It's tough, isn't it? On the one hand, I REALLY want to know how the various projects are coming along, but on the other hand I'm really pleased with the quality NekoNyan is putting out so far, and I don't want to joggle their elbow and piss them off.

Having played the full version of Dracu-riot myself, the only thing I think it needs is a solid editing pass and it's good to go, the translation copy I have is completely done, even the "secret" route is fully translated, as well as all of the menus. I honestly wouldn't object too much if SP had just dumped it onto the market as is without even an editing pass and asked money for it. It's already in good enough condition to pay for, in my opinion. Hopefully Yuzusoft is pleased with how NekoNyan has handled Sanoba Witch and will take Dracu-riot away from SP and give it to NN. I'd really like to be able to buy a legit English translation. As for why Yuzusoft would give SP the license and then not allow them to release? My best guess would be that Yuzusoft looked at what SP did with their localization and decided they didn't like it for some reason, but that's just a guess.

I saw somewhere that CS III doesn't import saves from II, but IV imports from III. I don't know if that's accurate, but if it is, I might just buy the PS4 version instead of waiting for a PC port. I DO have a PS4, even though I almost never use it.

Ah, I didn't even realize the other two games were on something OTHER than PC for English, lol. Guess I'll wait to see if a PC port is also announced. I've waited this long, I can wait a little longer.

I mean, seriously, I've spent HUNDREDS of hours completing multiple playthroughs of both I and II, anticipating being able to import my saves to CSIII when it was finally localized, and now it's going to be PS4 only? WHY? I'll still buy it. Dang-it.

YES! Wait, it's not Xseed? What? And they aren't doing a PC port? WHAT THE HECK!?

While I can acknowledge the theoretical possibility, I have trouble imagining them leaving it running THAT long. Even if they left it running while going to bed, that would normally only add eight to ten hours at most. Over sixty hours is very close to running the game non stop for three straight days. Now, I'm a weirdo who always turns his computer OFF whenever I go to bed or leave the house, so I have trouble understanding leaving ANY program running when I'm not using the computer, but that's just me.

Same here. I usually have a pretty good idea by the time I'm one to two hours in whether or not I'll enjoy a VN, and if the answer is no, I just delete it from my computer. I'd rather replay one of my favorites then spend three days 100%ing a game I don't even enjoy!

I've slowly started working on learning Japanese myself, but WOW is it slow going. I still have to check my Hiragana and Katakana charts for the right sounds, and only have a couple dozen Kanji memorized.

Oy, why would you spend sixty four hours on a VN that you can't recommend, LOL. Fureraba is far from my favorite, mostly because of the MC, who I can't stand, but I still enjoyed it as a whole, and intend to buy the fandisk when NekoNyan gets around to releasing it! Honestly, I could understand someone not liking it and giving a negative review, but not after spending well over sixty hours on it...

If you decide to check out If My Heart Had Wings, look for the fan re-translation and content restoration patch. The official localization was terrible, and made of the routes an unreadable mess of gibberish. But with the fan re-translation, it's easily one of my top 10 (might even make the top 5) favorite VN's, so you might want to add it to your list at some point!

I've never checked out Subahibi, every time I look at it, some of those tags scare me off. The other thing is, I've found very well done VNs that just aren't to my tastes, best example being Fate/Stay Night. It's a great game, very well written, but the lack of a good ending for Saber pissed me off, and then Heaven's Feel was just messed up from start to finish. So even though I've seen a lot of people rate Subahibi very highly, I'm kinda scared to give it a go.

I think I remember reading that JAST got the localization rights for Majikoi, but no clue when or if it'll ever get an official English release. If you can find a Japanese copy, there is a VERY good fan translation patch for both games.

I guess I'm in the minority, my favorite character in Grisaia was Amane, and I couldn't STAND Michiru, lol. Majikoi and Majikoi S are great VNs, well worth the time to 100% both games. My first VN was CLANNAD, which still holds a special place in my heart. I'd really recommend trying that one if you haven't yet.

Holy crap this is amazing! I'm so happy! We might be able to rescue Dracu-Riot from Sekai as well! NekoNyan has already become my favorite localization company, I hope you guys can keep this up for years to come!
