Quite cheap if you ask me, US$ 30 for 7 Original copy (Right?) while new game we need at least the same price for one copy. Either way, like I stated before I had another way to get it, so not much interested. Instead, maybe I'll give some insight about those games based on tier, and I'll explain the reason below. Oh the tier after very good may be outdated though. For Yin Yang, I think it's got quite interesting premise when MC turned into girl, other than that not much other than nukige. Very Good Steins Gate Steins Gate - No need to explain. 2nd best VN at VNDB (For now, although some people may said overated), get many favorable critic on Metacritic and Kotaku. Need I explain more? Good Princess Waltz Snow Sakura Princess Waltz - I'd said good because this is one of 2 worthwhile title from the bundle (Has anyone tried Snow Drop by the way? Is it good or bad?) Some people accuse this game copied Fate/Stay Night, but I think the transformation scene from normal girl to the princess was quite interesting (Well, I'd watch PreCure okay). And this game also had the gameplay and famous eroge seiyuu voicing heroine (Shizuka Itou (Christiane Freidrich from Majikoi, Kousaka Tamaki from To Heart 2) voicing your step big sister, Taguchi Hiroko (Suou Amane from Grisaia, Kagami Sumika from Muv Luv) voicing this character, and Yuko Gotou (Fuyou Kaede from Shuffle, Mayuzumi Yukie from Majikoi), voicing this (According to description she was princess of the earth). The gameplay was involving card, which you must collected bigger number to win. If you ask me is this game quite good, then my answer would be yes (At least back at 2008 compared with many nukige that JAST released). Although I'd said Princess Waltz was good, but if you really into VN with card gaming, I recommended Soukoku no Arterial (Even though it's machine translated), simply because in Princess Waltz there wasn't much chance to test your skill, while in Soukoku sometimes you deal with monster encounter using card battle. Oh, this is the first Pulltop game translated before infamous censoring Konosora case. Snow Sakura - Also quite good back at 2007, when JAST releases many nukige. Although obviously compared to right now it was not quite good. I think Snow Sakura was a moege if we call it now. For the cast, we got Taguchi Hiroko again and also Akane Tomonaga (Kazami Kazuki from Grisaia, Kawakami Kazuko aka Wanko from Majikoi), and Shion Miyabi voiced Daidouji Tomoyo (From Card Captor Sakura) alike. Also Satou Rina (Ushiromiya Ange from Umineko) voiced the main heroine, Souya Misaki which if we want to compared to recent translated moege, she like Chisato from Koichoco. The graphich to be honest was quite standar, but I remember the OP song was resembling Yuiko from Little Busters them imo. Oh for the story it goes like our MC was told by his father to live with his uncle at Hokkaide for a while, and from there he will had date with 1 of 5 heroine iirc. Once again for now it was very standard, but back at 2007 compared to many nukige release, of course the people will thinking this game is very good. Very Bad Pretty Soldier Wars AD 2048 Do You Like Horny Bunnies Both of those are very bad. I tried Horny Bunnies, and to be frank the graphic was quite standard and the girls sprite was not very good. As for my experience, tried playing it and dropped it after few second, although some of you may find this game good though. For PSW 2048, apparently JAST tried to release H-SRPG but from the review I'd read it's kind of unbalanced since it was supposed to be 1993 released (Although if you ask me the remake graphic was quite good). The problem was there is none of the standard feature from SRPG like item, equipment, skill, etc. Also the girls were same statistically (Could anyone confirm this for me?). As for PSW, right now it was 3rd lowest in VNDB. I think that's all I could comment from JAST bundle, although I couldn't comment about Yin Yang and Snow Drop for now.

Bumping the thread. Sorry for being late, but here's another update. My comment, actually you didn't need to be perfect. Perfect or not, I think that's enough for me. Although it depend on the people I supposed. Hopefully it didn't take too long for Akerou to release the patch. Edit - Apparently all of the old link already died, so I'll remove all of the hyperlink to SakuSaku old translation page.

@EcchiOujisamaActually I want to ask Bunny Black 2, but looks like I was half tire when typing that, but thanks anyway. Sorry, and thanks to @CeruleanGamer for the information regarding discipline. So we'd had triangle the most, right. And in Bunny Black 2, could we got the main girls joined permanently or we'd only could dependent to the monster for endgame? And could we got the character with green discipline for first playthrough or not (Bunny Black 2)? Thanks in advance. And I'd heard this game is quite hard, so guess I should be prepared and advance very carefully. PS One more thing, the people that we could only control was MC remind me of Brave Soul, very old H-RPG (I though at 8 years ago it was quite amazing that we had H-RPG. But after I saw Sengoku Rance, Eiyuu Senki, Kamidori, and Duel Savior I thought Brave Soul was lame lol). Edit - Nevermind. After digging this thread and VNDB GD, apparently the main girls we could get for endgame were Mary Alice (Aroduc's translation) and Firiana. And both of them apparently had green discipline directly.

I want to try Buuny Black next, so before playing I had some question. 1. I'd read in VNDB thread there was a stat called discipline. Discipline mean that how much control you had on the party member. The question is, could you list female demon who could you con.... I mean had high discipline? 2. Is there the girls from the cover will joining the party? Will they had high discipline? I'd heard about how hard this game is. Might try it out. Oh the reason I asked those 2 question because that I remember back in Persona 3 we couldn't had freedom much in control our party member, although my concern was more like couldn't control female character much lol (My true concern). I think that's only my questions about this game for now.

My knowledge of football was very shallow since I lived in Indonesia, and Indonesian people only knew football from Eyeshield 21 manga. But I did feel very sad of how one of the best Little Busters reviewer got drunk because of his favorite football team lost. Well, I think I'll give you all of your most favorite girl picture to cheer you up. Hope you get well soon. 1. Mio 2. Kuruguya 3. Rin 4. Kud Hey, I'd only following OP suggestion okay. I think I'd heard that if some depressed people seeing his favorite girl, maybe he'll feeling better, so I tried to did that here, and hopefully it'll help @solidbatman.

@CeruleanGamer Actually what I want to ask was how to unlock the fighting against Angolmoa. The reason was because I'd already finished all Nostradamus event and I'd still not unlocked it. Turn out the requirement was so easy, you just need to defeat Yamata no Orochi (First city in Mu Continent, El Dorado. Unlocked after Mu was defeated with ALL territory become Zipang (Including Babylonia, Uruk, and Babel)) and it'll unlock the last Africa mission *facepalm*. Also apparently you need to finish all character quest, and I'd actually already finished ALL character quest, except Uesugi Kenshin one and 2 PSV Exclusive Character. But, thanks for your tips. Oh, for Kenshin she was voiceless because of some unknown reason (In game it was some sort of side effect of dimension travel, while in company I think they still undecided whose seiyuu that should voiced Kenshin lol). As for Kenshin sweetheart, I kind of wonder what happened if he come to Eiyuu Senki world. I think all heroes will be not virgin anymore (Unlike Chihaya who only had sex with few girls (I didn't know offscreen though)), and I think Kenshin's sweetheart will be happy with 60+ beautiful woman lol. That's all from me. PS The name of Kenshin sweetheart was Rance, just in case you didn't get what I mean. (Of course you got it)

Okay. May I asked for confirmation? Could I unlocked Angolmoa in Eiyuu Senki? To unlock it, should we leave Nostradamus quest finished after marching Mu for the first time or not? Because I'd remember that I unlocked battle vs Angolmoa in previous playthrough and since this time I finished all character quest before Mu, there was none of Angolmoa event (Not the lame 9000 HP, but 1500000+ more HP). tldr How to fight Angolmoa with 150.000 HP? Thanks in advance. PS Before confusing thing again, I'D ASK FOR ORIGINAL VERSION. Sorry for all caps.

About the Steam release, I'd think it would be interesting to see how it goes, although since Sakura XXX always show boobs thing, guess it's logical that Kindred Spirit slip into Steam? Just my opinion tough. As for last 2 couple of the week, my comment are (Continued from previous post) 4. Youka who dressed as rocker got interested in Airu. So much that she always come late to watch Airu face since Airu job was to watch the school gate in case there was latecomer who want to escape from punishment. Oh since Youka was a rocker (According to herself), she made a song for Airu which for the lyric it was more like someone who stalk her lover and want to engage with SM play lol (I didn't knew if it's real or translation, but I agree with Yuna that the lyric was ridiculous. Here's the Kouba song lyric, and feel free to laugh at it or enjoy it. If you want my very honest opinion, 1st and 4th stanza sound like some masochist desperate a love from the crush who was sadist lol. The 3rd stanza looks alright, but I think it's too much or hyperbole. And 2nd line I agree with Yuna, it make Kouba looks a lot like stalker lol. If some of you here had more understanding to music, please give the comment since my music knowledge was bad and I didn't know how to make a song, although from the lyric above the song was obviously failure. 5. Miyu and Matsuri, vice captain and captain of running track. Also the 2nd longest couple in the game (The longest was Sachi and Megumi for 30 years), for around 4 years. Miyu was too careful for hiding her relationship, while Matsuri was to carefree. Although it was explained in game that Matsuri parent more open minded while Miyu parent was close minded. For Matsuri voice, since the seiyuu was also Oukawa Mio, she was sounded like Lu Bu in Eiyuu Senki. Also apparently sometimes Matsuri want to break the rule that was established by Miu. I think that's all my commentary for couple of the week. For now it's one week left until this game released.

@fun2novel Thanks. I'll give the warning to the review. Although to me I think it was quite minor spoiler compared to ............ Never mind. And could you point out the spoiler for me, since I think there was none when I'd read the review. Edit - I'd read again and I think I understand why you said that the review contain major spoiler. So I'd add the warning for major spoiler there. As for you, I think now I knew that you HATE spoiler with passion very much. Although to me it was still quite minor anyway, at least compared to what I learned in TV Trope. And just in case you want to ask me how much I knew, yes I knew all about Root Double Spoiler. In case you want to knew how much I know, here comes. WARNING - FOR YOU WHO DIDN'T PLAY THIS PLEASE DON'T OPEN SPOILER BOX. IT WAS MAJOR SPOILER. DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU IF YOU FEEL SPOILED. Although it will be major spoiler, I'd only list some basic understanding, but some of the reader here might like the spoiler. My opinion is that even if you feel spoiled, I think it should not be the reason to not enjoying the game. For some people who finished the game, because there were 6 mysteries listed, I'd like to list some of 6 spoilers. I think that's all for the spoiler. If you still want to discuss spoiler, go ahead but don't forget spoiler box. As for now, my mood was still sour after certain user here (Hey, my mood was not good okay) turned this thread to flame war. I kind of thinking to move the discussion to the new thread. But maybe better not, so I'd like to hope that this thread could be use to discuss Root Double. As for my response to certain user post, maybe I'll make one in future. That's all from me. And sorry once again, my mood was not good after knowing my thread was use for flame war.

Well, first of all congratulations on successful Kickstarter for Root Double, even though it's kinda shaky at the middle. My comment is that for Sekai if next time you want to release the VN that has less exposure than this one, I would suggest that you better did the Thunderclap and better tier earlier (Although I understand that maybe this time Regista was kinda hesitate to allow Sekai at first, while back at Libra the decision to make the Kickstarter was started from the staff of Libra themselves iirc), since I'd read that many of the user feel here your move was kinda late. Anyway since this project was already funded, let's move on to discuss this game, and if you still want to discuss the Kickstarter, please go to this thread. For the release date, hopefully around March (Although if the release was got pushed, I'll make sure the thread will be not drowned). Anyway, from the title, it was obvious the credit should go to GundamAce or back in Gamefaqs forum ShadowBlackMage since he was as the leader of Lemnisca Translation did the translation. Once again, if some of Lemnisca member came here (Or especially GundamAce), thanks for translating this game and 2 previous games (I/O and Never7). For the premise, as we knew Root Double was dealing with 9 people (3 people from rescue squad and 6 civilian people) trapped in nuclear facility which about to explode within 9 hours. To make it worse, actually there was a drug that could prevent radiation, but unfortunately in best case scenario it was only enough for 6 people, leaving 3 people dead. By reading that, you knew that the chance of all people to survive were very slim. So of course they need to trying to search where they could escape within 9 hours. Oh, apparently this game maybe Takumi Nakazawa answer to 999 which was made by his fellow back at Infinity project, Kotarou Uchikoshi. I mean what's with 9 people and 9 hours (Oh and one more info, the drug I mentioned was only capable to prevent radiation for 1 hour. The drug supply was only 54 drugs, in other word only enough for 6 people like mentioned before). For trivia info, the drug name was Alone Desire. As the story goes, there was also some mysteries which accompany them to their escape. There were 6 mysteries, and the mysteries were: The captain rescue squad loss his memories Some of trapped civilian were high school students (Normally in VN it's not a mystery, since they like to involve high school XDDD. The question is more like why the high school students could come into nuclear facility) There was dead body inside facility The reason that the incident happened, and why they couldn't get out easily And last mystery was about the people who should not exist but exist at the nuclear facility There you go with the mystery. For more info, once again you could look to Kickstarter page, or Animesuki forum here. And once again thanks to GundamAce for the info translation back at Animesuki forum. As for the review, here's from Awesome Curry Chronicle (WARNING - Some MAJOR SPOILER there) and below's from GundamAce. For special service I'll post his review, from A route to his final review (The game was divided to 4 route - A, B, C, and D). He wrote the review in Animesuki and Gamefaqs back at 2012 (I was interested to Root Double since 2012 by the way). So, here's the review from GundamAce Route A Review (I'll use spoiler for shorter page, although guess it's already very long) Route B Review Route C Review Route D Review (Keep in mind this review was for normal version, because I'd heard that XTend version had Route D changed. Correct me if I'm wrong) Gundam Ace Final Review There you have it, although if some of you find it better than Ever17 or not later is depend on you I suppose. Oh finally, since GundamAce mentioned cast, guess for next I should do some commentary for the cast and character, like back in KoiChoco and Noble Works. One interesting thing about 9 characters was the system called Enneagram. It take too much time for explaining it, so I'll give Wikipedia link here. And for 999 games, actually there was also some info that Uchikoshi confirm that he design the character based on Enneagram. There was discussion about that at Gamefaqs, and here's the discussion (Watch out for spoiler though in case you didn't finish 999). For the cast, I'll give them based on Enneagram from 1 to 9, some info, and the seiyuu. But before tha, I'll give some info about 2 additional characters first. Since in GundamAce review that he mentioned Ai Shimizu character, guess I'll better mentioned Ai Shimzu first. In case you wonder who will Ai Shimizu voiced, here's the character. As for the character, I couldn't explain it since the info was nothing, and if you ask my opinion, she was not important at all. As for Ai Shimizu herself, her role was (By the way her pseudonym mostly had some connection with automotive brand) Sanjou Makoto in Noble Works, Komine Sachi in Grisaia franchise, Napoleon in Eiyuu Senki, Elina in Dracu Riot, and Tamaki Sakura in Hatsuyuki Sakura. As for Miyoko Tenkawa, she was Natsuhiko's mother, and she works at LABO and according to VNDB she rarely come home. So she like Hinata's father back in I/O, while we could said that Natsuhiko situation resemble Hinata's. For the seiyuu, she was voiced by Sayaka Ohara, and her role was Kela Hazel in Galaxy Angel trilogy, Dahlia in Duel Savior PS2 Version, Urotorii in Utawarerumono, and most famously in VN she was Beatrice back in Umineko. As promised earlier, here's the other characters info, starting from 1st Enneagram. Oh by the way all trapped people based on Enneagram. Ukita Keiji (1st Enneagram, The Reformer) - By the way, his enneagram and Loise enneagram was mistakenly written in kickstarter page as the Helper. According to the description, he was Natsuhiko neighborhood and work at LABO as one of the researcher. His voice was provided by Toru Okawa, and his role was Tomitake in Higurashi franchise, Arawn in Tears to Tiara, and Gasai Itsuki back in Comyu. Mashiro Toba (2nd Enneagram, The Helper) - According to description, she was one of our MC (Natsuhiko. Oh this VN had 2 MC by the way) childhood friend. Her biggest pride was cooking and take care of Natsuhiko. Back in TV Trope, GundamAce describe her position was like Sakuya back in I/O. Her voice was Asami Imai, and her role in VN was Makise Kurisu back in Steins Gate, Okitsu Ai in Yumina the Ethereal, Morishita Michiru in Koi Choco, and Yoshitsune in Eiyuu Senki. Ena Tsubakiyama (3rd Enneagram, The Achiever) - The teacher at Natsuhiko and Mashiro school. For hard word, she was kinda want to achieve something as the enneagram said, sometimes to obsessive to the goal I think. For easier word, especially to Remember11 veteran who read this, just thinking of Mayuzumi Lin when she trapped at LABO. As the seiyuu, the name was Toyoguchi Megumi and her role was like I said before Mayuzumi Lin in Remmeber11 and Junko Enoshima back at Dangan Ronpa. Louise Yui Sannomiya (4th Enneagram, The Individualist) - Half Japan and half French, and transfer student in Natsuhiko school. Nicknamed Salyu and she had ferret called Alice. For some reason, she was willing to live with Natsuhiko. For the seiyuu, Shindou Kei, no notable role in VN or anime, although some of user here may elaborate it. Oh GundamAce made a comment that Salyu design remind him of Feili from Chrome Shelled Regios. Watase Kasasagi (5th Enneagram, The Investigator) - One of our MC and the captain of rescue squad. At the beginning, he was lost his memory for unknown reason. But before memory loss, he was calm man and with dry sense of humor. His voice was Shingaki Tarusuke and his role in translated VN was none, although Fate/Zero fan may recognize him as Matou Kariya. Kazami Tachibana (6th Enneagram, The Loyalist) - Chilhood friend from Watase and vice captain of rescue squad. She was take the lead while Watase suffering memory loss. Her seiyuu was Rina Satou, and her role in VN was Souya Misaki in old VN Snow Sakura, Kusakabe Yuki in To Heart 2, Yoshitsune in Majikoi S, Nami from Aoi Shiro, and Ushiromiya Ange in Umineko franchise. Natsuhiko Tenkawa (7th Enneagram, The Enthusiast) - Another MC, and he was only high school students. He like to be alone, just like Hinata back in I/O. For a little commentary, at the beginning he was liveng in harem situations lol, with Mashiro came to his house every morning, Salyu living in his house, and another his childhood friend Yuuri also live in same house as his. For the seiyuu, the name was Ichiki Mitsuhiro and his role in anime (I didn't comment his performance in VN because he didn't had any role in translated VN yet) was very lame MC from old anime Magikano (By the way, I watched it back at 2007) Haruo Yoshikawa. Of course Natsuhiko was more handsome than Haruo lol (Even though both of them wear glasses). Jun Moribe (8th Enneagram, The Challenger) - Kazami junior in rescue squad, and her goal was that she want to become the heroes who protect the weak. That's why she choose to become rescue squad as first step. Her seiyuu was Tomonaga Akane, who in VN she was play as Inubushi Keiko and Suzukage Hotori back in Remember11, Seira in Chaos Head, Nagamine Nozomi in Seinarukana, Kawakami Kazuko aka Wanko in Majikoi, Soejima Hisoka in Comyu, Kazami Kazuki in Grisaia franchise, and Oda Nobunaga in Eiyuu Senki. Yuri Kotono (9th Enneagram, The Peacemaker) - Another Natsuhiko childhood friend, and live with him. According to the info back at Animesuki, she didn't like to go outside house, but for some reason she was trapped in LABO, while according to Natsuhiko she should be at home. I quite take a liking to her design back at 2012. Her seiyuu was Kaori Nazuka, and her role in VN was Flower MC Shirahane Suou. Oh if some of you like to watch Fate Ilya, she was play Miyu Edelfelt. I think that's all of the info from Root Double I could give it here. Although there's still more about world building info, but you could read it at Kickstarter or GundamAce info. Use this thread for future discussion of Root Double in near future. And sorry if I couldn't provide more info. Hope you like my post here. PS Almost forget, here's the OP Video for Root Double thanks to Sekai Project Edit - I'd just remember that one of VNDB user made a review for Root Double. So like GundamAce review, I'll copy the review here. Oh the user name was crauxan Crauxan Root Double Review - The review was made back at 2013

Anyone tried the demo ? In case you still didn't try it yet, download it here. As for my little review about demo, the interface surely was interesting. It looks like the agenda with the event and extra menu, which we could access usual BGM Mode and CG Mode. As for the event, we could actually pick the one from the beginning up to the new one. In short, we could watch over any event without saving, except when we want to stop. It's kinda confusing to explain, but played it and you'll understand. Honestly I couldn't comment much, but for the voice our Kawashima Rino using her usual range when voicing Yuna. For Hina, surprisingly Kaneda Mahiru was capable to hold back her usual range, although as Umi she was back in her usual range. As for other performance, I couldn't comment much although even if this game only partially voiced (Mostly with important event (To the developer I think) and in CG) the seiyuu did good job I guess (Oh now that I remember Oukawa Mio was capable to sound shy compared to her performance as Lu Bu back in Eiyuu Senki). For the character, while Yuna was unwilling to helping the ghosts, she was quite the planner I see. Hina like to eat at Yuna home and Yuna best friend Ano (Why her name was sounding like when someone in Japan would like to asking the people to take the attention was beyond me) was quite forgetful (Awesomely she managed to forgot her bra, fortunately it was all girl school lol). For the ghost Sachi was indeed died before WW2 (At year 1932 to be exact since the setting was 2012), while Megumi was died at 1982 (1 year before Higurashi). Sachi was died because she save the students and the school honor her, while Megumi was died because of sickness. Oh Megumi was very very slightly devoted toward Sachi, so much that she was a little jealous to Yuna. For the couple of the week candidate, I'll try to comment one by one: 1. Aihara Miki was the senpai that Maki had crush on. Miki remind me of Aida Mana from Doki Doki Precure, with her capability to help everyone without fail (For now, and I don't have time to explain Doki Doki Precure here), and Maki was slightly interested in architecture. 2. Umi was target of the crush from Futano. Apparently Futano interested to Umi because Umi could talk to Futano normally while normal people took a little space from Futano because she was scary. For Nena (Friend from both of them), not much comment other than she like to sleep. 3. My impression of Kiri she was very tall, while Tsukuyo as the teacher was very short. Kiri was slightly adored cute thing (I thinking about Rena from Higurashi for a second lol), and when she saw the teacher as short as Tsukuyo, she adored her very much. I think that's all I could comment for the demo. Let's wait for full version, which is about to release 9 days from now.

Hmm......... Da Capo Discussion 2, eh. I'll link it to VN Analysis now. @OP About the writer of Koko route, Mochizuki Jet, I think I'd have one comment, "He was big fan of Nanaka" because I checked VNDB list and I saw that he also write Nanaka route. And yes I understand the infamy of Koko route. Or if we want to see it more fairly, I think the writer almost hit the deadline when he write Koko route after wasting many months for his beloved Nanaka, so he write what the idea he could scrapped for Koko route. Well, that was according to my bullshit theory anyway lol.

Okay, so I read the counter review, and to be very very very honest for get VN I usually using torrent or erxxxdoxxxxad.com, but of course it's actually better if the people want to buy the vn to support the developer. But, I think while many people choose the way to get vn was same as me, I'd like to KO the counter review with one sentence. The sentence was "Katawa Shoujo was originally EVN and it was freely available at the site". While maybe the staff was amateur, some of them not from western, didn't get paid and took their time, it was got quite many attention from vn fan and got quite nice score on VNDB (Around 7.85 as of now). And it was free of charge. Although there was some people think it was overated of course. The problem with NOBY was short time development, it was not years like the counter review said (I knew he was extragaratte it), only less than a year if we count kickstarter, while Katawa Shoujo once again need 5 years including planning to make it complete. Although the counter review had some point of how hard to make the game though. About Bioware syndrome, didn't understand much about it. But I think I agree with yours that longer development time will help to refine the game. I think that's all I could thinking of.

Poor Decay. Anyway, my impression from your spoiler about Megumi route For Katawa Shoujo, comparing to this game it was definitely the winner in term of production time (1 year for NOBY vs 5 years for Katawa Shoujo), and longer production time meaning that the writers for Katawa Shoujo had time to refine the routes. So, if NOBY was given same time as Katawa Shoujo, does it mean that it will be as good as Katawa Shoujo? Maybe, but I think even with longer time in Katawa Shoujo development, there was still some divisive one (Shizune route for example). But I agree that Katawa Shoujo team was more successful to deliver the game compared to this one (And I think to make Katawa Shoujo even better was to add famous Japanese voice actor, but that just me. And please don't turn this thread to Katawa Shoujo discussion, okay). Sorry if you didn't agree, and I just want to express my opinion here.

@Persona13 It was fixed that you should first go to and conquer South Seas, then Macedonia and finally Russia. The reason is that South Seas army had the least amount troop (Around 1500 in normal iirc), while I would suggest you declare war against Macedonia after you almost conquer Indias, and you should challenge Russia after you had around 4000 troops and doing all of the character quest up to before you conquer EU. Oh you should do all the sidequest to upgrade your character and money. Almost forget, Macedonia strength quite medium (Around 2500 troops) and Russia was the highest - 4000 troops. Russia hard not only because high number of troops, but because harsh climate that reduce our troops by half when invade (No troops reduction when defending from Russia though. Just want to share, yesterday I'd just realize this fact and that's after I let all of conquered territory taken back by Russia, wasting more money and troops to retaken it). tldr - Choose South Seas first. The rest should came naturally, and if you curious you may invade to check the enemy strength. And about hard bonus item, the biggest challenge to me would be Vinland pirate, if omly because I faced 7 army with around 3500 troops iirc. That's all from me and good luck to conquer South Seas.

@Decay I see, and yes I actually checked BlickWinkel writing about how he rated RD better than SG (I thought at first it was Killicool 64). I though since he was translator of SG, I assume that SG would be his most favorite game. Turn out I was wrong, although he still thinking SG had the good point of course. Before some of you thinking to bash him, he comment in regard of how handling the character, and I read that one of SG weakness (Don't be mad, SG fan) was how the writer handle the character. I think that's all in regard of translator opinion of RD from me. As for kickstarter, this morning the number still around 83 and now, wow the number right now was at 91. Quite massive jump if you ask me compared to past few days, although it still need a large amount of money to be funded (Around 44). If I may suggest, just in case it still didn't reach the target maybe they could try to extend it for at least 10 days and hopefully it will reach the target by that time. Although of course it would be much better if they managed to reach the goal by February 4th. Even if I suggest something like this, I'm sure Sekai already had any plan for this matter. That's all from me.

@sanahtlig Yes they used the synopsis from your blog. Here's the credit from their site and to be honest I kind laughing inside reading the credit. Looks like they added the credit after you said that they copied it from your site lol. Although the trailer was looking good I think. Ok for serious comment, since they add pre order in their site (Come to think of it, Flower site didn't had pre order page), guess finally they almost finalized Seinarukana release? Anyway, this actually could be a good news and this time hopefully JAST won't need to delay Seinarukana release, since they delayed enough since 2012. For my comment, I think I could only comment the red haired girl (Satsuki) had quite nice look, but her seiyuu almost didn't had any role in translated VN. As for the review, there is no english review of this game (Actually there was, but too bad right not it was deleted along with the blog. Quite good review if you ask me). My hope was that hopefully Seinarukana will be released this year. I think I could only comment a little for now. As a bonus (and hopefully JAST understand what's the meaning to show gameplay trailer), here's the video from youtube showing how MC (Nozomu), Satsuki, and spear user (MC childhood friend Nozomi) battling the enemy, thanks to the youtube user steparu. Here's the video and that's all I could comment for now.

Okay. Sorry to OP because looks like I was too hasty type my post so my content kinda mixed up. What I want to comment was I'd surprised that Sun Tzu got buffed in GOLD (I'd read your character tier by the way and I think it was good enough, although I'd see that TENCO also buffed Sanzo because back in original she need -30 wait item to unleash her tech), which in original she only had ATK and DEF up. I'd understand why you rate the character like that okay, although I'd like to see the tier for original version if possible. Just my suggestion okay, you didn't need to do that. And for the final boss, I actually speak about some certain god who had same seiyuu as Goemon. Well, since you give spoiler, I'll name the boss. I'd talked about Nyarlathotep obviously. Her instant kill was indeed unblockable (Without Enkidu wall it damage character for insame ammount), but her attack was quite impractical. I mean what's with her only attack arsenal was instant kill (IK) attack that need 10 braves? And only target single character (I'd know it was to allowed gamer to survive, otherwise if IK attack was row, it'll caused major pain) to boot? But compared to GOLD according to your info, I think Nyarlathotep punish us to exploit her weakness, causing us to carefully choose the party (That's why I'd said that Achilles no good in Nyarlathotep battle (But she was very fast and very capable of massive damage), because her best attack was capable to hit 3 Nyarlathotep weaknesses and give her massive brave, while her type caused the boss to gain brave faster and massive at that. And with that you risk to lost 2 party member quickly thanks to IK attack. I knew you like Achilles ok. Although I'd see that Achilles performed very well against Angolmoa in one of Youtube video), while looks like GOLD was said you better exploited the weakness as much as possible (Debuff only without damage was quite worthless, since debuff effect only stick once and not stack like SMT). That's all from me and I'll reply again if I remember something.

Sorry for late reply, but I'll reply your comment about GOLD first. +85 Delay? Sound insane when I think +30 already very helpful. Then again, Achilles was quite capable at multihit, although for final boss in original she was not quite good. Not because her damage output (Equipped Futsunomitama (+1000 DMG) and Seven Star Sword (+500 DMG) would net Achilles insane 22500 DMG), but because the final boss would change her weakness, and Achilles most damaging attack type would happen to hit 3 of 4 boss type. And as we knew the final boss would instant kill 1 people (I tried use Enkidu to cheese it (Thanks for the save by the way) and it simply caused instant death to the target) if the boss filled 10 braves, and hitting enemy weakness mean you give brave to enemy. So I think Yoshitsune more appropriate to final boss. Although Achilles could be used for fast damage I think, but for the most safe option it would be Benkei who could hit 7 times and never hit boss weakness, because her attack type was Magic, although with 3 slot she could only give 11900 DMG with +DMG equipment. Oh speaking about brave, don't ever bring character with punch or axe because instant kill attack from boss was axe type, while punch and axe defense didn't weak against it, and we obviously want the boss to get brave AS MINIMUM AS POSSIBLE. Oh and if we could get Hammurabi killed and equipped with Used Up Kettle, I think she will be capable to deal major damage to final boss without giving brave to the boss. And she was quite useful with passive speed drop together with Beethoven. I knew that the OP (CeruleanGamer) should realize the trick, but I think I would share this tips to anyone who had the trouble. About Chu Culainn, another fact that she was had 50% critical in original, while usually all people only had 10% critical. So equipped Lavaentin there would cause Chu Culainn to critical everything. Looks like GOLD using Luck status to determine critical. For Sun Tzu, too bad she was quite useless in original, although I like the 3 (Qin Shi Huang, Sun Tzu, Lu Bu) from Taika Empire. I mean that they like sisters to each other imo. Oh I tried to using the difficulty challenge, and the hardest opponent to me was Vinland (7 enemies with around 3000 troops, causing me to reload before fighting Inca and buff my troops from around 2700 to 3500 for 6 people. It takes a lot of money and I used money equipment gaining for that purpose). So far the most useful item are Gullinbursti, Tamatebako, and Elixir imo. For the patch, my comment would be could you wake me up when they managed to translate all sex scene. It mean that I think the current patch should be sufficient for now, although it still managed to show us some sex scene that came from the original with Japanese text. If they want to translate it, just basic is fine imo since I think the scene consist of moaning and the reaction anyway I think. And I planning to not recruiting Michelangelo and Kojirou (Her sprite looks so different that it became unsettling imo). That's all for now.

Looks like there was quite a lot topic here, so I comment some. And sorry if my post will offend the user here. - About the claim this game was better than Steins Gate, I think it was more like one of Lemnisca staff opinion rather than the translator himself. Why I could be certain? Because I'd read some post back at Ever17 board on Gamefaqs. I think between Lemnisca staff, it was more like kilicool64 opinion, because back in Lemnisca site, he reviewed Steins Gate quite negative at 2/10 (Don't be mad Steins Gate fan, although I understand that popular game like that bound to had divisive opinion), while BlickWinkel himself was Steins Gate translator and according GundamAce Steins Gate was 1 of 5 his favorite game (The other are Fate/Stay Night, Root Double, Ever17, and I/O). But I agree if they want to promote like that, it was of course bad business model and Root Double (RD) was very different from Steins Gate (SG) anyway. RD deal with survival at nuclear facility, while SG deal with time travel. - For RD, I think it was quite nice contrast. One deal with the rescue inside nuclear facility, while another scenario was deal with high school harem, and for the girls name in high school plot GundamAce commented that the name (Mashiro, Yui, Yuuri (I like Yuuri design by the way)) sound like generic name from the girls at the harem game lol, although I read at TV Trope (Which probably filled by GundamAce) Mashiro filled the same role as Sakuya back at I/O. To me, I think the setting is fine, because we had Ever17 in the past with route system and yet it managed to be still one of the highest score VN at VNDB, so maybe RD could repeat that? tldr - The claim RD better than SG I think it was more subjective. - I didn't had any problem with dating sim style, although some people may disagree. I think while Sekai business model was quite divisive, I also agree that was some major backhand dealing with Regista and Yeti needed to localize RD. So my stance for Sekai was neutral, didn't hate it too much while not supporting it too much also. Besides if someone want Sekai to be fail, I think Magical Boy VN would be better sacrifice for them lol (And it was failed back at Kickstarter). About RD itself, I'll give a comment about it later, maybe when it was about to be released in English. That's all from me and once again I'm sorry if my post offend some user here.

Oh, looks like I was quite late to the party, but let me say this first. Congratulations on your very successful Kickstarter, Mikandi Japan. Although I'd never give my post here, I'd always followed your progress you know. Anyway, my impression for this VN was the graphic and OP was good, although my judgement may be wrong though. While usually I would comment about seiyuu, in here I couldn't comment much because they still had quite small role roster for translated VN, and I usually like to comment about seiyuu for translated VN. Although I'll give comment about that very later though. For character design, I think for now Lycoris had the best design, if only for the her cloth. But for now I'd said all of the characters design was quite good. As for the premise, I think it'll be like Tsukihime because of vampire thing, even though I maybe wrong. Either way looking forward for this game release in English, although from now it'll be a long time (Around 10 months later). Oh, and for Mikandi Japan thanks for your effort for translating this game to English. That's all from me and feel free to update the progress here. PS I prefer you release the VN at 2016 Halloween, but if you want to do that at November, it's okay.

Since it's been long time I'm not bumping this thread, might as well do it right now. Anyway here's the progress thanks to Decay for info and akerou for update. And no, I still didn't know when @Akerou break begin (About his 3 months long university break), although he promised that the patch will be released when his break begin. That's all for now.

Nice to meet you. Hope you enjoying staying here. I think it's still quite early for introduction, Ike. Because I just introduce myself after 1 year joining here and 41 posts lol, although I think it's still nice to introduce here.

Since Haruka about to be released (Well, still 39 days later actually, but back in VNDB I started Princess Evangile discussion 41 days before release), I figured I think I should started the discussion here. From the title, of course we should express our gratitude to arunaru, who back in June he was suspended his Rance VI translation in order to accept job from Mangagamer. A choice which of course would be guaranteed many anger from the people who expected Rance VI for a long time, although for Haruka translation actually arunaru managed to keep his standard pacing for translating, less than 6 month iirc to complete the translation of a script which considered long visual novel in VNDB. For the game itself, actually it was like nukige as doddler said, because the sex scene in there was quite a lot, and I'd already checked the CG for Haruka by the way. The story itself is our MC was meeting with very beautiful transfer girl and when he meet the girl again, he saw the girl as the ninja fighting the villain and suddenly the girl ask MC to have sex with her. From there the girl introduce herself as Haruka and our MC revealed to be the next leader of a ninja clan which Haruka belong. Oh and by the way our MC always followed by his landlord daughter, Narika who also will be revealed that she was a ninja along with Haruka. Since the company behind Haruka was Alice Soft, normally we would expect gameplay. In this case we had raising sim in order to raise the girls stat by, well have sex duh (Of course, since it was called nukige not for nothing). In case you didn't get it you'll have sex with the girls to up their status. Of course the status will be important to prepare ourself for the fighting, which almost always will be happen in the night. Oh speaking about night, we had the system called day, which if we recall Sengoku Rance or Daibanchou it means turn, and we had time limit 99 days to beat the game (I still didn't sure if it's right or not). Looks like I couldn't explain it well, so I'll leave it to arunaru's twitter for brief info or aroduc's (Kamidori and Galaxy Angel translator) review of Haruka for more info. I knew you had some post here, arunaru and if possible you may use this thread for Haruka's question and answer to Fuwanovel's user here. For the cast, we got our MC, the girls (Haruka, Narika, Subaru (Will be joined later)), and the villains. I'll talk about the villain first since I think the setting for the villain was quite usual for Japan. I mean what's with 4 Gods setting thing? Anyway, we got Orochimaru who represent East and Seiryu (The voice according to JP Wiki was Kentarou Itou who voiced Kurou back in Demonbane), Kikyodayou who represent South and Suzaku (Her voice was Iida Kuu who voiced Kouchuu back in Koihime Musou), Ittou Hagane who represent West and Byakko (His voice was Uozomi in Kara no Shoujo), and from the look I think he was the most handsome from all of the villain and quite honorable lol (I knew I'm bad at judging someone), and finally the boss of the villain who represent North and Genbu Ensai Mukroi, a blind monk. Oh for the heroine, Haruka was voiced by Sakurai Harumi (Lily from Himegari, Akari from Noble Works, Saya from Little Busters EX), Narika by Aoba Ringo aka Ringorin (Maya from Noble Work, Sayane from Soukoku no Arterial, Nemu from euphoria), and Subaru by Kawashima Rino (Haru from G-Senjou, Nagisa from Koi Resort, Serawi from Kamidori, and many more). We also had name like Hokuto Minami (Primula from Shuffle, Miki from Muv Luv franchise, Sakura from Da Capo franchise) and Oukawa Mio (Colette from Himegari, Bachou from Koihime Musou, Eris from Sono Hanabira franchise), who according to lousy translation of Google Translate was voiced the brainwashing victim, although I didn't certain 100% though. In any case, Minami voiced Minazuki and Oukawa voiced Almail. Oh although we had good seiyuu for this game, this game only partially voiced though, although Mangagamer promised us to hear heroine's voice in H-Scene. I think that's all for the info. Use this thread as discussion for Haruka in near future. And let's have video for awesome Haruka OP from Mangagamer here. Once again thanks to arunaru for translating this game. PS By the way could I ask how to embed video here? Sorry. PPS Thank mod Zenophilius. Turn out it was just as easy as copy and paste the link from Youtube, because in the past it was quite complicated to embed the video from Youtube. Edit (February 23rd) - Because unfortunate incident from Mangagamer side, the released was delayed until February 29th.

Hmm........ Maybe it's kind of late, but I decided to make a poll here. The reason was because I'd remember that another member here was made a Koichoco discussion with the poll, and the poll was purged along with the forum breakdown at this month. So I once again want to give a chance to all of you to give your vote (Come to think of it, I should make the poll from the beginning, because of the election lol). Anyway, maybe the wording might wrong, but have fun there.
