They're actually different games. The DVD spec contains the original game story, while the fan disc has alternate stories that suppose the infamous accident didn't happen. So DVD spec is what you'd want to play first, as it's the "real story".

[justaguyinpantz]

hi. I'm having trouble installing the DVD spec. Can anyone help?

[xaocythe]

Is there an english version of that game?

No. Which has been answered several times already.

Okay, I guess it would be appropriate to revive this thread, since the remake of the original was released just days ago. I just got it, and any who intends to get it be warned. It's system-intensive.

*sigh*

Yet another version of KimiNozo for me to buy...lets see, that makes 4 when I include Akane Maniax, not sure how much more my shelf or wallet can take....

Hey hey! Someone posted my original thread from like... 4 years ago!

Ah, those were the days... and I STILL long for a translation for this game. Maybe I should just master Japanese.


I'll give a brief synopsis though. I talked to G-Collections--A LOT--and in essence spammed a request to get the game on their projects list. In the end, I was told they would like to, but it was very unlikely to happen, because Age decided that it was not in their best interest/any interest to license the game out for translation. In other words, it's because of Age that you won't see their games translated into English by any commercial entity any time soon.

I was really bummed, and basically let it drop after that. Not much I can do to convince Age.




I really want to see that game translated, though. I would seriously pay anyone (or donate a nice hefty sum) to a fan translator to do that game ^_^.

So whoever is working on it, keep me posted!


edit: btw, /wave Darkcntry. Good to see a fellow KGNE enthusiast even after a few years ^_^

Now there is a name I haven't seen in a long time

A couple times someone popped up with the notion to decode and translate the game, and each of those times I said it's doubtful it'll come to fruition simply because it's far too easy to get burned out by it. So, sadly, I was right as those couple groups/people seemed to have stalled/disappeared.

The person who's currently translating the original DVD edition of KGNE last updated his site more than 2 months ago. http://www.geocities.com/kgnetranslation/main.html I don't think I'm gonna hold my breath and I'll just press on regardless.

The wiki shows progress, it however is still nowhere near completion. According to the script updates, they have to July 23rd of the first chapter...I don't expect this to be a complete translation as if this were true then they would be almost 25% complete with the entire game. I expect the translation to be of just one path though.

Either way, I'm still not going to hold my breath.

[Jinx626]

has anyone finished KGNE ~latest edition yet~ ? For those that don't know ~latest edition~ which is a revamped version with extension of the story of main 3 heroines and more which was released on 3/28 http://www.age-soft.co.jp/Product/kiminozole/index.htm Those that can read japanese i was wondering if they could give a summary of the extra Chapter 3 endings of the 3 Main heroines. I heard that Haruka's ending pretty much follows the ~next season~ OVA's but what about Mituski and Akane??

[AceStarleaf]

Wow, glad to see people are still looking forward to the game eventually being translated. ^_^

I'm moved the site off of Geocities to a dedicated host, as with the wiki.

www.kgnetranslation.org

If anyone wishes to help in the translation you are more than welcome to. I've not had much time lately to work on it due to real life, though I will be going back to it.

The project has gotten far enough along that we have the ~Latest Edition~ Demo translated and patched as a test (Internal Only at the moment). The translation itself still needs a lot of cleaning up though.

Also DarkCntry, the 1st chapter is only about 8-10% of the total script, as based on the DVD Spec. it's even less in the LE Version.

[Littm]

Oh thanks that someone still translating this awesome thing. But...errr... ~Latest Edition~ Demo ? Is it available from the official site or somewhere else ?

Ah.... here they are - first and second demos.

[Littm]

Can someone help ? Just tryed to play this two demos and there is an error :



What's the problem, anybody knows ?

[Littm]

Nevermind, the problem was with some files.

What kind of help ?

I've been interested in Kimi Ga Nozoum Eien since the series started and there isn't a game I'd like more to be translated in English than this one.

I have the dvd edition but didn't dare to play yet, cos it would be mindless clicking till I

Just posting to let know that there are more people that still would be VERY happy if the game or even a part (one route of it) would be translated.

[Littm]

Okay, nevermind again about ~special fandisk~ and ~le~ differences, because, i will play ~le~ this week (err, of course, should master japanese more...). But, if you're interested, here is a some kind of summary, features and endings overview of ~special fandisk~ and it can be really helpful for others who want to know more about this. Enjoy (thanks to jupiterstar, taken from it) :

Spoiler for click:

There's a lot of extra/alternate stories in this game for diehard fans of Kiminozo and those who follow Age in general. I, unfortunately, am not one those diehard fans as there are some elements and characters they added in there from other series that I didn't know about. There was more than enough to keep me entertained.

The game contains a re-telling of the first chapter of Kiminozo where you're given choices that weren't available in the original game which ultimately prevented "something" from happening and allowed you to choose different routes, a "what if" scenario as they advertise. You ultimately have 4 alternate routes to pick, Haruka, Mitsuki, Akane, and Manami. When you finish all 4 stories, an "extra" chapter is revealed. This extra chapter is a parody of Kiminozo and Muv-Luv, titled "Muv-Nozo" and has the cast of Kiminozo telling their story with heavy influences from Muv-Luv. In addition, as you finish each of the endings, interviews with the voice actors/actresses are unlocked.

There's also a collection of 10 short stories which they call "Another Episode Collection." 9 of these stories are told from the perspective of characters other than Takayuki. They're the game version of the stories originally posted on Age's web site under each character's description. The last one is an extension of the radio drama that was included in the Dramatheater Vol. 4 CD. They bundle in a bonus mini-game/puzzle with Ayu rearranging things at the Sky Temple restaurant, a remake of the one with Age Maniax and to top of this CD, they throw in two dramas, encoded in MP3 format -- one is a short 10 minute story, the other is a full episode of Kiminozo radio.

Included with the disc is a Rumbling Angel card of Haruka's parents, a bunch of ads, and the manual. Included on the disc are sound files for your cell phone (cell phones in the US can't really do that) where the different characters announce that you have a call, and such. There's also a collection of really high resolution wallpapers.

The game isn't as long as the original, obviously, but was longer than I had expected. The first chapter with Haruka took me almost 8-10 hours (same as original). From there, the difference between the main storyline and alternate routes took me about 2-3 hours a piece. I managed to finish all of the "Another Episode Collection" in 2-3 hours

The game engine is improved from the original and they use some of the scrolling and panning features.

The music is the same as from the original game. The endings to Mitsuki and Akane use songs from their character single. Haruka's has a new song, "The Courage From Just A Word" which I love (it's not out on a CD though, unfortunately). The ending to "True Lies" also has a song, but I'm not sure whether it's original or from Muv-Luv/Akane Maniax. There are new pictures in the game, but a lot of it is taken from the original.

Overall, I enjoyed all the stories, many of which provided some more background stories to what was in the whole game. I love the radio dramas and if I were only in Japan, I could listen to it every week... While a lot of Kiminozo is based on off-color sexual humor, it's kept in check. I could have done *without* the sex scenes though, especially Akane's biologically correct one.

Rating: 4/4

The interviews had the 5 main characters in this game, Takayuki, Haruka, Mitsuki, Akane, and Manami give some thoughts after they finished recording in the studio. One of the questions the girls were asked was that if they were a guy, who would they date. All of them except for Tomo-rin (Mitsuki) picked Haruka and consensus was that Mitsuki was too brutish, Akane was too young, and Minami said she still has a negative impression of Manami [I would too!].

The radio drama MP3s are:

すかいてんぷるメイプル支店 (Sky Temple Maple Branch): Before the store opens, the store owner, Joy, has two of his employees, Mitsuki and Haruka sample some phallic-shaped pudding. As they're slurping it up without spoons, Joy and Takayuki are peeping and Joy gets horny observing. The second half occurs after the store closes and Joy asks each of them for ideas to show customers their appreciation. They come up with various food items to give them [yawn...boring].

君のぞらじお出張版 (Kiminozo Radio Business Trip Version): The 45 minute long program first starts off with Joymax as a teacher teaching his students, Haruka, Mitsuki, Takayuki, and Akane english conversation. He has Akane say "sex," Haruka moan "oh, man," [that's what it sound like to me] and Mitsuki say "penis." To end the scene, Akane fires her Antenna Beam to get rid of Joy. The next portion introduces Tomomi Uehara, the voice of Akane, as the special guest. The first half of the conversation, about 20 minutes, is devoted to the seiyuu talking about their first impressions of each other. Interesting enough, Tomomi thinks Minami as a "dark aura." I kinda got that sense too from Minami's interviews. The next section has the seiyuu doing silly inpromptu songs. Ironically, Haruka is the only one who's shy about singing. [While I don't like her singing that much, Akane, to me still has a very unique voice].

The "Another Episode Collection" consists of stories originally from the character descriptions on Age's web page that they put into the game.

桜散る丘で（前編） (At the Hill Where Sakura Leaves Fall, First Part): Tells, from Haruka's point of view, the first time she finds out about Takayuki's special place atop the hill and also when she first tells Mitsuki that she likes him.

桜散る丘で（後編） (At the Hill Where Sakura Leaves Fall, Last Part): Similar story as the first, except this time, it's told from Mitsuki's point of view and her thoughts about helping her hook up with Takayuki.

風に揺れる水面 (The Water That Ripples in the Wind): From Mitsuki's point of view, it tells about the day that Takayuki said that she would look nice having short hair. She ponders about it as she's taking a shower after practice and ultimately realizes that she has some feelings for him too, even if it means betraying Haruka.

いつか、きっと。。。 (Someday, Certainly...): At a swim meet, young Akane watches Mitsuki win and tells about how she wants to one day be in Mitsuki's shoes.

胸の奥の忘れ物 (The Forgotten Item in My Heart): Manami is packing up to leave for her relatives. She only has limited space, so a lot of items are left behind. At first, she leaves behind a picture of Takayuki. However, she turns around having just closed the door to retrieve the picture.

まけないもんっ！ (I Won't Give Up): MayuMayu is being a klutz at work and has thoughts about how she can't do anything right and might get fired. She confidence returns after helping feed a stray cat. [I'm impressed that MayuMayu has more complex thoughts than what she projects].

大空寺降臨 (The Coming of Daikuji's): The story tells about how Ayu was told by her dad to work at the Sky Temple to mingle with normal people and her first day on the job having to deal with the fat otaku owner (store manager?) and Takayuki [She speaks to her father in an extremely polite tone, something I've never heard before].

君のためにできること (What I Can Do For You): After Haruka's accident, Shinji observes Mitsuki's downfall as she starts losing motivation in swimming and in life.

がんばろう (I'll Do My Best): Hotaru wants to do something special for the graduates of the nursing academy and decides to make dolls in their likeness. She thinks that she doesn't have any help, but her roomie, Hoshino makes some for her and tells her that she doesn't have to do everything herself.

True Lies: The first half of this story is the same as the last track in Dramatheater Vol. 4 where Takuyuki finds out that he and the other girls (except for Ayu) are "antenna people" denoted by some hair that sticks up. Ayu attacks them and using their "antennas" they fire off laser beams to fight. Sumika has a cameo in this game version, but the dialogue is pretty much the same regardless. The drama extends with Joji (Akane Maniax, I believe) and some Muv-Luv characters that I'm not too familiar with. To my surprise, Umeda, one of the characters I haven't seen before, is voice by Yuji Ueda, also the voice of Keitaro in Love Hina. Everything is linked to Love Hina, isn't it?

So finally, the four endings are as follows:

Haruka - When Mitsuki is nagging Takayuki to buy her a gift, a choice shows up where you can choose to go with the original route, at which point it shows the original intro to the game and ends. The other option is if you brush her off and head to where Haruka is. Takayuki makes it before Haruka gets run over and gives her the book. They spend the rest of the day hanging out. They also go to the museum, where they see the original "Mayaru" painting. Three years later, Takayuki is at Hakuryo University with Haruka and Shinji. Mitsuki is looking forward to the Olympics in Athens this year.

Mitsuki - Takayuki rejects Haruka when she confesses to him on the hill. A little later, Haruka tells Takayuki that she knows that Mitsuki and Takayuki have feelings for each other and wants to help. Takayuki accepts her support. At a swim meet, Takayuki meets Akane but doesn't know who she is and doesn't bother pursuing her. On the day they originally took the picture on the hill (day of the summer festival), Haruka invites Takayuki and Mitsuki to the festival. However, Haruka doesn't show up saying she's sick, leaving Takayuki and Mitsuki alone. They bump into Akane who tells them a conflicting story, so they know something is wrong and find Haruka on the hill and her plan is revealed. Three years later, all of them are attending Hakuryo University.

Akane - Takayuki rejects Haruka and doesn't accept her help in trying to hook up with Mitsuki. At the swim meet from Mitsuki's route, Takayuki starts hanging out with Akane (but doesn't know who she is). Akane tells her about her sister's love problems and Takayuki gives advice without knowing he's the person in question. Takayuki finally finds out on the day of the festival that Akane is Haruka's sister. Aftewards, Haruka finds out about their relationship when Akane announces it to the world after she finishes a swimming competition. Three years later, Mitsuki is the only one not at Hakuryo University, but she's still involved in swimming and competes with her at a meet.

Manami (I kinda rushed through this one) - Takayuki sees Manami at a store and decides to say "hi" rather than just ignore her as in the other three routes. Takayuki wants to get closer, but Manami is terribly shy even though she also loves Takayuki. Takayuki gets hurt running after her and gets hurt. Manami, feeling a bit guilty, comes to his house and helps out with housework as he's a bit incapacitated. Things seem okay until Manami's grandmother, who she lives with, passes away. Manami is forced to move to her relatives in Hokkaido (I think, but regardless, far away). She wants to stay at Takayuki's, but he says she can't be so childish. Three years later, Takayuki moves out of his apartment and flies to where Manami is to attend college there.

After finishing all 4 stories, an "Extra" appears in the menu. The "extra" story starts off on Aug. 6th, where Takayuki wakes up to find Mitsuki sleeping next to him. Haruka comes into the house to see them and knocks the lights out of Takayuki. At school, Mitsuki is a new transfer student and is already trying to get close to Takayuki. Both Mitsuki and Haruka demand your attention and you're given a choice (it also tells you the result):

1) Eat Haruka's Lunch (Bad Ending)
2) Eat Mitsuki's Lunch (Bad Ending)
3) Run Away

Choose 3. After school, Haruka gets run over by Dr. Kozuki in her busted down yellow sports car. Takayuki returns to find that the hospital bed is in his room and Akane there waiting. Akane draws graffiti on Haruka's face. Haruka wakes up and freaks out, thinking it's been 3 years and also about her face. Takayuki wakes up from this dream...or was it...

I'm having the same error. It says the programe can't find the start script "main.rsx"

So I was wondering is anyone here having the game which is functioning? Might be a great help if someone can upload that script.

[Littm]

It's easy, set your system language to japanese, then reinstall once again all files (if this a demo - then unpack files again and reinstall them) and play... The problem here that a real installer is a rUGP too and it's unpacks main files after the "first install".

Hmm how to set the system language to Japanese? I forgot how.

BTW mine isn't the demo, it's the full 2.82GIG .ISO file I DLed online. Mind telling me the step by step to install it? I tried using NTLEA v0.86 Beta to run the rUGP installer but it gives the main.rsx error =\
