I'm about 2 inches from poasting a huge image of myself in a Cookie Monster shirt, because I don't think we have a large enough monster image loaded on the forum to express my need to bump this topic, since Hito logged in 3 days ago. I don't even care if it's "another month still" I just need to know! Pl0x Hito. Don't haetz teh updatez. We understand if you've been busy >9000.

You should post that picture for Great Justice.

 

[sephirothpaine]

................I thought it was all translated by now?

 

[X-SOLDIER]

You should post that picture for Great Justice.

I'll do so when my lady brings it home. It's being washed, or I'd have posted it now. I'm thinking that I'll add it as
:xmonster:
if it's epic enough.

[Lord Noctis]

Not sure about hito's progress, but I found that someone else is working on translating Case of shinra. Heres the first part.

That hasn't been updated for quite a while now actually.

 

[OWA-2]

We wont ever see the translation, will we? *sad*

 

[casey]

i actually email xcomp to see if he was continuing case of shrina and on saw someone else was asking if he was doing it and he said hitoshura was doing it, i emailed him jokinly sayin to tell him to hurry up and he said, and i quote " don’t know the guy… You should have dropped over at the Thelifestream.net forums and tell him yourself. Real life have to take priorities since we’re doing this for free and still have to make a living ". some other ppl posted after me sayin well since he gave us a tease and started it that he should finish, but no bite. all this happeded in august, it is now october. i think we will be waiting a long time for case of shinra guys lol. i want it soo bad. to bad square didnt make make a english version. Japan gets all the goodies.|!

 

[Tennyo]

Well I can understand if he's frustrated by the comments. Translators do do it for free and it takes a long time to put stuff out, but a lot of people don't seem to realize the hard work that goes into it and are ungrateful.

I had made the suggestion once that hito set up a paypal account for donations, but he didn't seem interested in any sort of compensation. I would totally donate to the cause, though. I think these translators deserve it.

But I am worried, though. You guys don't think something bad happened to keep hito away, do you? I'm not worried about the translations at all anymore, just him.

Tell us that you're okay, hito!

 

[casey]

i wasnt trying to say im ungreatful, i know they work hard and i understand that. I am greatful, i was just simply posting his response to me. thats all. I hope u werent offended by it. sorry.

 

[Tennyo]

Oh no I wasn't offended, and I get that you were only joking, but xcomp might have not seen it that way. I'm sure he gets comments like that a lot and I can understand why he said to you what he did.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

In hito's case, we're really not sure where he's at and the Staff (me included) are actually kind of worried about him! So I don't think he's avoiding us or anything.

But other than that, translators just 'disappearing' because the workload is too rough or they don't want to do it anymore is and always have been a fucking dick move. Translators are under no obligation to anyone to continue requests for translating, or do anything, really, but if you are translating some work for the community and people are counting on you or eagerly awaiting something, it's only polite to let everyone know if other obligations prevent you from doing it, or you just flat out don't want to do it anymore. Being passive aggressive and just 'avoiding' everyone is really fucked up.

When's the last time anyone talked to hito, or he logged on? I'm with Tennyo, I don't care about the translations I just hope he's ok.

 

[Max Payne]

I do find it odd how he is suddenly absent with no real comment on his whereabouts.

 

[Tennyo]

When's the last time anyone talked to hito, or he logged on? I'm with Tennyo, I don't care about the translations I just hope he's ok.

It really is unsettling. I mean, he doesn't seem the type to just skip out on us without a good reason, and I'd hope that if he couldn't finish he'd tell us. So it does worry me. True, I tend to always think the worst but still.

Hito just come say that you're okay so we know that you are!

 

[Alex Strife]

Hope we hear about him, soon. I'm kind of worried, too...

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

Hito got kidnapped by BEKs. This is my theory until something new comes up.

 

[Tennyo]

Ah, so that's it. Not sure what they are but still. I'll go with it.

Hito last logged in on September 11th, so I think he fell into a time anomaly and died in the twin towers.

Grim.

If poor Hito has indeed succumbed to a time anomaly, let's not be so quick to assume he was a VICTIM of the attacks...

You mean a time AND teleportation anomaly.

 

[casey]

The only thing that annoys me is, all the other otwtas, are all done, and this story seems like its taking forver!! and we are never gunna see, and i think its also the most antcipated one. It would be really nice to see it come out soon. If he doesnt do it then i duno who will, xcomp made it clear to me he is not doing it. So, i gues we wait and see. Hope hito is ok to. Maybe i should learn japanese and just read it my self lol. Althoguh im sure the story will be out b4 i learn one word lol.

You're not giving people here the whole picture... You were telling me to tell Hitoshura to hurry up so I said all that to back him up, not because I'm angry. I'm pretty used to seeing netizens taking things for granted.

But other than that, translators just 'disappearing' because the workload is too rough or they don't want to do it anymore is and always have been a fucking dick move.

Being passive aggressive and just 'avoiding' everyone is really fucked up.

I hope you're not pointing at me because I clearly said on my blog I wasn't doing it because Hitoshura had said he was working on it after I had finished Yuffie's story.
