>My basic plan was to have three rounds of voting. The first round would simply be nominations, no actual voting, in which anyone could throw out any names they wanted so we could get a comprehensive list (so those "better Black Cyc titles" had better show up). FYI, everything mentioned in this thread is nominated by default (yes, that means you can get something on the list by posting here right now).

>The second round would be preliminary voting. I'd limit all users to three votes (either upvotes or downvotes) which can be made on anything in the list, and once the results are relatively stable I'll choose a set of finalists (probably around ten or twelve).

>Then the third round would be the actual poll, but this time the results will be blind to everyone outside Amaterasu staff until the poll is finished. That way we won't get as many people hopping on the top two bandwagons like last time. However, if the top two or three are too close together, I may choose to have a tie-breaker poll afterwards.

--------
Ergo if you want anything translated there, you better mention it there. It's a lot different now than last time in my opinion.

Just wait and see Hoshizora no Memoria be the ones chosen to be translated.
I don't even know why it's there but it seems to be pretty popular with most of the posters in that thread.
It was cute but fairly forgettable, there are lot of better eroge, even if you want only moe.

Route A - Hinata, a youth who has lost his sister and himself .
Route B - Ishtar, a freelance programmer and leader of a hacker team.
Route C - Ishtar, but seems a bit different from the Ishtar in Route B....

himawari is cute and short but can't really compare against most of the mentioned titles of the same genre

yu-no would be by suggestion. It was one of the earliest vns I've ever read and it still holds a special place or I/O since I'm guessing /jp/ will love the story. There is also muv-luv which can get FAR more attention than any of those titles but there are many games, total script to be translated would be incredibly long and there is so much picture editing that the poor editor would hate life in the end. Also the engine was supposedly a bitch to hack

My not very interesting opinion on these eroge, at least those I played:

Swan Song 10/10: Probably one of my favorite eroge, I can't find any fault except maybe the true end that is a little weak.
A true character driven story and a joy to read.

Himawari 9.5/10: Honestly I like it as much as Swan Song but I have to give some demerit points for the first route that isn't on par with the rest and the lack of CGs.
Extremely fun and easy to read, it can do pretty much everything very well, be it moe, humor or drama.
The second and third routes, Aqua's story, form one of the most perfect story I've seen in an eroge.

Suigetsu 9/10: May be my nostalgia faggotry speaking since it's one of the first moonspeak eroge I played years ago but I love it, a great cast and a very interesting story.
And YUKI, one of the first character I really went moe over.

Saihate no Ima 9/10: This one is strange, probably one of the weirdest eroge I played. The story is simple at first focusing on a group of childhood friend but it become far more complicated over time.
It's similar to Cross Channel in a way, with far less perversity and even more introspection and philosophical stuffs.
But it's always very interesting and some scenes in it are extremely memorable.

Hello, World 9/10: Probably my favorite Nitroplus eroge, it's a story that really go crescendo starting as a normal moe galge and ending with the end of the world as we know it.
Very entertaining and extremely long, it's very fun especially on the first playthrough.

Ruitomo 9/10: Another pretty good one, some of the best chemistry among a cast I've seen in an eroge and a pretty witty script, very fun to play through and Tomo is an awesome protagonist.

Sekien no Inganock 8.5/10: Beautiful eroge with great art and very good writing. I'm not the biggest fan of Liar-soft but this one is my favorite. It really manages to create a great setting.
One of the flaw would be the same that every Liar-soft eroge, the way the voice disappear after a while, I can understand not voicing anything but only voicing thing partially is pretty jarring to me.

That's it for those I really liked, of course I would like to see Muv-Luv translated too but it's not very interesting without Alternative, GSS had some good scenes but overall I found it kinda dull, Little Witch Romanesque was cute and Katahane isn't bad at all.

I'll be happy whatever he translates.

Which made me wonder how different a poll with multiple choices vs a poll with only one choice would look. It would probably make the game liked by most people win, while not being the favorite of most people. Hard to say if that would be a good thing or a bad thing.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 25 18:40:43 2009 No.2999055 Honestly rather than doing a poll he should play the games himself and translate what he likes. Though I only think this because I'm confident that anyone who play Swan Song can only love it.

Then Ixrec probably won't translated it, and maybe look at the next one on the list. It looks like he goes through the VN before actually starting translation.

This. MuvLuv is more than a mecha VN. If you liked KimiNozo, you'll love MuvLuv Extra. It's a great slice of life with really nice characters. And this is coming from someone who thinks that Unlimited and Alternative are fucking better than Extra.

And yeah, I'm going for MuvLuv. There are games there that I want to see translated as mush as it, like Swan Song, but this is the only project that I think it'd be able to finish MuvLuv.

I was previously considering that too but it's almost twice as long as Swan Song (SS being slightly shorter than Cross†Channel).
If we want something long I/O's probably a better a pick as it's unlikely anyone else would choose to translate it. Swan Song sounds good for a story that isn't over-long and people don't seem to have any complaints with it.
I wish I knew Saihate no Ima's text length so I could choose between that and Swan Song.

Saihate no Ima has a little more than 2.0 m if I remember correctly, about the same as Himawari.
But text length doesn't necessarily indicate the length of the game or difficulty of the translation.
For example it took me about 3 days to finish Himawari, that's because the game is very easy to read and flow very well, the translation would be quick too.
Saihate no Ima took me 2 weeks, and I was playing several hours every days, that's how difficult it was.

Yeah Ima has similar witty dialogues, though Shinobu the main character is completely different compared to Taichi, he isn't a pervert for one.
Otherwise it goes even deeper in the psyche of the characters than Cross Channel, if you liked this then you'll love Saihate no Ima.

The text of Swan Song isn't particularly difficult but the writing style is beautiful and would be hard to transcribe well in english.
The game itself is FULL of long and heavy monologues, it's basically structured like a theatrical play.

Rance is on the extreme end of excellent gameplay. I think heavy plot or characterization will just ruin the fast-paced gameplay of it. Most Alicesoft eroges are like that; it attract gamers more than readers.

April 26th, 2032 A.D. - Megalopolis Tokyo - 00:12 in the morning
A total lunar eclipse occurs for the first time in 3 years. Even though it's supposed to be a simple astronomical phenomenon, it soon sets off a series of unexpected events. Unexplainable mysteries, terrorist incidents, and network crime surge as if in unison. The truth mixes with lies, as if the world is awake but still sleeping.

Route A - Hinata, a youth who has lost his sister and himself .
Route B - Ishtar, a freelance programmer and leader of a hacker team.
Route C - Ishtar, but seems a bit different from the Ishtar in Route B....
Route D - He, a man completely shrouded in mystery.

Isn't your logic slightly backwards? Just because a game is more popular doesn't mean it's better, right? And the more popular ones are more likely to get translation projects / officially localised in the future anyway.

Ixrec's a talented translator and both are games we likely won't ever see translated if he doesn't do them due to their complexity.

What I mean is that a game that has both quality and recognition should be prioritized over games that are good but are of a lower profile. I am not saying that anything that is more popular is better.

>And the more popular ones are more likely to get translation projects / officially localised in the future anyway.
Using this logic, we will end up waiting even more years before we see the greatest the visual novel genre has to offer. You seem to have a lot of faith in the fan translation community and official localizers, which I believe is extremely unfounded.

We have fan translators picking up games like Wanko to Kurasou, Tears to Tiara, and various sex romp titles (Nephrinn, I'm looking at you). On the other hand, we do have fan translations for a few high profile and arguably quality games like FSN and Clannad. But those games are few and far in between. The truth is, translators choose to translate what they like, which doesn't necessarily entail titles that have quality or acclaim.

Official localization companies are even worse, but have been improving in very recent times, but I don't find it cause to be overly optimistic. JAST has come out into the open about the possibility of censorship in their future games, which may affect their choice of titles. For that matter, the only thing keeping them relevant at this point are the Nitro+ titles. They haven't made any other deals we know of or have any other games of value in their pipeline. MangaGamer shows extreme promise, but suffers many problems I'm sure you're well aware of. I personally have more faith that MG might get some good titles in the future, but I am not holding my breath that they will get even a few of the titles on that list. EvoSpace's comments in IRC posted on the other thread just about confirms that they won't be getting some the extremely high profile games any time soon.
"[16:40] <EvoSpace> nothing that big like August or Type-moon yet thou
[16:40] <EvoSpace> about translating their games into English"

So what we are left with is to depend on Ixrec, a willing and dedicated translator, to take up the task of translating what has been deemed to be of high quality by both the Japanese and the multilingual English community. If anyone can be trusted in this volatile fanbase, he is it.

In that case, you probably want Saihate no Ima.

Ixrec should actually play the whole thing before deciding if he wants to translate it, though, because it's going to require an unusual amount of work. From that standpoint, I/O might be the better choice.

But why is it down to Saihate and I/O anyway? There's other good games on that list.

The thing is that those companies are just about unique (maybe add Leaf to that) as the eroge companies capable of selling >100,000 copies of a title. It's obvious that those two would be out.

Fairly well known (but not ridiculously popular) companies like liar-soft, purple software, cyc, light etc. might be more within their grasp.

Because it is better in my mind to prioritize the classics over other games that are good, but are less well known.

You will probably say that classic doesn't necessarily mean the game is good. And I agree, that is sometimes the case. I'm sure many a Japanese fan would consider the original Da Capo game to be a "classic", but I found it to be nothing special. However, there are games that any fan should be able to say they have played simply because it is high profile or well regarded. We have the benefit of having well regarded and high profile games on the list, so attracting lower quality generic stuff like Da Capo isn't that much of an issue.

Fans of a genre should be able to say that they have played the classics or the extremely popular titles. Imagine a JRPG fan who says they have never played Final Fantasy or an anime fan who says they have never watched Evangelion. Even if you think those titles are complete shit, you owe it to yourself as a fan to at least expose yourself to them.

Unfortunately for us Japanese illiterate, we are forced to depend on the opinions of others in a choice situation like this one. Since we cannot play the original games, we have no choice but to put our trust in things like Japanese ratings, English reviews, and opinions from the multilingual fans. Basing quality on the opinions of others is of course extremely flawed, but there is really nothing else we can do until we study Japanese to a high enough level to be able to actually play the original games.

When a game has few ratings and few people giving their opinion on it, there is greater cause for skepticism as to how good the game really is simply because the sample size of people who actually played the game is much smaller. When a game has over 1000 ratings on EGS and still maintains a high 70s or 80+ rating, it is much safer to trust that the game is of better quality than that of a game with 100 ratings and a similar rating. Again, I am basing quality on the opinions of others since monolinguals can't form opinions on their own.

Just did 'Check and Recover'. Because of the error I currently have 953/954 downloaded. Error checking did not find anything on what I have downloaded. Share automatically checks for errors whenever that occurs, which is why it has anything to redownload in the first place, so this isn't surprising.

Does this mean I have bad sectors, or what? And wouldn't that also mean that every time Share redownloads the piece, it tries and fails to write it on the exact same sector?
