I’ll keep this short and sweet. A milestone that’s been 7(!!) years in the making, and I couldn’t be happier to see it brought to fruition.
We’re waiting for it to go live on RHDN, but for now, you can find a patch for download in the video.

I truly hope you enjoy. Thanks for your patience.
As always, don’t forget to read the translation notes!
I know I haven’t been updating like I should, but I’ve been neck deep in testing Sakura Wars, a job with an inordinately insane amount of hours, and a certain Kojima game about package delivery, but I digress, let’s get on with it.
@tauke on twitter was kind enough to help us promote the game, and we’re very close to the finish line.
As you may or may not know, we sadly decided to can the PC version and combine our efforts to work with @noahsteam_ ‘s team. Thanks to him and his crack team of translators and testers, I’m confident that this game never has and never will look better. It’s the biggest group effort I’ve ever been involved in, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working on it.
The end result will be worth the wait, I’m sure.

As you may have heard, another team began their own translation project for Sakura Wars… only the Saturn version.
sakurawarstranslation.com
I thought it seemed silly to make them do double work when we had so much done, so we decided to join forces, Japan and Paris Troupe style.
This is the result.
The Saturn version is light years ahead of the PC one(re: actually playable), so it’s moving along very well, but we have no intention of giving up on the PC version, it’s just gonna take a bit longer.
And as the deluge of comments and tweets imply, no, CCC is not cancelled, it’s on the backburner so projects like this and Eternal Punishment(which are WORLDS easier) can see completion.
Which, as you can see, is also seeing forward momentum.
Ciao.
A lot of commenters seem to think I’ve given up, abandoned the projects, moved to Tokyo, etc etc etc, so here’s the story so far.
Sakura Wars
Script is nearing completion, and editing is ramping up.
If you were to put a Masami Eiri plush to my head and ask me which project is closest to completion, this would be it.
Persona 2
The hacker is working on stuff. That’s all I got for now.
CCC
Same as last time nothing new to report, translation is still moving along.
See you next time.
Yes, I know.
Fresh from the Death Busters HQ.
I never did make one of these updates, did I?
So let’s make like Jeezy and get it.
Text insertion and graphic editing is underway in tandem with the translation. You can see the fruits of the labors above.
We also have two new helpers: Cargodin(@cargodin) and Kotcrab(@kotcrab), helping with graphics and editing, respectively.
That’s all for now, keep on shining. Or something.
I looove Disgaea 2. The depths of my obsession with the game go deep. I still own the PS2 version, it’s my favorite Disgaea title, and now I’m a happy owner of the Steam version.
But here’s where it gets interesting. You may recall that I dabble in subtitling stuff, and Disgaea 2’s OP was my most recent project:
Now it’s in game, doods!
“Some people who don’t know about your Twitter might think all your projects are dead, though.”
“any chance of a blog post on how the EP translation is going along?”
“Is it alright to ask how the Devil Children translation is going though? (Also good luck with CCC)”
“e p p s p w h e n (actually did debisama happen? I’m out of the loop. I assume not yet)”
“Hi cj, is fate extra CCC english patch coming out?”
“Quick Question, is the Eternal Punishment project beeing cancelled or do you continue it? There has not been any update in quite a while”
You. get. the. idea.
So first things first, since I could fill the grand canyon with the requests for this and give E.T. a run for his money.
Yes, I know.
Fate/Extra CCC (PSP)
Unchanged. Not cancelled. Full stop. Do not pass go. Do not cut off Gilgamesh’s arm.
Actually, totally do that.
THIS SCRIPT IS MASSIVE AND WILL LIKELY TAKE MANY MORE WEEKS IF NOT MONTHS TO PROPERLY ORGANIZE AND FORMAT. Once this hurdle is passed, you’ll be the first to know. Give or take.
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (PSP)
Moving along nicely! Making solid progress with the remainder of the editing. I can’t say a 2017 release is a given, but it’s damn possible, at least based on the text progress.
Devil Summoner (PSP)
Well, I’m not involved in this, but as an intermediary for Esper, I can assure you it’s happening.
Devil Children: Red & Black Book (PS1)
I am involved in this! Well, as a tester and the editor. And EsperKnight is too. I can’t wait, and you best believe as a proud member of the Cult of Mirai, I will not let this go unreleased.
Sakura Wars (PC)
Translation is maybe 40% done. Stay tuned.
Shadowrun (Sega CD)
Just kidding. I have to keep lighting a fire under Esper for this one. It’s a bitch, let’s put it that way. But we’ll get there.
That’s all I got for now, hit me up on twitter or something if you’d like to know more, but probably not much to share that isn’t here already, unless you want excerpts of Shikigami lore or EP PSP’s script or some junk.
Back to Disgaea 2. Ciao.
Well, introducing is an exaggeration.
So Disgaea 2’s on Steam now. My favorite of the series! Dood.
You can get it here. And should!

But I digress. To mark the occasion, I did an updated translation for the classic opening, ‘Sinful Rose’.
(Turn on subs, doods.)
Which brings me to something I don’t think I shared before… I like to do song translations, so here’s some others I’ve done. I imagine you probably saw the Fate/Extra CCC ones I did some months(!) ago.
Here’s some more. 聞いて下さい.
