Visual Novel Translation Status (06/08/2023)
Because we have White Album release, I'd make a parody of Wild Arms remake (Wild Arms Alter Code: F) by changing 'Wild Arms' into 'White Album' simply because both series have same initial (WA). Anyway welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as for this week I guess I'll just say that this is quite an average one with Shiravune has some updates to note. Another thing to note is Kagi o Kakushita Kago no Tori (Shortened as Kagitori) release, which to say has some things to talk about. Lastly we obviously still has regular updates from fan translation, and let's see what I can write in regard of it.
The publisher decided to released Kagitori suddenly back in last Friday, and as expected they didn't have the sex scenes translated. Apparently the publisher is still new and Japanese native who didn't understand English, causing some questionable translation choice. From what I see in Steam discussion, it seems publisher also quite clueless when it come to release 18+ patch outside Steam, because they got the info that Valve immediately ban the company for doing so, which seems to be farfetched even with Steam randomly ban several VNs. In any case, it's too bad that it seems Cabbit didn't have enough money to go to proper VN publisher to localize their VN, so their works are always ended up localized by shady publisher. Oh yes, for the premise it's about the MC who decided to try prove the innocence of the cute girl that was accused of murder, and so the MC decided to live together with the suspect. Feel free to try Kagitori if you can get past the translation problem and 18+ contents removal.
This week we see yet another ChuSingura update, with the current progress is reached 30% mark (30.14%) translated. Other than that, we also have Tsuma Netori is at 55% translated, H2O is past halfway (50.4%) in QC, 1083 out of 2499 main scripts of Fate/Extra CCC are edited, Akagoei FD is past 80% mark (85.06%) edited along with past 40% mark (40.23%) in QC, and Akagoei 3 is past 40% mark (40.07%) translated. That's all for this week fan translation updates.
For some reasons, Aksys decided to delay Norn9 FD release for a week, from initially will be released on 24th to the new release date on 31st later. Speaking of announcing exact release date, we also have both Frontwing and JAST announced it, with Frontwing will release Aikagi After Days on 25th later and JAST will release Gears of Dragoon 2 on September 28th. Sekai finally manage to release Hoshimemo FD, and well I have no much to say other than it's redundant release unless you prefer new HD graphic, although at least Sekai's backlog is decreasing. Speaking of redundant, Shiravune announced they'll release Taimanin Asagi on Q4 of this year (Between October to December), and they already set the Steam store for it, which really telling on how clueless Kagitori publisher is seeing that Asagi has a number of sex scene. Oh yes, we already have this translated for several years, although Shiravune version may have better translation.
Last but not the least, we have White Album release, which should be mentioned that it's not really the prequel of well received White Album 2 even though it was set in the same setting. For the premise, in here we have the MC Touya who is already university student and has his girlfriend Yuki being an idol that currently starting to become very popular. However there's a problem with it, namely Yuki being popular put some strain in her and Touya relationship. As the result, Touya can ended up with the other heroines beside Yuki. While it sounds like it could lead to drama like in WA2, in the end it's not much seeing that WA is part dating sim. Also this is actually the backport for PS3 remake, so don't expect the sex scenes in here (The one that had sex scenes is 1998 version), although it has new heroine route to make up the loss anyway. Go get White Album if you're interested with it (Just don't expect WA2 drama), and have fun.
That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.
