Phase 2 has been postponed indefinitely. During the annual 07th party, R07 claimed it would be insensitive to release it as it deals with global crisis, and decided to withhold the release until the pandemic is over. Which sounds like (and most likely is) a lame ass excuse, but that's how it is.

That's why I hate episodic works. The author dies, loses motivation to finish it, or straight up starts working on something else entirely, and all the time and feelings you've invested in it get fucked.

His writing might have taken a blow after BT died, but it'd still suck a fat one if we ain't get to see Ciconia through to the end. If it ends up being straight up garbage, then so be it, but I want it be based on facts rather than the guesswork of what could've been.

I would say that there are more chances of the Otomege getting that spot even if it's not really a December Release kinda game. It probably has less post-beta fixing to do.

>>28890363
I'm not seeing the Christmas release. Rance 01+02 is a major one, which came out less than two months before Christmas, and they want people to focus on that.

I'd personally bet on February for Quest, maybe later if MangaGamer wants to really space out releases. Besides, they don't have any more Rance translations coming out in a long time. Rance IX has been sitting at 100% translated with no progress since the announcement, which means there's editing, programming, and beta testing to do, i.e. likely over a year of work. Rance 03 is not licensed, and Rance X is obviously not going to release before Rance IX nor before Rance 03 if they license that.

Pretty much. Numbers feel odd if you think about it as a series from 1 to 10, because we've gone from talking about "three titles are translated" to "only two before the last one are left". Because really, we've only got two more titles now, but this new focus leaves IV and X out of the picture and doesn't consider Quest. So it's more accurate and consistent to say there're still 5 unreleased games. But yeah, we're getting there.

Sumaga is currently in the work and constantly getting worked on. But it'll still take some time, Django is even further away but JAST is doing their best to get these big games out one after the other. Majikoi will certainly still come this year. Sumaga won't.

Obviously this is information everyone can get from lurking on the JAST discord where they are rather transparent about the status of their games if you just ask nicely. They are aware that the animosity towards their brand is not unwarranted and such delays will not happen again. Recently they even think about the best balance between announcement and release.

>>28896736
Obviously I can't make any quotable statements so this is my opinion:

From what I know you gotta seperate JAST in pre-venus blood and post-venus blood JAST simply because since then they got a new and much more caring top level staff at their helm now.

After VenusBlood Frontier JAST had gotten a much better internal structure with and that is why most of the current projects and their earlier estimates can be neglected. What counts is the here and now and that is basically that JAST won't announce things that aren't ready yet, but do announce them as soon something is ready for release.

Here is basically a rough release schedule for the future titles. Majikoi can be expected this year at least. Bloodnose is the boss of JAST USA so you can take his word seriously. He does really care about getting rid of the stigma of JAST being unreliable and slow.

>>28908734
About Sadiblood bloodnose said that theres a threshhold they aim to reach in sales until the end of the year. I quote:

Even if you're right about Jast caring more now you still really should understand why people are apprehensive towards believing any news they put out. Even after Venus Blood came out Jast missed their recently announced Totono window by three months. For this industry that's not too bad but it still isn't exactly reassuring for Majikoi given it's already November.

It is. It's a mystery plotge and the BL stuff doesn't come until quite a ways in and it handles it more seriously than other material, like it's not something taken for granted as normal. The writer has a way of making the characters feel real and alive that I've rarely seen in VNs, especially the MC. Everything other than the music and voice-acting was also done by a single person. I'm normally not into BL, but I've tried a few Nitro+Chiral games and they were frankly trash in comparison. That being said, the quality dips a bit the further you go. Most people view the first route as the high point, so I'd bear that in mind if you read it.

Low standards. Pretty much the whole project was just to say they translated one of the famous unlocalized Saturn games, which is also why they didn't bother to do one of the actually good versions of the game.

Nobody knows you're a dog on the internet. Actually, those who study English as a second language tend to have better grammar than the natives precisely because they were forced to study it while natives are immersed in it daily and tend to speak in slang. That's where the more natural sounding English comes from. The English of literature vs the English of the market.

PSA for anyone who couldn't already tell by the translator's tragic grasp of English in his blogposts and by the fact that the autistic hapa is involved in any capacity, the Akatsuki no Goei translation effort is a hackjob piece of garbage. I don't usually like to bash on fantls, especially with how bad official ones often are, but this is easily worse than the likes of Eustia or Daitoshokan.
With just the first scene it's already clear how poor the translator's command of both English and Japanese is. We have the constant failure to understand (let alone properly convey) Japanese expressions, the juvenile rewriting of narration, and the arbitrary deletion and even addition(?) of descriptions, all complimented with a pathetic attempt at QC done by subhumans who apparently don't even know English. Pic related has a little bit of everything and it all fits into a single backlog screen! How many errors can you spot?
Where does it say anything about the men being dressed in black? Don't know what 手柄を焦る means? Delete it and go with "retards"! And be sure to add in some em dashes wherever you can to look smart! "I hope my "QCers" know how to use commas, because I sure don't." (spoiler: they don't either)

Skipping forward in the game proves no better. The script honestly feels rewritten in the vein of a 12 year old's book report, with the translator having a strange obsession with randomly inserting profanity seemingly wherever he can. I hope you like your memes too! "Like a boss." "I swear on me mum." Overall, the English is much, for lack of a better word, "dumber," than its Japanese equivalent, but I can't really say I expected any better.

This isn't true at all. Even someone like Conjueror would often make subtle tense errors that a native would not make. Perhaps they couldn't explain to you why it's wrong but they can feel that it is. There's always something unnatural that gives it away eventually.
>>29199922
Nabokov grew up a household speaking Russian, French, and English. He knew all three from childhood and did not learn it as an adult. A better example is Joseph Conrad. Either way you don't have anyone of their caliber translating VNs.

His obsession with profanity makes sense because Kaito is a walking shitposter and it adds to his character, dovac.

The only "error" I can spot is the 手柄を焦った馬鹿" which is overdone.

Maybe you should've picked a better screenshot. This is all inside the norm and definitely not much worse than literally anything else on the market.

Well, the good thing about visual novels is that the boundaries of what you can write is not limited to the text but also what is happening inside the visuals.The visuals clearly show that in this scene there are two men and they are dressed in black so it is all in boundaries of the narration. Your attempt at discrediting their work just based on how it isn't literal enough is honestly pathetic. Show me actual mistakes, mistranslations and actual problems before you discourage me from trying it.

>> No.29209869

>>29209805
It's a mistranslation and your mental gymnastics won't change that. It's called translation and not image interpretation for a reason.
Why is everyone involved with the hapa retard so fucking obnoxious

>> No.29209874

>>29209805
This reminds me of the reverse situation where you have translators that don't pay attention to the visuals or voice acting and so the text doesn't match up right. Something that makes it all consistent is definitely preferable.

>> No.29209905

If this the biggest "mistranslation" you've got then I don't give a fuck at all, sorry.

>> No.29210046

>>29209874
You actually have to consider that scenario writing often happens before the visuals are even created (maybe they are storyboarded at that point) so it's the directors job to make sure that the visuals match the text and not the other way around.

I'm talking about translation. I'll make up an example. Like say that you have a CG where MC and a heroine are holding hands, and it's translated as "she held my arm" or something, since 手 means hand and arm.

This usually happens when translators don't give a fuck about the game and just translate from script which is more widespread in the industry than you may think.

Yeah that's what I'm talking about. I was just saying I'd rather have the reverse of that where they make sure everything is consistent, like in that example that was given earlier. I can't really get upset about something like that.
