Childhood's End Translation
Is there anyone working on a translation of Lunar: Childhood's End? I was wondering because I've been very bored the past week and need a new project, and I was deciding whether to translate that or go back to my Final Fantasy IV and VI doujinshi scanlations. :/

Re: Childhood's End Translation
No one's been working on it for a long time, but that's because there's been a translation floating around for years.

I've been sitting on a tuned-up version of it, but I haven't done anything with it largely because I'm completely stumped as to what てへりんこ means.

It's pretty moving to know there are people so dedicated and tireless working on these things, especially since Lunar's not a new fandom and these aren't quite new creations -- it's heartening to know the fandom still has unrevealed canon, nw things to look forward to. I keep ogling that one "Lemina in Training" novel, myself; I was pleasantly shocked to see her getting her little slice of the spotlight.

It's okay, don't worry about it. ^^ Fandom loves all things, believes all things and waits patiently for all things.... well, okay, that's not often true, but it's the ideal.
I guess the manga aren't, you're right, though they were a happy surprise to me. ^^ I'm still kind of shocked that Lunar has official novels, though. I know it's not unprecedented for series in Japan, but it's still above and beyond what I'd dreamed.

KF -- really? I guess I don't keep up like I should.... I've only heard of novels for two series in total, though assumed there were more: Lunar and Tenchi Muyo. Wow, I suck at being informed.

Don't worry. You're not the only one. I actually didn't know that either. I knew there were probably other series with novels, but didn't realize just how many.KF -- really?

I have Tales of Phantasia and Sakura Taisen novels myself. Besides that, there's novels for pretty much every RPG series out there... Almost none of them are published in English (none that I know of), and they're pretty much useless for anyone who doesn't understand the language. Hence, why most folks aren't interested in picking them up, and few have really heard of them. KF

Heh, now I'm kind of curious about how much FF6 stuff (my other big videogame love) is out there that I don't know about....

Thus is why I have my website dedicated to FFIV and FFVI. It has some basic game information, but mainly for searching for rare merchandise and making translations of the doujinshi.Racoati wrote:Heh, now I'm kind of curious about how much FF6 stuff (my other big videogame love) is out there that I don't know about....
But I am glad to know that at least these translations and summaries are happening for Lunar. Lunar just doesn't have the popularity that Final Fantasy does, and its sad. =(

Hmm. What about Breath of Fire? I can't say I've ever gone out looking for BoF novels in particular, but I've never found any. Nonetheless game novels are very common in Japan. Take the bibliography of Hosoe Hiromi, who wrote the Lunar 2 novels, for an example of how commonplace game novels are over there...Kizyr wrote:I can't think of any RPG series that doesn't have a novel based off it.

Grandia 3, Wild Arms 4, Wild Arms Alter Code F, Abarenbou Princess, Eternal (Skies of) Arcadia, Legend of Mana, Grandia, Lunar 2, Princess Maker 3.
Collecting Japanese FF6 stuff is tough, because of all the little magazine insert booklets and stuff. But there are 6 CDs, 5 strategy guides, the piano book box and the trading card set to name a few. Then there's special stuff like the Amano collectors plate of the FF6 cover art, but that doesn't turn up often.Racoati wrote:Heh, now I'm kind of curious about how much FF6 stuff (my other big videogame love) is out there that I don't know about....

Hm... yeah, come to think of it, I've never seen any BoF novels myself. There are comics, sure, but no novels that I've seen.Shiva Indis wrote:Hmm. What about Breath of Fire?

I ran a quick check through amazon.co.jp for any Breath of Fire books, and that turned up just that: comics, but no novels (most of the Lunar novels, meanwhile, do show up). KF

So is that where you got the actual hard copies of those novels from? Unless one is in Japan, how does one actually get those to ship to you?

I'm not the one to ask. All the books I bought were in bookstores in Japan. I never ordered anything besides finding the occasional rare item on eBay--and even then, none of my Lunar books came that way.
I should mention that most of the novels were hard to find there, as well. KF
