This is my view on it:

I respect Peach Princess because first of all they are professional translators, not Japanese students which most of the fan-translators are. They have more resources possibly including access to the original staff to ask questions.

Secondly, an authorized translation financially benefits both the English visual novel scene and the Japanese publisher, where a fan-translation may help the Japanese publisher it does nothing to encourage more translations.

You have played the first one presumably in English since you clearly do not understand Japanese (this is not an insult but a fact; I don't really either). If you played it in English, you played Peach Princess's translation. If you liked it enough to buy the second one why didn't you wait for the official release? The second one was announced before or right after the release of the first and was predicted quite a bit before the release so you have no excuse there.

You complain about how long Peach Princess takes to translate a game above I find that ludicrous, PP works a hell of a lot faster than any fan translator I have ever met.

What is the difference between the first and second Lightning Warrior Raidy anyway? I played the first, and it wasn't really good at all...

On a side note, I just got Yume Miru Kusuri at Anime Evolution (Canada's biggest anime convention) for 35$, and having played it, I must say I am impressed. Far more than I was (or in this case, wasn't) with Lightning Warrior Raidy.

Supposedly, the sequel is just like the first, but with more variety, such as the number of characters, monsters, and weapon types. From the demo I tried, I found that there's an automap from the start, as well as some kind of monetary system (for buying potions?). However, the overall experience is the same, and gameplay is equally simplistic.

I also looked at the original PC-98 games, and to my surprise, the remakes are virtually unchanged (identical level layouts, game systems, and battle balance - these are already mediocre by 1994 standards) aside from the audio/visual facelift. I guess that explains why Raidy compares badly with any modern release.

In these circles, most people pay little attention to the titles released by Peach Princess/G-Collections. Only a small handful of games actually gets praised, and Raidy isn't among them
In these circles they are the only one who get payed for there work so dont sell me that "most people pay little attention" nonsence because from what i see in this an other forums Peach Princess playes an important role just not the god's kinde role some people think it playes.


Quote:
So no, there isn't any kind of Peach Princess worship going on. The point (besides the fact that Raidy 2 would be an unlikely candidate for fan translation even if G-Collections hadn't announced a release) is that it's a waste of energy to translate what's already being done.
Raidy 2 would be an unlikely candidate for fan translation even if G-Collections?
Is that your informed opinion after visiting all sorts of sites or maybe is your profesional opinion after years and years of translation?
The "translate what's already being done" point has been made thre times now so pay atention because i wont come with another explication.



Quote:
I don't know about torrents, but the game is readily available on free download services. Links are still alive.
Why dont you just show these links or maybe you are afraid of indengering your Unregistered Guest status..



Quote:
Whoever told you that is thinking of anime fansubs (or the Nintendo ROM translation scene from a decade ago), which require far less work and Japanese/technical proficiency. As of now, there aren't many people involved with game translation.
This again comes after your long research profesor Unregistered Guest and i bow down to your unquestioned skils....

Quote:
No matter where you look, no one's going to translate a visual novel simply because you want to play it.
Again, another point that has been made three times now and answers twice (you are the unlucky third).

Quote:
Quite frankly, Raidy is the obscure game that few care about. It's only notable for being the first H RPG released in the US since Brave Soul (another unexceptional game).
Sure it is profesor..

Because i work in online sale's and i know how this game works, we all have a sale's plan so does Peach Princess and this is an informed opinion.

Well there are a lot of options that may or may not change your path in the game plus there is animated scenes like in hentay movies.
As further as you advance in the game the more complicated it gets but is still an excelent game in my opinion.

Let's assume for the moment that Comisar isn't just someone who sucks at trolling...

It seems you are not quite familiar with how licensing acquisitions work so I'll explain... Peach Princess would find themselves in legal trouble with Japanese companies if it started posting that they have acquired such and such title and that it's up for preorder if they have not actually acquired the title. If they, on the other hand, have acquired the title, it means they've paid or owe the Japanese companies some good amount of money. No thriving company is going to be stupid enough to incur an expense and sit around not capitalizing on the investment just to see "if it was a good idea."

I can see most of you look at the Peach Princess team as some kind of gods and that make's me to belive that i am clearly in the wrong place...someone told me that the "translate game" is like a competition with people dying to get ahead but from what i see you are just like third grade assistant hooping and dreaming that one day the masters will notest you and and allow you to bring the coffe permanently to there office.
I personally know people who work there and no, I don't treat them as deities, though Peter would be amused... Your "translation" competition sounds like you're thinking of cutthroat fansubbing from China... And by the way, if they're only competing on speed, the end result is that you'll have the most craptacular translations ever...

Let's put it this way... I've been part of the fan translation scene for these types of games since it started and have observed and/or participated in a majority of these projects and it is my opinion that Lightning Warrior Raidy 2 would be a waste of time to translate. Is that opinion good enough for you now? :p

Quote:

Any translator worth their salt would be able to locate these games easily through all the illicit Japanese channels. If you think someone who can translate enough Japanese to fill a few novels can't figure out how to use a Japanese P2P program, then I'd like to have some of what you're smoking.

Quote:

Actually, all the copies of Windows I use are genuine. I got them for free from my school, since Microsoft really likes to indoctrinate all the future CS students into using Microsoft products. :) Though I do feel bad for the poor people who have to use Vista...

And by the way, if you're the adult who you claim you are, at least write sensible English sentences. Your writing is worse than a MangaGamer rough translation...

Every 5 year old know's about the history of licensing acquisitions but this is not the case and if you had indead read my post's you would had saved some time.

Comisar lets see the true, you will never see the game translated by anyone less than peachprincess, and thats all, no no, you can search for every forum in the world and they will tell you that NO for the simple reason that the game don't worth the trouble to translate, lol there are hundreds and hundreds of excellent Avg and Visual Novels that are far better than Raidy and they are not tranlslated!

Really haeleth or other moderator just close the thread because obviously he will never understand what's is saying here.

Tip: English, while not as extreme as Japanese, is context-sensitive.

I'm currently using Windows XP SP2 since I haven't downloaded the update from Microsoft yet and I obtained my CD from the school before SP3 came out. And yes, my school gives them out for free, as do many schools with a computer science program in the United States.

Considering Comisar's proficiency in English, would an English version of any game profit him anyway? Save perhaps in order to learn English itself?

Smile title won't run through google translator

No offense to anybody, but this is the funnies thread opened in this forum so far. Thanks guys.

Comisar, I'll not got into the game details or what I think of it (I ordered the first one, but haven't played it yet). But it is clear that the ones who can translate and are hanging in this forum are not interested in translating Raidy 2. So please man, move on to another forum.

P.S. you do know that the JAST release will have uncensored CGs
