Well, you can say a drama CD can be a cheap, alternative way to make additional episodes. For example, if you make the drama CD for an anime series, you don't need to make cels or draw CGs, you just need voice actors to do the job.

Of course this is not the case all the time but series like Nadesico chose this method to continue the stories after The Prince of Darkness movie.

There are only 2 volumes of Nadesico Drama CDs available though and both are limited edition which means... it is not likely to come across them now.

I only own a copy of drama cds...unless you are a fan ... a BIG fan of a certain anime, getting drama cds is a waste of money in my opinion [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

Heh, and knowing Japanese is a big help. Several of the CDs I have contain drama portions and the only reason I listen to them is that I have fun trying to correctly identify who is who and I get a small kick when I actually understand something. Makes me realize how much I use visual clues in my translation efforts.

Yeah drama CDs are like radio serials from way back when in the US. Where every week they would do a new chapter of flash Gordon or what not on the radio stations. Which funny as it seem some chinese radio stations here actually are doing something like that.

#24

I actually have heard some of the old radio programs on NPR from time to time, or maybe modern takes on them and it is a shame that they are still not more popular world wide, but it is cool these cd dramas are sort of what they are, now if I only knew more Japanese.

okay. thanks for the clarification. i am definitely getting XC3 when Peach Princess releases the game here in North America.

#26

It has not yet come out in Japan has it? Is the date still June 25, I thought I read somewhere they moved that release date up but cannot remember where and to be honest cannot even remember if it was XC3.

#27

As far as I know, it’s still coming out in June.

Crowd added some more sample CG for the game. From the look of it, some people might not like it IMHO ^^;

#28

I have not seen the new CG but what about it do you think people will not like?

And the same guy being turned into a woman for the THIRD time is really necessary?! (^^")

I mean, come on! If they will really make a sequel, why not other guy? Or maybe two guys being turned into girls this time? Or maybe a GIRL being turned into a man for a change?
Make something new, for heaven's sake!

... who drags Terada-sensei into a gay version of the bus? [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]

#34

It seems like another sex-fest… :’(
Come on, the promise of this kind of game is excellent to make a story out of! Why don’t they take the chance?

Don't need to be a gay version of the bus. I was thinking something like a female-version of the bus, with sex-starved nymphos who will atack any girl-turned-man with non-stop sex!! [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]

And of course, i was thinking about Takuya-male pick the XC-Potion and pour some in the food of his "friends" and teacher who atack him when he were a girl on XC-1 and XC-2. And when they are turned into womens... PAYBACK TIME!! [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

Takuya is not bad looking in either male or female form. However, those molesters are ugly men, and the potion cannot turn them into pretty women. They can still make Takuya's life as hell. T-T

They’ve also just posted a demo. Well, I say demo, movie would be a better term. Well, I say movie, slideshow probably sums it up best. A few images we haven’t seen before, but since I’m dreadfully uncultured as far as language goes, I couldn’t tell you if we really learn anything new. It’s about a 14 Meg download if you’re interested. It’s pretty easy to find if you use the above links.

I still think splitting the two ‘halves’ and having the male and female side meet each other might make an interesting plot.

i just downloaded and watched the slideshow. the quality is okay, i'm just surprised at the amount of pixelation. anyway, the link is at the very bottom of http://www.sis.iowave.co.jp/crowd/soft/xc3/xc3_dl.html

Gamelexgs has posted a demo for XChange 3 to download, too. I think this is another demo, because this one has 81.6 Mb. Give a try.
