Post-release reflections

 

The trial's translation happened to have some minor errors, but overall, it was a good product.

We have decided to begin translation of the Common Route and the Monshiro Route of the full game. The pace will be slower than before, and the Monshiro route is one of the longest routes in the game, so don't expect a release anytime soon.

In addition, the updates will be weekly rather than daily to accommodate the slower speed.

  1. Cheers for more translation of the game!!
    I guess you guys will probably be quite far into these routes by the time TakaJun has finished translating the full original game.

    Thank you and good luck with the project!

  3. Does the trial patch work on the full game?
    If it doesn't can you release one?

    1. Afraid it doesn't, tried that already, u should download the trial version of the game for it to work, it won't take long.

  4. "(Especially the fisherman ending. Friggin' hilarious.)"
    ... I just realized I missed this. Have to go check it out.

    Good luck with the full game, guys! Even one route is better than none. ^_^

  5. Man you guys did a really great job even though there are still some stuff to improve. Hope you guys successfully translate the complete game in the future.
    Cheers

  6. Nice job. If you get bored or burnt out on the rather large task of the full Majikoi S, might I suggest the 5 drama CDs that were released after the original Majikoi? I've always wanted to try them and they seem rather short and fun.

  7. By "Monshiro Route" do you guys mean the one that has nothing to do with the other girls? If so...are you guys going to translate the continuation of the original girls routes (like for example Miyako or Wanko routes)?

    Also, isn't Monshiro Route the continuation of the original game's Agave Route...which is not translated yet?

    PS: Thank you for your hard work btw, really appreciate it.

    1. Nope, Agave after is different. Pun-kun said in /vn/ that he won't be translating Miyako after or Agave after first to avoid spoiling those of us who don't have the blessing of moon. Monshiro's route is an entirely new scenario and doesn't continue from Majikoi.

      Delete
    2. I'm pretty S continues from after the common route of Majikoi!, So monshiro's route indeed continues from the original majikoi game.

      I think you know this but your last sentence was pretty misleading, "It doesn't continue from Majikoi". That is definitely not true.

      Delete
    3. Sorry, I meant that it doesn't continue from any particular ending of Majikoi.

  8. Was hoping for Momoyos route.. but still thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Was hoping for Momoyo's route to be done first as well
    Anyways thanks for the hard work :D

    ReplyDelete
  10. I was hoping for Tsubame's first I think they should add a poll to the website for which route to do first after the common route it should be like this
    Tsubame
    Monshiro
    Momoyo

    1. Or you should just be happy with what you get and stop bitching.

      Delete
    2. No Momoyo?! This is madness!

      Delete
    3. Wouldn't the "after stories" of the previous heroines just be borderline nukige sex romps? If so, Pun-kun focusing on those first would be useless anyway.

  11. Go things at your own pace guys. Glad to hear you guys picked this up. Thanks and good luck! :D

    1. Do you mean what is the Monshiro route...? You should know who she is if you played the trial.

      Delete
  18. Tsubame has the longest route, so they're saving the best for last! <3

    thanks for being considerate and not translating the continuation routes from the first! T_T I love you guys! good luck with the trans!

  19. "Wairu Translations: SHE'S OVER 18"
    So full of win.

    ReplyDelete
  20. "SHE'S OVER 18" Apparently. But she's so damn flat that the claim is highly suspicious.

    Chris after
    Wanko after
    Mayucchi after
    Hermit Crab after
    Agave after
    Tsubame
    Benkei

    1. Momoyo after
      Miyako after
      Chris after
      Wanko after
      Mayucchi after
      Agave after
      Tsubame
      Monshiro
      Kokoro
      Margit (Why waste a route on this woman, Minatosoft? *sigh* A Yoshitsune route would've been way better.)
      Tatsuko
      True route

      No Benkei route in Majikoi S, though there will be a Benkei route in one of the Majikoi A parts, apparently.

      Delete
    2. Believe it or not but Margit is pretty popular.

      Delete
  25. Do you guys have a plan on which order of routes you plan to translate? Or is it just the Monshiro route first and then you'll see after?(hope to god it's next Benkei because I REALLY like her)

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. No Benkei route in Maji S. Only new characters to get routes are Tsubame and Monshiro.

      Delete
  26. Also I noticed that the trial is pretty damn big for well...a trial. Aside from the East/west war is it safe to assume that it contains most of the common route? Meaning won't you guys have the common route done quicker?

    ReplyDelete
  27. I finised the trial yesterday... IT WAS DAMM GREAT :D
    Same coloful and great characters and the new one are a great addition too. I love Tsubame and Benkei :3

    Its more dynamic sprites and feels greater to read because of the pace is smoother. The battle with Momoya and (no spoilers here) made me shiver :)

    And you are going to do the whole game? You have my greatest support on this project. Majikoi is one of my favorite of all time. And this trial reminds me why I love eroge och Visual Novel.

    I have to get my copy soon of Majikoi! S

    ReplyDelete
  28. What!? I don't get Minatosoft...they introduce these awesome girls (Benkei, Yoshitsune, Seiso) but instead of making routes for them in the same game we get a Margit and Kokoro route? I like Margit and all but seriously? Hell if they had to pick an old character then what about Koyuki?
    Also I'll take Benkei over Monshiro any day of the week...I'm no Jun >_>
    I am so disapointed with some of the routes...I'll still play them but I'll always get that nagging feeling of...Y U NO BENKEI!?

    At least we finally get a Tatsuko route...

    1. Kokoro seems pretty "kawaii" in this one, though. I wish there was a Yoshitsune route, though. Shes so adorable.

      Delete
    2. It seems like all the other routes Berserkastyle thought about will be released separately in the fandisc Majikoi A

  29. This is MEGA aWESOME, I never thought Majikoi S was this popular in the West! Man, we are growing stronger by the minute.

  30. So is the fan disc Majikoi A have to deal with the ain story line or is it just several extra stories?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Don't know, heard that aside from new routes it will have after stories as well and it will be released in 4 or 5 parts each with 3 different stories.

      Delete
    2. So the fan disc is like a longer side route with an after story?

      Delete
    3. Don't know that much myself, there isn't even a release date for the fandisc yet, so there isn't much information about it.

      Delete
    4. oh, I see thanks, I was thinking that the fa discs were going to be a part of the main story line

      Delete
    5. Assuming I didn't over interpret the teasers for Majikoi A
      Majikoi A is like Majikoi S to the original Majikoi.
      They are continuing stories from the previous Majikoi S plot, or once again you take the no commitment route to meet some new girls or girls that were previously unaquirable before.
      Maybe theirs going to be even more new characters? But honestly I'm just hoping for 80% after stories with the already established characters.
      P.s. 1 after story confirmed for Tsubame and 2 new stories for Benkei and that weird short chick with the canon....

      Delete
    6. Whops not new story it's Benkei After =P

      Delete
    7. Yes! I'm just happy with a Benkei after story and longer route

      Delete
    8. At times like this I envy those who know Japanese or those who know enough to read VNs in Japanese, they don't need to wait for the translation. Too bad I am learning another language right now.

      Delete
    9. Yeah I understand... though I know Chinese and learning English right now so maybe if I switch to learning Japanese right now I might be able to read VNs in a few years
