I want HatsuSaku to be localized too. Not sure how Saga Planets thinks about an English localization though.
I like the new Marie art as well. It's pretty much the only thing light and the PR team got right in this KS. XD At least this KS gave me an excuse to get the tapestries I have been wanting for so long (looking at you Lotus/Rusalka tapestry).
And it's that time of the year again. Mangagamer's annual survey is back: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdyzlL5dYfJwRAuSfOl0koYZiz9KWyE0XRl3-fMRA2Fv6UwNg/viewform . As usual, which three visual novels did you choose to be nominated for a possible English localization? Mine were:
1. fortissimo EXS (obvious first choice is obvious)
2. ReLIEF (Despite some people hating on it, I did love the vibrant artwork and character designs when I first saw it so it gets my vote. Also the majority of the staff were first-timers so give them a break.)
3. Reminiscence (All for that Tomose Shunsaku character design!)
Honorable mentions include:
1. Chaos;Child (Because anime brings popularity...hopefully)
2. Dracu-Riot (Yuzusoft partnership)
3. Gensou no Idea (Same reasoning as Dracu-Riot)
4. Kamidori (or any Eushully game)
5. EXTRAVAGANZA (Yes...that one)
I gave them a layout suggestion of the Backerkit last night lol. Seemed like they "approved" it. How they go about it is another story since they usually do half the things I suggest them. Also asked if they could add in more rubber straps from the light online store considering how they have only three available. Still can't believe one rubber strap = $10. Imo, it should be $5, but whatever.
Also learned that they made a mistake about the 300K stretch goal and never bothered to fix it. -_- It was the entire collector's box for the artbooks and not just one of the four existing artbooks. Seriously, why aren't they even fixing this now? One of the translators had to come out and say it in their place. This would've gotten more people to pledge if they wanted the artbooks in English. Not as disappointed in this though since I have the Japanese version and one extra copy of the Amantes amentes artbook. XD
All in all, I can call this kickstarter a success with a sour aftertaste. We could have gotten so much more and with better rewards too, but I'll take what I can get. Oh well, I ended up getting the physical OST and game with three tapestries (new Marie cover, Lotus/Rusalka, Trinity) as add-ons. The Trinity tapestry may be replaced depending what they add to Backerkit.
I just want Dies Irae in English. Is that so hard to ask?!
True. If a fortissimo localization were to happen, I'd support it all the way. It can't be worse than what Dies irae is going through.
No, I don't think a fortissimo localization is happening anytime soon. I asked the director of fortissimo about a fortissimo English release a while ago and they said they were interested in it, but no activity since then.
So, did you back any other visual KS before this one? I backed the Libra, Muv-Luv, Bloody Chronicles, and Human Reignition Project.
With the Kickstarter at 90% now and a possible limited edition tier coming soon, I'm sure we'll make it. They also told me from my list of questions that they will look into releasing more rewards for the other heroines, so that will help a bit too. Though they don't have much time left, so Monday-Thursday are critical.
All in all, I wished this Kickstarter was better, but I will take what I can get. At least now we'll know who the fan favourite will be once a fortissimo Kickstarter comes by. Luckily Momiji is a main heroine, so we're all good. XD
Btw, which tier are you backing right now? I might drop out from the "Gotta Have It Bundle 1" tier and pledge at the $100 tier along with an extra $80 since I want two tapestries (Lotus/Rusalka and the Trinity with their Goddess). If the limited edition comes and the LDO tapestries become add-ons as well as a Beatrice reward, then I'll get all those instead.
Anyway, I do agree that it would be a huge shame not to get Dies irae in English. In the RARE case of this not getting funded, I hope light believes in second chances and reruns the campaign. This time, more prepared through research and with better people.
Also MegaTagmension is out on Steam now too and has online co-op, it's on sale atm so if your interested you can pick it up and we can play together :D
