Satsuki Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Or at least that's what it seems like from the new teaser they just uploaded... Weird, and here I thought that MoeNovel only releases stuff from WillPlus/Pulltop. Why this very random 15 years old title? Edited March 14, 2018 by Satsuki Quote
bakauchuujin Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) So we can expect Moenovel to kill of titles from other companies as well now? I believed it was bad enough that all releases from Pulltop would get butchered for english release. Edited March 13, 2018 by bakauchuujin Infernoplex 1 Quote
Dergonu Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 MoeNovel, just stop, please... Infernoplex, Dreamysyu, EastCoastDrifter and 1 other 4 Quote
Dreamysyu Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 What the??? Really? Is this game cursed or something? I mean, at least we might get a decent translation, I guess, if it's actually true. On the other hand, is it even possible to lead to some darker parts of the story without the h-scenes? PS. It's also pretty funny that nobody in the top Youtube comments recognized this VN. Quote
DarkZedge Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Well there goes CrossChannel. A minute of silence for the butchering about to happen Quote

Plk_Lesiak Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Well... We can have a minimal amount of hope that Pulltop's unreasonable publishing practices only extent to their own games and they'll be more hesitant to butcher someone else's IP. Just a sliver... Quote

Zalor Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Damn, and here I thought Moenovel was just going to licence bottom of the barrel moege. I for one would actually like to see an official translation of Cross Channel. Plus that VN has such a cult following that Moenovel would be crucified if they butchered it. So I have hope it might be good. I now have a slightly better impression of Moenovel. Quote

I thought the cult following was mostly limited to Japan, no? The reception by the foreign fans wasn't as good, from what I know, mostly due to terrible translations. Quote

I would put the probability somewhere between Trump bringing world piece and this world actually being controlled by Homura. Btw of these 2 the Trump one is the least likely. Quote

They are a small, but very vocal minority. And precisely because the previous translations were so bad, I don't see harm in Moenovel giving it a chance. I don't think they could do worse than what was done before. Dreamysyu 1 Quote

Personally, I often skip H-scenes anyway. So I wouldn't care much, but I know a lot of people do. I'd imagine they would release an uncensored patch though. Isn't that what happened with Suba Hibi when it was released? Different company I know, but I think it would be smart for them to do the same. Quote

If you look at how they have handled other releases you know that they will cut out 18+ and not release a patch for it. Edited March 13, 2018 by bakauchuujin Quote

They just ignore all comments about 18+ content, and keep censoring their games. That's why so many people hate them. Quote
littleshogun Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Well this is the best announcement from Pulltop/MoeNovel in regard of VN localization for two reasons lol. First there's already existed translation (Also already discussed to the death, so automatically made the leak redundant), and the second we have console version for that, so at least it shouldn't matter much if Pulltop just port console version to PC and sell it at Steam. Yeah Pulltop as the localization company themselves was messed up alright when I said that the best announcement from them was basically a redundant release. As for Cross Channel, while I see that maybe there's some prose that was lost in translation, in the end it didn't matter though because we still see many people enjoy translated Cross Channel even if Amaterasu Translation of that was below standard for some people. Besides I believe that even with better translation, I think it's still bound to have some divisive opinion no matter what. Quote
bakauchuujin Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) They are also kind of dicks about it. For instance the lovekami spinoffs were first available in english without any 18+. Because of this some people thought it was going to not be a 18+ VN then a bit later they confirmed a Japanese version with 18+ content that they called a powered upp version only for the japanese. Ofc there is also the 12 year old french girl comments they made for their target group in regards to IMHHW 3 hours ago, littleshogun said: Well this is the best announcement from Pulltop/MoeNovel in regard of VN localization for two reasons lol.

Personally I don't really care much for Cross Channel, the reason this worries me is that it means that they might license other titles from other companies in the future.

novurdim Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Oh god please no There goes my hope of a competent company picking it up someday. Edited March 13, 2018 by novurdim Quote
VirginSmasher Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 And here we are again, third attempt at a good translation for this VN and probably a third failure, because it's fucking Moenovel. Why couldn't you guys just stick to licensing mediocre Pulltop VNs? Your reputation was bad enough already, but it is going to get even worse if they butcher this title. Quote
Funyarinpa Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Holy fucking shit, isn't CC famous for TWO independent horrible translations Quote

MaggieROBOT Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Wait a minute, in this game's first half the MC flips skirts and think about breasts every 2 seconds. I know this is super tame, but this type of thing even gonna fly with Moenovel, knowing them??? Quote

Well, I would still wait for official announcement and first details to show up before we freak out completely. The holy fury will do better when directed at Moenovel itself if they don't promise uncensored version. + they gave up on the policy of censoring everything remotely sexual, so the h-scenes themselves are mostly what's at danger of being cut out.
