Mega Klefki, please.

I am so much more excited for this than I thought I'd be.

I can see some major brand confusion happening when these two games are released.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

This is going to be really interesting. I can't wait to see what Natsume has in store.

I feel like the voice is something that I'll get used to; in my opinion, it suits the character.

Not terrible, but nowhere near as good as this commercial for Double Dash:

@ACK: Fair enough. I can see how one wouldn't like that they're asking for funds for what is, essentially, a pretty RPG Maker game.

Keep in mind, though, that JRPGs are generally judged by their art, soundtrack, and story. I honestly don't see how mechanics matter very much.

@ACK: Just look at the art and listen to the soundtrack; it's pretty obvious that there's more to it than your usual "slap premade sprites and a sub-par story full of cliches together" kind of RPG Maker game.

OMORI looks kind of great.

This is so freaking adorable.

@dumedum Of course they're going to link to their sister site every now and then. It's a good way to get visitors/new members.

@Chriiis: You're right, I should have stated my opinion better, rather than making such a flippant statement.

It's silly not to support this title (which will no doubt determine future localizations) simply because it doesn't contain the option of gay marriage. To me it sounds like "if your game is contradicting my personal beliefs, then I won't support your game!" it's childish and stupid. If you don't want to buy the game because you don't like the game itself, then of course you shouldn't buy it. Not buying a game simply because the developers aren't adding in a feature that would, I'm sure, drastically reduce sales, then you're being silly.

@Technosphile: That was supposedly a "glitch," and was patched even in the Japanese version.

Just putting this out there: I, myself, am gay, and if some of you guys are seriously not going to buy this because of the lack of a gay marriage option, you're just being plain stupid.

Tappingo and Layton for me! Great week, in my opinion.

@avarisclari: @NickieBoy: That's almost certainly not going to happen. It did terribly in Japan from what I've heard, and I can only imagine it would do as bad or worse in other territories.

Anyways, I'm surprised they decided to try localizing this rather than Fantasy Life. FL definitely seems like the safer option in my opinion.

Just cancelled my refurbished Wii U order from Nintendo's store and bought this instead.

I'm really enjoying all of the news about imports. Keep it up!

I find this highly entertaining.

@EarthoundBenjy The updated Japanese version of Bravely Default (the one America and Europe are getting/got), titled "For the Sequel," does include an English text/voice option, though the non-updated version does not.

This is a nice guide for navigating menus and stuff, but if you want to import lots of Japanese games, it's best to just learn the language. If you're diligent, you'd be able to learn enough grammar and kanji to tackle a text-heavy RPG within 1-2 years, which isn't very long if you ask me.

@rjejr They're saying they're competing in the gaming industry by creating consoles that stand apart from their rivals' consoles. It makes complete sense to me,

Hoping for a Rune Factory 4 or Harvest Moon community to be added next.

As long as they aren't taking away content from the previous version and now marking it as DLC, I honestly couldn't care less about the option of buying microtransactions. Definitely not a reason to not buy this game.

This looks interesting. If I ever get a Wii U, I'll definitely consider buying or renting this.

Why does this have a 2013 release date for USA and EU? As far as I know, localization for this game hasn't been announced yet.

I'm not quite sure why the 2DS has two outer cameras, as it won't even be able to view the 3D photos.

I do like that they made a cheaper and more durable 3DS for younger kids, but I feel like the design could have been better.

I remember playing and beating the Genesis version back when I was 4 years old. Definitely going to pick this one up soon.
