Which Visual Novels Would You Like To See Get Translated?

[Blizzard884]

1. The Rewrite translation is not optimal, Ixrec has a tendency to make translation errors at times. Certainly not enough to bother English readers any (and this is secondhand as I don't know Japanese myself), but keep it in mind. Probably the closest to actually optimal you can get is Grisaia

2. I'd like Aiyoku no Eustia if possible.

[Totodile]

Good choice... I like Aiyoku no Eustia too. Really want to read Eris route.

I heard about that VN but i haven't got around to reading it. I would hate to start if it isn't fully translated since my pet Japanese has had enough of my shit. 

[LiquidShu]

Oreimo!

This MUST get translated no matter what. Either that or I learn Japanese fluently. Both need to happen anyways though...

 

Long live Kirino!

The game is great!

Prologue, Common and Fione routes are translated.

If my heart had wings. i heard the fan translation was horrible so maybe an official one would be better?

Dies Irae or Muramasa. Muramasa is probably happening, but in JAST time (so 2030). Aiyoku no Eustia or the Baldr Sky Dive games would be nice, too.

[Beato]

Well...this is awkward...

 

Isn't it common knowledge that MoeNovel is godawful?  That's the first thing I heard about them, aside from the fact that they made If My Heart Had Wings.

The only thing they have done is If My Heart Had Wings so that's where all opinions on Moenovel come from.

Although the first one doesn't look too great, I'm going to pick it up for 30 USD this weekend at JAST. Dat all ages tag though...

id want a english localized pc release of harem tengoku da to omottara yandere jigoku datta (i thought it be harem heaven, but it turned out to be yandere hell) bonus points if they add h-scenes for the pc release but its not a must .

http://vndb.org/v14536

the art looks great and character designs are beautiful. and it seems to be the best yandere game in recent years to hit the market .

Seinarukana -The Spirit of Eternity Sword 2-

[Fiddle]

Would Sekai have to ask the fan translator's permission before using their work, or at least credit them for it?  I mean, I know that fan TL groups don't legally own the rights to anything, but Sekai acting like they did the work would piss some people off.

From the Amaterasu website:

Also, should the opportunity ever arise to work on an official translation of a legitimately good VN, I will not hesitate to delay all my other projects to make it happen. This I would also insist on doing for free, though for a different reason: I don't want either the VN company or the licensing company to waste money on me when they're already taking a huge risk by licensing a legitimately good VN instead of a sex romp.

 

Whether or not it would be licensed for free, I'm sure Amaterasu would make the process very easy. They could look through it for typos and such, however, because as Zakamutt said, it isn't an optimal translation. It certainly does have very few typos, however, and I imagine that there isn't much room for variety in the writing style.

[crunchytaco]

JAST is working on it.  Expect a release in 2016.

 

Man almost a decade later.

That was the official translation.

On that note, the translation of Sword Art Online Hollow Fragment (a PSVita RPG with dating sim / visual novel elements) by Namco Bandai is supposed to be awful.  I've seen screenshots where the text is barely comprehensible (http://www.gamezone.com/originals/2014/08/22/sword-art-online-hollow-fragment-unlocking-heroine-costumes-and-ai-control-guide):

Motherfuckin' Tsujidou-san no Jun'ai Road. I recognize that it's most certainly not the best untranslated VN out there, but it's still probably on the top of my wishlist. Its premise is fairly unique, and by all accounts is really funny and even has decent drama. It has a high amount of slang so it's probably really tricky to translate, I doubt any fan translator will take it on. Somebody needs to strike a deal with Minato Soft and make this happen.

[Ayana]

Although I know it'll probably never happen because of the content material... and it'd be something akin to a world miracle of grand proportions when all's said and done, but... I'd really like to see this become officially translated. It's a masterpiece.

Euphoria is being localized by MangaGamer. I don't think SubaHibi's sexual content is all that worse, if at all.

[sanahtlig]

Mangagamer tends to avoid lengthy titles because they cost too much to translate.  They're only translated 9 titles that are classified as Long (30-50hrs) or higher on VNDB in the course of 6 years.  That's one strike against SubaHibi.

[Nerathim]

I would say Cross Channel, I heard some horrible things about the translation and I don't want to ruin my experience with this VN, so it would be really nice to release a proper translation. (by Xseed guys who perfectly translated the videogame Trails in the Sky, ideally huh)

[Decay]

XSeed isn't ever going to translate eroge. I wouldn't be surprised if they did some VNs eventually but nothing that's 18+. 

[Erogamer]

Sword Art Online Hollow Fragment is legible. It has grammar and spelling errors in it, but it is still fun to play.

So many tens....

I really want to try it now, and it seems the fan TL is about 80% done too.
