Heh [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]. Well this game might not be bad, but it doesn't stir any urge to buy it within me ;p. and even if it did, I'd probably not be able to worry about it fort he moment since I'll soon have these to "worry" about [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]~~~~~~~(as you know [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/wink.gif[/img].

How could you?! Buying games from Will, which could get translated! >_<

Me and Unicorn shares that blame then (since Itsuka no Sora is for him, Rasen Kairou 2 is for me) ;p. But you forget that PP has... "trouble" with Will now, which is why it's a better idea to buy games from them right now than wait for something which may never get out. This is something me and Unicorn came to the conclussion of long ago, so we've both been buying a couple fo Will-games since than. And also keep in mind that many of them are since long sold out by Will (like Kairaku, Utsukushii Hime and many more), so there's no gurantees that PP would get them even if they had the possibility to do so.

There’s no ‘trouble’ with Will right now that I know of.

#28

A Middle Ages-ish game with everything from Lolicon and hermaphrodites to blasphmey? BRB, HAVE TO GO LEARN JPANEESE!!~~~~! What are my chances of, say, getting through the game and getting CGs if I know like 0 pct Japanese?

There is. Kinda, at least... and you see plenty of hints to that [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/rolleyes.gif[/img]. But I should perhaps not say more or Mune-chan will skin me alive <_<.

XD. Don't get too excited, there's lots of games in Japan with those kinds of subjects mixed all in one game [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/wink.gif[/img]. But I do encourage you to learn japanese to be able to better enjoy this and other japanese games if you decide to do so [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

Err, that depends on the game, actually... Some are easy both in terms of what level of skill in the language you need to understand stuff in it and stuff you need to do to win certain things in the game, some games are not. But since I don't own this game, I cannot say on what "levels" it is...

I'm sorry for you, but playing Japanese games without any knowledge of the language is wasted time/money only, in my opinion. The best choice for you (and your money) is the support of the English erogame market.
Now, follow the power of the Shrine Maidens...

He will already kill you because you hinted at it on the board.

What's wrong with that?

I already had the japanese version of "X-Change2" and "Brave Soul" before the english localization existed.
However, after they were realeased as english localized version, I bought them as well. So, would you please tell me what's the BIG problem?

#33

There’s none if you buy the English version.

Well, I have kinda already played all the games on the english market >.>. I wouldn't mind trudging through a interesting game like this and translating what I can, especially since there is like 0.00000001 pct chance it will get translated.

What about if you buy a will game that has no chance in hell of comming out in the states. Like the a MJ game

#37

Useless fuss? Well, you didn’t exactly say that you still bought all the English releases.
Hmph.

Maybe not HERE, but me and Unicorn have said here on the bBS before that we buy Will and/or Crowd-games but that we're also planning to buy eventual english releases of those games. You might not have seen that, through [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img].

Well, good luck to you!! [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]
For an introduction, I suggest you this (little and enjoyable) book: http://www.kodansha-intl.com/books/html/en/4770028024.html (a Must for any student of Japanese, and an interesting reading for all others).
However, just remember the first rule: STUDY OF JAPANESE REQUIRES YEARS OF DAILY EXERCISE.

It is exactly on that page.

You have to use the form in order to report a new problem to Selen's user support.
But the patch is actually downloadable from the small orange-colored "kochira"-link above the form.

Hi Baldo,

I read your review on Ryouki and I’m impressed with your opinion on this title. Two months ago I found Psy-chs while surfing on the net and I managed to try the game a year later. All I can say is I like it :smiley: and I hate it :frowning: :x for reasons which you already know. But I still find it appealing because of the characters, the artwork, and the whole setting (except the story which was so corrupt). So impressed with Psy-chs I even got three other titles: Ryouki II, Mejoku, and Mejoku 2. On the subject, since it’s my first time here in this forum, have you tried Ryouki II yet? If so can you post a review on that too. I would really appreciate it if you could help. Prego!

Yoono

I don’t know if you are a time traveler from the future :wink: , but rest assured that I’m SOO happy to see that my old reviews still have readers :smiley: .
About your Ryouki 2 question, no, I never played it, the reviews were unappealing, and even if Erogamescape says otherwise, at least a member here shares my opinion:

Therefore no Baldo reviews of this erogame, sorry, but mille grazie for your kind words :mrgreen: .

Ciao!
