I ever thought anything like this would occur, simply because iM@S is so much more than a game series: it has over 100 music albums, a manga series, an anime series, ridiculous amounts of merchandise, radio shows, etc. I always thought Namdai would do it as an all-or-nothing kind of mentality (which means nothing), not some terrible spin-off.
I wonder how much it cost in royalties to release it in America? If they knew it was such a niche market sale that they had to jack the price up that high to make any money on it, that's an awful risky strategy. If that is the case, then I could at least justify the price. God knows I'd probably pay an absurd amount for a localized TitS2 if I had to (YOU HEAR ME XSEED????) Or maybe they're just trying to rip people off. Who knows? I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt, but here's an example: For Idolm@ster 2 on PS3 (in Japan), they release new songs (yes, just a single song) at approximately $20 USD (2,000 yen). |

This is incredibly surprising in many ways. Namco Bandai have pretty much laughed in the face of any fans requesting iDOLM@STER localisations, so this is a very surprising turn of events.

Also, the price.... I mean, sure, some people will buy it (hopefully not many if it's really that much). But... they're insane.

It amuses me that the only thing that could lure you out of the Editor Boards was the promise of ponies.
Amusement, but not surprise. |

I feel like maybe I need to watch an episode or something because I don't get the love.
Well yeah, it's hard to judge something if you haven't even seen it... I watched a few episodes a couple years ago to see what all the fuss is about. I don't know...it's definitely above-average for a kid's show, but it's still a kids show. It's well made, I like the visual style, and there are some catchy songs, but it's not exactly life-changing or anything. I don't quite understand how people can take it to such an extreme. But hey, who am I to judge. If it makes them happy, what does it matter? My thoughts exactly. |

I love Zelda... and Wind Waker is one of my favourites, but, for some reason, I just don't care about this at all. I think, perhaps, it's because the last new Zelda game I liked was Twilight Princess. Since then, the only ones I actually enjoyed were remakes. Maybe I'm just disheartened to see them focusing so much on remakes rather than good new games. I dunno. Not even sure that made sense.

The Rest / The Helper Monkey / Re: Pokemon - Eevee team

The earliest game you can do all the Eevee evolutions is Pearl, Diamond and Platinum.
Jolteon -> Thunder stone. (All games)
Vaporeon -> Water stone. (All games)
Flareon -> Fire stone. (All games)
Umbreon -> Raise happiness and level up at night. (All games from Gold/Silver onwards)
Espeon -> Raise happiness and level up during the day. (All games from Gold/Silver onwards)
Leafeon -> Level up beside Moss Rock. (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Black, White, Black 2, White 2)
Glaceon -> Level up beside Ice Rock. (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Black, White, Black 2, White 2)
Keep in mind, Leafeon and Glaceon cannot be obtained in HeartGold or SoulSilver due to the lack of the Moss or Ice rocks.
Black and White 2 are the best, simply because Eevees are catachable in the wild from a pretty early stage. HOWEVER, a couple of the evolution stones can't be picked up until a bit later in the game. That said, the same goes for most of the other games too.

I'll play this if the battles aren't slow as molasses. I hated that you couldn't fast forward through battle text in Pokemon Pearl and Diamond.
That's been fixed since Platinum. Battles are very fast in Black & White. Meh. Not enough for a pretty grind-heavy game. When I think of perfect speed + grind I think of FFX or DDS You can turn off battle animations. You will literally miss the battles if you blink. |

To my knowledge, they were honoring the registration codes for version 1.0. Basically, if you paid for and registered 1.0 you got an upgrade to the 2.0 client for free. Otherwise you'll have to buy the new game retail or digital. Hopefully they will have a grace period for those original registration codes. EDIT - It looks like they will still be honoring old codes after the launch of ARR. This article should answer most of your questions. Upcoming Schedule of Operation and Billing Procedures for FINAL FANTASY XIVShould hopefully be okay then. Guess we'll see. Thanks! |

Huh, ok. Interesting. So I picked up a retail copy. Any idea if I will ever actually be able to use it?
My bad if that sounded a tad overly direct, but yeah, I think you may be somewhat hosed dude. That being said, I SERIOUSLY doubt you'vre got a useless game. Probably just need to wait til XIV 2.0 comes out and maybe buy an expansion. I'd ask Tenchi or Parn for specifics, but this is Squeenix we're talking about...they'd be straight suicidal to do something like that. All good. I sent an email to Squeenix support a few hours ago, so hopefully they'll let me know what the story is. At the very least, it only cost me about $8, so it's not the end of the world. |
