Seriously considering buying Requiem for Innocence in a week or two if there's no word on the CE. Which, if the playtime to cost ratio is anything like the OG, will be $14.99 well spent.
I wanna say there's some different art in the CE. Unless I'm thinking of the PlayStation VITA version, where Moyataro was sick and another illustrator had to take over. The art is incredible, I still think of it often and it makes me want to do art more often. If I don't get back in the saddle, I'm going to miss out on a lot of art-making years here. --- Are you watching closely? ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's green and status is 'ready' on the website. All looks good. I have heard some not-so-great tales about their packaging but I hope the games are being packed more carefully now. And I do mean all games, not just because I ordered the CE. Someone who ordered standard should also get a game that hasn't been kicked around unnecessarily. Woohoo! --- Are you watching closely? ...

The summary image is still on the LRG website, that looks like it was nifty. Just gotta cross fingers and toes that delivery people are gentle, or that it's been packed well to avoid damage. I still have a CD player in my car [not sure if this is becoming more rare?]. So excited that I can play the soundtrack on CD when I'm driving around! --- Are you watching closely? ...

It's in my state now, about a half hour away. Might get here before Wednesday [DHL only delivers M-F] or it might not.

Woo! Looks greatThanks! I posted the pic from my phone. It all came in a nice printed box, there's art cards, an art book, two-sided poster of the first and second games' covers, of course the game cartridge itself for the Switch with an oddly detailed inner booklet, a 6-disc soundtrack set, and a fancy-looking holographic card of Michel [not pictured, but I can post it tomorrow probably]. Also, you can go to the 'Back Door' option on the game and answer 3 trivia questions to unlock all chapters, rather than having to play through the original game again. Auto flows very smoothly so far on Requiem for Innocence, my first time playing on the Switch, but the controls were relatively intuitive once I got to know them. Very easy to save, load, and config as needed. So excited to start writeups again soon. Ask me anything, or if you want to see something closer, I'm happy to take more pics, within reason. --- Are you watching closely? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Hope unpacking and settling in goes well! If only I could get Umineko merch this slick too, lol.Right? I do intend to go back and replay Question Arc [on Steam] since it's been a while and I didn't ever get to Answers Arc. >___> I do wish that these sorts of games like this would be able to make diverse, dignified merch for their adult audience. The sort of thing that isn't immediately apparent as a fandom item, but that those 'in the know' would recognize easily. I've seen similar things for Japanese pop-ups on older IPs like Legend of the Galactic Heroes [1988]. Etsy stores do fill in this gap sometimes, but it would be neat to have official: >reusable shopping bags >reusable water bottle [stainless steel or tempered glass] >purses >wallets >luggage >subtle print button-down shirts [like they've done for Pokemon] >ties >silk handkerchiefs >cuff links >hair pins/clips >office supplies, etc. Reminds me of those Red Bard videos where they detail [on an excessively popular franchise, e.g. Evangelion] how you could essentially live using/wearing merch from the franchise. It won't be realized for something like Umineko or Fata Morgana, but a girl can dream. --- Are you watching closely? ... Copied to Clipboard!

I did play a good amount of the beginning but haven't made time to write it up. Lots of intrigue, backstory, drama, fighting, the bloody elements go hard in this one. You see a lot of things that were only described in the OG text and it's tough to stomach, ngl.
Will play more in the next few days and write something up for the weekend. --- Are you watching closely? ... Copied to Clipboard!

My wife grew up in the country and then has been in apartments so this is the first year she has gotten to give out candy (we got our house in December last year).
She is really excited for it. Seems like there are a good number of kids in the neighborhood too. --- "Hope is allowed to be stupid, unwise, and naive." ~Sir Chris ... Copied to Clipboard!

My wife grew up in the country and then has been in apartments so this is the first year she has gotten to give out candy (we got our house in December last year).That's awesome. Handing out candy and treats at Halloween is a serious perk of homebuying. :D Plus you get to be part of the best part of memories growing up for someone! Been playing but sadly not taking notes so I guess when I write this up I'll summarize the first bit. Man, it hits hard with the violins on television. Like, real teeth-grinding, painful stuff if you imagine it like I do. Soundtrack, art, and writing all still amazing. But anyway! More to come. --- Are you watching closely? ... Copied to Clipboard!

None of our neighbors gave candy or had their kids out trick or treating.Lame :| but then again it's a weird year between it being on a weekend and still lingering in the shadow of last year. I'm hoping it picks up again now. When Halloween falls on a weekend, there are so many other activities for the kids to do rather than trick or treating. --- Are you watching closely? ...

Since all the characters are supposed to be inNot gonna lie, there's certain contexts in which English audio just makes sense. I remember feeling this way when Hellsing Ultimate was released - nothing wrong with the Japanese audio, but the English dub just seemed to fit with the content. And hiring actual people from those backgrounds to perform with their native or near-native English, French, etc. accents/dialects didn't hurt. I am a bit more open on this front - have never decided that a certain audio was not worth listening to. I do tend to prefer whatever I've heard first. Best dubs in my opinion are the ones that match the original audio. By that, I mean you can change the audio willy-nilly and still know who each character is by sound alone. Blood+, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Trinity Blood, Trigun [and others that don't come to mind at the moment] all meet this criteria. I kinda wish we had the budget/interest to have multiple audio tracks available for these sorts of games, but alas. --- Are you watching closely? ... Copied to Clipboard!
