There are no framerate issues. It’s a deliberate choice to simulate the look of traditional 2D animation.

It’s nothing new, really, just watch pretty much any super robot anime with CG mecha and you’ll see. It was this way in the first two Love Plus games and it will be like this in the next twenty they make, no matter what console, unless they decide to go for another style.

It’s a well known fact, that if something can throw a gamer off track, it’s this:

“Relax, it’s just a game” or “Calm down, it’s just a game” or, as this forum proudly displays “don’t panic, it’s just a game”.

It pains me to see people still writing this, and it kills me to see the creators doing so. Pacman is just a game. Tetris is just a game. Half life, Assassin’s Creed, Skyrim, LIMBO, Portal and Katawa Shoujo alike, isn’t just games. It’s art, it’s beauty, it’s something to be experienced and admired, it’s something you put your time into, it’s one of the few positive sides of the human mind and influence. It’s something that makes you think and wonder, something that makes you feel and jadda jadda, I’m not gonna try and give a lengthy speech, since I’ve already made my point.

Please don’t say it’s just a game, it’s like saying World Trade Center was just some buildings with some people.

I play games a lot, but only Japanese games, because American games are boring and simple-minded.

There are tons of Japanese games for girls. They should at least get some advice from their Japanese friends or fellows~

I agree with the first comment already bought it all so recheck the sales because that’s as good as it gets and you want more millions of dollars then make another game don’t just sit on the one’s out there and ridicule your customers. Wow no wonder Japan was nuked

What the hell. Why are there no honorifics? I thought JAST was pro-honorifics.

Outside the partial voicing, now I won’t be able to know how characters are being addressed in respect to honorifics, won’t be able to get that warm feel since I know I’m missing out on something that adds to the script and to characterization.

Seriously, the delay was bad enough, and now I am even more disappointed in JAST.

So let’s be honest here.

From a Japanese perspective there is no bigger series under Sega’s belt than Sakura Taisen.

It made them more money than even Sonic. From a Japanese perspective, Sakura Taisen outsold Final Fantasy, Megaten, and Dragon Quest. The series has recieved more GOTY nominations and awards than any of those above series.

it recieved a mainstream acceptance that no video game series has except for Pokemon,

even getting its own store, multiple manga and anime adapations and basically

setting every employee of Red Company up for life.

It is the only series where every single game has made it onto Famitsu’s “Top XXX games of all time” list. The ONLY series. From a Japanese perspective, pretty much every Sakura Taisen game should just be given a free pass into the Hall. But that’s Japan. This is North America where only one game has made it stateside and it it took until 2010 to do so where the game recieved critical praise, but horrible sale figures. So which do we go with as the success and acceptance of the game very, VERY, different. For me the two cancel each other out and so you have to look at just the quality of the game itself. Yes, SWV is the worst game in the series, but considering it won three awards from us in 2010 (PS2 game, RPG of the year and Best gameplay), saying it is the worst game of the series is like saying being left a metric ton of gold by an obscure relative isn’t as good as getting a metric ton of platinum.

…Most of all I think I love this game for reminding me of a time when Steampunk was cheery and brightly coloured and HAPPYFUN

instead of the grimdark angsty goth shit it’s become in this country.

Sakura Taisen was one of the originators of steampunk and it’s the version I grew up loving. Screw you modern American warping fun shit into angst and emo.
