Yeah the boss battle theme is pretty cool, but I dunno if there is much in the way of music aside from battle, event themes and town stuff. I think the dungeons are just ambient noises.

There are about 30 music selections in the game, which is plenty for a soundtrack - there's just no time to do the licensing, etc to release one.
If support keeps up and you end up localizing the fourth game are you going to call it "Class of Heroes Final" even though it totally isn't the final game?
Because I think that'd be just ducky.

That makes sense. I am just glad that the physical edition campaign is getting a good start.

I don't want or need physical releases. So I'll just wait and get the game digitally.
Gungho was already setting up the US operation (it wasn't public for a long time) when we were doing the CoH deal. Nothing's changed.
The "Final" was supposedly not meant to imply the series was done, but more like exam finals. Although the next Totomono game they released was Chrono Academy, a name I like a lot.
But final exams are called final exams because they're the last tests you take in a given school year. The implication of the title is not changed in any meaningful way.
It's a completely academic distinction.
Exactly. The circle is complete.

I also didn't know about the kickstarter and I backed Pier Solar HD / Eternal whatever. I signed up for 2 since I never bought any new WD games (sorry I was kid!) but have loved what I have played (lunar, vanguard bandits, Growlanser) and I gotta have my physical copy.
Those DF stickers are hard to come by on ebay. I recently decided I wanted a complete DF and have passed on 90% of "complete" auctions for not having it. I have seen some though and I'm at school and don't have my Saturn up here so I can wait for them to pop up and one will be mine.

I sincerely doubt that, but I can say they will probably hold their value exceptionally well. Then again, I'm the moron that made 50-odd Elemental Gearbolt Assassins cases and only kept one for myself. Who knew it would be worth $3k+ in the future?
I want it, but amazon doesn't ship video games to my country...
Amazon is not handling the shipping, they are only handling the payment processing. We are doing all the fulfillment (no Digital River, promise).
I'll do what I can to support RPGs that come with color manuals...hell manuals in general in this day and age.
Doesnt hurt that Etrian Odyssey pulled me into first person dungeon crawler games, so now I want to give any that are supposed to be good a shot.

I need to buy the first one, but I signed up for the physical copy for sure. Thanks so much.
I work at GameStop so I will see if I can get my co-workers to buy the physical copy.
Etrian Odyssey. . . Sadly I came into it late. I found a copy at a midnight release of another game. I must say the midnight release game is crap compared to Etrian Odyssey 3. Which is my first one played.
So many DS games I learned about in the past year or so I want but are expensive.

Vic isn't it odd to jump into a sequel without doing the original?

We did it with Cosmic Fantasy 2 - it was the better game. And in this case, the first Class of Heroes has some aspects that made it really annoying (i.e. not fun) to play that are fixed in CoH2. However, the original is available in English if you absolutely must play it. We just didn't do it.

Any plans to raise awareness for this? I've not seen it mentioned outside of NeoGAF.
Oh, and thank you for making the Sega CD something worth owning!

Would it be possible for KS backers to purchase the standard insert as an extra?
T'would be cool to have both

We'll only have packaged, complete goods from Sony manufacturing. KS supporters could request 1 copy of each type, though.
Yeah, we're working on that now. Some smaller sites have picked it up, but we're working on increasing that. We're over 900 units of the physical+digital now, which is a good start for day 2.
And thanks for buying our SEGA CD stuff!

Ah, interesting - I didn't realise sony manufactured the cases themselves.
I haven't done packaged console goods for a while, and before we pushed to be able to do PlayStation fulfillment ourselves, which we eventually did, but in this case it's just too short notice and too small a run to do that. If we get this one to a physical release I'll probably work that direction for successive physical runs on coming titles.

Ni no Kuni, Fire Emblem, Etrian Odyssey 4, and Class of Heroes 2 - this is turning out to be quite the front-loaded year for RPGs. I want them all, but I'm not sure when I'm going to have time to play all of them. And then there's Soul Hackers in a couple months...
Good luck on rounding up enough preorders for a physical copy. I have no desire for one myself (I buy digital whenever I can) but I know some people prefer them. And I imagine it may turn into quite the collector's item 10 years from now.

Every little bit helps. 1000 units is the next milestone, which is pretty good for day 2.

That to me would be like playing eternal blue done by you guys but not the original lunar. I'm buying anyway because I love WD but I just thought it was odd doing a series that someone else did the original.
Maybe if all goes well we can have a WD version of the first

Even if we had been with it from the start, I would probably have skipped the first CoH. It's just really, really annoying to play. The story is nowhere near as integrated as LUNAR, though. Given that we have 3 more CoH games ahead of us to do as long as the low minimum level of fan support we need to do them stays with us, the Atlus version of the first game will have to do for completists. One thing's for sure, if we can do them all, there will be continuity of tone from here forward, which is always nice. Making reconciliation decisions on place/race/etc names on CoH2 to match CoH1, where practical, was annoying.

Wow, if only the Kickstarter had this kind of hype. Glad to see some people still love the PSP.

How many souls of Atlus faithful will you require to license Growlanser PSP, Victor? I know a guy.

I signed up. Sure, why not?
What's this about a Kickstarter thing?

It would probably be really expensive to do. I doubt Victor would leave the voice track blank. That wouldn't seem like something he would do ;P
But hey I would throw money at that if it could happen.

They tried to do a Kickstarter for a deluxe physical release with snazzy Working Designs-style extras, it barely got anything.
It was poorly marketed and handled, sadly.
There was a stretch goal for a dub, too. With John Truitt.
And in a dreamworld, Kickstarter localizations could be a thing. Imagine the support.
Lower price point than the deluxe kickstarter is helpful, and I really think the Vita compatibility option only improves that. Also, either/or platform flexibility, plus a loving home for the series that will be completed as long as the fans stick with us at a base level are motivators. I'm pretty optimistic since we're almost halfway there after 1.5 days, but we have to keep the momentum up and keep getting the word out to make it.
If we have the support of the fans, we're pretty much committed through CoH5. Of course, Sony could go Sybil at any time and quash that, but for now they seem to again have a supportive and dedicated group that "gets" us and what fans want, so it looks positive.
Hopefully it will get easier, though, once we re-establish a track record and grow more fans. Scraping to get 2500 physical copies spoken for is crazycakes.

Theoretically this could pass just off NeoGAF's membership!
Pretty sure Atlus Japan isn't licensing out Growlanser any more. We've asked about various licenses related to Growlanser (plus PSN release of Growlanser Generations) and they aren't interested in talking about it. The fans clearly aren't a concern.

That's been Atlus USA's calling card for a while now.
Wow, ok.

Woof. At least my work won't go in vain then.
