http://www.ricedigital.co.uk/steins-gate-ps-vita-ps3-coming-2015/ Well seems like we have to wait until 2015, we already have the pc version of jast-usa and most prefer pc to play.

I don't see a corresponding entry for: Do you think people's hard work is a joke, Nosebleed?

So the situation for Sekai with Frontwing is probably like so...

To everyone who is a part of Fuwanovel and its many affiliates, Greetings from Japan, and happy holidays to everyone worldwide! As I sit here in my warm room sipping a glass of hot chocolate while typing this message and listening to soothing Christmas music, I can't help but take the time to write a response to Fuwanovel in regards to the holiday season and what it means to me. As many of you are aware, certain countries around the world recently celebrated Thanksgiving last week, and seeing that I wasn't able to enjoy it with the rest of my family being all the way on the other side of the world, I missed an opportunity to give my thanks to the people and things that mean a lot to me and make a huge impact on my life. Thanksgiving is the time of year for many of us to give thanks and be grateful for the many opportunities that are tossed our way, and whether you are a religious sort or a person who tends to keep to themselves, I feel there is always something in our life we can be thankful for. That being said, I want to do a little something different with this post. Before leaving for Japan, I thanked a lot of you for being supportive and giving me an awesome website with which to be a part of, however this time around I want to thank you in a different way. I want to give thanks this holiday season by sharing in the joy of what makes this website a strong foundation for a very supportive family. Without every single member of this site actively sharing in a passionate genre that many people might think odd in the real world, there wouldn't be a place which we call home. While a lot of us have differing opinions on how this site should be run, what makes a good visual novel a masterpiece, or whether h-scenes are acceptable in a game, our driving passion as a community continues to push us forward. States of limbo, lack of progress, and endless discussion are merely parts of the process for making this website what it is today. And so, I want to stop for a moment and give thanks to the many members here on this site for doing what you do. Thank you to all the fan translators, editors, hackers, and group workers who continue to give this medium life, and who continue to make us happy every single day. To us, translating even 100 lines means the world, and without you, there would be no place to call home. Thank you to every single Japanese enthusiast who understands the language and continues to support the genre and provide us with constant assistance in learning a language that many of us believe makes these stories so much more worth it. Learning a language is never easy for a most people, and your passion and helpful advice continues to motivate us in ways you cannot imagine. Thank you to the staff of Fuwanovel who, through all the shit you get daily from hate messages to reports, continue to trudge through the mess of mud slinging and push this site in the right direction. Being a leader is not easy, and while decisions we or anyone makes are not always worth it or have repercussions later on, your continued strive to do what is right moves us along each and everyday. Thank you to the haters of Fuwanovel who continue to despise this site for what it is. While it isn't in my best interest to address this, without you, this site would not grow from its misdemeanors and strengthen itself with each new mishap. You aren't the most healthy members of Fuwanovel, but you do offer advice that on occasion helps us realize our mistakes and move forward. And finally, thank you to every single member of Fuwanovel who make this genre exactly what it should be: a place to not be afraid to share in something we are all very passionate about. Each and every single 1 of you do your best to contribute what you believe will better this website, and while a lot of the things you accomplish may go unnoticed, the things you do are in no way unappreciated. I myself thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this place so much better. We have our social cliques, but in the end as I have always stated, its the family that counts. You are all different, and you all have ways of making this place better for everyone, but in the end every single member focuses on the love of something we all enjoy. So as we come to a close at the end of the year, take a second to stop and think where you stand on this website today. Remember your 1st post, and remember how you as an individual have grown to feel at home in some way or another. With that, I say happy holidays Fuwanovel, and stay safe this season! In addition... What is Christmas without a special surprise? As Rose pointed out, what's a Ren thread without a giveaway? Well, I had originally wanted to wait a day to add this to the thread as part of a special Christmas surprise, but what the hell. Introducing: OriginalRen's Very Merry Christmas Giveaway! No tricks, no gimmicks, and no special rules for this giveaway. As part of the holiday spirit, all you need to do in order to be included in the random drawing is the following: Celebrate the holiday season by adding a "Santa hat" to your avatar. If it already contains a hat, no worries! For the remainder of the month, keep that spirit strong by making something unique and awesome Post in this thread with your new avatar and state your interest in being apart of the giveaway It's as simple as that!

The signups will close next week on Wednesday, December 10th @ 11:59pm JST so make sure you join as soon as possible! Happy holidays once again everyone!

There ain't enough Christmas round these parts. The most Christmasy thing I've seen is that background of the main page that I fear shall crash my browser. Therefore, it's time to get into the Christmas mood (if you know what I mean (I actually mean Christmas mood (how could that even be construed as sexual; I even said "Christmas" (jeez, y'all gotta get your minds out of the gutter)))) with some Santa hats! These Santa hats: Pimp out your avatar. Spread Christmas cheer for all to hear. Are uranium-235 free! Just choose a number from the image below and I'll Santa shizzle up for you. Note that: If your avatar is a gif, it'll obviously be a lot harder to edit, so I'll have to be in a good mood. If you write me a poem about penguins in iambic tetrameter, however, I'll definitely do it. If you want another Santa hat that isn't in the image above (because you don't think my Google image clipart is good enough, you persnicketer), then feel free to post it. I'll have to do editing and stuff, though, so I'd prefer that you choose from the above list. Santa hats don't exactly go perfectly with all avatars, usually because whatever person or thing the avatar contains is too close to the top. For example, see that the hat in mine is slightly cut off. I'll still do my best, however. Don't worry about saving your avatars. I'll save all of your original avatars and then post them another topic after Christmas, assuming that I don't hold them hostage in order to make you swear the pledge to the Oxford comma. EDIT: Whoops, OriginalRen just updated this topic to convince people to add Santa hats to their avatars. I might've screwed everything up, but the Santa distribution shall never cease! -_-

It's been over half a year since I've played the Muv Luv series. It still remains as my favorite VN series and Meiya is still the number 1 in my heart. It has deeply impacted my imaginations since then. I hope we get an alien invasion in the future and Meiya comes to save us. I wish you three a happy birthday in some alternate universe out there!

Noosebleed-senpai, plz notice me ;__; Edit: Noosebleed-senpai noticed me!! <3

You're a genderless dice, what do you know.

How can I help you, dad?

Completed Ikusa Megami ZERO. (IMZ) Really good game imo. My only real complaint was the H-stuff. Otherwise I had a fun all the way through the vn. I ended up liking the rpg elements surprisingly much, I only needed to grind once very early in the game. Otherwise I could play on auto against easy units. Bosses were usually tense and fun. You had to think somewhat and apply tactics to kill them. The story was quite different from I am usually used to. I don't think I've actually ever played a game quite like this. It's more like one of these epic quest kind of games. But with actually interesting dialog and universe. The characters are at times too arch typical for me. But it didn't really bother me because how the story was setup and progressed. I ended up liking many of the characters, and even if I don't like all of them I got into them. Even characters with little dialog I could easily place in the world and personality traits. I felt I understood them fast. Also something that surprised me was the ratio of rpg gameplay and text dialog. Usually as you play you get starved for either. I never really experienced I had too much talking, or too much gameplay. There was a a few times I wish the dungeons were shorter, but I didn't really mind. I feel the vn was really nicely structured, or it just fit me very well. Honestly I am very glad I ended up playing this vn. It's one of those vn most people should have a try with. Other than the h-stuff, It's great. I gave it a score of 9/10 on vndb. I might give it higher, but I don't really want to fiddle too much with 0.x score here. Bottom line I enjoyed it a lot. As for what to play next.. I started to read Irotoridori again. I might read tokyo babel, but I have had enough action for a while. I can't really get into irotoridori as I did IMZ. Setting up playing Shin megami tensei and some other jrpgs. But problematic getting it work perfectly on the emulator, might just buy a hardcopy. I really lazy when things get annoying like this...

Related: 99% sure the OP there uses Tumblr religiously.

They may not have the license but they have other deals on paper. This isn't done entirely on vague oral promises and wishful thinking. I'm not sure Frontwing can actually legally completely pull out right now without a really good reason.

If they do that, then they better bribe the hell out of Sekai and koestl, because honestly, at this point, it's kind of a middle finger to everyone involved to back out.

Welcome to the forums~ It is nice to see we have demographics that only get more and more diverse

Now which version will I choose...maybe if I have the money at the time I'll get both

Welcome to the party! That introduction looks beautiful though. Hope we can talk sometime.

Welcome to the party!

family project, kazoku keikaku. it's been 8 years since i first play this game, still haven't finished it. in fact could not finish it. i don't have the strenght to finished it, to cheat on matsuri in fact. it's the vn, that changed my life perspective. in the moment of my deepest sadness, i always play the bgm, cry and felt better. i'm a man, who lost his father 1 year ago to lung cancer, he's a heavy smoker, no surprise there. age 74. now i live alone with my 75 years old mother. i'm 27 years old. a normal healty, average looking guy. i've got 3.85 gpa in financial management. i'm a very recluse person inside, but on the outside i can act pretty well. i have a good job with 3 subordinates working under me. but i kept my secret inside of me, that i love a vn so much, it drives me on how to live my life. now i fell in love with one of my subordinates who is already married for just 3 years with 2 years old baby she and was 1 or 2 year older than me. she is a strong woman who carried her family. meaning she made most of the money in her family, still taking care of her husband and child while having occasional fight with the mother in law. i was mesmerized by her determination, her integrity and at the same time. felt so shitty... of course she doesn't know, she says she feels lucky to have me as her boss.. i don't feel good right now, so i turn back to the things i loved so much. kazoku keikaku. cause listening to the video 'sakura anatte deatte yokatta' isn't enough anymore. ------ after so many years, i've decide to share my 'feelings' on the best most human clannad predecessor vn. kawahara matsuri. a girl who live in a cardboard box after her parents death.. 16 years old, school at the morning. work at a factory at the afternoon till night, go back to the cardboard box to sleep. rinse and repeat. sawamura tsukasa. if i'm allowed to answer the question 'who am i in one sentence' that would be sawamura tsukasa. he's the personification of myself. every thought of his, every decision presented to him. every decision he made. every feeling he had, every laughter, anger, anoyyance, everything..... is me. there is no other character in anything... that i could relate more than sawamura tsukasa in family project. that is on of the reason why this vn is so so special to me, it felt that it was written FOR ME.. back to matsuri. strong on the outside but very fragile on the inside. working so hard trying to be accepted, afarid of rejection. dont't care about her limit, work work and work to make other people accept her and love her. she wants a family.... a happy one even if its a fake one. in her route, tsukasa and her fiunally buy a house a small flat which used to belong to his family. a cheap one with no bath. no money or anything. but they are happy... the moment when she waited for tsukasa in the dark hoping that he woulnd't leave her, touch me so much that it probably the last thing i would remember on my dying breath. i'm normal in fact so normal that i just want someone like her in real life. someone who is strong, determined, but still fragile on the inside. .... im saying all of this, the deepest thought on my mind in a forum to complete strangers, cause im so miserable right now, i felt like going insane. i don't do diary. i want someone somewhere to read this... if you don't care or care enough to ridicule me, thats all right. even if theres only one person who could share my feelings. thats good enough... i really love her .couldn't act on it of course, i don't want to be the bad guy. thank you, whoever you are if you read this far... thank you

Well, EX songs are being rereleased now, and we don't get our rewards again, which sucks Speaking of sucking, I did when I had my old shitty phone Also, 1000 bonded Kayochin, and it removed Honoka off my top bonds (previous event was 3rd, top 2 same) Lastly, Kayochin's line in the main menu, hnnnnng Always

Jack from (Cho) Dengeki Stryker. Jack is a girl, right?

Ive got money on the fact that frontwing backed out

Kind of reminds me when Mangagamer tried talks with Frontwing whatever happened resulted in bridges essentially being burned. From this I'm willing to bet most if not all the fault was on Frontwing

I mean, I'm not going to say it's perfect, but it's pretty close.

I'm not dreaming, am I...... What a surprise; I was not expecting to win at all. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!

I believe... it's good to believe that killing is bad. But, believing this, you have to wonder whether Kira's methods would lead to fewer deaths/murders. Kira's ideal is this: by showing the world that crimes will be severely punished, fewer crimes will be committed. There are many gray faces to this story. If he can save a million people in the future by killing ten thousand in the present, is he doing good? How do you judge 'good'? I personally tend to think that what benefits the collective mass of people the most can be deemed 'good', but this is definitely something not everyone will agree on. For some people, the idea of 'trading' lives is an act of evil or injustice that cannot be accounted for and cannot be worth any reward. You can contemplate questions such as "what is the value of fewer non-murderous crimes being committed when weighed against the death toll necessary for Kira to establish his rule?" or "is the life of a murderer more/less worthy of being protected than a baby?". In the end, there is no single answer. The answer is whatever you want it to be (...whatever society wants it to be), but it will only be your answer. There is no great authority that will tell everyone 'the answer'. But maybe I just said something that is already very apparent to you. So I guess I'll say that I appreciated Kira for his attempts at martyrdom. He saw a greater goal and sacrificed himself for it. In more ways than he expected to, but even still. That said, I don't support Kira's justice. It's such a precarious justice (exhibited by the fact that it toppled down long before he even succumbed to the law) and the cost of failure is great. side-note of sorts: Its important to distinguish early-story Kira from late-story Kira. As the story goes on, he becomes crazier and crazier in his attempts to flee persecution. His desire to be free and to avoid detection lead him to do things that the idealistic Kira at the beginning wouldn't think of doing. It's also probably arguable that the power itself made him lose it a little. I haven't seen Death Note in years, but my feeling was that this wasn't the case. The power is tied into it, for sure, but I think that fear played the biggest role in his downfall. Fear of failure, fear of a terrible demise and fate, fear of having all of his efforts, what he gambled his soul on if I remember correctly, be for naught.

I guess I'll contribute while it's still not a war. I will always side with Yagami Soichiro, simply because all he wanted was peace. He was aware that society wouldn't simply become perfect if Kira was caught, nor it would be if Kira won, he just wanted all the killing to stop. While I'm aware that Kira wanted the same to some extent, he intended to sacrifice numbers in any proportion if needed, so in the end, I believe they would grow in inverse proportion to what he originally "wished" for. L would do extreme things to reach his objective, but I never felt like he really cared about how many died, to be honest, I always thought that he only wanted to solve the case, just like any other he solved before. Not for humanity's sake, but simply for the pleasure of solving it.

Hey at least Mine and Tatsumi got together in the anime.. in heaven.. yay..?

Well, I sorted through my screenshots, but due to the 25 screenshot limit, I had to omit some less important ones. Here's a list of screenshots when rushing the SR

Jay~~ My opinion of you has highly improved :3

Uhh... let's see... there's some snowflakes (and one giant one), and a girl wearing a scarf because it's cold outside. And that's supposed to be a visible puff of breath (not cigarette smoke). It's kind of plain and simple, but I like the feel of it. It's not too distracting or anything.
