  12. Welcome! Don't be afraid to ask questions even if you think they're silly. I had a chance to throw one of my own and people are really willing to help out even if it's not about VNs. The people here are very nice.. You can't go wrong with this community..
  13. Ooh! ooh! I want to give my own answer to that.. I have minimal problems with anime but with Korean and Japanese dramas, I really wanna flip every table I see because reviews for a certain show I'm interested in never bother to include the English title. It's a chronic ailment of mainstream TV here in the Philippines. Even the names (except for the male and female leads) of the characters are even changed so the masses will be able to relate more.. PS: A lot of people here use English 1st names but the last names are Hispanic; also, because of the surge in popularity of Korean and Japanese shows, some have already given their children Korean and Japanese names

  16. Take care Ryoji.. we'll be waiting for your return and good luck on that book!
  17. With regard to VNs being distributed pre-patched, it would be for everyone's benefit in the long run if Fuwanovel keeps ondoing that. My point is based on my experience with Sims 2. Yep, I still play Sims 2 (mainly because I've worked so hard on my characters there and not willing to start from scratch again). For those of you who haven't played Sims, fans are given the opportunity to create their own content like custom dresses, Sims that look like a celebrity, anime costumes, etc. Of course, there are cases where artists who created original content request their creations not to be bundled with another custom content. Instead, a link has to provided referring gamers to that artist's site. Just play along, just think that we're still in 2005. Let's say I created a Sim who looks like Tifa Lockhart but was to lazy to create the hair, clothes, makeup and accessories to go with her, I'll just get what the files I need online. If I found three artists/sources who created what I need, but all of them do not want their creations to be distributed on another site, and I am usually someone who honors those types of requests, I will just put a link then. Fast forward to 2015. Sims 4 has been released. But a bunch of people (let's just say there are just 50,000 of them) who still are quite sentimental with Sims 2 and are still looking for custom content. But lo, and behold, the three links provided are already dead because the other creators have moved on and are no longer interested maintaining their sites. It maybe because they have to get jobs, already have families, or worse, live through foodstamps. So those 50,000 people ended up with a Tifa Lockhart who does not have the proper hair, costume or makeup. It would be alright if the other artists belong to the same forum/site which guarantees that as long as the forum/site is up, the creations I linked to will always be available. But like I've mentioned, that is not often the case. So for those who make such requests that their EN patches not be bundled with the corresponding game should rethink their positions. Yes, Fuwanovel does disregard such requests and I would understand if other people would call FN very disrespectful to it's peers. But FN in a way, does increase the chances preserving their legacy. I backup my most important work in a USB stick, a portable hard drive and a file sharing site. Translators might also be doing the same but public access to that translation is limited to a single forum/site. I'm sounding like a broken record, but there are a lot of reasons that a site would just vanish in cyberspace. Yeah, I find the VN community members (not just here in FN) very intelligent. The main reason is that we get to argue about big stuff like the ethics of the distribution of fan-made translations. I am however, more concerned with the practical stuff: availability. Some people (who will undeniably be responsible for spreading the popularity of VNs also) actually don't care if we abide by the translator's request. What's important to them is that they get to have it. If they like it, they spread the word. There might be a teen out there who read about how cool VNs are. So he downloads the game and is referred to another site to get the EN patch. And just like my example with Sims 2, the site for the EN patch is now dead leaving him with a raw copy he can't play. The impression made on that teen is that fan translations are unreliable. He updates his status in FaceBook saying Visual Novels are trash. This is taking too long so I'll sum it up now, The goal of all VN communities are the same: Make Visual Novels Popular in the West. It won't be successful if availability can't be guaranteed.
