I want to request this game so maybe you can translate and distribute it here:
Its name is Fortuna by ZyX
Fortuna seems like the best of all, with nice graphics, Full screen CG pics, animations, voices, and a good RPG battle system (FF style), also check out the fortuna site wich is very complete with a lot of H-scenes from the game (no really its seems like they are giving away the game), story and characters profiles, voice samples, wallpapers, movies and the best of all: a playable demo (warning, only playable in jap windows as i know), it really makes me wanna buy this game… Here’s the link to promotional site:
Unfortunately, only Crowd and Will is willing to let their games be ported to English at the moment. Other companies have learned from the failures of previous attempts to bring over Bishoujo games. MegaTech is dead, RCY America is gone, Otaku Publishing have folded their game division, Himeya Soft had ported a slew of their games in the first year but lost their bet on American consumer interest and has since closed their U.S. Office, now only sell games through their mail order division. The sales of Bishoujo games have spelt little consumer interest unfortunately, otherwise we’d see more mainstream titles like Tokimeki Memorial. So, here’s hoping that Peach Princess’s success will spell better things for us in the future.
whaaa!! well, guess i’ll have to import and play it in jap windows then, thanks for the info bokmeow… Maybe some day, after all even 8 years old games have been translated and distributed. man its a shame…
OMG!!! that game look incredible!! I’m a huge rpg fan and seeing a game like that just made me get all speachless. Damm… might be a few year before that can come over, if at all
You are dawn right it looks great!! thats why i request it, sight well, we’ll just have to conformate with Brave Soul ( wich looks good also ), BTW, have anyone notice that the main girl looks just like Rei Ayanami with long hair? ( and shes a litle more chubby also hehe )
Hmm, some of the characters in the game looks like some of the characters from Record of Lodoss War; for example one of the characters looks like Deedlit and that knight wears exactlky the same type of armor as Ashram does and another character looks kind of like a crossover of Spark from Record of Lodoss War TV and Orphen from Sorcerous Stabber Orphen.
heh…no wonder why Brave Soul its like a 2-D Diablo, ok i’m gonna support you guys and buy a Brave Soul copy, but if bussines improve you will try to bring Fortuna over here…ok?
Of course!! i have see those Rei Ayanami doujinshis, it all meakes sense now, i can post a link to those doujin, but tell me if is allow here and if is safe to the site (like someone going there and telling then to remove the mangas and not give to this stuff for free, they only have doujins there, no games)
This game looks like it could be real good. Me being the big RPG fan and all.
Slightly OT- I really don’t consider Diablo or Diablo II to be RPG’s. The characters in Diablo are for Weapons and info and nothing else. There’s really isn’t any indication that what I do in the game makes a difference as far as the characters are concerned. Baldur’s Gate at least had a party Rep gauge that caused characters with certain Alignments to treat you differently when they encountered your group. I felt that I was making an impact on the world, instead of just a small part of it.
Slayer: I say in my first post that the only sure way to play the demo is in a Jap Windows OS, BUT its possible to play it in others versions of win 98 or win XP using something like KanjiKit 2000, i myself try this out but dint work because i’m using win 2000 Profesional, but i know people that have been able to play it in nonjap windows, so try kanjikit theres nothing to lose right? Also visit this page with greats advises: http://home.attbi.com/~kagamix2/xp-compatible/
I was gonna download the movie, but after Kumiko vanish my hopes of playing it, i dint wanna torture myself
Kumiko: Probably i dint get you well because english its not my prymary lenguage, but are you saying that only titles under develoment are the only ones possibles to get released here? But arent most of games released out of japan games that have been in their market for years already?
Bokmeow: Yeah, i remenber Ring out, but i dont consider it a game, its more like a H-scenes slideshow, its very diferent to what ZyX its doing now…
Another game coming out the same day that Fortuna its Viper RSR (any vipers fan here?), but Sogna hasnt release any kind of info of the game whatsoever ( the just say its a RPG -_-;; ) apart from artwork, the graphics (in case you dont know vipers are best in animation) look good check out the game here: http://www.sogna.com/rsr.htm

It's a lot more complicated than that. You ever wonder why old games get 'updated'? Because the original code is lost, and so the programmers recode it from scratch to take advantage of new hardward. It's a lot harder for Bishoujo games because they script stories into the game, not as simple as programming a few polygons, stick a few skins on it and Oila, Lara Croft. If computer programs were as simple as carbon copying books there'd never be the problem of porting something over, but people who don't know the laborious process of programming thinks it's as simple as making a Macromedia presentation.
