I can't wait for G-senjou either. I too will wait for the full translation, though...patience is a virtue. Plus the anticipation would drive me up a wall if I played some now but couldn't actually finish it. Knowing me I'd be checking for any sign of new progress daily until it was released  :P

G-Senjou finally resuming? Finally! Though didn't they also get a C&D?

Devils Devel Concept project also just recently got a C&D too...


Belgaesh

I'm another that can't wait to finish G-Senjou, since I'm following the project since the beginning.

As for news, Katahane trial patch has been released today.

Wow, I so didn't see this coming. Minori and NNL working together to release the games outside the USA.
Any thoughts how this gonna end ?

Kureha

I think it's going to be expensive, basically this is just going to be Minori selling their own game but in english isn't it?

Meh, who's going to buy a game about a church, some girl in a brown seifuku and a boy?

Mizuno


You guys jumped the gun already? At least I have the patience to wait for their full translation.

Ahhh boy oh boy. The end of this year is shaping up to be the best yet.
Well I don't have any VN to play at that time so I read G-Sen for a while
then got hooked >_>

Funny that they still block foreign ips, but I guess that'll change in in the new 'framework'. TBH not all that interested in minori titles though, only started Ef b/c it got translated, not to say it's bad I enjoyed chapters 1&2, but haven't completed 3 yet and don't feel all that compelled to atm.

I only watched the anime, found out my favorite character was dead to begin with and her crappy childhood didn't help. So I skipped the game...

Lol, yeh I think that would ruin it for anyone. Haven't watched the anime either have it on disk, but I just don't feel like watching it.

I didn't give Ef a shot because I figured it'd probably be pointlessly depressing.

The manga never drew me in. I always read the summary/blurb but never got into the story of it. Suika's one was pretty good though.

I watched half of the anime episodes, although they looked really pretty they never drew me in. Than I took a break and since than it's just sitting on some corner on my HD, with me having absolutly no interested in digging it out.

I doubt NNL got the ability to purchase the license of ef and distribute it, so it's probably gonna be a Minori initiative. Maybe they even consider bugging JAST with it, seeing how they already got ef fully ( well nearly ) translated, JAST would just have to take care of the distribution.

The problem I see, at least with ef would be, that everyone who's interested in the game pretty much already got it. I mean NNL mentioned something around 100k downloads a month ago.
If the game really gets released you can maybe reach a few not so well adversed VN-fans and a few guys who liked the game so much they want it in a boxed copy. All in all not really satisfying numbers I would guess.

A clever idea might be, to not relase ef at all, but that new minori title NNL is working on ( though I got no clue what swells might be =P ). That way you can use ef as advertisment and hope ppl will buy "swells" based on the quality of ef.

After all this drama, I doubt they'll have as much drama as they would have if they didn't go all xenophobic. Meh, being a fan of other companies myself, I can understand people buying it I guess. Although if TYPE-MOON ever did a lot of shit I might boycott. Who knows.

But Good Smile Company products I don't think I could ever boycott. RAWR Nendo's. I think I might get a Ryouko one.

On a completely new, or partial-new, topic;

I hear all the manga reading sites are being shut down. This plus those C&D dramas have me wondering what it really is we're doing to those companies/authors over in JP. Is this something we should, as in the beginning was said, lay down and accept; or perhaps we should fight to the bone for our way of life.

I understand almost no one here has anything against piracy, but I'm pretty sure we're all into buying once in a while too. I know I have all 10 of the Toradora! books (I'm pretty sure I've said), and I'm planning on buying the whole set of GTO, GTO 14 days, and Shonen Junai Gumi when I finish learning Japanese.

But what do you guys think? Are they right, or are we entitled to exotic pleasures?
