Conjueror's Untranslated Visual Novel Tournament [Discussion]

[Rose]

Dies Irae only a little ahead underdog, Baldr Sky.

I voted for Dies Irae, because here in Fuwanovel we circle-jerk the hyped stuff we never read. The big guy. The mighty chuunige overlord. The one who's already on top of the VN world.

If you admire such qualities and like being a meanie to Old Man Rooke, you too should vote for Dies Irae. 

[Darklord Rooke]

 

And I see Baldr Sky is drifting behind, now  

[VirginSmasher]

To be honest, both these series deserve to be in the finals. I prefer Dies Irae because it interests me slightly more than Baldr Sky and also the fact that Baldr Sky eliminated Muramasa.

Basically, vote for Dies Irae or you're not on the right hype train. The Dies Irae hype train is the only right hype train.

dies irae is more than just a chuuni vn, the philosophy about life the whole predestination behind the plot is probably the best thing it has, I mean just read the intro and you are "THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!"

I dont like the "every character has this weird character representing them and they have to say some random German poetry every time they fight" it sounds cool but I don't like it, it also turns the reading almost impossible at times   just like in KKK they start saying some random Buddhist chanting old stuff. (masada is known for doing this kind of stuff)

I would be like THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME! if I could actually read it.

this guy translated the first part (i think it's the whole prologue cant remember) but watch the intro video (mercurius' speech)

 

Spoiler

 

 

EDIT: either he is gareblogs or he copied his translation   
EDIT2: he gave credits to gareblogs on the video xD

Just watched it. It was awesome. Can't wait to hopefully read it in Japanese or possibly in English.

I think it's most likely Eustia, but we won't know until the announcement.

Whoops, my bad.  I'd be super hyped if he was TL'ing Dies Irae, though.  I'd throw money at that so hard.  Probably even be willing to spend $60, and I'm stingy as hell when in comes to VNs and games.

I think gare did the TL of the prologue, because that's all I can find.

I think that's all he did too. There are translations of certain scenes on Youtube, but I think Gare has done the most work when it comes to translating parts of Dies Irae.

[Maxel]

Dies Irae and Baldr Sky, both managed to get into TOP10 in Mangagamer poll, both are in the final. Hype is big for both of them. 

A bit sad about Baldr losing, but with opponent like Dies, it have nothing to be ashamed of.

It did manage to beat Muramasa so it deserves to be in the finals after winning against a VN like that.

[FinalChaos]

Dies Irae is like the most hyped vn for me.

Hell the closest I came to actually starting to learn Japanesse was after seeing Dies Irae ......... unfortunately I soon learned that it will probably take 1-2 yrs after learning jap to be able to properly read it

That's a road you must take in order to be able to read it or you could wait for a translation that may or may never happen.

That's my reasoning too.. and it seems it is winning at the moment by a reasonable margin.

Though to be honest, neither of these VN's are on my "must read" list. Though there's probably good reason they're in the final.. I probably should listen to this.

[Rose]

Dies irae won, time for me to spam the poll on Fate-related groups and watch the champion get demolished.

[Down]

Dies is pretty popular among TM fans too, be careful that it doesn't go against your plan =p

I'm just spreading the word so it can be a real TM vs everyone, I voted DI myself. Still, I got asked a lot about Dies, most people didn't seemed to know about it.

[Maxel]

Everything ends, and so do this torunament. It was quite fun, with some pretty damn close battles (Hatsusaku/Sayooshi, Parfait/Hatsusaku/Harukuru/Evenicle, Baldr/Muramasa etc.) The only match left is between the winner and Fate CCC, but it's "outside" one. Here's what everybody probably waited for, the almost final version of the bracket and some results.

I wish we all live up to the day when all VNs from this tournament would be translated, if not all, then maybe just TOP 3 + Honorable Mentions, because it seems they're what people voting wanted the most.

[Darklord Rooke]

When I voted, 200 odd votes had been cast and it was 58-42 to Dies. Currently, Dies' lead has been cut to 2 percentage points ...

~~~

And now Fate's in front. That changed quickly 0.0

You should show them these:

I had a little hope when Dies Irae was beating Fate Extra which then was immediately folower by crushing disappointment.

I have a feeling one of those honorable mention will be brought over here due to a certain severt project, but that's not confirmed yet.

@Zenophilious there´ve already been plenty of hints regarding the sekkret stuff of theirs. looking through his twitter postings might come in handy. i guess.- maybee...

@Conjueror hint about secret project, pls?    If it's Dies I will love you forever.

I would love it to be Dies Irae, but I'm leaning towards Eustia because Conjueror was halfway done the translation by February and he started in December. Either that's amazing speed for a translation of Dies Irae or it's a different VN that's a lot easier to translate. I'm leaning more towards the latter.
