Yeah, I've used the guide for the first case only. I'd probably be using that guide whether my Japanese was good enough or not.
How much could you understand when you played it?

Very little. Just the key beats, it's a very dense script.
Well, maybe if they port the PS2 version... it's night and day in comparison to the DS version. (Not to mention the removed OP)

Excellent work. Thank you very much!

You're welcome, everyone.
Firstly, THANK YOU.
Secondly, can you assuage any of my concerns about the game's original content?
And how far along is it?

Sorry, I can't say anything.
(I'm also not on the team. I've moved onto a dev team internally to work on a brand new project. Hopefully I can talk about what I'm working on in a couple months)

Understood. Looking forward to the reveal, and I trust the team know what a gem they have on their hands.

Never heard of this before, reading up on it and now im hyped, really wanna play Moonlight Syndrome too but that'll be a miracle.

I always figured your name was a reference, heh. MS can happen, but it'll take time. Vermillion's been doing a translation of it at her blog and EsperKnight plans to put it in game afterward.
If you've ever played Danganronpa 2, it has MS in it, basically.
The Silver
Member
Yeah i played DR2, i knew that part was reference to an old game but i thought that was as far as it went, not that it was basically the whole game.
cj_iwakura
Member
Not even close, but it's the same idea. Graphic style is pretty much 1:1.
The link in the OP talks about how MS ties into TSC, but I'd avoid the TSC section.
Basically,
the main character of MS is TSC's antagonist.

Wow, thanks a lot then!

Thank you SO MUCH, dude. Seriously. I'm so happy this is finally releasing in the west.

You have to realize this is the Suda51 equivalent of going back and releasing Megami Tensei 1 and 2. So, thank you!!!
Oooh, there's more triangles on the teaser site. Believe in the Internet!

This is like the most unlikely game on my wishlist to ever get. Flower, Sun & Rain is one of my all time favourite games. Blows my mind how you people managed to make this a reality. It's great that we can say thanks to the likes of you [even if it's just over the interwebs] for making this a reality for us plebs (fellow Berserk fan +1).
Thank you!

Rewatch the end of FSR sometime. You'll notice the last scene is done in the style and font of The Silver Case, even in the localization. I don't get the importance of the dialogue, but apparently it's very significant.This is like the most unlikely game on my wishlist to ever get.

Finally that ending will make sense for us! Erm, hopefully, that is. Been listening to Takada's water -For Relaxing Time- (Flower, Sun & Rain OST music) all evening in celebration.
Noticed Suda posted this on Twitter:
"IndieMegaBooth PLAYISM Booth." (Silver Case artwork)

I have a theory that (TSC/FSR spoilers!)
at some point during TSC, Tetsugoro lent Sumio Kodai that money. So the stinger is that he knows Mondo is Kodai.
if you shift the letters by 3, it spells out:
THE SILVER CASE

still can't believe it's happening, I'm so excited for the game

That's what I figured too looking it up online after beating FS&R looking for answers to that ending (which even confuses the Japanese players too). I'm wondering if these remakes will eventually lead to new entries after FS&R so we can see what happened after. I mean, it's fun to think about the events after that game. Maybe if we get The Silver Case: Ward 25 we will see what happens with certain other characters? No idea where that game fits in the timeline (I mean, I kinda don't want to know yet until after we get The Silver Case) but getting better context for these characters and events will make FS&R even better.

From what I recall(may have to double check Paradise Hotel's write up), it's a direct sequel and focuses on another group of detectives investigating a new series of killings.

I also saw this at Mandarake Shibuya, apparently it was a pamphlet of some kind.

Also, here's how the title screen looks, which the teaser site is paying homage to:

Very nice, looks neater than the cover.
It's honestly the most exciting announcement of the year so far; I'm not sure if anything at E3 could beat this for me. I've been wanting to play The Silver Case ever since I finished Killer7 a decade ago. Killer7 is my favorite game of all time, and I honestly do think it has the best story in all of gaming. To get another game that Suda51 both wrote and directed is fantastic! I know that it's going to be something truly unique and interesting. Thank you for helping to bring The Silver Case over; I'm looking forward to playing this at last!
Grasshopper really has a thing for frogs?
This is GhM's first game; why wouldn't that alone do that?
cj_iwakura

I think this tops anything in the decade for me. This is the kind of thing you'd never think would happen.
PAX is done and I'm beat. Thought I'd stop in here just to see what's up tho. Love that y'all have the postcard all sorted out. Had a young lady swing by the booth and was determined to figure it out before she left. Didn't take too long. I was really happy to see that enthusiasm.
Was a good show overall. Suda did a lot of interviews so pretty soon you'll all get a nice peek at what's in store.

Haha man Berserk is just the best! Wish we could get the rest of the story already though. If you make it to PAX Prime come by our booth and ask for Dan. It'd be rad to meet you

I can not wait. I'm kind of sad you didn't just drop the shroud early, but I respect you for sticking to your guns. There better be one heck of a reveal, though.
Are there any pics of the TSC thing at the booth? All I saw was Suda's instragram pic.

I have to be honest, I was too young to ever get interested in Suda's games, nevermind the fact that those games would never arrive to my country. However that thread where a Gaffer described on depth Kill The Past games and how they are connected were mind blowing. For that, I can happily say I'm excited.
I also hope that this means that Suda is coming back to direct and write games. Quite a unique style that games need.
EDIT: I do remember, however, Flower, Sun & Rain for DS back when I wanted a DS. I read over and over again GameInformer's preview for the game. It sounded amazing. I hope I have the chance to finally play it in the future as well.

I'll switch to Sumio Kodai avatar when the game is revealed, for sure so thanks for making those. Not that I don't like Eric's (from Zero Escape 3) design or anything, it's just hard to compete with Sumio.
I'd love to, unfortunately I'm stuck in an office in England. And yeah the wait sucks, but what with me being a Shenmue fan, a Berserk fan, an old school Resident Evil fan (which may be back with RE Remake), a Kill The Past fan (and fan of Suda's early work in general); I am used to these long waits now. Just got to make sure I live a long life to see all of them come to completion in my lifetime, hehe.
Suda mentioned to one of his fans in Japanese on Twitter to wait until the start of May since he is getting so many Tweets off them about it since the fans in Japan are going crazy about it due to its cult status over there. So if it's the start of May, at least it's not a long wait for the big reveal or anything.

I may or may not have had an interview with Suda about this very thing... (I'm in the center)
I did find out that Suda is why Hotline Miami is out in Japan, and I was the first person to show the game to him....
