Nashetania Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 It's heeeeeeere (almost)! The most epic VN you'll ever play! Now, I created this thread for discussion and such, but I also have several questions. 1) Do you think someone will decide to translate this? And if yes, how long will it take before they will pick it up (hah, you thought I would ask how long it would take to translate, you pleb)? 2) This VN is All Ages version, but is there a possibility that they will add H-scenes? Key is known for releasing both All Ages and 18+ version (nor it's nothing uncommon overall). 3) Iwasawa, Yui or Godan? 4) Let's get a bit ahead of here. Which characters do you want to see/do you think there will be in 2nd beat? Suzu Fanatic and ezyo22 2 Quote
Segai Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Considering how popular Angel Beats is I don't think a fan TL will take long at all. As for H-scenes, I'm conflicted on it. They could add to it but they could also ruin it depending on how they implement it. Safer bet is probably all-ages. Iwasawa The rest of the band members, I'm interested in their stories. And also the guild of course. Quote
Kaguya Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Most epic VN you'll ever play. Not even out yet. I don't expect too much from it in terms of actual quality. Key is very popular, so I could see someone picking it up a few weeks after release. Hell, maybe they'll even pass the ball to sekai or something. Quote
LinovaA Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I would love me some Shiina h-scene action Anyway, I have actually had this thing preordered for quite a long time. Pretty excited to play it when it finally ends up coming in. I have high expectations for this... and by the time all of the "beats" are released... I am expecting certain plot holes from the anime to be filled. That would be ideal. And again... Shiina h-scenes... those would be ideal too... Quote
OriginalRen Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 It's been out with a midnight release in Japan. Akiba stores open in 2 hours. Quote
Aaaeru Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Considering how popular Angel Beats is I don't think a fan TL will take long at all. More likely no one touches it because Sekai might go for it Quote
Segai Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 More likely no one touches it because Sekai might go for it Let's hope not, a "might" isn't good enough for me.. Quote
Nosebleed Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I don't expect a TL project for this anytime soon, especially with SP's relationship with Key now. Either way I'm pretty excited for this and hope to get it ASAP. Mostly excited for Yui's route~ Quote
Decay Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 1) Yes, someone will pick it up. Current expectation is Sekai Project, but even if it's not them, I find it unlikely that Key isn't looking to partner with someone to bring this to the west. And there are some impatient fan translators who don't give a hoot looking hungrily at it. I think fan TLers will pick it up in spite of the high likelihood of an official release. 2) An 18+ version is theoretically possible but very unlikely in my opinion. Suzu Fanatic 1 Quote
Nashetania Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 Am I the only one who is really interested in knowing Yusa more? Also maybe if we are lucky enough, the game will be on Steam (I'm being really optimistic). Give me a route for that dancy funk dude, it is the only thing I want. Quote
Getsuya Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Man. This week. This week has been full of awesome releases and this is just the shiny cherry on top. I really didn't want to spend so much money right before going back to the US, but there ain't no way I'm going back without picking this up. Quote
Aaaeru Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Am I the only one who is really interested in knowing Yusa more? Also maybe if we are lucky enough, the game will be on Steam (I'm being really optimistic). Is Clannad going to Steam? If it is, and Sekai gets the rights to AB, it will hit Steam. Quote
Nashetania Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 Is Clannad going to Steam? If it is, and Sekai gets the rights to AB, it will hit Steam. I saw Clannad getting on Steam like month ago or so? Now, when I look, I can't see it anymore. Did they change their mind? Quote
Decay Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Clannad is going to be on Steam, and if Angel Beats gets officially licensed (it will), it will appear on Steam as well, it's not at all unlikely. I saw Clannad getting on Steam like month ago or so? Now, when I look, I can't see it anymore. Did they change their mind? Clannad's translation is not yet finished, so it is not on Steam yet. Quote
Deep Blue Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 considering that not even little busters was released yet (the ecstasy edition has been stalled for months now for some reason) I doubt angel beats is going to get a fan translation even less an official one..at least not any time soon aka years. Quote

That's just based doki being based doki. It doesn't apply if some other translation group wants to pick it up. Though I will say the game is really going to be long so don't expect a translation in the next few years, even if it gets licensed by SP it's going to take its sweet time. Quote
suikashoujo Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I really wish I could have gotten the chance to preorder the limited edition... but meh, being a poor student is suffering. Iwasawa is best grill though, so here's hoping the hype was actually being directed at a quality product. Quote
Getsuya Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Costs $140 now for the LE, though if it goes the same way Rewrite did it'll show up used for rather cheap in a year or so. I'm just getting the ordinary edition, I don't need another wallscroll. Quote

Nosebleed Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 How long do you think 1st Beat is actually going to be? I'm just expecting some 10-15 hour experience. Quote
LinovaA Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 When my copy comes in... I am pretty much temporarily dropping everything just so I can marathon it. I don't even care how long it is. Quote
blahblahblahxxx Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I actually would rather them not put in H-scenes. I felt the same way about LB. I feel like Key visual novels have such pure stories. Adding sex wouldn't do it any justice imo. Quote
Kelebek1 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Their stories are already boring as fuck, may as well throw some tits in so there's at least *something* there. XReaper 1 Quote
Mr Poltroon Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Their stories are already boring as fuck, may as well throw some tits in so there's at least *something* there. I disagree. I will now fail to give any fundament to my point just as you have yours. LinovaA, Eclipsed, Kenshin_sama and 1 other 4 Quote
