Oof. I feel like I had something similar happen with me for VS1 and HSoS; sure, VS1's a finished work, but I really wanted to see where the story would go. Though for me, I at least had the powers of Zephgarus's translation docs and Textractor to help me vaguely understand what the game wanted of me and what the story was.
If Dangen does get to finally translate HSoS, I might join as a tester, since multiple playthroughs in JP has definitely keyed me into a fair few little things.
