I wonder which retailers will sell it.
I wasn't going to buy at launch, but if an EU version exists, I might have to grab it.
Pretty interesting that Period Cube is launching first. Maybe Aksys are being smart and realizing the otome drought, so are launching the weakest one first.
As it did during the end of the PSP's life, it'll happen during the end of the Vita's life. Blame the platform and all.

They'd probably announce it beforehand. Small publishers tend to avoid E3 announcements so their news doesn't get buried.

I can imagine them doing what they did last year which is announcing them like a week before then showing them off there.
Three months to go~
Two new otome games are coming to Steam (they were mobile games originally).

Apparently the second game is by the Taisho Alice artist.
I finished one route of Code Realize and don't really like the other characters much so not feeling motivated to do the rest. I also don't really see how you could get a happy ending without ending up with
, so I guess I should play the others to find out. True route is
route I guess? Cardia truly is a great heroine.
....Thinking about it I do have questions about
so I really should play the rest ^^; Now to figure out how Path of Genesis works.
Victor
Lupin
....Thinking about it I do have questions about
Finis, Aleister and Isaac

I see the Hakuoki artist is still getting paid.

Both games are also getting Vita ports. Not in English naturally - that'd be too much

Figured this one would be next since it's fairly popular.
Assume stuff like Diabolik Lovers and Norn9 is coming too.
And once again, they're sabotaging the western sales with an early announcement lol.

Sent them a tweet.
Really? Would you rather play these visual novels now on the Vita where all the otomes are or wait for a potential PS4 pack years down the road? I agree that's sabotaging in other cases like the Dengeki Bunko fighting game (that never came), but this isn't really sabotaging.

I'd rather play on Vita, but we've already seen people in this very thread say they'd wait for the PS4 version of Hakuouki, I don't see why it's any different for Code Realize?
Not that it matters to them in this case since it's Aksys doing the localizing.
Well, there's always a better deal if you wait, even if it's just a sale or a price drop. I don't get that train of thought myself, specially if I really want to play the game, but to each their own.
It's probably going to be another Nightshade situation where they'll ignore any Vita related questions.
They've answered every single question so far, so we'll see.
Same thing happened with Nightshade. All questions but the ones concering a potential Vita release were answered.
Regardless, I don't hold much hope for them releasing the games on Vita as well. That'd be too good to be true.

I don't see it for Diabolik Lovers. I'd love to be surprised but that series is dark as fuck, man. I don't see anyone wanting to put that out in a market like this that isn't used to that kind of stuff.
I personally don't like to wait for a price drop, but if I have to pay twice for the same game in two parts or I could just buy it once... I mean they've already gotten my money the first two times lol. I would prefer to play it on Vita as I like to snuggle up on the couch with otome but I'd consider waiting for sure.
It's not the same artist.
I feel like it's not as big as a deal as Hakuoki since Aksys might not have known about the port when they licensed the CR fandis, but it makes sense that the reason that IFI are even releasing the second part of Hakuoki is because they planned on releasing the PS4 port from the start.
But they aren't even PSN publishers as far as I know so it's kinda pointless. It's not like D3P who can potentially publish the vita version of Nightshade but choose not to.
Can i consider the Steam version inferior because they couldn't bother to sell a DLC which is the new content?
Well, it definitely will be inferior. Don't know how much new content there will be though. Could be something minor.
Will the localization still be a mess?
Gotta wait until "April" to find out. Personally, I don't have high hopes that it won't be a mess.
Oh my~ *o*
At first I was excited, but then I saw it's exclusive to their online store and their international shipping is ridiculous.
Hahhahaha...it's $73...that's going to be what - 73 pounds in Europe, not including shipping? Yikes.
At least you're not the only one with pricing woes
.At least we dodged a bullet, as May wasn't already expensive as it is.
I do hope it sells out so that we can get more otome games and more LEs.
IFI do have a european store too, it might get put up there and then the European shipping won't be as bad. This is what they list at the moment in their FAQ - https://store.iffyseurope.com/pages/shipping-informationHahhahaha...it's $73...that's going to be what - 73 pounds in Europe, not including shipping?

That obviously won't help Shizuka though

They mentioned that preorders will go alive on the same day on their EU store. I'm mainly worried about the conversion.
It'll be the first one I miss... I have the PSP, 3DS and PS3 ones.

It'll be my first but I'M IN.
What's naff mean? Looks pretty! Love the colors.
I beliieve 'naff' means something tasteless or classless, lacking style, that sort of deal. It does look hella pretty tho. I preordered it. Need more Otome in my life.
Just holding out for the Code: Realize and Amnesia fandiscs.
The Amnesia fandiscs are so amazing that one of them even retconned the plot of the original game.
Seriously...nothing happens in them. Otomate just milking the series. I'd rather they'd skip any fandiscs to be honest. Heck, Hakuoki is one of my favorite games ever and I'd still take another game over Hakuoki SSL too.

I just want more Kent, tbh. He was the best hasubando.
As for CR... Sholmes route. That is all.
The thing about C:R is you really do need to see every character's true ends to get the full, crashing experience of them all coming together in the true true end. Try to stick with it; you'll be well rewarded by 〜Future Blessings〜 if you like Finis ;3 Or Sholmès. Or anyone, ha ha.
Unfortunately in the case of Fata Morgana, trying to sort things out between Novectacle, MangaGamer (from which the main and fan disc localizations would need to be licensed) and HuneX (dramatic create's parent company) has me very fatalistic about seeing -Collected Edition- in the West. On top of all that, a potential publisher would need to localize the Modern Day Chapter and numerous short stories.
I want to believe it will happen, and as a VN localizer myself I would offer my services for el cheapo to help bring it to fruition...
Yeah, you're right. I finished it about a week ago. I did like how all the non-true routes built up to provide background to the true route but honestly none of the other routes really appealed to me. Especially Lupin, although maybe I was just mad that he
was always boasting about how good he was then his info always led to a trap lol.
Heh, I can get behind some of your complaints there. Yes, FB is the fan disc, but it's an unusually full-featured one. All five mains have after stories that spin off their individual true endings, a Sholmès route is added, a devastating what-if Finis route, a comedic route that explains where Lupin was always off to when he disappeared during the main story, and a pure jokeyhappycutesy set of eight omake scenarios that might be called "Delacroix II route".
