A magical girls thread?
I've started playing Blue Reflection, which is pretty much "Magical Girls - the RPG"

There are english trophies, which usually is a sign that a translation is going to happen.

Can't really say yet, that video was the first boss, and the story so far was mostly the main character being sad about no longer being able to dance ballet due to a knee injury.

I'm now halfway through the game (going by chapter numbers) and so far it has been 90% High School life. The RPG parts are really irrelevant so far, so you probably shouldn't get it if you're expecting anything on that front. They've introduced almost all the side characters now, maybe something will happen eventually.

The language isn't difficult since isn't mostly daily life stuff, but only the main story is voiced. All the side-character content (think S-Links in Persona games) doesn't get voice acting, and there is a LOT of that, so if you're relying on voice acting to understand things, you're going to have a hard time.

Literally everything Gust and Koei Tecmo do nowadays gets an English translation so I'd wait and see if your Japanese isn't decent.

e: videos in the next post

Here's a video that's mostly talking.

The video immediately follows the previous one, with a transformation scene and some battles.

And here's another boss battle with more dubstep and a cool cutscene-finisher. (Battle starts at 5:20, everything before that is mostly messing around with the menus)

I really appreciate the videos, though, that did help me get a handle on the language level. Fully voice acted games, which this seems to be, are great for me because I can hear the pronunciation of and look up words I'm not sure about. Also helps that the battle menu is in katakana. In the past I've bought both the Japanese and English releases of stuff, so I might do that if localization is going to take a while. It's good practice!

There's probably more unvoiced than voiced text in the game. It's just the main story that's fully voiced.
