It's Dies Irae

Conjurer has taken a few shots at translating it in the past and he originally approached mangagamer with himawari and the desire to work on another title, so.

However that was known back when it was 3 announcements and one new partner.

Now that we've got a second new partner, I am suddenly intrigued again. I doubt it's anything that earth shattering, but I wonder what it could be.

It's really stupid. The big romantic finale of this dude's route in the previous game revolves around the MC giving him another name once they get engaged––because he only has one name, like Cher––and the MC decides to name him "Cryzzard" because he's "strong like a blizzard and beautiful like crystal". It's played 100% seriously. This is the FD and he insists that she call him by that name whenever they're alone.

Paying attention to useless things is great, they may subconsciously let something slip and then you can use it to blackmail them later. Great detectives use this trick all the time where they notice some minor thing the person said that completely gives away their crime.

The Y definitely sounds like a Baldr Sky hint. See how it ends with Y? Yeah. Just like the wait for Baldr Sky will finally end at Otakon.

> First, some of the biggest reveals were made annoyingly obvious before they actually got revealed (one of them has been obvious since Dive 1). Second, Sora's route takes a bizzare and inexplicable nosedive in quality of execution around the 2/3 mark (seriously, what the hell happened there), but it does mostly recover after a chapter or two so it's not a huge problem.

Well, here's the thing. I know what visual novels are so I'm able to keep my expectations completely in check. I'm also pretty easy to satisfy anyway. So as long as it's not a straight up bad game or something (which I can't imagine it would be), I'll be fine. All I expect is a bit of cool mecha stuff.

I'd imagine a lot of people getting hyped are idiots who overhype everything, but I know what I'm doing and have enjoyed life pretty well as a result.

They get disjointed from plot timeline and as far as canon game goes, may as well not happen at all.
In normal 18+ vn you get things escalating gradually, they kiss, then they have their fist sex, then they do various ichaicha and more kinky stuff.
In shit like ChroClo you never see them get past light kiss on lips even after they officially become lovers and announce it to every one. Its even more fucked up since losing male virginity is biggest protag's dream and the goal he announced to time goddess when acquired his powers.

Seems like it's been awhile since we did order number comparisons and I'm kinda interested in getting a baseline since their ammolite lolige will probably be put up for preorder soon and I'm interested to see that pulls better-than-average numbers.

Once again, Doddler already said they don't have time to work on the Princess Evangile fandisc, because of all of their other projects. I also don't consider Supipara to be an announcement, because the intent to release it was revealed last year. I doubt yaoi, unless they found another translator wanting to translate it, since Good Haro has her hands full with Ozmafia.

My MG announcement predictions for Otakon:
1) One of nitroplus' earlier titles, Jingai Makyou or Gekkou no Carnevale, in response to JAST getting Flowers.
2) Bullet Butlers, since the partnership with Propellor has been rumored.
3) Okujou no Yurirei-san, since more yuri has been confirmed.
4) Amatarasu Riddle Star, since more softhouse-seal seems inevitable. Currently the only game in their "pure love story" brand.
5) PP -Pianissimo- Ayatsuri Ningyou no Rinbu or Caucasus ~Nanatsuki no Nie~, provided Innocent Grey hasn't jumped ship on MG. Maybe Innocent Grey just wants to keep their all-ages and nukige releases separate in the English market. Flowers was likely going to be the fifth announcement until JAST got it.

While I imagine mangagamer won't pull their punches in the future, I doubt they've managed to turn around and license something in revenge in the space of a couple weeks.

>2) Bullet Butlers, since the partnership with Propellor has been rumored.

Just going to point out that propeller is owned by will, which deals with jast. Though they also tried to enter the market with moenovel, so I suppose anything is possible with them. I still kind of doubt it, because I think mangagamer was intentionally turning down jast partners and learning that such a gentlemen's deal doesn't exist so very recently, I doubt they'll have had time to reapproach negotiations without atleast a few months.

To be fair both Euphoria and Haruka are outliers in a way. Euphoria is a nukige but it's also got more going on than a traditional nukige so it's sort of in both categories. Haruka, while definitely a nukige, has wider-reaching implications than a regular nukige pickup for MG given the Alice Soft brand.

The problem stems from the way people use nukige as a derogatory term to just dismiss a game all together, kind of like exactly what you're doing now.

There are good nukige worth of being picked up and bad nukige that aren't just like other eroge subgenres, Haruka and Euphoria fall under the former.

Because you'd be (eventually) getting Rance VI officially, generally if you're a big fan of things you want to show your support of them and own it.

I always find it so weird on the "otaku" board that there are people who are so anti-consumerist, the amount of people who even own a single Touhou game are probably a tiny minority. I get that people like free stuff and this is the internet but it just baffles me.

Eventually is a long and not even confirmed time.

But really the only reason people could possibly be unhappy about a game they expected to be able to play next month being indefinitely delayed for years could only be because of the fact that they have to pay for it.

And Haruka really doesn't have anything to do with Rance at all. They just happen to both be made by the same company.

Completely different game aimed at a different target audience.

Our concerns are not anti-consumerist in nature at all. Everything that has been released officially could also be pirated so cost is not really an issue.

The issues as I see them are:

1) VN Translation moving from an fan/volunteer basis to a for-profit basis has resulted in huge delays to releases. Many titles have been or were in limbo for years (see JAST projects).

2) Japanese companies seem to have adopted "hostage-taking" business practices. Buy DMC4 Special Edition if you want DMC5. Buy Haruka if you want Rance VI. The IPs that we want are getting substituted with depreciated and near value-less (from a business perspective) IPs and are being sold under threat.

Worse, if we actually go along with this, we also send the message "Nukige sells" rather than "we want Rance VI". So we're sort of fucked either way.

3) We have not seen substantial quality improvements for the dollars spent. While progress was made, many of MGs earlier translations were basically unreadable. Many other releases do not rise to the level of a commercial translation and are just a repackaging of the fan translation. If our money is not getting invested in the quality of the product, why should we buy it, rather than the original copy + the fan translation?

4) There may be consequences when Western Revenue outgrows Japanese revenue. When creating scenarios, characters, etc-- currently, we aren't really a factor. Sometimes changes are made post-production (removal of H-scenes, etc), but if we become a big enough market player, they will be made before the story is even written. While obviously this won't affect small publishers, if there's enough money here, stories may be written with us in mind.

5) If every project ends up being corporate the overall health of the scene of fan translations dies. See what happened to the anime scene after it went corporate. Many sub groups are gone. Our options are now more limited. This is sort of happening already to VN scene.

I really hope this doesn't happen. Even you EOPs on 4chan are already cancerous with some sensibilities, but if VN creators start to pander to retards on Steam and Mangagamer forums, we're doomed.

But I'm not afraid it would happen. Japanese costumers would destroy any company that would go full retard like that.

>1) VN Translation moving from an fan/volunteer basis to a for-profit basis has resulted in huge delays to releases.

I don't think it's a good idea to compare the fan community to anyone for timeliness on releases. Even JAST will eventually get their games out.

>2) Japanese companies seem to have adopted "hostage-taking" business practices. Buy DMC4 Special Edition if you want DMC5. Buy Haruka if you want Rance VI. The IPs that we want are getting substituted with depreciated and near value-less (from a business perspective) IPs and are being sold under threat.

I'm going to have to disagree, Haruka is not 'near value-less'... it's one of Alicesofts best selling games, and is arguably the smarter choice of product to release given their demographics.

>3) We have not seen substantial quality improvements for the dollars spent. While progress was made, many of MGs earlier translations were basically unreadable. Many other releases do not rise to the level of a commercial translation and are just a repackaging of the fan translation.

What recent releases pray tell haven't been to the level of a 'commercial translation'? I'm actually very curious.

I feel the same way. Unfortunately when it comes to VNs we've really only got one small company on the scene that we can remotely rely on (MangaGamer), and so many VNs out there to translate. Maybe someday Sekai Project will get their shit together like MG did and we'll have another one, but it's not looking great so far.

My only disappointment with the anime scene is Funi is always in this fierce competition with Crunchyroll and handles their stuff a lot worse. But at the same time they're still a lot more reliable than fansubbers.

That's more the fault of the official spellings not coming out until midway through the show. So the translator guessed at what it was and ended up being wrong because non-Japanese names often have stupid official spellings. Sometimes the translator changes midway through too, though, I think, and that can also account for it.

It's pretty much run-off-a-mill lightly political noir story done right (except for the excruciatingly boring sol bits). It's solid, and achieves what it sets off to (being an entertaining action vn) but it's not exactly mind-blowing if you've read your chuuni, including other Higashide's works.

I'd still understand if you argued for Ayakashibito or Tokyo Babel being kamige; those two at least explore actual folklore/mythology and offer some fodder for your mind with a couple of fairly complex characters / concepts (along with having all the same strengths of BB).

Man, I was thinking about how I wish they'd translate more stuff by the Hanachirasu guy because Hanachirasu's writing is like, exactly what I wanted. It was perfect for me. And then I look him up and I see his only other thing is Muramasa. So that's why people want Muramasa so much. It's the only other thing this brilliant man has written.

To be fair, an all-ages version of what appears to basically be an extension of some short H comics done by a doujin circle really does seem pretty stupid, and there wasn't an already existing game to form that judgment off of.

All kamige are overhyped. They are usually good games, but if you don't like a certain genre to begin with, would you enjoy a great example of it? Maybe not. Then there's the issue when the game is completely different from what you were imagining. I'm expecting kamige enthusiasm to die down when more come out and don't live up to peoples expectations.

I'm bothered that Bullet Butlers keeps getting mentioned. Anyone doing it isn't doing it because it's actually a great story, but because it's likely going to be announced and they want to pretend there was some hype or interest in it. There isn't and really wouldn't be. It would be like saying we were excited to receive Dengeki Stryker.

Baldr Sky
Dies Irae
Aiyoku no Eustia
Muramasa
White Album
Kimi Nozo
Rui Tomo
OreTsuba

These are all titles that would have hype behind them. There are other titles that still have actual interest behind them, like 46+1, Giga moege, JQV, anything from the ";" series, the upcoming title from Minato Soft with Tanaka on it, hell, even Saihate no Ima would probably make the cut.

But Bullet Butlers is not there. It's probably only being mentioned because it has been acquired. There is not exactly a lot of excitement behind it so please stop astroturfing it.

Well, I was listing what there would be excitement for, not exactly what I considered the best or most desired.

Something that I think would be really cool would be to translate any game that is extremely current (i.e. get it out within the same year or close enough to its release in Japan). Especially if a partnership could be made pre-release so that the terms for western sales are already baked into agreements.

Even the announcement of that kind of project would generate substantial hype and it'd be cool if any of these partnerships for buying old IPs ever turned into that kind of arrangement.

It's only eight years old (a year older than BBH) and still looks better than Higurashi's art, which they've kept as an option in the steam release.

So why not? If you want the sex you've got to deal with the art and lack of voice. Those are the same options the Japanese readers have. The talent agency is fine with the original 18+ being sold in Japan still, so I don't know why it would be a problem here.

It's not uncommon to have voice actors change when going from all-age to 18+ and vice versa.

D.C. III started all-age, so the first release and the anime used the all-age set of voices.

D.C. III R (which has both all-age and X-rated versions) has a second set of voices, which the fandiscs use.

The opposite happened with Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka, where the anime and console releases used a different cast compared to the 18+ version, like Yuuhi's 18+ voice being Kazane and her all-age voice being Rie Kugimiya.

Himawari is a 50 hours long VN that has three ero scenes, one CG each, and crudely drawn at that.

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to fap better to the cuddling equivalents they'll have for those scenes in the AA release. If I recall correctly, in the original PSP they even re-used the same CGs with private parts covered by clothes/steam (like steam's Nekopara, I guess?).

I agree the wording could be better. You could always look up the all-ages rating on vndb if you're worried about it being 13+, 15+, or 17+.
