Glad to hear the news.

Correct me if i´am wrong but you are glad that jast will license it ? They even havent released Sumaka and Seinarukana and with there speed we can be lucky if majikoi gets a release in 3 or 4 years.

He did say a lot of issues would have to be cleared first. Issues that may not be cleared. So calm yer panties, mate.

Hmm, my guess is that it would really be hard for jast to convince all of the members not to release the patch here since there are already a lot of people involved in the current translation. But they could have high probability that they will handle the majikoi s and other "sequels/versions" of majikoi. But the internet community is so vast that they couldn't stop fan-translators (noob or veteran) from translating one of the majikoi's before they do. Except if they are able to release one of those before the fan-translator's...

 

So people, give them, the current fan-translator team, your trust. Keep calm... XD

Honestly, it's not that I even care about having to buy a copy from Jast at some point - I have no problem spending money if a VN is actually "available" (as it stands, I back a fair amount of projects and try to buy VNs if localized). And really - setting aside Takajun and the work he put into it - the remaining effort is due to the TL team here at Fuwa, so it's their right to sell off their efforts, and I'll wish them the best (and best price they can squeeze out of Jast :P).

 

I'm just a bit bitter because I am pretty sure we will never see or hear anything about Majikoi again if things do go that direction. Not to mention the shattered hopes and dreams of those that waited, gave up, and had hope again. :P Ah well, damned if you do - damned if you don't.

 

I'll just silently wait for answers at this point, I've said all I can say. :shrug:

 

 

 

still stubbornly hoping we are just all getting trolled hard.

I just got my hands on a copy recently and partial-patched it and I have to say, it's a very entertaining read. Goofy as all hell and fun characters, I cant wait till.... (sees jast rumors).... fuck (calmly takes chair and throws it through the dorm window)

Looks like a C&D isnt going to happen any time soon.

 

To be honest this looks like every response from a localization company when someone ask is (insert name) going to be localized anytime soon, so I don't think there is anything to be really worried about... unless I'm missing some other evidence.

They're actually very reluctant to license games that already have fan translations, because they're competing against a free product.

 

Um... guys? We use money in Japan, too, you know. T_T

That's not what he is saying.  People can buy/torrent the game and then use the fan translation instead of buying it from JAST.  JAST can't compete with that, with the fan translation being a free product and all.  The only way they could is if they priced it the same or under what it costs to import it.  Plus as much as you want to deny it, torrenting and pirating are rampant in the VN community, so as long as there is a Fan translation, people can get it for free.  This is completely ignoring the fact that it was probably lost sales anyway from the people who would pirate JAST's translation.

No one named Peter Payne, nor anyone from JAST, has contacted me nor any other project members. As such, I can't say what is gonna happen with complete certainty, but unless something radically changes, the patch release will happen as planned.

This post should allow everyone to take a breather, at least i hope anyway

4 days passed and still no patch... my kokoro is still happy but starts wavering :<

 

We're nearly there just hang on a little longer... unless something happens and we end up getting C&D'ed... most likely won't happen.

I was worried for a minute there that things was going get a little tricky now I can relax

Looking forward to the patch, as for the possibility of a JAST license if it happens I'll buy it whenever it comes out, at least it'll look nice next to my Japanese copy of the game (though with JAST's time record I may have some very awkward questions at whatever nursing home I end up in :lol: ).
