    Seems like it. It's definitely one of my most anticipated titles this year.

    Big enough that people like me who have never imported a game before, imported it. It's definitely a big one. I think it should sell quite well. I'll be buying a second copy at least. I know a couple others here are too.

    So in my obsession with this game, I've begun writing an FAQ. Gameplay centric, since I don't have the script knowledge to do the dialogue stuff.

    I'm up to Stage 4. Any helpful tidbits welcome. :P The character and gameplay segments took me the longest.


    This is gonna be thorough.

    ...Dibs on what? Some screenshots? Besides, we're not done with the dang thing.

    If you're waiting for a premium bundle announcement, I've got nothing to say. Because I'm typing. And the writing here is in text styles.

    Nah, I don't expect that. Screen exclusives, that's aces.

    I'm not too interested in a premium bundle to be honest. I already bought the game once, and at an import premium no less. :P


    Anyway, I like the font. I'll probably have the subs off, though.



    Still no word on the rest of the dub cast?

    During the Virtual Boy's brief life span I was not in a position to buy consoles. Or even games really.

    I was 12 or so? I forget, but it hindered my ability to make money.

    Saw this today about the alternate box art for Catherine (at least on Amazon). The only reason I can think there's an alt like that is because some people might be uncomfortable with the originals...?

    They're just alts for more content-sensitive retailers, according to Atlus staff.

    I would just assume that all copies would ship with the... more publicly appropriate covers, but Atlus being who they are, would make them reversible and have the originals on the other side.

    No, the "big face" covers are only for select stores who were uncomfortable with the idea of a tiny man climbing into a woman's pants/falling into a woman's cleavage.

    Since I've been running through P4 lately, I fired up the Catherine demo again to give myself a taste of what P5 might look like somewhere down the line.

    I just found out about the choosing your own text messages. I thought it was a set message, and wondered what the point of a good/bad meter was if you couldn't choose. Silly me. Wish I could read what I was sending...

    If the regular edition and deluxe edition were the same price, I'd still rather have the regular edition. With the regular edition, at least you can pretend that you want it because you're a big Atlus fan and not because you're a pervert.

    Exactly. Artbooks and Soundtracks are great pack ins. Leave the other crap for your online store so super [strike]creepy[/strike] fans can still get their swag.

    Kind of want the t-shirt, but it's too big for me and I like Vincent's RA♥E shirt more. But neither would be worth 20 bucks more to me even if they were smaller sizes anyway.
