Translations of wapanese games

[felipepepe]

So, apparently there's still hope for the Generation Xth translation:

Slowly but surely eliminating final bugs and touch-ups. Halloween probably not, but if its not out by Christmas then I'm just dumb.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Fuck yeah.

Why is it, that whenever i check this thread for something good, it's always some goddamned VN with no gameplay being announced instead of say, the summon night PSP games?

 

[TigerKnee]

VNs are much easier to translate.

 

[treave]

Summon Night 5 isn't worth it anyway. Total decline of the series.

 

[SCO]

Then good thing that there are 3 and 4 remakes with additional content on the psp too...

Also, you read nipponese? You fucker!

Shinigami no Kiss wa Wakare no Aji! got a translation:
http://kohaku.kouhi.me/
Kohaku Translation?...never heard of them <.<
The actual game is an Alcot game so...i guess some loli is to be expected (i.e. the main heroine).
Meh...it seems too moe...not my cup of tea.

Meanwhile, Rogue is busy playing Hearthstone (lol), so MQ3 is stil stuck at 82%...
Life is SO unfair -____-

Shinigami no Kiss wa Wakare no Aji! got a translation:
http://kohaku.kouhi.me/

Well, that sounds... lets see...

Cypheriad: “You who have waited two years will merely have waited to be disappointed. Seriously, the game is, by and large, crap. And mainly large crap.”

 

[ghostdog]

Bleh. All that hentai loli crap are starting to get on my nerves.

 

[Gragt]

It's even worse when they all start to look the same. Exactly the same thing that is turning me away from anime.

 

[Gedeone]

Yet another utterly useless game got a translation...
http://rancetranslation.wordpress.com/2013/11/14/kaeru-nyo-panyon-release/
This one is similar to Widenyo, only shorter and with a class system (kinda).
Oh...and the prologue is apparently "half an hour long"...

Why dont they just focus on Rance? Meh.

 

[TigerKnee]

They're more hard up on hackers than translators, IIRC.

No real point translating when you're going to be walled by insertion crashes or other fun problems that arise when you actually try to put the English text back in.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Might be old news, but apparently there is an English translation patch for SaGa 2 on Nintendo DS: http://www.ds-scene.net/?s=viewtopic&nid=10453

That's pretty cool if so. Haven't tried it out myself though.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Hey, it works!

Meet Bee.

The burning question.

You also get to choose 3 companions to travel along with you.

Looks like a fun game already. Oh well, I'm gonna add it on my backlog.

 

[felipepepe]

An RPG about your parents having sex outside marriage, cool.

 

[Crooked Bee]

SaGa 2: Who's Your Daddy Now

 

[Damned Registrations]

Gah, too many awesome games to play. Need to learn how to never sleep again.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

These games weren't good, it's Gameboy RPGs.

Is this a valid topic for this thread?

To those unwilling to link, it is a kickstarter for a translation of a japanese tabletop roleplaying game. The characters take the roles of people who, for some reason, need to go on a journey together. This journey is watched by the GM, called ryuujin here. The GM is basically recording the PCs journey, which will somehow give strength for the dragons that control the seasons to give birth to new eggs or something like that. The game is supposedly much more about making a difficulty journey and helping each other than combat or character growth.

Sounds cool (and looks kawaii). Too bad it isn't a computer game though.

I'd only pledge if you and Agassi and Ulminati would pledge too and then we could host a Codex game

 

[felipepepe]

Reminds me a lot of this.

They even describe both the same way, as "Japanese heartwarming tabletop RPG"...

 

[TigerKnee]

SaGa 2 (and 3, you missed that one) are really old translations, maybe like 1/2 years old.

Maybe it is a genre over there? I really wish I understood Japanese better, cause even if most of their games aren't quite my cup of tea, I get a feeling they have a whole lot of gems buried there.

Eh sure! I mean, I will try anything once, and besides, I somehow doubt the guys on #CodexDH would ever give this a shot.

Yeah, I managed to visit a bookstore in akihabara that had some RPGs when I was there, and they all seemed very... extreme. Either combat-heavy stuff based on specific anime, filled with tons of charts and stuff (very similar to those Daemon RPG books we got here in Huehueland) or those "heartwarming RPGs", with kawaii/cutesy stuff on the cover and very thin volumes, apparently more for actual roleplaying than combat, from what I could understand.

Many D20 logos, but I'm also sure that there must be some nice systems hidden amongst them...

You can get a good idea of the variety here. Even if you are still in Japan, amazon is nice cause they have stuff that is used, something that is a bit harder to find in real stores. If only the brazilian RPG market had that kind of vitality...
