Great job. From what you said I think the patch will be relesed in about one months time. So thanks for the hard work. The finishing touches are always a pain in the ass.

I'm willing to help out with the beta-testing/editing stages if you need anymore people.

Nice job guys...
I knew you can do it...
Good job...

The release date of UBW has became like second Christmas to me ;__; U really win, keep it up, thx for everything!!!1111 ^^

Power up on all the eroge you need..! I'm literally dying to see the work you've done on UBW... but a little refueling never hurt anyone ... right? ;)

ow.. ow!!!

Owwww that really does hurt. Really does.
Anyways, keep up the good work!

Hey guys...
I see you have almost done it...
Keep up the good job...
The best rewards are always received at the end...

Congratulations on your astoundingly fast progress.

Just a small question for you, Takajun, you seem to be pretty much fluent in Japanese, how long have you been studying this language ?

wow, he's like a machine

i like his "no eroge till after!" then the very next day "damn..." lol

Wow guys...
One more day, and your done...
Good job anyway...

Good job translating, amazing speed i might add. Its good to know that some people out there actually gives a damn about us can-not-read-japanese people(lol)

damn... Id like to learn Japanese bad.

btw... does anyone here know any place they sell Japanese games that ships to Sweden.

I live in Sweden and I haven't had any problems getting himeyashop to ship here.

Yes is really cool I just have a question when you finish fate stay night are you going to translate fate hollow ataraxia?

OH no, he has given up to the DARK SIDE!
That was some editing speed though.

NO, pls come back from the DARK SIDE!
Must resist eroge's temptation!

Don't feel bad about taking a break. Just recharge on some eroge and then you can sprint to the finish!
I'm amazed at how fast you are editing the game. I can't wait to finally play UBW (I've been trying to keep myself away from spoilers... very tough)

did they have cookies on THE DARK SIDE?

oh, and woe is me...i have been spoiled! TT.TT

Nice... Thanks Shadowfiend.

Hi there, just wanted to thank you guys for your hard work, i had being pleasantly amazed by the update speed you had manage to work at.

An is not bad to take a break, actually how would be able to blame you? xD

o.o enjoy your eroge xD

Pffft, thanks for teh chronological spoiler. :|

I might forgive you if you finish tomorrow, though. =)

GOtta say thanks for what your doing, at that speed too! However, I also have the same question as shiro88: Is there going to be translation for Ataraxia too?

editing finished ^_^
good luck in proofing

Hurray for editing completion!!

I really want to thank everyone who worked their ass off working and editing in the release of this patch. This release is going to be like the best christmas gift ever (sort of)! Thanx a lot! ^_^

Day 3's proofing is already complete?!

Holy mother of... YOU GUYS ARE UNEQUALED DEMONS.

In response to Menudo, proofing is making sure that the text is spelled correctly and the grammar is correct, and editing is making sure everything is in order, or if something needs changed in the text, it is made.

Awesome job on the patch guys, I loved the fate route and can't wait to see whats in store. I first heard of Fate/Stay Night by watching the anime. After learning it was originally a game, I just had to play it. Thanks for all your hard work Mirror Moon!

Ah, it's exciting that it's in the testing phase.
There's still a long road ahead for the testers. When the patch is complete I'll be sure to enjoy the fruits of everyones' work to the fullest.

I just can`t thank you enough guys, it's hard to imagine how many effort are you putting into this, but I'm sure is a lot, and idk i just wanted to thank you people because if it weren't for you i wouldn't be able to play the game at all, and as a Fate fan i really must thank you even in an informal comment like this ^_^U

:-)

I Can't wait for the final release!!!
Keep the great work!!!

Brilliant job guys.
Cant imagine the amount of effort you have put into translating.
All i can do now is say thank you!

Wow guys...
You finished the half of the testing...
Keep it up...
Good job, though...

wow...you people are awesome... I hope the patch gets finished soon. wait, is testing the last phase before release?

If you read the blog post you're responding to that question is answered ;p

So our current plan is:
1. I edit the current text.
2. Tester (proofers) go through and recommend changes. I will look over the recommendations and make changes if I see the recommendations valid.
3. Insert final version of text
4. Beta testing (testing installer)
5. Release!

They are currently in Step 2/5.

Great work!

Great job all of you!
I can't believe how close we are to the release!
Keep up!
Eroge is the best fuel!

You're really awesome!!! It's almost done lol
Thx for all your efforts and keep up the good work!!!

Good job everyone!

Here's a special cheer for Message and the testers.

Keep it up guys! XD

Woohoo! only afew more Days left! Wee~

Alright guys! Its the final dash to the finish line... So give it ur best shot! Woo~

*goes off replaying Fate arc*

~So as I pray, UNLIMITED BISHOUJO WORKS.~

WOOOOTTT!!!...
After the release of Call of Duty 4, now this...
Wow guys, keep it up...
Only a few days left...
I'm very thankful on your efforts...
*bow*...

Keep up the good work! I've waited a long time for this release!

You're really doing a great job guys, I hope you'll continue until the end of the whole project ! I'm French and I enjoy your releases a lot, so keep in mind that anyone in the world can be waiting for this release !

I'm glad to see there are still people to please others like that without asking for anything in exchange...

^_^ You guys simply rock, you know?

i can't wait for it to come out, specially when i can only imagine the effort put on every line i will read on the game... i cant thank you enough >.<

good luck in everything you do, you deserve it d_(*0*)_b

I have decided to write a 'Cheer/Anthem/Pledge' thingie.. To Message and all other Testers of UBW patch (and everyone involved). In hopes of cheering them on the last few days.

*Ehem...*

I am the vanguard of the fans.
Fatiqued is my body, and perfection is my blood.
I have corrected, over a thousand bugs and typos.
Unknown to eyebags.
Nor known to cataracts.
Have withstood sleep to locate many grammer mistakes.
Yet these hands shall never miss any of them.
So as i play...

Unlimited Tester's Work!

LOLOL... Hope u guys like that. Although i admit that its kinda crappy and, just took me about 5mins to think that up. All the best! And know that we're supporting you ALL THE WAY!

~So as I pray, UNLIMITED BISHOUJO WORKS.~

Only 1 more day left for testing >_< Gogogo!

Inferno_Flamex, thats pure gold right there XD Good job! XD

And good job to the testers, as well, it's the final stretch! (sorta)
A lot (and a little more) of good luck on the Hscene! X3

*whips testers* WORK HARDER1111!!11

:)

kidding~~

have fun with the sexy scenes. at least FSN doesnt have any tentacle stuff right..?

._.

>>>at least FSN doesnt have any tentacle stuff right..?
Hahahaha.... Surprise surprise in store for you.

Actually, I'm about 90% sure that Nasu wouldn't put something like that in.

Not all H-scenes are created equal, and I'd personally have a much nicer time translating all of Kanon's H scenes than even one Nasu H-scene =p

1 more day, guys...
Keep it up...

WOOOTTT...
This would be one of the best B-day gifts I'll have now...
Hehe...

it really seems we will enjoy that H-scene a lot...
the testers have been stuck on that for a whole week :P

GO! GO! TESTERS GO!

GOGOGO ! You can do it !!

I just registered to say that you guys are like the ideal programming team.

You're well organized, fast and your quality is perfect. If we had more people like you in the OSS wine project, it would probably work a lot better.

Thanks for the excellent work.

I really don't have much experiance, but if something for Fate/Stay Night needs any work, I am willing to help in any way I can....if you all need it of course.

Only installer left, huh?

You guys are making this hard for me, not only agonizing me by the Utawarerumono vs. UBW choise of first play, but also the fact that school's damn busy at the moment... >XD

It would be interesting if in a day or two Mirror moon announced that they are having a Christmas break and will start their work again after the holidays. I mean it would be something very reasonable after all the work they done, they have no reason to hurry.
On the other hand, reaction of some fans would be amusing.

I think rather than amusing, it would be a blood bath. Although I suppose in it's own way that is amusing as well XD. If it was me I would announce the cancellation of it while I finished. Of course who knows what sort of panic a joke like that would make...

~The dream and story one man writes with the tip of the blade, another man can write even better with the tip of a pen~

I showed my friend the anime then he read up on the game and spoiled a few parts of UBW for me the jerk, he is going to play the game after you guys come out with the non-ero version.

From the few spoilers I know it sounds like its going to be the best arc.

I'm excited for the reason of Rin, that girl is an insane mix of cute and deadly. She can dominate me any day. I don't know if you can call it the best arc...since it's all personal taste, it depends on what you want I suppose.

I have been thinking about something though, everytime the translators get to the ero scenes they talk about how it will take longer. I'm wondering if they just don't like the hentai scenes, or if maybe it's because of the way they are written that makes it harder to do. (Some writers are notorious for extremely...creative wording when it comes to that).

~The dream and story one man writes with the tip of the blade, another man can write even better with the tip of a pen~

Yes. I can speak for myself and Taka when I say we actually dislike translating the h-scenes. They are a pain and the writing is usually... rough.

I know this has nothing to do with UBW, but I really don't know where else to put this. Does anyone know where to find the Green Green, Green Green 2 and, Green Green 3 game translations, or translated game script? It would really be helpful if anyone knew,or anyone could do this. If anyone wants to find out about Green Green, you can watch the anime, it is only 13 episodes long; furthermore, not only is it short, but it is an anime that passes by quickly due to the humor. Once again, this has nothing to do with UBW, but I don't know where else to put this statement.

It would have been better to put it in the Game chat on the forums, at least I think it would be the ideal location for it. Doesn't matter though I wouldn't have found it then.

I am fairly sure Green Green or any of it's versions have not been translated, unless it's an obscure underground work. I mean the visual novel community outside japan has still yet to gain the momentum it needs, and there are very view translation groups with the dedication and work Mirror Moon is capable of. I can think of maybe 3 or 4 groups off the top of my head that have shown themselves capable of translating entire games, doing so effectively, and not giving up on it.

So with so few translators out there the list of finished works are quite few, and easy to find. I did a basic search just in case I was wrong and turned up nothing of interest either. I would either begin learning Japanese, or pray a reputable group picks it up (or pray im wrong, that works too since it's known to happen).

~The dream and story one man writes with the tip of the blade, another man can write even better with the tip of a pen~

Wow! I'm waiting for the traslation of the UBW route! And I want to know if I can be a beta tester? Thx!

And I can tell you, trying to get a random person to play a (what they see as a) interactive 'hentai porn' game is damn hard!

I've gotten one person to play Visual Novels in my entire live, and he already liked anime and wrote echii fanfics (which is probably way scarier than any H-scene!), so not much surprise there.

And about H-scenes, I usually feel like theyre kinda slapped on, and I dont really enjoy them. I mean, not to spoil, but the first real sex scene in the Fate route made me grind my teeth. Such a darn lame plotdevice! XD

Tsukihime handled this a BIT better... But just a bit... Succubus anyone?

PS. Me and the other guy developed a recurring joke about "The mighty CNTRL key!", guess why. ;3

0_0 what if they're trying to remove the uncensored junk, since type-moon does that, but I doubt it

You make a good point about the second Fate H-scene, but I still feel that they couldve taken it out and it wouldnt have made that much of a difference. Look at the PS2 version, for example. As I understand it, that game has no H-scene's at all, yet the story is still completely functional. (Or well, thats my bet, Ive never played it XD)

What I did love was the straaaange implementation of the first H-scene in the Fate anime, that just made me gasp for about half an hour (had not played the VN, so XD).
Implying there's H-stuff going on and not showing it just feels like the anime hasnt quite figured out wether its an H-anime or a normal anime XD.

And Anosan, I dont quite see your meaning. Do you mean if Mirrormoon is removing the censors? I don't think thats remotely possible unless you redraw it. And no sane artist would want to draw that and not get payed for it! XD

I do agree, I would've installed the non-ero if I didn't think they had some importance.
I just think that some of the ero plotdevices that are used in Visual Novel's as a whole sometimes drag the story down.

With the first Fate H-scene, it just felt silly and weird in a situation that was very dangerous and serious. I understand it's a big selling point, but now it just feels like Type-Moon was forced to put that in there for sales. The second one I don't have a big problem with because it actually involves love and is indeed a logical next step, not so much a "Saber LVL Up!" plotdevice.

Sorry for double post, damn my lame internet.

Yes some of the H-scenes can drag down the story, but remember visual novels 'originally' were not as worried about that until they realize just what a gem they have. That's when the big Non-Ero marketing comes it. Suddenly they find out 'Hey...Hey wait, you mean...oh my god they SKIPPED the H-scene!?'. When someone will buy a H visual novel and already plan to skip the scenes it's pretty much a guarantee you have something going.

I guess looking at it like that, they were in a way forced to add in that scene...makes a lot of sense.

lol I would have loved to see that on the screen. A giant pop up "Scored with Saber, +1000 Exp, Lv 12!" I think I would have died from laughter.

~The dream and story one man writes with the tip of the blade, another man can write even better with the tip of a pen~

And if you look at what Type-Moon did with the Tiger Dojo's, I could totally see it happen, as well! XD

LOL! I loved Tiger Dojo..

I nearly laughed my head off about fuji-nee's tora-shinai! I mean.. They even put it on the WEAPONS screen! OMG! lol

PS...

How EXACTLY does the non Ero-Ver work.. I mean.. Coz my lil bro wanna play FSN and im kinda afraid of well.. the Ero of coz... And i dont remember seeing the choice to install the ero or non-ero ver during instalation. So im kinda hesitant.

~So as I pray, UNLIMITED BISHOUJO WORKS.~

Mmm.., any chance this will be released on Christmas? Truly, the best Christmas present any mirror moon worshiper can ever have :).
(^''^) (>'')> mirror moon (^''^) (>'')> mirror moon

There is no non-ero patch as of right now, is there?

I could swear I heard talking about a non-ero version... ah well, maybe I'm just mixing up Tsukihime and F/SN...

BUT! We still have "THE MIGHTY CTRL BUTTON!", you'll have to make due with that XD.

Hey, Kara no Kyoukai has no ero! XD . . . I think. XD

Yeah, I knew that, was just kidding XD.

A VN without ero? I got no problem with them, Galaxy Angel is a splendid example of a Visual Novel (or rather, Adventure Game) without ero. I still enjoyed the heck out of it, and the romance was done in a pretty believable, if manganime-esque, manner as well!
Even moreso, I still call Galaxy Angel my favorite Visual Novel (even though it's an adventure game, I know) of all time.

It's too tough to pick a favorite for me...though if Kanon ever gets finished and released as an english patch you can be sure it will take top spot.

~The dream and story one man writes with the tip of the blade, another man can write even better with the tip of a pen~

Okay.. I dont know where else to put this but...

Who the hell put up that 'Lolcat Vershun' of the FSN intro movie, at the FSN nav link? LOL!.. XDD

http://mirrormoon.org/fate_stay_night

I swear it wasnt there last i checked... And i sure hope that you guys at mirrormoon meant that as a joke, and not 'hint' at us as an example of future works... Oh pity us.. LOL XD

~So as I pray, UNLIMITED BISHOUJO WORKS.~

Finally the home stretch has been reached....just a couple more tests to go deshou?
But anywayz I just wanted to congratulate u guys for ur hard work. I speak for all the players of F/Sn that we appreciate your sweat and tears that u have shed over this project( a hyperbole of course but my point is still valid ^^)
Thanks for everything guys, and when i learn to read jap ( I can already understand it) I would love more info about joining ur team)
Believe or not a physics major had alot of free time on his hands.....

@Inferno_Flamex :

... Someone please get some glue and stitches to repair my brain.

Oh man... I can't await the release of UBW. I check this site a few times every day and hope it's out. :)
I'd like to say Thank you for all the work mirror moon has already done for us.
The Visual Novels you're working/worked on are so great and without you, most of us would never been able to experience them. Thank you very much.

sweet the installer is the only obstacle left to overcome, Cant wait ^^

You Guys are all amazing and Im excited to see its almost done. On behalf of every one here im sure its safe to say Thanks for all the hard work, and we look forward to see the last route translated.

Perhaps it will come out on my birthday :)

Kudos for all.

Wow...
Nice job, guys...
I have been w8ting 4 this event...
Good job..
Keep it up...
^___^

Hey there...
Good evening, guys..
Well, how's the UBW patch?...

This is not a chatroom, it's a blog.

As far as we know, mirrormoon is now working on the installer, after which it is most likely ready for release, please be patient. (Though I can understand the sentiment, I've also been looking forward to it too much for my own good! XD)

Hi ^-^
Well, i just passed by to thank you for al the hard work and to keep it up!
Hope UBW installer to be ready soon ;)

Am I crazy to ask about Heaven's Feel at this point of time? Having been treated by/thru the anime series and all the spoilers out there (or in here, in the Net), I know what would've happen and I'm just at Day 3 Prologue, but DARN! Sakura's lines about Shinji 'being more kind to her nowadays' are just about killing me.

Shouldn't have had read those spoilers...
+resists an urge to cry+

I'm really wishing for the rest of the script already.
+waits impatiently+ ;)

I am drinking ants as I type these... Just something to know.

... No, it was not intentionally.
... Stop bugging me.

+squishes an ant that is wandering around his lips+

Hmm...when did they say they were planning to finish the patch? They are working on the installer, right? I've been anticipating UBW's release shortly after I finished Fate, which was when they released the patch even though I know that is foolish. Even so I hope it comes out soon and many thanks to "tha crew."

= Seto =

Y same im still w8ing patiently (refreshing the page only 10 times per day) :D
I hope they r done soon and see the seeds of their Hard work :D
Keep it up guys!
Btw i cant access the mm forums despite i activated my account. It says wither the pass is wrong or my account is not active but i clicked on activation link and the pass IS right... my nick is Arche1234 if an admin could check it = thanks

Thanks for the hard work MM Staff, I'm sure it's been tough putting up with all the BAAAAAAAAW RAAAAAAAGE RAAAAAWR crap people have been giving you with the UBW installer. o_o Thanks even more for putting up with those morons though <3. I'd go crazy if I told there was no one translating the epic win that is Fate/Stay Night anymore.

Just finished 'Fate', cried a few times during the end.

+tosses a few F-words around+

Tried using the AGTH and QuickAtlas, but Kinoko's script doesn't really lend itself to half-baked translation.

Ack.

Anyway, just here to offer my appreciation for the hard works you guys have been doing at tackling the translation of this magnificent piece of work. Even if it stops at 'Fate' at the moment, it has been a veritable pleasure to see the result.

Ca someone tell me what happended the new information on fate stay night project page looks really BAD. Just what was it that maed the translator so angry?

Sounds bad indeed, haven't heard/read anything before this but based on the message I'd venture a guess someone has made an unofficial UBW patch with the (beta test? unedited?) translation. I can see why he'd be annoyed greatly by that
