Damn, too bad many of the VN’s you talk about are still untranslated. It seems like many would be quite nice to play.

Thanks for reading my posts.
My main purpose is just to highlight VNs that are obscured, so I’m just aiming so that people know these VNs existed.

I really like these posts on older VNs. You are about one of two persons in this world who blog about older VNs in English that I know of. The other person is Mazyrian from seven nights translations http://7nightstranslations.wordpress.com/

Anyway thanks for the posts! always looking forward to your next piece.
(ps: luv how they are short and succinct and completely readable. Id thumb up 10 times if I could)

Translations of these kinds of things are a hit and miss cases. You don’t get “this” translated, but at the same time you get another VN from LEAF, which is “Utawarerumono” and “Tears to Tiara”.

It all depends on the translators themselves. IMHO, most fan-translators tends to only care about the “deep mind blowing story” rather than laid back romance ones liked this. One example is, the Translation project for another LEAF VN, “To Heart 2″. To Heart 2 is one of the most “milked” franchise from LEAF, which is a sign of good popularity. But there’s only one guy translating the whole thing.

Both Utawarerumono and Tears to Tiara are one of those in the “deep mind blowing story” section.

Thanks for the typo pointed out.

From the looks of it, this is quite the interesting visual novel… But if it’s so popular, why hasn’t it been translated? D:

PS: you made a typo near the end of your 2nd paragraph, “adapataion” -> “adaptation” ;)
