There were initially plans to translate both BK1 and 2, story and all, into
english. As far as I know, they've been scrapped because the developer
doesn't have a good enough grasp of english to translate the storyline of
either game. There was a project I was involved in for BK2 where we
attempted to use google translate to finish up the storyline, but it proved
to be to difficult without a working knowledge of japanese, so all we ended
up doing was the menues, items and weapons and most of the monsters. I
believe most of the shop texts are translated as well, but can't remember.
This is probably as far as it will ever get unless someone who actually
knows japanese very well gets involved in the project and is willing to put
in the time and effort to translate the entire storyline. And I don't know
that BK1 will ever be translated at all, probably not.
Google translate does work to play any of the japanese games though, as long
as you're willing to put in the time and patience, the game outputs text to
the clipboard and you can make sense of a lot of poorly translated phrases.
I've beaten all of the japanese RPG's that have been released so far using
this method, including all 10 of Morokuma's RPG's, BK 1 and 2, MM's Shadow
Line, fighting cores, Geki Ransen and a game called ArkWar. I've also made
it pretty far in Brave of Cloudia, and though the plots don't always
translate well, the game mechanics are understandable and you can generally
get at least a basic idea of what's going on in the storyline. So I
recommend that if anyone wants to play japanese games, use google translate
and put in the effort, don't wait for translations that will probably never
come or you'll just miss out.

Subject: [Audyssey] The first Bokurano Daiboukenn game.
Hello.
If the Bokurano Daiboukenn is a sequel, then does anyone know when the
developer will release the first game or any game in the series in the
U.S.?
It would be cool to play the other games in the series!
