard, he has chosen to bundle the two (potentially) profitable titles with the two titles he was able to acquire that weren't very likely to sell well on their own.

(my post is two long, to be continued)

>>7715468
(continued)

That said, naturally I am looking forward more to Django than any of the other bundles, because of course we already have the very same translations that JAST is going to sell, so, really, Peter's strategy even has the benefit of forcing people like me to buy Kikokugai, even if we've already played it, in order to get a hard copy of Django.

The third and potentially most important part of the strategy is that it will inflate the reportable sales numbers on all four games. JAST will be able to tell Nitro+ "Look! Look how well all 4 of these games sold!" when in reality, it will only be one or two of them that has any popularity with the casuals at all. On the other hand, there is also the possibility that JAST can create new fans by exposing people to games they might not have otherwise played. In either of these scenarios, JAST, although still likely not making very much money on selling eroge, will have valuable good news to show to their potential partners in Japan, which will help them acquire new licences. If things go well, maybe someday they'll peddle a Hello World translation, for instance.

Mmm, I'd say I don't think I got through to you, but of course I didn't, since I'm not confronting a man, I'm confronting a system, an ideology.

I really hate to be so unoriginal, but there's a reason "autism" is such a mantra in /jp/. There's this idea that communication is deplorable--unpleasant--something to be avoided. The idea that the only thing that could drive me to write three paragraphs, is something so spirit-breaking, so mind-numbingly horrifying, that it surpasses the apparent pain of writing something more than a four word attack.

If I may go on the offensive for a moment, I'll go as far as to say that I'm enjoying it! If I weren't, I wouldn't still be doing it... instead, I'd do what you all so often do, and shitpost yourselves in order to fit in with the crowd that never was.

In fact, I'll take care of that right now!
"So much butthurt"
"tl;dr"
"Sugoi monogatari aniki"
">>>/a/"
"some unoriginal greentext"

If there's anything else you'd like to say, let's have a dialog!

>>7715527
Can I have a summary of the thesis you just posted?

>>7715527
Dude I don't even bear any ill will towards you or anything you said.

But you seriously need to chill the fuck out.

the fuck is this

Teenage "fight the system" angst at it's finest.

>>7715542
I'm bored and want to post, so I thought I'd see how long I could troll and counter-troll without resorting to a meme or pasta.
And also I think "you mad" is autism incarnate, since it implies that talking to people is undesirable.

>>7715536
Ha, yeah, you're right, but I'm just having fun with slightly-more-animated-than-normal language. My blood isn't boiling or anything, don't worry.

>>7715536
>>7715543
Can you not handle a post longer than a sentence?

so do all those words mean i shouldn't wait for saya no uta to get uploaded so i can get some uncensored saya cgs?

>>7715581
I literally can't.

>>7715575
Oops! I got the reply numbers mixed up! Transpose those two and it will make more sense, I think...

>>7715581
Oh boy, now I've really started something...

>>7715594
Learn to use sage on off-topic posts for fuck's sake.

>>7715585
I think it means that he's butthurt and that a VN he likes is going to be translated for all those baka gaijin. And that makes him so mad.

>>7715468
so what makes written-by-madoka-devs django less marketable than written-by-madoka-devs saya or kikokugai?
and why cant you buy dl version of django if you dont want kikokugai? or pirate it?
did you bought japanese versions of hanachirasu saya and kikokugai?

>>7715585
What do you want with uncensored CGs?
Honestly, I can't feel comfortable looking at genitals without a mosaic anymore, but that sounds pretty stupid... And it's not like I try to fap in the middle of story-based novels.

Does looking at an uncensored penis and a fraction of an anatomically stylized-at-best labia really do that much for your fapping experience?

>>7715606
Well, I wasn't saging because I like this thread to be as near to page 0 as possible, but, ok, I'll sage for you, my dearest anon!

>>7715607
It's like you don't have reading comprehension. I said the opposite. I even said that I hoped JAST would become even more successful, so that they can localize more games (I specifically mentioned Hello World).

>>7715611
Not really, but I mean, if I watch an anime series while it's airing and I like it, and the blu rays get subbed, I'll download the bd release to hold on to in case I want to watch it again, even though I rarely do. Same here, might as well archive the best.

I know they tend to be shit, like, Demonbane's gigantic uncensored penises ruining everything. But if I have the option of no mosaic or mosaic, I wouldn't consciously pick mosaic.

>>7715614
Ah, first of all, it seems I made a mistake. I actually didn't know that Django was also written by Urobuchi, but I went ahead and checked, and it was. Still, my second point about Django being the only one of the four that is as of yet untranslated, which encourages people who have played all the other ones to buy it.
For your second point, it's true that purchasing or pirating a download is always an option for all four of those games, and personally, yes, that is probably what I will do, since I don't want a closet full of porn DVDs gathering dust right now. Regardless, even a quick survey will show that "Hard copies" are always one of the top requests of users when it comes to localized visual novels, and JAST has always been able to provide them (they even ship them out before the download goes on line, in order to encourage people to buy the game, rather than pirate it, if they want to be one of the first to play it in English).
So, if JAST didn't offer hardcopies for these games, they would be subject to a lot of totally avoidable criticism, and since they are trying to squeeze extra sales out of the hardcopies by forcing you to buy two at a time, they are also obligated to offer them as independent downloads, since if they didn't, there would be all sorts of complaints from people who only want to buy one of the games. In the end, if they didn't offer independent downloads, they would lose sales from people who objected to the forced bundle on principle!

>>7706013
>>7708304
I agree.

>>7715644
Well, of course you're free to "archive" the JAST release when it comes out "this fall" (fingers crossed, but time has taught me to be skeptical...), but it's not like you'll be missing anything other than the uncensored penises if you choose to play it now rather than later. You can play the current version, that is, and then just replace it with the JAST version, if you care to.

>>7715689
Ah, no worries, I played it a long time ago. I agree with you, I wouldn't avoid or put off playing a VN because it had mosaics, but I will be replacing the version sitting on my external for jast's release.

>>7707013

>>7712701
I sure am. Badass heroines, western shooting, action scenes by Urobuchi and a kick-ass soundtrack. The fact they all get violated by disgusting monsters only adds to the fun (and to my erection as well).

>>7717741
are all of the h scenes rape? I remember looking at a cg rip a while ago and thinking that was the case. I can't fap as well when I'm feeling bad.

Funny how this wasn't the case before he got an anime.

Steins;Gate site is here:

Apparently they've got 7/11 chapters done now.

>>7719027
>Funny how this wasn't the case before he got an anime.
Yeah, people just flat out ignored the writer because he's pretty bad.

>>7719158
They only have one month left before all the /a/ kiddies like you stop caring.

>>7719172
I don't get what /jp/'s issue is with these guys.
They're translating it and I'm sure many are keen to play it.
Why is that such a problem to you?

>>7719178

/jp/ hates any VN that becomes translated.

You must not been around long if you didn't already know this place is full of hipster shitheads.

>>7719185
I've been around here for a bit and I've seen that some of them are keen for some translations, but others they hate.
I just don't really know why.

>>7719158
7/11? Very nice.

>>7719178
And why are you keen on it? Is it because you're a branless fluffy sheep obsessing about a terrible show? Yes it is. Yes it is, you fluffy wuffy widdle sheep.

>>7719217
I don't really know why I expected an intelligent answer from you, but if you must know why I want to play it, it's because I like the concept, I'm also fond of Huke's art style. Plus the fact that I'd get more out of the VN than the anime.

>>7719228
>I like the anime
Careful, Timmy. If you try too hard to fit in with us, you'll alienate your /a/ friends.

>>7719261
Still acting juvenile?
You give your board a bad name, I expected more maturity for some reason.

>>7719217
>obsessing about a terrible show

It's pretty good, actually. Not that you'd know, as anime is too mainstream for you.

>>7719163
>Yeah, people just flat out ignored the writer because he's pretty bad.

People here used to love Urobuchi. Jun Maeda, too, before Angel Beats happened.

When one of Romeo Tanaka's VNs is finally animated, people will start to hate him, too. That's what being a hipster is like.

You hipster.

As for my final note, I would recommend this series for viewers who like anime in general, most recommended to individuals who like a mahou shoujo genre anime that is geared towards the more mature young audiences as the series contains elements of drama and dark themes.

>>7719290
People's opinion of Urobuchi never changed, basically 'unoriginal as fuck' and 'just strings cool things he likes on a plot'.
/jp/ never dissed on Maeda's VNs and most of the hate always came from /a/ inhabitants.
Though angel beats was bad.

>>7719217
Holy shit, look at this guy raging like there's no tomorrow. Calm down bro.

>>7719261
That's not how you use the quoting function, get the fuck out.

>>7719298

What faggot is this from? Madoka was great but I'm sick of seeing people say shit like this about it.

>>7719314
A popular series getting a lot of praise from many people? Well fuck me upside-down, this is unheard of. Better call the FBI while we can.

Of all the genres in anime, there are few as innocent and as light as the magical girl genre. It is usually by default that audiences expect the same old concept of the young, optimistic heroine who harnesses some sort of magical power given to her to battle evil forces in the name of justice. So to those unfamiliar with director Akiyuki Shinbo and writer Urobuchi Gen, Puella Magi Madoka Magica must have come with quite a shock.

While there certainly have been magical girl shows that have taken a darker focus in the past, none so far have been able to deconstruct the genre as successfully as Madoka Magica. In this regard, Urobuchi Gen lives true to his name, as he manages to carefully and logically dissect the magical girl genre, turning it into an often cruel and unforgiving place. The tension and horror that Gen creates is further compounded by an aura of ambiguity that lies over the setting, which is propagated by one of the most unreliable exposition characters of all time, Kyube. In such a universe there is no solace to be found in this little mascot companion, all the while there are barrages of unsettling revelations.

>>7719322

Reviews like that invite reviews like >>7719323

I swear, people should be forced to watch every good or decent show from the past fifty years of anime before they review anything, just so they don't sound like titanic, self-important faggots.

>>7719323
Oh boy, reviews make me so mad.

>>7719323

Who writes shit like this? Seriously? Who the fuck writes something this ignorant?

>>7719305
>Dissing Gen as unoriginal as fuck
>Not dissing Maeda for even worse
Welp. At least Gen has the cool factor.

>>7719346
Its okay to borrow a little.

>>7719323

>>7719341

It sounds way too out there, I suspect a (reverse) troll like 99% of all copypasta.

>>7719355

Exactly, nothing's original. Madoka certainly wasn't original, and it took forever to get to the point where I actually enjoyed it, but I felt that the last three episodes were extremely well-executed.

Sayaka is a horrible character though and Urobuchi should feel ashamed for using someone like her to show what happens to the majority of magical girls.

>>7719359
>I suspect a (reverse) troll

WHAAAAAAT?

NO WAAAAAAAY

SURELY YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME ANONYMOUS

>>7719375

There ARE people that stupid. Look at Random Curiosity.

>>7719376
Go fuck yourself.

>>7719376
>Look at Random Curiosity
Why would anyone do that

The story is a dark Mahou Shoujo. Not like Nanoha at all. Nanoha had some seinen elements in it, but Madoka is a seinen. It takes all the elements of Mahou Shoujo, chucks them in the trash, and completely rewrites the genre. I should note that I have watched a fair amount of anime tagged Horror here on MAL, and not a single one has actually instilled fear in me like Madoka has. This is the only Mahou Shoujo I have come across that actually covers events like suicide, murder, and death in a serious manner and keeps them believable. There is a heavy amount of psychological elements in this anime, too, I should warn. In congruence, I want to laud how the characters mental states and characterization pushes the plot forward unlike many productions. The psychological aspect is so crucial to the story, that without it, the story would be nonexistent.

>>7719383
>The psychological aspect is so crucial to the story, that without it, the story would be nonexistent.

One guy posts a copypasta, then reacts to it himself. Other brainwashed idiots follow.

Exciting.

>>7719381
To laugh at how a guy spent 5 years building up a respected site with massive traffic and then handed it over to a pedophillic a-tard.

>>7719398

Who then hired the biggest newfag ever witnessed on the Internet to seriously review anime.

Best anime blog in the universe, guys.

>>7719375

No I'm not.

A hater would pretend to be a fan, acting in the most retarded way possible that there's no way they can't be a troll. People who don't know the art of trolling too well take it seriously, assume all fans are like that, and retaliate by shitting over fans' threads. Mission accomplished.

It's pathetic, but what can you expect from a site that has places like /b/?

>>7719398
>>7719403
Who the fuck cares? Get your shit together.

>>7719404

Also, you can tell when someone's trolling by the words they use. Like, someone saying "deep and intricated story that no man has ever seen before", no one talks like that.

>>7719411

Ixrec and Moogy do. But they're faggots.

>>7719408

I care because something that used to be good is now bad. That's something that everyone should care about.

>>7719417
>something that used to be good is now bad

Excuse me? A bunch of autistic kids reviewing anime makes it bad? Jesus christ, you are clearly beyond any help. Please kill yourself.

>>7719421
You realize that he's talking about a blog, right? Something defined by its writers and content. The writers and content changed. Stop being such a kneejerk dipshit.

>>7719421

No, I meant that RC used to be pretty good. Now it's fucking terrible.

>>7719428
>>7719430
Again, if you care about reviewers, people who have their heads so deep inside their asses that their feces loop, you are a fucking retard and you should kill yourself. That or keep being the buttmad autist you are, your call.

>>7719440

You seem upset. Did something bad happen?

>>7719445
So you choose the latter? Fine by me.

>>7719428
I don't think it was every THAT good. Omni always had the same retarded backwards attitude that if he was watching it, it must be good and there was never anything bad to say. Also that things weren't worth blogging unless they got him hits, which is still the attitude at the site. He was quick though and despite what I've heard about him actually being a giant asshole, he always wrote fairly professionally without sounding like a jerkoff fanboy.

I have never liked RC. Fucking summaries, summaries everywhere. I prefer blogs like baka raptor, thecartdriver, etc.

>refresh thread from an hour ago
>100 new posts of "hipster", "autism", etc
God damn it guys

>>7719459
>Omni always had the same retarded backwards attitude that if he was watching it, it must be good and there was never anything bad to say.

Still better than Aroduc's 'Everything is shit, presentation is all that matters' attitude.

>>7719462

Kurogane has one of the best anime blogs I've ever read, despite him being a huge moefaggot.

>>7719462
They stopped doing that when they stopped being fast and instead decided to be slow as a shit glacier. They didn't replace it with anything worthwhile though, just the same weekly fanboy bullshitting about how the episode was another masterpiece.

>>7719487

And then, when the show is over, spending six paragraphs explaining how it sucks balls.

How credible.

At least nobody's praising Miao. Good god, what happened to him? There's the pre-Haruhi era where he was mostly thoughtful and witty, and the post-Haruhi era where it's all Shaft, all Kyoani, and nothing but memes.

>>7719487
>>7719497
It's all about the hits. They've actually even said that. They say and do whatever they think appeals to the masses. That's why they started covering Bleach and Naruto.

>>7719498

Holy shit, I forgot he existed.

Guys, guys, can we stop talking about blogs and get back to talking about how shit Steins;Gate is?

>Muv Luv full patch released - Alternative fully translated, ongoing talks with age regarding the possibility of an official release

Do companies consider turning fan translations into official translations often?

>>7729189
You must be new here.
Short answer: Yes.

Sligtly more drawn out answer: It depends on the company and whether or not Mangagamer or JAST steps in to mediate. age has never done this in the past, but Mangagamer claims to be negotiating with them over KimiNozo, so it's possible that MuvLuv will come into the discussion too. I don't ever expect to see a commercial MuvLuv release in English, but then again, I never expected to see that happen to Ef either. Gipface's last troll was pretty brilliant...
