its probably in the works since it just released not to long ago otherwise the original PC versions didn't have any voice acting so they'll have to make the console editions which were originally Japanese release only work for these partial translated versions. The process of doing that takes plenty of time & if they give the patch for free then I don't think anyone has the right to complain about how long it takes. Now in regards to me calling this a partial translation before anyone asks that's precisely what it is chapter 1-4 & 5-8 were originally 1 game Mangagamer split them into separate 1's.

thank you

Yes, but only the voice patch and not the console graphics.
https://07th-mod.com/wiki/Higurashi/Higurashi-Part-1.1---Voices-only-Patch/

yes well I was referring to this https://vndb.org/r63670 which says its still a TBA meaning in development not complete & this patch does upgrade the graphics to 1440p,includes the voices,background art, the sprites move there mouth with the voiced lines so ya technically you could download only the voice patch but your not geting the entire experience by doing that plus I believe they state that you won't get any support from them if you do that so do it at your own risk.

Umm... I don't think updated graphics are really needed for the "complete experience". Besides, OP just asked for a voice patch.
I also used the unsupported voices-only patches for the previous VNs and I didn't have problems. I think it's generally safe to assume this patch is also okay.

Just keep in mind that there's a lot of censored dialogues so not all lines are voiced.

I personally don't like having to put my screen to a 4:3 aspect ratio all the time plus I think if they're gonna call it a HD remaster they should be having it in a 16:9 with at the very least 720p resolution like all the console HD remakes are getting. Now in regards to the voice patch that the OP asked for I just was trying to give him a patch with full support & so that if by chance they're was a problem that popped up he'd get support from them. I also thought that it be better to have 1 that is considered complete but it's up to the OP to decide whether he/she wants to wait for the patch to be considered complete or just take the voice only patch.

Actually, 07th Expansion released each arc separately, over the course of several years (from 2002–2006). It's true that MangaGamer released all of the question arcs (1–4) together as one in 2009. After that, they released the answer arcs separately, and they released a bundle afterwards. You can see the release histories for the question arcs[vndb.org] and for the answer arcs[vndb.org].

Fair enough my bad still would've been better to release the new retranslations as as a complete over partial .

Or at least more quickly? It can be shocking to realize that MangaGamer was able to get all 8 arcs out over less than a year before, but this second time, it took them 5 years.

Ya they definitely could've released Higurashi quicker since they released Umineko's question & answer arcs pretty fast considering that they were supposed to working on Higurashi 1st. Plus the Umineko VNs are supposed to be just as long as Higurashi's VNs so I'd like to know how they got 1 done quicker than the other.

From what I understand, there were entirely different teams working on them, and maybe they had priorities.

Well I wasn't sure so just hope the team that re-translated the Higurashi chapters did there best with how long they took.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

I don't expect perfection just that they did there best.

Maybe. But cutting corners like they seem to have done lately is a little disappointing.
