VirginSmasher Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Awesome to see this VN actually get released. I was quite worried when it was stalled for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douggle Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) As I told Moogy & Company earlier I'll believe it when I see an official announce. TLWiki hasn't exactly been professional in the way they handle things when it comes to Subahbi (heres looking at you herkz even moogy trolled people on twitter and irc So until I see something from KeroQ, I will remain leery. Though If it IS true, then i will preorder as soon as I can. Edited December 25, 2015 by douggle XReaper and Kawasumi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim_tales1 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I hope this gets released soon. I feel like I've been waiting forever for the fan translation, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenophilious Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I seriously thought that this was a joke thread. I remember it being said that SubaHibi was most likely never going to get an official translation due to the content in it. I'm just happy there isn't going to be another damn Kickstarter.

I'm just happy there isn't going to be another damn Kickstarter.Mangagamer and JAST have released uncensored content worse than that. It's just that it's not the kind of game that would ever make it to Steam, for example, because there's just no way to cut out stuff to make it "all-ages".

Zenophilious Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Mangagamer and JAST have released uncensored content worse than that. It's just that it's not the kind of game that would ever make it to Steam, for example, because there's just no way to cut out stuff to make it "all-ages". I figured that Starless and the like were as "bad" in terms of content, but I was just repeating what I heard. I guess that just meant that it was less likely to be translated since they couldn't sell an all-ages version, and it being a kamige might have raised the cost to license.Now, about the possibility of hard copies. Kinda seems like they might not happen, considering all the various laws they'd be breaking in several different countries unless they patch that stuff in later. If it's just KeroQ localizing it, they might not want to deal with that and just sell digital copies only. I'm obviously just speculating at this point. What do you guys think?

AaronIsCrunchy Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 SubaHibi's been one that I've wanted to read ever since I've joined these forums, so for me this is fantastic news provided it's definitely, 100%, pinky-promise happening. Obviously hard copies would be cool, but if they don't happen they don't happen - 2016 already looks a wee bit brighter hussien-11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorp Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I am very skeptic about this. I immediately think about Kickstarter of cutted version/Steam version with cutted out content. And Sekai involved. And yes, I know that moogy told no KS and no other company. Lets see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Sekai involved. Lets see...Dude. Not asking you to have read the post on the fuwazette, or moogy's tweets about it, but at least read the thread.Moogy confirms that there will be no kickstarter, and KeroQ is doing this completely independently. As he puts it, this is likely the new trend. Frontwing went behind SP's back for ChiruChiru and will probably not work with anyone else on future projects, Key also went independent, and Conjueror was hired directly by an unnamed Japanese company for a project. I get the feeling that MangaGamer, JAST, and SP's market shares will start shrinking rather rapidly in the coming years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorp Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 @Down, I know what moogy told, i edited the post especially for people like you We all know that SubaHibi was supposed to be released as fan translation years ago and what we see now? So I am very skeptic, unless KeroQ will give official announce like "we release full SubaHibi with full contents in mosaics/uncensored, would be on our/TLWiki site for 30$ as digital download" - all these are just mere speculations. Could be also trolling.I think same about Commie translation of Mahoyo - this would never happen as fan translation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gustave154 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Good to see that KeroMakura is seeing that there is a market for VNs in the West. Fingers crossed this becomes a trend. Moogy and TLWiki also get money for their hard work so I'm hoping we get more announcements like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decay Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Incidentally, Moogy pretty much implied that he'd be down for a Sakura no Uta translation if given a good chance/excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayana Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Incidentally, Moogy pretty much implied that he'd be down for a Sakura no Uta translation if given a good chance/excuse.I see... Well, that is certainly great news then. ^^ To be perfectly honest I am a bit conflicted about what that implication entails on a personal level, however, looking at things objectively this is perhaps the opening to another wonderful opportunity being added on top of the pile of already existing ones brought forth from this whole deal, and so I'm also beaming with joy about it. Given how the Subahibi deal is to be this sort of trend-breaking exchange for the sake of treating the works with utmost care in preventing any kind of censorship, what or who matters and benefits here are the collective people in the western eroge communities/fanbases and the people of the Japanese companies, all as people giving and receiving these beautiful works by a creator with a passion. I can say with zeal that this event has been what I've dreamed of when I finished Subarashiki Hibi in Japanese for the first time and called it my favorite Eroge. I will most definitely buy it again in English, and I will go to all of my friends and try to convince them to earnestly buy it as well! Both Subahibi and Sakuuta are probably the types of works I could say are directly composed for human beings to relate to. I guess with that in mind I just can't not recommend either one to practically anyone I meet and befriend. And so I'd like for the both of them to get official releases for that reason.

Anyways, I am not upset about it going official, its great news because it means we might have a shot at an official Sakura no Uta Localization plus Subahibi is worth buying and the fact that I dont have to throw money at another annoying kickstarter campaign all the better.

And I am upset is that old fansub scene is dead, everyone went from hobby to salary.I am not upset about going official, I am just do not want to get hyped before getting official KeroQ announcement. And I really do not want any mosaics, that's a most important thing for me when anyone speak about western release. If this all would be true and no mosaics - I would be happy. It is not like I am against any official release, I just want to have all done in good way (yeah, I have an examples done in bad way, that's why I am so skeptic).

Scorp Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 @douggle so it is as I said - you did not even read second paragraph. Okay. People could speak about different things in same post, you know, this is not twitter or sms. So read second paragraph - that's my opinion about the official translation. First paragraph is just whining about good old days. Dunno, why I have to explain this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
