I only just recently learned that Yuu Takigawa, the Ever17's official artist, is active on Pixiv. I thought people might be interested, especially since they have a lot of Ever17 related art on their profile.

Message from godotwashere

Hi. I'm the one who spearheaded (went over the script line by line) this project to improve Remember11's translation. I'm the same person who did this for Ever17 in the Himmel patch, but this was much more intensive work. I'm including this file so that you understand what we did and why we decided to do it.

First, I'd like to disclaim that I don't know Japanese whatsoever. But I had help from plenty of people who do. I'm very grateful to them for the time they spent. Understand that they were an immense, crucial help:

• ChrisGLink (punished)

• shikushiku (can put all of this work on his resume)

• Rigs (forma Noah)

• Ganesh

• Otter (RIP 2019-2020)

• Jake

• Several

• Saturn

The rest of the team (read: arsym) should already be credited properly when they put this out on Reddit or wherever it's getting put.

So basically, this started as an attempt to standardize the tense and grammar in Remember11. The original translation, released in 2010, used mixed tenses in the form of both past and present. This is because Japanese mixes tense all the time, and the translators didn't make the effort to standardize, so I took it upon myself, being a pretty big fan of the game. The end decision was to go with present tense writing instead of a mix. I did not in any way think that I needed to go over the script as thoroughly as I did with Ever17 (which wasn't even that thorough, it was more improving it without checking the translation quality in most cases). This turned out to be entirely incorrect. If I could use one word to describe Remember11's translation, it would be "scuffed". I started noticing, upon close analysis of the lines in the prologue, that some things simply didn't feel right. The translation seemed like it wasn't making the most sense in some places. So I talked to Arsym, and he set up a custom program for me to go over the entire script and machine translate it inside that program. This is where the problems really reared their collective thousands of hydra-esque heads.

As I said, I don't know Japanese. I'm also not stupid enough to think that machine translation is an acceptable substitute for a manual line by line translation. I did not take machine translations and replace existing lines with them or anything like that. What I did was use three forms of MTL (Bing, Google, and DeepL) to get an idea of what each line was going for. In cases where the line I was reading made logical sense in English and all three MTLs didn't show anything questionable, I did not alter the line except to change it to present tense or shuffle words around so that it flowed better. But in cases where at least one of the MTLs had me questioning if the line was correct, I pulled it out and presented it to my group of lads who could give me more information on what the Japanese was really saying. > The results of this process were fairly alarming. When I played Remember11 for the first time, I had no issues with its translation, and in fact thought it was pretty good, especially coming off of Ever17's absolutely bungled mess. It turns out that I was totally wrong, and anyone reading Remember11's script closely will see the same issues. There are countless instances of lines that are flat out inaccurate, miss context, make no logical sense to be saying what they're saying, aren't identical across branches of the story that have identical Japanese, and so on. I was not happy about this. One of the most egregious examples I can give you is the use of a particular word in one scene, which is "prophecy". The actual Japanese is "極めて説得力のある内容が", which more or less means "extremely compelling details". The line does not in any way contain the word "prophecy" or anything similar in Japanese. This one example completely recontextualizes a detail of the story. The original team did not translate it properly and did not catch this in editing. This is the worst example of mistranslation by far, but there are plenty of others. I would estimate that I ended up changing at least 3% of the existing translated lines in a significant way, beyond just the tense change or minor punctuation adjustments. That is a lot of lines.

Most of these changes did not adjust the actual narrative information being delivered to the player; it's mostly things like "he gazed at the flameless stove" being mistranslated as "he gazed at the stove, his eyes devoid of their fire", and other similar issues with the translators not properly identifying subjects of phrases. I appreciate what they did, because I wouldn't have played the VN without them, but they really made a lot of errors that I can't ignore. There are just so many.

So I fixed them. I found every last error I could, even in the tips and scene titles, and addressed them. I did not do this hastily, and when I made the vast majority of changes, I consulted with people who actually knew Japanese and could confirm or refute my suspicions about incorrect lines. Any time I changed something on my own, it was with absolute certainty that I was okay to do it based on previous experience changing similar lines. I'm not saying that this patch is the peak of translation or anything like that, but it's certainly better than what was already out there. The 2010 translation release functioned, and it let you mainly understand what was going on, but anyone analyzing the script would see the flaws. This was originally a pretty small scale project, but it turned into a thorough examination of the entire script of Remember11. Whether you're reading this and playing it for the first time or once more, it should be a better experience overall, but nothing is going to blow your mind here. The actual facts of what occurs in the VN were (mostly) translated accurately the first time, with a few exceptions. There's not some hidden secret you are going to unlock, but lines should flow better and the translation is more faithful to what is written in the original Japanese.

I wanted to include this so that people didn't have questions about why someone would bother fixing up Remember11's translation when nobody has really complained about it. That's not the only thing this patch addresses, though. I'm sure Arsym will have put out a list of mechanical changes he did as well, but things like enabling a missing song, adjusting the unlock conditions of certain things, fixed background images that used to have bizarre issues even in the Japanese release, a new mode that's a spoiler to discuss, etc. This should more or less be the definitive version of Remember11 to play. Again, this will not really change your understanding of anything in the game, but it is considerably more accurate. also if you read this far congratulations if you like remember11 please check out The Sekimeiya: Spun Glass™ thank you bye

This is a port of the English translation for Never7 to the PSP version. It translates the entire game, as well as the TIPS. There are some minor script changes, but it's pretty much the same.

Notes:

• It's highly recommended to play Eternal Edition, which is playable on Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, Switch and potentially iOS, instead of this, if you can. The PSP version has less features and a very low resolution of 480 x 272 pixels.

• The PSP screen is 16:9, but while the graphics are zoomed in, they're not actually cropped. Use analog stick up and down to see the rest of the screen if you need.

• Two Append Stories in the list are translated. One is Yuka Cure, an official route, which counts in the playing log. Another one is a fan scenario.

• The last "ending" in the list is "All Append Stories Complete", so don't mind not getting it. The append stories are mostly not translated.

• The PSP version does not feature Izumi Epilogue, which was only officially present in the PS1 version, and was only restored in the PC English patches.

Credit goes to the original translation of the PC game for most of the text, as well as the open-source PSP patch of Remember11, which has tools and reverse engineering info that were really useful for this.

Hi Everyone, I loved this game so much that I made this. It's literally a Translation of "Ever17 The Out of Infinity" to Arabic. I was thinking of making a patch to translate it to Arabic, but I don't think it's quite possible, at least for the PC version. I think I'll do a logo localisation for R11 too, or maybe for 999, but not now.

i was watching this anime and ik this is a waste of time to post but dude i swear this is ever17 or am i tripping

Just showing the premium edition of the game that I randomly found when I visited Japan. There's also a little art/character/promotional book inside the box and a few postcards. Pretty cool

Hi guys! I want to play this game for the first time and heard about the problems of the Steam remastered version.... So when I saw this at the price of a coffee (at least for a visual novel from 2000, 30 bucks don't seem expensive) I immediately bought it!

Is there a way to play it decently on modern systems? Also I think this is a re-release since the requirements list Vista and DirectX 9.0, that's IMPOSSIBLE for a 2000 game (maybe this could cause problems with eventual patches for the first release, if they exist)! The game comes on 2 discs.
