civilstrife · (05-06-2007, 08:11 AM)

Do you hear that?

It's the sound of a nation, rising as one.

To purchase this game.

Andonuts · (05-06-2007, 08:11 AM)

Hopefully this year

Red Scarlet · (05-06-2007, 08:31 AM)

Yeah. I don't know. It's one of the 4 pictures I've seen so I grabbed it.

I don't think a US date has been said yet?

Eteric Rice · (05-06-2007, 08:31 AM)

Incomming first killer app (aside from Wii Sports and Paper Mario, I mean).

I WANT.

And that girl is hot... In an anime kinda way.

cvxfreak · (05-06-2007, 08:33 AM)

Looking good.

Very nice! I hope they keep that design for the US boxart.

Probably not. It looks like art from a third party (not in a bad way, it's great, it just doesn't look official).

Which probably means it's hentai.

Which means he couldn't post it.

No but its been announced for NA and its been hinted at for this year.

Yes, he most certainly couldn't.

I bet if he knew Red Scarlet was a girl he wouldn't have even mentioned the Hentai part (rolls eyes)

Really I've only seen the two official arts, like this:

The one in my av (which is her butt sticking out in the rest of it):

(NSFW? lol)
http://www.mirai.ne.jp/~gotop/words/hn07.jpg

Then two in-game shots. Haven't really found anything else.

I'm not really good at searching for pictures for the most part. I'll look for an hour+ and maybe find one that I like.

Nuclear Muffin · (05-06-2007, 08:41 AM)

Hawt! Please deliver on this S-E/Eighting! I desperately want a good Wii sword fighting game!

:lol That one really looks wrong even though there is nothing technically wrong with it

Red Scarlet · (05-06-2007, 08:42 AM)

Cropping is supercool. I know a number of my avs wouldn't work without it.

Pureauthor · (05-06-2007, 08:44 AM)

Heh. Thanks anyway, RS.

I tried summoning pedobear but I get the message "not enough lolita" :( Needs more lolita.

Red Scarlet · (05-06-2007, 08:45 AM)

So if you do find some that may be cool, I'm all ears(?).

Have any previews or interviews said how text-heavy this game is? If it is rather straightforward to get through, it shouldn't be too hard to play through the import.

Just wait for the character's age to be announced as 9 or 12.

The technical term for what you are looking at is zettai ryouiki (kinda NSFW).

Japan I do not understand your obsession with little girl's bottoms but it creeps me out

_Alkaline_ · (05-06-2007, 08:54 AM)

I still wonder just how well this game will see in Japan. The question is whether they will willingly buy a game that is so heavily based on action, and is on rails.

Being on the wii certainly does not guarantee third-party sale success, as most third-party games in Japan have shown. It's highly likely that being Dragon Quest, this game will sell very well, but as I said just because it's on wii doesn't mean it will automatically do great.

Smiles and Cries · (05-06-2007, 08:59 AM)

nice boxart

but damn this thread turned for the ugly... turn it back

No but being Dragon Quest will raise it to the level of attention it needs to sell really well to the Wii audience. Its a combination of all 3 factors.

I blame the lack of Pedobear GIFs. Without him the tide of pedos can not be overturn

Farflung information-gathering networks, a ravenous hunger for current events and cultural ambiguity waiting to be cleared, and I use it to nitpick Japanese pervnerd slang.

While this girl probably could be described as that, even in official art isn't she wearing her skirt a bit high for it to be a great example? I know, I know, the sample shots on the site you linked, but the further up you can see the less distinct it is.

All in all, she'd probably be a bit better off with lower socks and then a lower skirt.

Heterochromia is hot now. Read your memos more often, it's been building for like half a decade.

sonikokaruto · (05-06-2007, 09:19 AM)

PUFF PUFF MASSAGES FOR EVERYONE!

I WAS RIGHT!

Almost.

Soule · (05-06-2007, 09:29 AM)

Hmmm nice boxart, but I'm hoping my regional box has a bit more colour in the background when it's released here

I guess this is a fad in Japan?

Oh, what did I do by posting that avatar.

What, you don't hear the sounds of "fap, fap, fap?"

It's not me making those sounds.

GAF members are in ur house. Fappin' on ur internetz.

Smiles and Cries · (05-06-2007, 09:47 AM)

this is the old (official) original art

I wonder why it ended up on the box?

Red Scarlet · (05-06-2007, 09:48 AM)

Probably because it's the old, official, original art.
