It is with much effort that our Lady Harvestasya toils hard and undertakes great pain daily to ensure that our glorious Clustania remains a beautiful paradise free of the pestilence of those hateful, revolting humans who seek naught but ruin for us. Not a moment passes without Her Grace's kind love bringing nourishment to our lives and our wonderful land.

What is worship without idolatry? And GUST didn't feel like releasing any AT figures besides those Luca/Cloche ones.

They've been phoning it in with Totori figs/nendos, so I don't understand why not. I'd kill a man for a good Harvy fig, or as someone previously suggested- a series of cast-off "purge" figs.

Depends on the system you're running the emulator on. Emulators can avoid the problems such as Raki's memory dumping attack and such, but for most people without a strong computer the game will likely run with a bit of lag or graphical errors or the like.

Sorry to ruin your dream, but:

βs don't function away from the range of their tower - that's why Mir sent Cocona rather than just getting shit done herself. I don't know about γs and Origins offhand but since their creation is essentially like the β's I'd assume they have the same issues.

Only 3rd gens can travel freely, and I think even then unless they're IPDs they can't use song magic at foreign towers.

Barcodes are barcodes - you can scan them on any camera. It's not clear exactly how they're integrated into the game yet - if they're on, say, train stations, yeah good luck getting that outside of Japan. But if it's like, scan any barcode and it becomes something in the game world, or scan barcodes that other players generated by doing something - that should work just fine.

I don't think we'll see it just because Vita sales are so crappy right now, and none of the smaller publishers in America right can / want to take risks. Localized publishing is also going to be up to the Japanese side of T-K for the first time, and they'll probably fuck it up somehow..

[Anonymous No.]

>>8493982

> I mean, didn't gust release all their games of recent years here, too?

Only for a very literal definition of "all their games." Ateliers Lise and Lina were never released in English. Although their development was outsourced, GUST still designed and produced them.

The Gramnad series (Viorate and Judie) got a PSP remake, which Sony refused to allow into the US under their "no ports" policy.

Barcodes are barcodes, yes. But does all the world use the same... number range, for example? Yes, I don't even know how barcode scanners work for games. What barcodes are you supposed to scan, after all? But I just... imagine there would be serious "compatibility" issues.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8495458

> number range

No. Nothing you're saying makes sense.

The only way it doesn't work is if the game design requires the barcodes to be physically distributed in a way that only works in Japan, or if the barcodes themselves contain Japanese text rather than some kind of IDs (which doesn't make it impossible, but does increase the translation burden - on the other hand, it's cheaper than running a real online network.)

I don't know whether this would be the same technology,
but I had this japanese iphone app once,
called "barcode kanojo";

The idea was that you scan some random barcode and a "virtual girl" is created on the basis of the code

(it wasn't possible to create a girl twice, because it was checked via internet connection.
for example there was only one kanojo which was created by scanning the iphone 4 barcode)

long story short.
I scanned many different objects, (most of them just european everyday stuff)
german sweets for example, and it worked fine with this japanese software.

soo I don't know,
I guess it should also be possible for Ciel to work
as long as they don't use some very special barcodes as some other anon guessed.

Mine would be a brick maze, with the tops of lilac bushes visible beyond the wall. There would be a central fountain-plaza, with nine paths leading off, each of which branch off immediately into a path perpendicular to the initial.
Instead of intersecting with any of the other paths, though, each branch goes on for miles, before it is revealed that the two paths off each nine gates are the same path - a total of nine circular paths (that appear to be straight when traveled on) encircling the center.
When the wall is climbed over, the entire thing falls down, crumbling into bricks and loose dirt, until it splashes into a cold, shallow, unlit pool that extends in all directions, vision obscured by the dim light and fog.

This setup mirrors my thoughts, going off in one direction and ending where I started, with no progress made. The continual returning to the dry fountain represent my search for meaning that is made futile by the "fountain of youth" (creativity, happiness) having "run dry" long ago. When everything collapses, it represents a paradigm shift, as I begin to think of everything in purely rational terms, and arrive at (the chill pool) the uncomfortable realization that my life is aimless wandering without a goal.

There needs to be a sewers level. No /jp/ user's mind is free of a sewer full of the dripping filth of perversion and debauchery. On the surface of the muddy sewage flowing through the complex tunnel network, one can catch the reflections of 2D girls in lewd poses, the putrid smell of semen and body odor fills the air in place of the wastewater odor. Used dakimakura covers of every 2D girl Anon has masturbated to and then forgotten about flow along the maze, gnawed on by dog-sized rats, and cockroaches larger than one's fist scutter around in search of new memories to feed on.

The guardian is modeled after the first girl Anonymous ever fell in love with, now lost in the depths of the ocean of filth that consumes his twisted mind. Not even Anon knows what has become of her, but once in a while, an enormous tentacle surges forward from the putrid waste and drags a new figure or dakimakura in an act of apparent jealousy.

Let's see. Eurofag here. Neptunia MKII release date is approaching, so I'm evaluating my options.
A)preorder from Amazon.it. Ships on 22nd of February,probably, arrives 1 day later. 45.98€(60.3$), no shipping expenses. European version so no limited at all, and European DLC(which tend to cost more).
B)preorder from NISA, 80,47$ with cheapest shipping, Limited edition, US version, so US DLC(probably a bit cheaper), probably ships around the 24th, arrives ???, might be blocked by customs, unless that's actually why there are shipping expenses at all.

Actually, it's mainly the customs thing that worries me. Anyone got any experience wth deliveries from NISA to Europe? As for delivery time, eh. It's not like it will be spoiled on /jp/, even tho I would probably play it now since I already platinum'd the first one.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8498325

I live in Germany; every package NISA sent me has gotten stopped by customs (except for Prinny 2, maybe because it was so small). Not sure how customs works in Italy, but here in Germany you have to go to the office, open the package to show them it is what it says it is, and sometimes show them a (second) receipt.

NISA doesn't lie on their invoices so you shouldn't have any problems if you bring your receipt and some cash to pay VAT with you.

The actual shipping doesn't take too long - a little less than two weeks is the worst I had.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8498358
How it works here is basically the same except the office would be about 1000km from where I am, so they'd send me a letter, I'd have to pay for that letter, for a 20% tax, and then wait another 2 weeks as I send them the letter back and they send the package to me with the slowest package possible. So normal edition it, I guess. Amazon.com is a bit simpler, since they charge you for import taxes so it doesn't get blocked, and they give the money back in the odd chance it doesn't get actually blocked.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8498325
I live in the Netherlands and never was a NISA parcel stopped by customs for me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8498457

In Germany it seems to depend entirely on whether the proper paperwork is out on the outside of the package, or the inside. Amazon and Play-Asia know what to put so they don't get stopped, usually. NISA seems more of a crapshoot based on what packaging they end up using.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8498325

UK here, Northern Ireland to be precise. I've ordered Neptunia, Rorona, Totori and AT3 from the NISA store and I've had zero issues regarding customs. The packages usually arrive around a week after the shipping notification. The EU 'limited edition' items tend to be rather bad in quality so paying a little extra (£10 at most) for the extras is worth it, if you like that kind of thing. Also remember that the EU PSN store is pretty slow regarding the DLC.

"We have no plans" is what they're going to say until they make an official announcement no matter what.

As sad as it is, GUST stuff is pretty much niche still (except for maybe Disgaea?) so publishers like NISA will be very careful with their decisions on which games to localize.

Even if they put the proper value's on the outside, If the value is higher than 22 euro's you are to pay sales tax over the goods if its from outside the EU. Thus you package gets halted.

Keep in mind that shipping costs also count towards the 22 euro limit and you will also have to pay sales tax over the shipping costs.

My guess is that amazon slips through allot without having to pay is because its mostly books and cd's, thus not interesting and worth the effort to inspect/tax most of the time.

Hey guys, I'm playing Qoga for the first time and I've got some questions. I've dropped 2 heart points into Finnel and now I've come upon the last heart point. I want to do Finnel's route at 3 HP but I also want to do Tyria's route. Should I make an extra save to go back later and do Tyria's route? I've heard something or other about NG+ letting you start in different phases...is this true? How does it decide HP and equipment/synth stuff? Also, for the 2/1 HP split, how far along in the CS do you have to be before it locks a route?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8506070
For NG+ you retain your level, money and DP, but everything else reverts to what you had the time of the checkpoint. I don't remember exactly when the checkpoints are, but I'd make a save just before the third heart point to be sure.

You get locked into a route when the Reyvateil confesses to you and you accept. I think it's level 8, but don't >quote me on that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8506105
Alright, thanks man. I was just a bit worried since in AT2 you get locked in at level 5 and I'm at level 6 with Finnel right now. Figured having 2 saves would be the safest thing but wanted to make sure I wasn't already too far with Finnel to get Tyria in the other save.

Why are you being so dense?

What I'm trying to say, in a nutshell:

Naruto is not fine because it does not integrate well into /jp/ culture and is not tolerated by the community. Gust is fine because it does integrate well into /jp/ culture and is tolerated by the majority of /jp/.

Also, please tell me why STG threads are allowed. Non-Touhou STG are /v/, and you might even argue that Touhou gameplay threads are /v/, since the only Touhou related thing that cluttered up /a/ were the imagedumps and non-gameplay related lore discussion.

The problem with vocaloid is not the it's /jp/ related or not, it's that vocaloid has a bigger fanbase than Touhou, And that fanbase is made of adolescent girls, animefans, cosplayers, retards, etc (outside japan). Vocaloid threads would attract that kind of people. And they could overtake /jp/ and replace Touhou.
Ar Tonelico's fanbase is small and inofensive so I don't see any problem if they have a couple threads. And they could be included with the VN crowd.

No, you've been given sound reasons as to why these threads are tolerated on /jp/ by multiple posters taking the time to reply to your shitposting in a calm, rational manner. Seems like you're the only here trying stir up some shit for no good reason.

I got my books off Amazon personally. I had no issue whatsoever.

I'm curious to know where you come up with such things. I'm the guy who originally started these threads and there was nothing like that. The only butthurt we had was from /jp/ users who couldn't get their own way with other threads. Sion in particular was quite pained at these threads, often attempting to make a Persona thread and/or bombing the topic with images because he couldn't get his own way.

Now I think you'll find that we can all accept that these games are /v/. However you're forgetting one important thing here.. look at the board name. Otaku culture. These niche video games are a part of that specific culture whether you like it or not. If you've never played these games to understood why then that's your problem. The janitor(s)/moderator(s) have been kind enough to leave our threads most of the time and we keep to ourselves. Surely one thread amongst 160 threads is not a big deal, especially with the increase in 'shitposting'.

/v/ is also too fast for any decent discussion and their standard user base leaves a lot to be desired, even by /jp/ standards. We just want to discuss being the little girl with our fellow /jp/ Anons, is that too much to ask? If you still have a problem with it then please minimize the thread, report it and move on, we aren't forcing you to be here.

The legitimacy of GUST threads on /jp/ is one that is purely academic, and only serves as a subject in meta-discussions of the board.

There is no real application for such arguments. THE SHIP HAS LONG SAILED.The best analogy would be white nationalism-- deportation of all non-white Americans and the re-establishment of America as a new white-only country. It's politically and economically unsound, not to mention logistically impossible.

If you're so concerned about the welfare of the board, just keep continuing to report real shitposting such as these (going back to the analogy, you're going to be a good citizen and reporting black crimes to the authorities):

I really don't understand why talking about Japanese videogames catering to a Japanese audience played on a Japanese console, that are either 'play virtual dates with fantasy singers' or 'be the little alchemist girl' wouldn't be /jp/ material by any definition ever.

Also, I don't see any rule violation in this thread, when /jp/ rules are so simple, it's actually one single rule:

/jp/ - Otaku Culture

1. All things otaku welcome!


Or how can someone be butthurt about a general thread that occupies 1/150th of /jp/ at most, since it's all kept in a single thread, that only gets remade once in a, say, 10 days, and is very easy to hide. I could see being mad at stupid threads being made all over the place, but even if this was cancer, it would be a pinky finger cancer with no metastasis ability.

Alas, I guess some people just have to find excuses to stay mad.

>>8517199
>I really don't understand why
You have already answered yourself. See
>/jp/ - Otaku Culture
>1. All things otaku welcome!

This is why. It's because General threads, no matter how infrequent or well-intentioned, will draw in pieces of shit like you. People who have no idea what /jp/ is about, or what it is like.

[Anonymous No.]

Both of you fucking morons.
Fucking enjoy the thread or leave, I don't even care if you think it belongs or not (even if it's fucking obvious it does, it's GUST for fucks sake), meido in the past determined it was allowed, deal with it. I don't care if you see these thread like those awful Idol threads, just be glad all of us pieces of shit are kept in a single thread and not spread on the whole board.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8517222
Rules as written is fucking retarded. There's no rule explicitly stating I can't post about my dickcheese here either. I could easily shoehorn that bullshit under "otaku culture".

[Anonymous No.]

>>8517222
So basically, you're saying "WAAAAH THE RULES ARE WRONG MY /JP/ ISN'T LIKE THIS GENERALS ARE CANCER".

Thing is, it isn't for you to decide what is to be discussed on the board. And it's obvious that this thread is both rule abiding, and well integrated with the community, and you're only being butthurt because you think it isn't in theme with your little 'secret club'.

Reality check: whoever could be interested in a Gust thread will most probably fit in with /jp/ with no problem at all. They only make games catering to the average /jp/ goer.

1. The community initially (and apparently still does) reject your off-topic threads.
2. The staff have deleted these threads plenty of times in the past. AoC even said he detested them.

I could make a thread about circumcision. It would get plenty of replies because people get defensive about it. I could even argue that it's otaku culture because sexuality and body image issues are important to otaku. If I stick "general" on there somewhere and post it every day for years, it doesn't automatically become okay. The community not wanting to argue with such an autistic and stubborn person does not mean that circumcision threads are allowed on /jp/.

Seriously, just fuck off to /v/. This is a Japanese role playing game and Japanese role playing games belong there. If you want to argue that it's "like a visual novel", then keep it in the VN general threads.

>GENERALS ARE CANCER

I see. You have shown me the light.

I must assume that you actually think General threads are in any way, shape, or form, "acceptable" since that quoted bit of text was from your transparent and pathetic attempts at belittling me.

I will reiterate. This is why these threads are awful and should be terminated. It's not because it's "against the rules" (though it is), nor is it because I mistakenly believe this doesn't belong in "my /jp/." It is because these threads draw in the vermin of the internet. The people who think that because they played some "obscure and weird Japanese" game that they suddenly belong.

They do not. You do not. Kindly remove yourself from the premises, or die.

He even played AT3 and liked it. He realized they belonged on /jp/ and allowed the threads to stay.

I guess the newest of the new and the most retarded of the retarded always appear in these kinds of threads during the weekends.

I mean, meta doesn't plague this thread during the weekdays.

I couldn't care less if GUST 'isn't /jp/-related', as long as there are no retards here and everyone is talking about GUST in a tolerable manner. Now I think I will just believe that those who complain about any thread on the board being not-related are new.

[Anonymous No.]

What's worse than a troll is being provoked into responding to one. For all your good intentions, guys, you'll accomplish nothing trying to fight with reason against an unreasonable person. It also contributes to the number of off-topic posts in the thread, rather than constructive discussion, which is precisely what they want.

Just stop replying, and if he makes it a habit in every future thread treat it just like another "luca is a slut" post; that is, chuckle and move on. It's not like the presence of the post is enough to destroy all discussion, and it certainly won't go that route if you start seriously replying and forcing discussion down that path.

>If they kick out Gust of /jp/ then Touhou should also move to /v/ amirite?

No, you piece of shit. You're absolutely fucking wrong.

/jp/ was created almost solely for the purpose of booting Touhou off of the other boards. You display an astonishing lack of knowledge regarding the history of our board. It's clear to all sapient beings that a thread such as this will only draw in trash and should be abolished.

Pointless. Just as pointless as trying to argue with someone who invades your thread to tell you that you shouldn't be here. As someone else has aleady said, reason or whatever doesn't matter, and the worst thing you can do is actually giving them attention.
