Those are some sweet ass announcements.

Oh yea I think I remember Suina getting absolutely destroyed there for me

You can probably level whoever you want, but the ones I felt were especially strong(possibly becasue I leveled them more) was Yuela, Emilita, (and around chapter 7 spoiler maybe?)

I don't remember when you could get what, but the "Prevail" skill is really good, especially on Yuela. It's on her earth outfit if I remember right.

That's right. Wanko from Majikoi too.

I tire of the word tire.

I would say Mahoyo. You could probably watch some of the fight scenes without text and it would still work, cause they have so much animation. Spoiler warning on that video though.

Mahoutsukai no Yoru has a pretty unusual opening with no vocals and a lot of scenery shots.

So what you are claiming is that you don't belive they will provide a free patch for the people who bought the game, and instead release a separate V.2 which you have to buy again? That would indeed be a scummy move, but I very seriously doubt they would do something that ridiculous.

And how does this scheme work? They aren't selling the fix?

Are you implying that they get more money by releasing it broken first and fixing it later? How would that even work?

I wouldn't say it is. The only thing I've actually seen people point out is the translation of one the side characters way of modifying the MC's name. I remember seeing a few issues myself; like icha-icha being translated as make out, even when it's not very approriate. Also the tagline or whatever you would call it, while it was fine when it came up in the dialogue window, it's a mess in the main menu and OP — I think that might have been the developers though. Unless I'm forgetting something, it was pretty minor stuff.

There are very few traits that I outright dislike, even among the more negative ones. I don't tend to like emotionally/mentally weak characters. Depends somewhat on the setting though, and a bit of bravado and bravery can provide some nice counterbalance. Being a damsel in distress can dry up any positive emotion I have for a character pretty quickly. There is one thing that can really put me off though: Running away because they see themselves as undeserving/a burden. I have suprised myself with the genuine hate I have felt for characters who have done this. These apply to characters in general and not just heroines btw.

Wasn't it based on a vote, the amount interest or something from the Japanese readers? Feels like I have a memory of something like that.

I knew they were a thing and wanted to try one, the "barrier of entry" was actually finding one though(this being around 2008). At first I couldn't find one in English and tried an untranslated one; I quickly came to the conclusion I couldn't even understand half of it. After some more searching I found a translated one: "Yukizakura", I really liked it and continued looking for more. I didn't have any issue getting into the "format" itself though.

When Japanese use bitch they mean slut. Though in the running cadence scene the TL uses the dog type of bitch so that works in some cases too, though I think the audio was "inran" in that scene.

I saw it on 2nd place a while ago I think.

You could check out this twitter thread:

You can check the RPG tag on Vndb too.

This would be relevant to the discussion I suppose: https://twitter.com/Wanaca91/status/938925993343012864

That's not exactly uncommon though? And it probably makes sense marketing wise, to a person unfamiliar with Japanese a title like that might be too much, and they will just ignore it; weakening the "impression".

I'm pretty sure I've heard it both with and without the "at". My impression is that without "at" is more common though.
