It seems that the US/PAL releases will be using a second translation, NOT the unaltered English script from the Chinese release.
And...
It's quite troubling how much ongoing translation projects there are lately for stuff that's also being remade and (potentially/confirmed to be) officially localized for other platforms:
Final Fantasy Type-0
Digimon Re: Digitize
One Piece Romance Dawn
Sword Art Online
Tales of Hearts
Tales of Phantasia
Tales of Graces
Ys Seven
Brandish
Toukiden
Danganronpa 1
Danganronpa 2
Shin Megami Tensei if remake
Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep
Not much long ago, we had only Pokémon zero-day translation, and maybe the occasional exception (Dragon Ball Origins, Elebits, Final Fantasy 4 Heroes of Light, Fire Emblem DS1, Glory of Heracles 4, Nostalgia...) but it never got so bad to the degree of nowadays's situation.
I frankly see it as something endangering the scene as a whole. Hardly anything gets released for the PSP anymore from all of these projects.
It's mind-numbing how little fan-translations is released in the end of the day yet the PSP/DS/PS1 have myriads of still untranslated gems.
Is it a matter of making the wrong choices? Aiming too high?
Wavering between the desire to translate the latest new hot thing and the implications on the profitability it will have later now that an official release is announced?
I can't explain in any other way why the more niche stuff (not weaboo shit, but games with actual pedigree or quality) gets ignored most of the time.
Disclaimer: Me being involved in Ninokuni DS (not to be confused with the different localized PS3 port, even though they share basic plot elements) translation might make me seem like an hypocrite... but! that's the case of a game that was explicitly said by the producers not to be coming over or ported anywhere. The concept was reused for Youkai Watch which was far more profitable for L-5 than NnK ever was. Thus making the 2D version of Ninokuni alongside Time Travelers in terms of port priority. Besides, I don't care think whatever I do at this point will adversely affect them by much.
