Kind of weird to put together a presser with food and drinks for one announcement of an otome, but it sounds like it was fun anyway. =P
Would love to attend something like this some day, but I live in FlyOverville, CA. Or not even that. Fly300kmSouthCuzThereAin'tShitUpHereville.

Disappointed that we won't get a LE but I'll buy it anyway. I hope it sells well in steam/psn so we can get the fandiscs soon.
I wonder if they will end up releasing the mobile ports as well.
Sad news indeed. ah well.
I was browsing VNDB and saw that the original Amnesia came out on August 18 2011, and that August 18 is on a Tuesday this year. Lol, was that actually a coincidence?
Hmm, could be. Though it'd be a pretty big coincidence since August 1st also has a significance in the game too.
Kinda surprising but at the same time I kinda want to say "Told you so". Should curb your expectations really, you guys kinda overhyped yourselves and it's not like they went overboard teasing or promoting this. And Moero just makes no sense to release in the West, especially not in the current games climate where it'd basically be massacred.
Well, at least it looked like a fun dinner event.
And someone mentioned outsourced translations, well, if we go by those same credits, the translators are actually a combination of IFI and IF Japan's employees with a person or two who edits the stuff.

When they were originally formed in 2013 there was an interview where they said they're just 7 people, and I thought they'd have expanded by now but guess I was wrong. Honestly, if you ever looked at a Neptunia game's credits, you could see they're basically a footnote at the very end.An interesting thing I found out is that IFI is just 6 people.

So the embargo should be over by now, right? I assume nothing new has come to light?
I believe we have another half hour before the embargo is lifted.
You know even though I disliked the anime, I'll buy Amnesia to support more otome games getting localized. Wait for me cagey! I'd also buy an LE only release.

Press release
Straight outta the heart of beautiful downtown San Francisco, were super-pumped to bring you a slew of announcements from our inaugural event! With our very first visual novel ever coming out, more Neps, and more titles for Steam, 2015′s looking like an exciting year for Iffy!

Can love transcend time, space, and lost memories? Delve into this question with Amnesia: Memories, which will be exclusively digital for the PlayStation®Vita system in August, with a Steam release following soon after! It will also be compatible with PlayStation®TV. In this visual novel, your life depends on hiding your recent loss of memory while you navigate complex relationships with five men. Will you be able to piece together that which was forgotten and rewrite the lasting love story you deserve, or will your love story come to an end?

Welcome to GAF, shymel!
Nice to see you again Shiz!
Yep the email confirms just a digital release which I can understand. Hopefully any other Vita otome localizations can get physical releases though.

I wonder what happened to Fairy Fencer F steam and if it's still planned. It got announced together with Rebirth 1.

I can imagine NISA trying to stop them from releasing it by messing with localization rights or something.
This is an interesting one.I wonder what happened to Fairy Fencer F steam and if it's still planned. It got announced together with Rebirth 1.
Unlike Re;Birth, NIS actually localized the original game into English but now Idea Factory international is supposed to localize it for steam.
And unlike Re;Birth, which is basically a completely different game that required a new localization, Fairy Fencer F's steam version will be the exact same game as the PS3 version. Basically IF will almost certainly have to use NISA's localization for the steam version.
Adding to the complication is the working relationship between IF international and NISA (or at least their parent companies) and how the rights for the steam version will be handled.
I can imagine NISA trying to stop them from releasing it by messing with localization rights or something.
Didn't think of this, but rather than it be something intentionally malicious, I'm sure it's just a lot of paperwork and whatnot.

Dont know about that but they keep working active on Fairy Fencer F as you can see here https://steamdb.info/app/347830/subs/
But Rebirth 2 seems to be the higher priority right now. Guess they will start working full-time on it after the release of Rebirth 2.

It seems highly unlikely that IF would have announced a title they didn't have the rights to release. For all we know IF owns the rights to NISA's script anyway.

I wonder if Mugen Souls and Neptunia PP will come to Steam in the future.

I doubt that Neptunia PP will find its way on Steam. It was not rated for Steam on ESRB and iirc it has sold pretty bad in the West.

Plus it's published by NISA and thus far they haven't had much interest in Steam.

I doubt it sold too poorly. I mean, it IS a spin-off so it won't see main series numbers, and the LE I remember sold out on NISA's store in less than a week. Seems to be selling out often on their site, too.
Numbers are still low, but I'm sure not too bad as a spin-off that's not even an RPG.
fairy fencer f is published by them too and we're getting a steam port, it's just the fact that porting PP is a waste of timePlus it's published by NISA and thus far they haven't had much interest in Steam.
