I'm interested since it sounds, well, interesting, touching mechanics be damned (lewd is alright, but touch mechanics are on my "dislike" part of the list for the most part) as long as the gameplay is fine. I'll reserve judgement for when more stuff is out.

 

[shink]

I hope the touchscreen parts aren't a major focus. I don't really care for them but won't avoid a game because of it (unless it's disgusting)

[hongcha]

This just went on my "to buy" list. NIS stuff on the Vita is usually quite good.

 

[Magicpaint]

Why oh why did there have to be that element. Everything else sounds great and to my taste, but I'll wait for screens/art and more details to be sure where I stand on this.

 

[Shizuka]

I'm still trying to find those pesky scans to see if it's really a DRPG, even though I know I won't be able to post them here.

 

[DevilTakoyaki]

I haven't seen anyone post these pic yet.

Sorry if it's old.

Edit:
Ohh sorry

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Edit those scans out of your post if you don't want to get banned.

 

[InfiniteNine]

No scans allowed~! Better take those off quick.

 

[Trigonometrize.]

Are the developers happy making these woman-touching games?

Kiyoka (voiced by Izumi Chiba) – Her trademark is her side ponytail. She has a generally positive attitude, but is a bit of a ditz.

Soundtrack by Brite Futures confirmed.

 

[AniHawk]

NISA is desperate for games to localize since they lost GUST and at least some of the Neptune games. I'd be willing to bet that this will be localized if it's even halfway decent, and maybe even if it isn't.

there are other things they can publish, and probably will publish. it's not like they're bringing over the vita horror vn thing or the 20th anniversary game or yandere hell.

 

[cws]

Creepier than I expected.

 

[AniHawk]

i laughed way way too hard.

Hang on just lemme give 'em a call and find out.

Anything to stop the homogenization of gaming is a good thing.

pfffffffffffff

 

[Squire]

Don't ever stop doing what you're doing NIS. You're fulfilling the needs of an often neglected worldwide demographic and while I may not ever purchase a product of this type, I fully support your right to develop and publish them.

Anything to stop the homogenization of gaming is a good thing. No complaints from me here.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Another perv vita game? In before lock.

 

[Resilient]

You had my curiosity...



...but now, you have my attention.

Laughed out loud on the street at this. Lmao.

 

[Supermanisdead]

don't know why it seems like every damn vita game has some weird pervy touching minigame. making it a real hard sell to me. too bad, i was interested in the concept, but there are so many other options without girl touching minigames so it's a pass for me.

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

I don't mind a bit of fan-service, but come on, there's more ways to interact with virtual girls than poking, petting, and whatever Criminal Girls had you doing. Where's the innovation?

Anyway, I'm probably going to skip this game, as it doesn't seem to have anything interesting going for it gameplay-wise, unless something new is revealed that absolutely blows me away.

 

[2+2=5]

Finally saw the scan, since it was floating around, though it not really clear. Look like a top down dungeon crawler and first person during the battle. And there are indeed fan-service/ecchi stuff from what I saw. The 3 heroine design is pretty good though, so I'm okay with that

Spoiler

for now

Having seen the pics, it looks good. The artstyle's quite nice, love the warmer color tones they went for. The actual designs kind of remind me of Idolm@ster, but aged up and Edo style.

The dungeon gameplay pretty much looks like Recettear, where you mine for minerals and stuff with a little pickaxe, but it turns into Demon Gaze when you initiate a battle. Enemies seem to be on the field, so no random encounters.

The touching mechanic actually seems fairly reserved compared to stuff like Bullet Girls. The girl's wearing a full hakama and the player seems to be stroking a braid of her hair. I think. Could also be her chest, but it's a little hard to tell.

Can't wait to see some better screens when it gets officially revealed tomorrow.

It sounds like they basically took the MIA Chronos Materia(basically a top down Atelier game) and added some lewd stuff.
This is(was?) Chronos Materia.

Chronos Materia is MIA? Too bad.

EDIT:
saw the scans(i dunno if all), it seemed to me that the 3 heroines are the ones exploring and fighting, i didn't see the blacksmith.

Chronos Materia is MIA? Too bad.

Long time has passed since the last news and it should have been released last year in Japan.

 

[bigjig]

I'm sure the touchscreen parts will be censored to fall more in line with American tastes.

 

[AniHawk]

I'm sure the touchscreen parts will be censored to fall more in line with American tastes.

or maybe the game just won't come out in the west to fall more in line with american tastes.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

or maybe the game just won't come out in the west to fall more in line with american tastes.

I think this is a game that transcends cultures.

 

[test_account]

I think he said that because there is so many games on the Vita that are just pandering.

Yeah, that might be. I was just wondering =)

 

[Acquiescence]

or maybe the game just won't come out in the west to fall more in line with american tastes.

Just like Monster Monpiece then.

 

[edotherocket]

My namesake game!

 

[Mr-Joker]

Americans aren't the only Western country in the world.

That'd be quite sad. The art looked really gorgeous.

 

[Mexen]

Alright, NIS fine...

*gets on all fours*

Where do you want me? My body is ready.

 

[Eolz]

Scans made me more interested. Don't really care about the ecchi minigame, doesn't seem overly ridiculous like some other vita games.

A video will probably sell me on this if the animations are good, I like the artstyle.

 

[2+2=5]

Meh, where is the reveal?
The site updated with another image of a (beautiful)girl.
I wanted some screen and vids!

Someone can tell me what is written?

 

[ohlawd]

the girls look decent.

Americans aren't the only Western country in the world.

breh they the only ones who matter.

 

[Schobeleth]

Could someone PM me to point me in the right direction to see what everyone else is seeing?

 

[2+2=5]

Judging by description and scans i say that this one

personifies(very well)
Yuugiri (voiced by Shizuka Ito) – She has an attractive face and figure, but is clumsy and pessimistic about everything.

this one

personifies(but the in game girl has short light brown, almost blonde, hair)
Asaka (voiced by Tsuji Shizuka) – She’s obsessed with profit. Keeps her public and private lives separate, but is friendly with customers.

and this one

personifies
Kiyoka (voiced by Izumi Chiba) – Her trademark is her side ponytail. She has a generally positive attitude, but is a bit of a ditz.

Well Shin Hayarigami isn't even out in Japan yet, so we don't know if they're bringing that over, and they actually are bringing over the 20th anniversary game.

 

[fek]

Art looks very nice, I like it.

If I didn't totally screw up the kanji, it says 逢瀬の刻迫る, which essentially translates to "The time of the romantic rendezvous approaches." I'd wager it should update in the next 12 hours or so.

Thanks
Couldn't they just reveal it?

 

[Kresnik258]

This is(was?) Chronos Materia.

Sigh. I keep getting reminded of this game recently. I really hope it isn't cancelled, but it was supposed to release September last year iirc and we haven't heard a thing since then.

 

[Schobeleth]

Another GAFfer showed two to me, but there's two other ones floating around. I reposted/assembled them in a follow up piece on my site. Still waiting for better scans to translate and such to see if there's any new info.

 

[AniHawk]

they actually are bringing over the 20th anniversary game.

they are?

this one?

I wish they were localizing that one. I thought Guided Fate Paradox was their 20th anniversary game, though.

 

[desmax]

Dammit. That gave me a laugh
