#boy i love the af2

[just-vibing-in-the-milky-way]

can't wait to hear your thoughts about spr once you finish it heehee. love seeing reactions from people playing this game for the first time

I finished it today actually!! It was a super fun game, like chef's kiss. I can truly see why ppl love this game so much. I'm so glad I decided to finally play this game after months. I do feel super bad for Scriptless tho, my poor boi lost his bestie!! But damn, I didn't expect the antagonist being a little child. All in all 100% worth my time and I have now fallen into the hole of SPR and probably obsessed over it alongside AF2.

Currently questing for the secret ending have 2 more cards to get (was 9 originally but the last two are in ch 8 so TvT). Hopefully, I will get it tmw. But man, this game became one of my favorites with AF2, Heroes of the Forest and PIXEL.

It's quite embarrassing, but I'm so grateful for your work on Arcana Famiglia. Decision to play this game was made on a whim, just another one otomege out of backlog, finish and check off... except I couldn't move on in the end, aha-ha. AF's story, albeit it was simple, carried meaningful and touching messages; presented good, well thought out characters, and made me genuinely love every line of text. I've never been so happy and eager to read a game in eight years of playing otome games. It's like a tiny miracle.

Miracle that happened thanks to you and your hard work.

I can't stress enough how much I admire you and wish you everything good in this world. Your astounding work on AF even inspired me to take my Japanese classes more seriously, aha! And also pushed me to spent a horrifying amount of money on fanbooks and etc... but it's another story.

and that's with fact i haven't even played af2 yet, oh boy...

I've said it already a couple of time, but still— thank you for bringing a light into my tiny world. Very dramatic, yes, but AF is a beloved game of mine for a reason. Wish you the best and only the best! (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)♥

Ahh please don't be embarrassed!

That's exactly why I wanted to share AF through translation in the first place so I'm glad it was able to bring you some happiness.

Hearing that means a lot to me. So thank you for the kind words and I hope you enjoy AF2 when you get to it too!

Funny story but when I posted my first ever AF2 art like 2 years(?) ago on Tumblr I thought that there wasn't much activity in this fandom anymore. Boy was I proven wrong quickly when ppl were liking that piece. AF2 is probably the main reason I was able to motivate myself to post art more and meet tons of nice and cool ppl and artists. Even if I'm not 100% fixating on this game atm, I'm glad to be apart of the fandom nonetheless.

Thank you to all the amazing ppl in AF2 community!

This is genuinely awesome !! I love it when ppl in the community are supportive nd stuff it's rlly cool :]

AF2 Vir & Neve Epilogue: Birth

In the distant past, there was once a “witch” who took in a “genius”…

~*Flashback: Harbor*~

Traveler (OG Agata): That’s a nice drawing, young man

Boy (Young Vir): …

Traveler (OG Agata): Are you so hungry you can’t speak?

Traveler (OG Agata): Then allow me to buy your Tarocco

Boy (Young Vir): …This…isn’t…for…sale

Traveler (OG Agata): So you can speak. Did you draw this?

Traveler (OG Agata): I see. Then I’ll hire you. You can be a servant at my home

Traveler (OG Agata): And, you can draw for me

Traveler (OG Agata): It would be a shame for your talents to go to waste

Boy (Young Vir): Who are…?

Agata: I am Agata. An eccentric traveler from the island of Nordia in the Nord archipelago

Agata: And you? Is Regalo your home?

Vir: …Vir… Ingeniosus

Agata: Hahaha!

Agata: “To be born a genius”…in Latin, yes? Your parents must have been well learned

Agata: It’s a splendid name. I like it

Agata: You shall live for me

~*Scene: VF Cabin*~

Yuki: Good morning, dear

Vir: ……Yuki?

Yuki: Yes. What is it?

Vir: Right…I had a dream of the past. One I haven’t seen in a long time

Yuki: …A dream of the past?

Vir: I simply think of it as a memory

Vir: Are you feeling unwell at all, Yuki?

Yuki: No, not at all

~*Flashback: Giappone Street*~

Vir: I have a reason for taking you away from there

Yuki: Yes. You bought me, so you may do as you wish

Vir: Haha. That’s some resolve. I only have one request. Otherwise, you can do as you like

Yuki: Oh…

Vir: Form a contract with me. I’d like for you to contract the Tarocco

Vir: I wonder how to explain this in Giapponese terms…

Vir: Perhaps that you’ll be using the power of demons?

Yuki: Demons?

Vir: It’s a power that only you can use. I searched the whole world to find you

Vir: And I want you to grant my wish

Yuki: That only I can… But I’m not as good as Sumire

Vir: You don’t need to be like her

Vir: Just do what you can

Yuki: …

Vir: If you grant my wish, then I shall also grant yours

Vir: But, it will affect you physically and I can’t say for certain how

—Later—

~*Flashback: Inn*~

Yuki: Vir-sama

Yuki: I want to grant your wish. Please tell me how I can

Vir: Are you sure?

Yuki: Yes… But, I also have a request

Vir: I’ll be happy to grant any you have

Yuki: There’s just one. Please keep me by your side, always

Vir: How modest… You know I’d grant anything you ask

~*End Flashback*~

Yuki: …Vir-sama

Vir: What?

Yuki: Are you still sad…that you lost the Tarocco?

Vir: ……Come here

Vir: This loss is a hole I cannot fill

Vir: So much so, that the suffering I caused Dante and her was far from enough

Vir: Even I’m surprised that I still hold such anger in me

Vir: But…

Vir: Now that I think about it, it may be because my ties and delusions towards the Agata of the past have gone up in smoke

Vir: The purpose of this ship is to free and purify myself of the Tarocco. I wouldn’t want to be trapped by my own creation

Vir: Those within the Tarocco must also have been set free

Yuki: …Vir-sama…

Vir: It was very important to me

Vir: But compared to what I lost…

Vir: I now know the value of what is right before my eyes

Yuki: Vir-sama… I love you

Vir: Yuki…

Vir: You’re my happiness…pure like fresh snow

Vir: We’ll be together forever…

Teo: Vir! Neve! Breakfast is ready!!

Vir: Goodness…

Vir: Let’s go then, Neve

Yuki: Yes, dear

Hi there!!! When i found your blog i felt tremendous amount of happiness, it's so rare to see people posting about Arcana Famiglia content in 2023, you're such a blessing!! I love your translation works so much 😍

Just wondering, have you read Arcana Famiglia light novel? I heard that Felicita has a different boy as endgame in this novel, and i can't find any physical copies :(

You're welcome!

I do have the novels and they are in the translation queue! I ordered them a long time ago from cdjapan (I think? Don't remember anymore...) and had them deliver to our hotel on Tokyo when we came on vacation years ago to save on shipping. Although they are very old now, so if they're out of stock there I have no idea if it's possible to get them overseas anymore...

The novels should be Jolly route by the way. I will either be working on them or Festa Regalo (or both at once in rotation) after AF2 is done.
