Yeah, I'm fairly surprised by that.

I don't think the graph updates in real time.

Agreed. I watched the demo videos and it seems like a ton of non-interactive "story" told by non-animated characters, then some turn-based and somewhat tedious activity. I guess I just don't understand or get into these kinds of games; I prefer action-RPG games like Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony. Just didn't seem like enough to do, but I guess that's just part of the JRPG genre.

Makes three of us. The only thing I can suggest is that everyone makes sure that they replied to the email they got.

This game also affects the future chances of getting a game like Demon Gaze or Labyrinth Cross. The developers WANT to release those games to the US, but if the market's not there or full of people who want the next FF or DQ it's not going to happen.

@chimpmeister - The oldest of the genre love Wizardry for various reasons. Let me take a small whack at it.

Class of Heroes 2 is a JRPG only if you tell yourself that it is. Wizardry is actually sets of puzzles more than anything else - it just has an RPG interface and lets you put as much story into it as you want (I never did actually LOL). I know the WRPGs have been influenced through time by games like Ultima Underworld. Might and Magic 6, Betrayal at Krondor, Morrowind...and JRPGs have their own influences.

I don't complain about others playing Picross or word searches or Tetris .

I just want the type of puzzle I grew up with. If they throw a lot of fluff or suck the life out of it to sell more copies or change it around a lot, I may not buy it because it's all about trade-offs. Great puzzles don't age.

Most early WRPGs were this way.

This game is basically Wizardry + Visual Novel elements.

Two niche things.


The easiest modern equivalent would be Etrian Odyssey

Which is a shame, because Dragon Quest battles were in first person for 20+ years. Just imagine it as playing Dragon Quest but entirely in first person and no overworld lol.

I'm not sure if I'm really going to like this game, but I definitely support releasing more games here that wouldn't otherwise be released, so I ordered a copy.

It'll be released here regardless. The drive is only for physical versions.

in for one.

It's up to 2,100!

Took long enough sadly I don't see it going past 2,300 at this point. I hope they'll still do it!

Isn't there still like 3-4 days left to hit 2,500?

Barring a complete standstill in these last few days or so of sign-ups available it should get there no problem, and if it's really, really close they may just do it anyways.

This will end up be one hell of a valuable UMD. Come on people, sign up.

And because of this, I now condone flippers! eBay some of these suckers to help us meet our goal

Thanks OP! Definitely interested in 1!

If you buy 400, you could almost corner the market. Someone should do it (as long as I get my copy).

400 x $34.99 = $13396

That's going to be quite the investment! When you think about it, you basically have like 800 copies to sell (400 physical and 400 download code)

Would be smart, but since Vic of Gaijinworks is constantly monitoring the sign-up drive, weeding out any excessive amount of copies a person is pledging to buy since chances are it could be a false pledge, I sincerely doubt anyone can purchase 400 copies of the game.

Hoping this will be successful by end of Wednesday/Thursday morning. I posted in a PSP thread over at /v/, hoping someone new finds out about this campaign.
