I don't know what the budget of S was compared to the original, but I always imagined it was actually quite a bit higher. The animated sequences are actually pretty decent and those cost a pretty penny to produce.

It's $1 a frame for animation. Depending on who the employer is.

Based on the total size of the scripts compared to the H-scene scripts(of which there are relatively few), A is much more story focused.

Glad to hear this from you  I can definitely wait for these knowing this ~

[Mahesvara]

I don't think I've been as excited about a specific route as much as I am about Benkei. Her and Yamato have such good chemistry that Miyako and Momoyo both view her as a threat early on for Yamato's affection and big sister status. I can't wait for more Lazy Club scene with Beardy as well.

It was most likely really popular and they introduced many new girls that were also popular, thus giving birth to the whole A series. 

That would be my best guess.

Makes sense. That would also explain why Benkei got an actual route in A as well as Azumi getting one as well.

So does that mean that S had most of their money focused on their animations and the remaining amount was put on script-writing.

That could also explain why i haven't seen a movie mode in A either.

We need more love for the almost best girl

I'm actually kind of amazed that they chose for her to have a route in A-4. It seemed kind of... random? Did she win some kind of poll in Japan or something?

Maybe. I do remember there being some empty spaces in the A games, and that they promised they would do a route for whichever character won a popularity poll.

Well, it's half a surprise for me. They're giving routes te almost anyone (or anything, if we include Cookie), that I'm amazed they didn't think of doing a gay route...

Considering Vanilla had all main guy routes along with a getting pounded by a guy bad route... also thinking about sales... yeah..

Im honestly just hoping for more Kazuko. I read every route, but my bias says if I could give them away for more Kazuko, I would

[Decay]

Takahiro strikes me as quite the homophobe, so I wouldn't expect anything along those lines.

[CeruleanGamer]

Miyako's route left us on a cliffhanger, so I thought there should be a continuity there somewhere. I mean it would be great if we get a route when she's already an adult and came back from Germany a new woman. We get a preview of her adult-like charms in Azumi's route already, so there's plenty of material to work with.  

[nazim10]

If my memory is correct, we did get an epilogue in the first game. You know, the scene when she's having a baby in Germany?

[sdarkpaladin]

I think what he meant was, what happened after Germany. What was the reactions they had when they see each other after so long. But personally i think it will just be H-scene after H-scene considering Miyako.

This is basically the same thought, I have in terms of what Minatosoft could come up with for Miyako. Although, there's not too much they can do in terms of the main initial heroines I guess? Who knows.

I agree here. They can't really do much with the Kazama Family heroines. The S after stories already depict what would most likely happen if they tried to continue on those heroines. And personally I think its more fun to read if Yamato is trying to conquer a woman than if he is already with her.

[nazim10]

While I do agree with that, I'm still kinda curious. We know what heppened with Miyako and Wanko (married, and Wanko being succesful in her career), but what about the others? Did Momoyo setlle down from fighting too much? Did Chris return living in Germany with Yamato at some point? Did Yukie manage to expend her friend circle? I know, it's not necessary for us to know all that, but I'm a bit of a fan about epilogues XD

[NhKPaNdA]

So I was busy playing Bunny Black 2 since the full patch just got released, and I thought that Ekate sounded familair. So I looked and found that it was the same voice actress as Wanko. Can't believe I never noticed that during Bunny Black 1.

Tomonaga Akane is a very prominent seiyuu in the eroge industry. Just like Tanaka ryoko and Yokote Kumiko. You can find them practically everywhere.

Hopefully this won't be the case with Margit's route in A-5. Speaking of which, there wasn't any news regarding A-5, were there? I vaguely recall some past page ago saying that some more info about it has come about. But all I saw was that they added a new CG of Yamato & Yoshitsune.
 

[CeruleanGamer]

So only Margit and Yoshitsune are in A-5? Have they disclosed who the 3rd heroine is?

It's Tachibana Takae is it not ?

Oh thats right... I kept forgetting that chick because she only had a small segment in S and then a few appearances here and there on other A games.

A-5 is Yoshitune, Takae, and Margit.

e/ oops, there was a page 20..

As for more news for A-5, there hasn't been any surprisingly. Kinda sad about this. I heard Minatosoft said they may have a release date by the end of 2015, but I guess not :[

e2/ Looks like their page officially said that there's no price decided STILL for A-5 as well.

I can't fully read this, and I don't know when this was even put there or if it was always known but:

Ｑ、これらをまとめたパッケージ版での販売は予定していますか？
Ａ、はい。販売します。しかしこれらをまとめて出すとまた長期間お待たせしてしまうので、こういう販売方法にしました。

I think potentially they were going to make a bundle for all 5, but released individually so people wouldn't be waiting very long for each set of stories. Or they mean it will simply take a long time (Maybe) for A-5 to be released. Or they mean a Physical version will take forever to be released. Who's good at JP :[ Looks like they also do a weekly info thing. Don't know ._.

[dowolf]

Q: Are there any plans for a packaged version that includes all of these?
A: Yes, we will be selling that. However, that would involve a long wait, so we chose this [digital and episodic] method of distribution.
