0.00%

This has no chance of coming to the west.

And VNs as VNs are never English subbed.

Don't you mean never English dubbed?

Or do you mean that no VN that never released outside the asian region has english subs?

If it's a VN, it does not have Asian version with English subs.

Or in other words, Asian versions with English subs are never VNs.

Aren't you forgetting about Clannad?

 

Edit: Never mind, that's the Japanese version with English subs. My bad.

I know it's more or less treated like a different region but you don't count @Undead Wolf's example of Clannad not as asian version with English subs?

 

And I was just asking as you never know for sure what languages are part of an asian release. E.g. personally I was kinda surprised when I saw that the physical asian releases of Ys Origin or Digimon Cyber Sleuth: Hacker's Memories contained european languages like French or German. Both aren't VNs so your statement is still correct. Personally I wouldn't make such a bold statement, though. Instead I would say it's more likely that an asian release of a VN most likely won't feature English as a sub-option unless the publisher already planned a Western release beforehand.

Clannad is a bit specific case I would say. The game has an actual western release, albeit digital-only, so from the business perspective, having an option of physical English subs version when the localization was planned to be released together is a win-win situation =D

Well, we do have the almighty interwebz  

And there's always someone who reports findings

Maybe it's a bold one, but if we consider the state of Asian English releases, which are much common now so we have a solid base for statistics, and that they have no VN among them...

Well, I would say it's pretty much reality :/

I do get it, translating a complete VN would take much more than non-VN game since they are text-wise much longer (not that most players would know about this )

That's mostly the case now as well. Majority of Asian English releases were later released in the west. And Asian versions are just for the physical Vita geemu  

Sure, there are exceptions like Marie Rose in a tight bikini, Gundams, MoeKuro, etc.

Is there a reason the CSS doesn't load for me? Is it a problem with adblock or something?

Not sure, it all works fine for me and I use adblock.

 

Maybe try the global version of the site: https://www.yesasia.com/global/new-game-the-challenge-stage-亚洲中文版/1069085982-0-0-0-en/info.html
