Ren has his reasons for not working on this for now. They're legit, trust me.

I finished Valkyria Chronicles one or two weeks ago. I will be honest, it has been quite some time since I loved a game this much, and I'm actually looking forward to playing the PSP games if I have the chance.

I received some possible different answers for some questions and I'll be checking them soon. I'm not sure if I already said it, but if you ever feel like your answer is right, please tell me so I can double-check it. And if possible, whenever you do so, please tell me in which scene you got your answer or at least a brief description of the scene, so I can find it more easily than just blindly going through the whole game. If I ever find a legit different answer, I'll make sure to add it to the file I have with all the answers.

You may send them whoever you wish. I'm updating the first post with the time limit for the answers to be submitted.

I am currently in a hotel with no wi-fi so for now, just warning that I will later update the first post. Anyway, 770 was awesome, but wth? Corazon 52th place in the popularity poll????????? I wanna kill myself.

A Sachi lover is always welcome. Good luck with translation work, it's not easy.

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.

The Second Reproduction. I'm confused as hell but am enjoying it a lot!

I really wanted to be doing better in this medley event, but I can't play 3 songs in a row nor actually do that well on EX yet. At least I'm already 68 so I'll be doing 3 songs in a row during the next one. I don't have the print but I FCed another two expert songs recently, Natsuiro Egao and Bokura no LIVE, I believe. I'm slowly managing to FC more and more songs, I'm so happy! On a side note, I'm still scared of Soldier Game.

Koestl said on reddit that the KS will go until the end of next month, so you'll have until around the 2nd-3rd week of January to send me your answers. There are currently two members tied as first place, they have 38 answers each.

It seems interesting. I heard the first song a while ago but never really got into the series, but I might give it a chance. Is there any preview for the release date?

I just bought the official illustration book and apparently I got an UR with it. I believe it says I can use it until 31/7/2015 but I have no idea of what's the code, does anyone know anything about these promo cards?

No SoL fluff? Now I'm hyped for real! Was going to read Sekien no Inganock after The Second Reproduction, but I guess Tsukihime will come first.

I swear I'll try to bake something once I get in Japan! Can't wait to use stuff I can't even read the descriptions. Expect a 5-star chief level baking, boys!

Only one SR, sad. And once again, my pure JP team gets stronger while my other ones get close to nothing. My first two draws in JP got me one UR and one SR each. Both the URs are pure. Funny that most of the songs I get to play on events are 90% of the time smile ones, 9% cool ones and 1% pure ones. ):

The 11 kanji SR is actually so obvious, the hell is wrong with me? Thanks, Ceris.

Got enough for a 10+1 draw in JP. Is there a guaranteed SR in any of the pages?

Not sure if posted already, but I recently found this No Brand Girls rock cover and thought it was really nice. I also just found out about Love Rise!, these girls are amazing, they actually make the dances pretty accurately, not to mention that they actually seem like they are really enjoying dancing, which adds to their perfomance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN7Vd7L1i_I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J61BE0P46zg

Thanks. Nevermind then, I have issues.

This is probably more disheartening to SP than to us, tbh. Can't imagine how hard that hit them. Anyway, even if it's not the complete package, I will still back it. I was reading reddit thread about this and I found this comment to share perfectly how I see things. Both of them were made by LeafCascade, so credits to him for writing this. At first I was about to get really mad at you guys for going "MUH PORN", but I can see the problem. It's bothering me too now. I personally don't give two shits about losing the h-content, but if they're going to cut out other dialogue/scenes, I can't help but to feel that we will be missing out on things, especially in Meikyuu and Rakuen. But then again: As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, I have no doubts about that there'll be patches to restore the cut out content. Someone will find a way. And even if they don't, well... regardless, the 18+ versions will be released anyway, it just won't be through the Kickstarter (is how I've understood it), but only if the Kickstarter is successful. While this will have an impact on the magnitude of the Kickstarter's success, this is after all Grisaia. I really don't see 160k being difficult to achieve, especially not with how the Clannad KS is going. All in all: if you want the sequels in English, you're going to have to contribute. If you feel the censorship will ruin the VNs for you, to the point where you'd rather have nothing at all - go ahead, don't contribute, but make sure you know what you're doing by taking this stance; I imagine the sequels won't be translated for many years, if ever, even, if this KS does not succeed. As western VN fans I don't feel like we can get caught up on things like this, we don't have the luxury to. We either move forward or we won't be getting anywhere. A couple of months ago, I had given up on playing the sequels completely, and I simply feel very lucky to be given the chance to get them translated. It seems people are forgetting what we'd be stuck with if it weren't for SP. As far as I can tell, pornographic material isn't even allowed to be Kickstarted per their policies, so it really isn't that huge of a surprise - I did expect the 18+ version to be downloadable off-site or something, though. I think part of the problem lies here. As for Japanese companies thinking "we" only want all-ages content, who knows. But it seems we'll have to change the method of funding if we want to change direction. Anyway, this is just how I feel right now, and I'm sure as soon as new information comes to light I'll change my opinion accordingly. EDIT: I don't have any solutions to this, or any understanding of what SP can do regarding negotiations etc. I just don't want to ruin this chance we've been given by making a nuisance of ourselves to Frontwing over 18+ material. Damaging relationships is the last thing we'll want to do.

Has anyone here pressed the -ENTER- button? It takes you to a page with some dates, not sure what they are about but seems like release dates. It also has something with air, clannad, little busters and key. It also says "original anime something something" with the last part being show, I believe. Couldn't properly read it. Well, maybe that's old stuff that has been on the site for a long time or has no real meaning and I just have issues, nevermind in that case.

Hm, not sure if want any of the prizes, but participating anyway. Hopefully, I made it very clear.

There's more than one game for Rose Guns Days? That's news to me, thanks. Tedious? Could you elaborate on that?

Yeah, I started playing the JP version a long time after the EN, and I'm 61 in both already.

Thanks. Wish I had enough LP to play 3 songs in a row. This event seems really fun, though.
