    Conjueror got a reaction from XReaper in Baldr Force Exe: As promised   
    Omg, it was my 37th VN a couple of forevers ago. So close!
     
    I still think it's better than Baldr Sky because it takes three times less time to tell a better story.

    Conjueror got a reaction from Narcosis in "For sale in Japan only": A Japanese developer's perspective on the eroge embargo   
    You should keep in mind that it's the Rapelay incident that caused this whole "Japan only" thing to begin with, and it has nothing to do with Japanese and everything to do with the dumbasses from UK. It's not about them being xenophobic, but about west being openly hostile toward their product.
     
    Try looking for a "Japan's Sales Only" label in a game released before 2009 -- you won't find one. This wasn't a thing before the west outright attacked eroge industry. Also, from the way it's worded I'd say the "is that ok? Where's the line?" is a question that's partly directed at you, the west, as in: will you come with burning stakes at our door again if someone has brought home a game he bought in our country?
     
    What we need is to make west accept the concept of visual novel and eroge, and the "Japan Sales Only" label will swiftly go away. No one's so xenophobic here as to ignore profit, as long as it doesn't mean you're gonna end up lynched for it ( ). How would you fix this is beyond me though, eroge aren't particularly respected in Japan either. Aaah, just remembering that RapeLay debocle fills me with so much rage... It's as if some ppl exist solely for the purpose of ruining good things.

    Otherwise, yeah, what Clephas said.
