@astroshamu:
The game is really text heavy, and many features seem to require that you DO understand what they say (for example - neighbors hinting at their preferred birthday presents, status reports in the city hall etc.). Furthermore - much of the charm of this game comes from the humorous quirky text. That how it was in previous animal crossing versions and that's how it is now.

Another interesting tidbit I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere - the game features use of the 3ds Play Coins (those you get from walking in real-life) - you can exchange it for special fortune cookies with intriguing texts (e.g. a mustached-man is going to feature in your life) which in turn can be exchanged for exclusive objects (in this case - a Mario floor for your house). Really great

Rune factory 4 is brilliant so its certainly worthy of localization. It's the first one in the series I've played, and I love every minute of it. I've already invested dozens of hours in it - there is always something fun and interesting to do. It even utilizes Play Coins (which you can turn daily to in-game money at an ever-changing exchange rate...)

I'm willing to pay for new areas - for example if there would be in the future some new island packs to which you can travel by boat or some underwater areas to visit through diving or anything fun and crazy of the sorts. But it's surely a slippery slope as anyone who ever played The Sims should know

The price is not 150 points but rather 80 (i.e. 4 registered games or in my case - one registered console and 1 game) and this is certainly a great value and great game. Picross is addictive and brilliant (now considering how to get money to purchase Picross E2...)

Has the vertical line scratch problem (caused by the raised edges of the bottom screen) been solved?

Good morning Europe. Games are ready for download...
