I'm getting sort of bothered by these releases. I was looking at them on PSN, and there appears to be no indication at all that they're untranslated. It feels a little irresponsible, honestly.

Yeah heard about this, that's good news. Good luck trying to play the game with no lick of English or any knowledge on the Japanese language. But then again, there's people that enjoy K-pop and ignore the lyrics and just enjoy the music itself.

Well of course it's untranslated. It was never localized when it came out for PS1. If Visual Novel games would have just been localized, or for that matter any PS1 game that didn't get localized when PS1 games were being released, then we wouldn't need an Import section on the PSN Store for PS1 games. Plus it's called PS1 Import for a good reason.

Plus with a $5.99 price tag, what do you expect a full translation? Of course not.

I'm happy these are being released since America hasn't really had many chances to show that Visual Novels can be sold. Plus Japanese-style Mahjong games, I love having those as well.

I see what you mean, they really should mention it somewhere in the description. The PSOne Imports used to have there own section seperate from the other PSOne titles, but it seems to have disappeared after the PSN Store got that visual overhaul.
