Fan translations are dead, if we pirate everything and official translations die next, will fan translations come back to life?
>>127353067
Probably. Kirby even admitted he isn't doing fan TL anymore because he's working for the moneys
>>127353168
So? He deserves to be paid anyway.
>>127353246
No he doesn't. Working for the good of the people should be enough of a reward.

Can someone please explain me why it even matters if it's /vn/ or /vng/?

How can people post VNs when there is no /vn/?
Christians are the reason we can't have anything nice.

What VN has the best art?
Pic related.
What did you think of Eustia? It didn't seem good at first but eventually you see why it's kamige.
>>127354948
Why didn't we think of that before?
>>127356387

I don't even mean this ironically, but >that blur to hide the lack of detail. This isn't good art.
>>127356720
tilts or not grisaia has some of the best linework and lighting there is in a VN.

>>127356985

Anyone knows the name of pic related?
Best art.
Best lighting.
Sakura no Uta counts too I guess, since it's pretty much the same art.
Where can I download Mahou Tsukai no Yoru full game iso?

>>127357127
>EOP plebs showing their inferiority
>>127356827
By that logic, you should be saying HatsuMira has the best art, because it's streets ahead of Grisaia.
>>127357708
Already tried that but i found only the English Demo and the French patch and i can't understand French XD
>>127356556

>>127357945
Given that she's surrounded by dead fish, is it okay to assume that she's dead too?
>>127357945
I was thinking of reading that, does the story has a conclusion? I don't want to play it now if I have to wait for a sequel.
>>127358131
No, the circumstances surrounding that CG are retarded as fuck, but rest assured, the main heroine is not dead there.
>>127357945
Haven't read it yet and was going off of what I've already read.
Looks like that one is by the same guys as grisaia though, so we can just condense and say frontwing makes the best VN art.
>>127357945
Cute.
What's it about, mermaids?
It feels good to know EOPs will never taint this with their grubby hands.
>>127358270
Isn't the main heroine the dragon girl? That's a mermaid.
>>127358312
>frontwing makes the best VN art
Don't make me post sachi fingers anon
What are some vns where every girl is a slut?
>>127358257
I don't know. I dropped it because it's boring. There's pretty much no way for the game to have a satisfying conclusion because the world/character building is so awfully bland I think.
>>127358312
That'd be excluding G-Yuusuke though
>>127358373
Kamikaze pilot in WW2 gets knocked to a fantasy world after crashing into a boat. Hijinks ensue as high tough guy YAMATO DAMASHII conflicts with fantasy world around him. Also a lot of people die.
>>127358450
A main heroine. A big shot. Girl on the cover.
>>127358684
Interesting story.
Also, SPOILERS!
>>127358583
I don't even have anything to defend with this one desu.
I don't know how you can fuck up proportions so badly.
>>127356387
I think the Kikokugai remake has some of the best artwork in the medium.
>>127356545
The artist definitely produces the best sausage fingers.
>>127358684
Holy fuck, those girls there literally, LITERALLY look like Amane, Makina and Yumiko cosplaying.
>>127358763
The fact that he's a Kamikaze pilot is in his character description, don't worry about it.

Welcome to the best art in VNs enjoy your stay.
Are you going to make a 3rd thread, /vn/ autists?
>>127358934
What you actually mean is "pseudo-JOPs rule this place now." Too bad you were shunned from /jp/ by embarrassing yourself with your machine translations in company of people who have studied the language. Now kill yourself.

>This general is exclusively for the discussion of English translated Japanese visual novels.
>>127359851
The OP of that post doesn't even make sense. This one has "English only VNs" in the OP as well.
>>127360009
Yet all I see is shitposting for just about 100 posts, most talking about untranslated games. This thread is as cancerous as it gets.
>>127360176
They literally get deleted on sight. See >>127359889 and >>127358934
Just report jaypee posts like a good civilian.
>>127359830
Oh shit, does that really say 剣 there? I can't believe that the translation removed that nuance. For you who can't understand, it says.
>Shirou Emiya will turn his heart into a sword (steel) and probably become an ally of justice
check my 7 weebshits
Where did all this autism come from?
Why cant we just have a nice thread ?
>>127360351
You should never become a translator.
>/vn/ gets btfo again
>>127360468
Why?
>>127360468
I know, I didn't attempt to sound as cool as Nasu, I just wanted to show that it says sword, not just steel like in the translation.
>>127360546
Perhaps 4th time's the charm?
>>127360546
I always knew TMfags were cancer.
>>127360618
Doesn't it do that half the time those words are mentioned?
>>127360718
Why don't you fuck off and make another thread faggot
>>127360784
No clue.
I can understanding dropping it for the majority of the VN, for the sake of fluidity. But, at the very least, it should have been included in the god-damn conclusion of MIND OF STEEL. That's a lot of naunce missing in the translation, completely cutting out "sword".
Someone post what's shaking bacon, I haven't saved that one.
Or any other weird pajama, that's fine too.
>>127361102
>>127361175
Sakura no Uta is not translated. Take it to /jp/.
Any reason to continue Koichoco?
It's extremely slow

This is getting retarded, because those are allowed by the rules.
This is all the JOPs fault, you know. Mods should just b& anyone who is clearly a JOP.

>>127363325
If the JOPs would just post on their dead board we would be fine
>>127358684
That's a gigantic shame to hear. I was hoping it'd be good, because the art is fantastic and the premise sounds interesting.
Fucking Hype!

>>127363325
You were fucking told that getting rid of JSLs instead of shitposters was a bad idea. Now they've switched over to this /vn/-/vng/ bullshit. You've made your bed, now lie in it, bitch.

Cannot wait for the third one.
>>127363727
>this voice
But still, I'm hard.
Lately, I've been looking for a nukige called SayYah!, which is prequel to more known SayYah! 2003, but I have trouble finding it. I've searched quite extensively, but to no avail.
Some help would be appreciated.
>>127364046
It took me 5 seconds to understand who you meant by JSL.
Just call them JOPs like everyone else.
>>127363724
I'm just a crotchety old man, I wouldn't listen to me. No fun allowed. Well, it got a 76 on EGS whereas Grisaia got a 85 so it looks like Japan wasn't as fond of it either, but in any case, it's an above average game for sure, especially compared to, say, Koirizo.
>>127364157
>everyone else
You mean a few shitposters? Nah. I'm not autistic, so I'm using the correct terminology.
>>127364046
what's a JSL?
>>127363727
TRIGGERED.
WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THAT HERE, EVEN THOUGH THE FIRST 2 GAMES WERE TRANSLATED.
TAKE IT TO /JP/
>>127364195
That's a very sad average.
>>127363727
Can a JOP make himself useful and translate?
Is it optimistic to think a translation of KnS 3 will be finished in 4-6 years? I'm assuming the game will come out in the next 2 years.
>>127364195
But Koirizo is bottom of the barrel -tier moege. It's good for its type, sure, but it's so boring you couldn't pay me to read through it. Comparing Hatsumira to Koirizo reflects badly on the former.you probably could pay me tbqh

Weren't only the 2 Fate posts deleted?
>>127364382
>in the next 2 years
Yeah, I think so too. And it will be a greatest time in our lives.
>>127364462
I just meant to say that compared to what's been released recently here (Koirizo, NobleWorks, Koichoco), it's pretty good. If you liked those three games you will probably enjoy HatsuMira a lot. My main complaint with the game was actually how Ichirou was a flawless dude who's always right, if that doesn't bother you you'll enjoy the game a hella lot more than I did no doubt. Also, the fact that the common route being so long necessitated a LOT of scenes in which nothing actually happened, if you get into the atmosphere of the game and relax you will also probably enjoy it more than I did.
Anyway, this is a discussion for four years in the future probably, Sekai still needs to finish up the other two Grisaia games after all.

I hate NTR. I read a lot of moege and in the back of my mind I keep thinking the girl is gonna get NTR'd away from the protag.
>>127365096
It's a discussion for right now. If you haven't noticed, it's the ONLY actual discussion this general has right now.
And yeah, I'm a fan of protagonists that are "flawless and always right", or at least act like they've got their shit together, like Yuuji, Kotarou from Rewrite or Yamato from Majikoi.
Is the common as long as Grisaia's was? That being a good thing, since GnK's common was brilliant.
>>127362485
hah
>>127365924
>Is the common as long as Grisaia's was?
Longer I think, probably the longest I've ever seen.
>>127363207

>comparing a Romeo protag to those low-tier pleb trash
You didn't understand a single thing about Rewrite.
>>127365369

>>127366035
Longer than Hoshimeme, out of curiosity?
>>127363727
Can I translate and talk about that or are my posts going to be deleted?
>>127364046
I really doubt that having untranslated games posted here would remove the shitposting.
Also there is very little logic in posting them here anyway since they already have a general on /jp/.
>>127366128
You mean an Ixrec protag.
>>127366345
I don't remember that game being long, so maybe. Grisaia's script size is bigger than Hoshi's so I would expect Hatsumira to be longer in turn, yeah.
>>127366452
See the actual discussion going on? Compare with the rest of the thread.
>>127366380
fuck off
>>127366380
You can translate the entire VN, release a patch and then talk about it. :)
>>127366380
They don't deserve it, dude.
Try to get along, /vng/ is about accepting people from all languages and talking about VNs, be they EOPs or JSLs.

I sometimes think overly agressive anti-JOP posters are actualy disguised /jp/ rejectsI also think /jp/-reject is a better name than JOP, older too.
>>127367208
But JSL is, you know, the actual correct term.

Good news guys, our friends over at Reddit have made a guide to reading visual novels in Japanese!

Do you find EOP to be an insulting term?
I've never really understood it since even though I might not know Japanese, I'm fluent in three languages and can follow and have slow conversations still in a fourth so English only has always felt weird to me.

>>127367992
Hello Reddit
>>127368016
EOP is so widely used not because it's insulting, but because it fits a niche. What do you call people who don't know Japanese but still read VN translations?
>Visual novel fans that read translations
>people who don't know Japanese
etc etc. In comparison, a simple
>EOP
is short, fast to type, and convenient. That's why it caught on and is still being used. No other single word conveys the nuance that EOP does. So, it gets used.
Also, EOP refers to people being stuck to English translations of VNs, not only knowing one language. So even people with four languages, if you don't know Japanese and have to read English translations of VNs, you are EOP.
>>127368052
hi friend
>>127368314
Hello Reddit
>>127368489
yes
>>127368252
Yes but why give it a term of its own?
I've read numerous books from Russian authors but since I don't understand any Russian, I've naturally read translations.
Same with French, Greek etc.
Yet no one would really scorn me for not learning the language these novels were originally written in.
Kara no Shoujo 3 hype!
I hope Yukari doesn't diewithout getting the Reiji dick
>>127368720
You're assuming EOP is a term used for scorning others. It's not.

>>127368489

>>127368720
>Yes but why give it a term of its own?
It's convenient and short and describes a common phenomenon. It was first used by a troll on /jp/ awhile ago and caught on because it's so convenient. It's like, "why give cuckoldry a term of it's own"? same deal.
>>127368815
Okay, but still, why give it a term of it's own at all as I initially posited?
