Thatā€™s why Amaterasu still havenā€™t released patch yet :disappointed_relieved:

Exciting news ! I expected that they would be translating their later works at some point, but thank goodness we got confirmation from them ! Especially Rewrite+. Thatā€™s like the whole package. Itā€™ll also be nice to play Angel Beats! I guess. Iā€™ll just wait for the final beat though.

Did no one bother asking him about a release date for Harmonia ? Itā€™s spring and I still see nothing.

LOL, they threw Kud in the recycling bin. Someone ask him if theyā€™re doing Kud before I start making jokes about why theyā€™re not releasing it.

MFW

Howā€™d you get Babaā€™s Line address though? :o

As excited as I am for the official release, I can say Iā€™m a bit disappointed by the fact Harvest Festaā€™s translation wonā€™t be coming anytime soon, as well as (assuming) it will only be available in Rewrite+, therefore making the physical copy of HF near-useless. Of course, even if I had known this, I wouldā€™ve bought it anyways, but you get the point.

Either way, Iā€™m still glad itā€™s coming to the west. More Key fans, as well as easier ways to support Key, is a good thing. :masgrin:

恵恵恵, Glad they are announcing their games now just have to wait for their painstakingly long wait to get released.

Iā€™m very excited about the news release. Iā€™ll be patient and hope that things will progress smoothly when they arrive.

So I guess itā€™s time to bust out the skirt @Kanon

At the panel (I was the old guy in the Q&A line cosplaying Muv-Luv Alternative for anyone else who was there) I asked if they would consider doing a KSL Live World in N. America, and the response was that they were indeed working on it already.

Iā€™d love some more details on this. Was it a more vague ā€œWeā€™re considering itā€, or a definitive ā€œYes itā€™s comingā€?

Thanks for asking that, by the way! As someone whoā€™s really into concerts, news of an overseas KSL Live World excites me more than an official localization (prepares for backlash from the rest of the community)

I said in another post that eventually all post-clannad VN will come to west, but I didnā€™t expect it to be announced soon!

Imagine how much Rewrite+ is going to cost. .-.
I hope the anime is received well, and popular in the states. Or else Iā€™m doubtful that it will sell much.

Canā€™t wait for Angel Beats! though ! Iā€™ll do everything to get all the scenes with Yusa.

EDIT - Can someone ask Baba if thereā€™s a new Key project (new story) being planned at the moment ? (Other than Harmonia).

Thatā€™s not hard; there are like 2 of 'em.

Aspirety: It sounded more substantial than just a ā€œweā€™ll seeā€. More like they had already decided they want to do a KSL Live World here, and now theyā€™re working on how to make it happen.

Huh, thatā€™s actually a good point. While $50 is a fair price to us, many people would not think the sameā€¦ and that might affect how well it ends up selling :frowning:

I have a feeling it might go for 60$ since it comes with updated graphics/story and with Harvest Festa. Either that or they might price match it with the jp price.
