Visual Novel Translation Status (11/08/2024)

First of all, Nasu still not released the expansion of the FGO with the name 'The Origin' despite that it would be cool for the player to play the story based on the original Fate, But instead it's because we have Fate/Stay Night remastered released, so I just add 'The Origin' in which it's also what Sunrise called the remake version of the very first Gundam (Gundam: The Origin). Anyway welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as for this week we have several releases with the biggest one is obviously Fate/Stay Night Remaster. Other than that, we have Sekai gave us several updates with the notable one being Harukuru's update, and also two more Escude VNs announced by two different publishers. Overall while in theory this should be the exciting week, I feel that it's more or less an above average one. With that done, let's see what I can write in regard of this week.

For the Escude VNs which I just mentioned, there's Houkago Education announced by JAST and Sennagi announced by DL Site with both VNs have a number of sex scenes. For Houkago Education, we have one student of the all boys school was somehow manage to getting close into seven teachers thanks to said students attending the remedial lessons from those teacher, and before you wonder if Escude suddenly make BL VNs all of the seven teachers are girls. So basically you'll going to have date with the teachers, who despite the staffs obviously design them like usual high school students heroines are quite competent in many fields. Speaking of JAST, they just announced they'll release one of their title from AX (Seira) on 24th later. For Sennagi, actually it has been announced for a while, and I can only mention it as 'Beat Blade Haruka with Narika's VA voicing the main (And single) heroine and all of Noroi's cadres are cute girls'. The premise is no much different from Haruka, with Himeka was engage in sexual ritual as the way to obtain the power to fight the demon, and thus Himeka and the MC Souma do a lot of sex in order to save the world from the demons.

Cherry Kiss released their nukige in which it's about the MC who want to have sex with his mother's best friend, and no much to say other than the MC will get his wish fulfilled along with it's the first VN from Orcsoft that Cherry Kiss published after all of their previous nukige are from Miel. Go get the VN if you want to play some nukige in case you like the art (Personally it's not quite appealing to me, but to each of their own), and have fun. Frontwing released Revue Starlight VN, and from what I remember about the anime it's about the female students who doing very dramatic play backed up with very dramatic story (Like Lupercalia) along with the anime has some GL subtext. I would say that I didn't have very high opinion on the VN which adapt the story from the other media, although at least the original writer involved in the VN writing, so there's that. Go get the VN if you want to see more Revue Starlight franchise, and have fun.

Sekai just gave us several updates, with those updates are Sheol was in review by Valve (Good luck to that), Chiisana Kanojo is fully translated along with 65% edited, Wagahigh FD is at a quarter translated, Amairo Chocolata 3 is fully translated along with 15% edited, and last but not the least we finally have Harukuru in QA which mean Sekai finally got the engine from the developer so hopefully we'll see its release in the near future. We also have Shiravune announced Criminal Border Part 3 which has the story goes even darker, and it'll be release sometimes in this year. For fan translation update,s, we have Akagoei 3 is at 89.22% edited, Majikoi Ryouken After is fully edited, and Ushieta is fully translated with the translator will be focusing on the image editing work.

Lastly we have Fate/Stay Night release in which it's arguably the biggest release. I said arguably because technically speaking it has almost complete feature, such as voices and upgraded graphics. Granted the sex scenes are not in the Steam version, but it didn't matter anyway. It also has bugs, although it quickly taken over of after it goes viral. That said, technically speaking it's redundant release, because we already have it since 2008 courtesy of Mirror Moon. Granted some people mention on how Mirror Moon translation didn't really capture on the beauty of the prose that Nasu want to convey, but at least Mirror Moon provided the translation patch to anyone else who just want to read the story and didn't care much about the prose. For the story, it's about Shiro who has hero complex was dragged into the battle royale between the mages with each mages can summon their familiars (Servants) with Shiro somehow summoned Saber who said to be the strongest Servants. Go get Fate/Stay Night if you've been waiting for it (And spamming Mangagamer's survey with it) or want to see the other translation of the prose, and have fun.

That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.
