Sad to see another game with such a low number of votes. It deserves to be a lot higher. It is still a game not officially available outside of Japan. Don't see a good reason for them to keep it and not have at least an English translation of this game.
Call me cringe all you want but despite never being able to play it this game has had an immense impact on my life. The primary reason I chose to start learning Japanese, a decision which would go on to impact nearly every aspect of my life, was because I wanted to experience this for myself. So much has changed since I first heard about it, and after all these years, I just need to experience this game for myself.
Those games also need your vote!

City of Heroes
City of HeroesCity of Heroes was a superhero based MMORPG that ran from April 2004 to November 2012. In April 2019, source code capable of running a City of Heroes server was distributed widely. This made it possible to create City of Heroes servers outside the direct purview of NCSoft and revived interest in the game, which by then had been out of development for more than six years. As of January 2024, NCSoft has not moved to have servers based on this source code shut down. On January 4, 2024, NCSoft officially granted Homecoming Servers LLC who operated the rogue server Homecoming: City of Heroes an official license to host the game.
