LaSalle Ishii's Childs Quest English translation
ラサール石井のチャイルズクエスト · Rasaaru Ishii no Childs Quest · Stardom Warriors
The Woolsey Fan Company's English localization of Namco's showbiz RPG, renamed Stardom Warriors, with a 2023 revision by Polinym.
What's translated
The Woolsey Fan Company released a full English version of the game in 2019 under the title Stardom Warriors, written as if it were a period US release. It even comes with a made-up strategy booklet in the style of an official player's guide to help with the trickier parts.
In 2023 Polinym released a revision that adds a new font and some altered graphics, revises and expands the translation so less text is abridged, and brings the names and lore in line with Octo Vinctum, the sequel.
The same authors also made a separate, harder variant that undoes the localization changes and restores LaSalle Ishii, the Childs and the Japanese place names, with prices, clues and grinding made tougher on purpose.
