In my opinion, 2023 has quite possibly been the best year so far for PC-98 translations in general, and today, we get two more: elf's SHANGRLIA2 and Alice Soft's Rance: Hikari wo Motomete (also known as Rance: The Quest for Hikari)! Both are VN/RPG hybrids in one way or another and were fantranslated and prepared for release by the duo Alpharobo and BabaJeanmel. They were made available to the public on October 28, 2023.
