So I'm not... that excited? While it is nice to have an official Engish translation and have more BLs in the West to support, a lot of people (myself included) may find it pointless to purchase official English versions of games you've already played. Rather than buying a game to just sit around on my shelf, I'd rather support the series by buying merch I don't yet have. Not to mention, fanmade English patches of TnC and dmmd especially have existed in fandom for years, Sweet Pool had a mostly 100% patch that was still being updated, and Lamento had a popular patch in 2015.
Because of that I can only see this benefitting new BL fans the most. Sweet Pool however would also be good for N+C fans who never had a chance to play the game, since it is pretty niche imo. Lamento may be hit or miss since the patch for it is still recent.
If dmmd re:code - aka the vita ver - was being localized, then I would buy that game in a heartbeat for that sweet Mizuki route. But it seems like Jast is only releasing the original PC ver so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'd even be interested in a Slow Damage localization if it was possible to release it around the same time.
But anyway. If you haven't played any of these games before, then keep a look out on these localizations! N+C games are always a delight to play for their stories, and each game carries a special place in my heart.
Also it's been many years since Jast's localization of Enzai, so hopefully they've learned by now to have polished translations. 😂
Until next time!
