honestly, who fucking cares. the game isn't unplayable, and people loved it at the time. is it too much to just play it again? they don't need to make the same game again.

It'd be nice, but I don't think we'll get any SMT announcements in the west before they're announced in Japan first.

"modern japanese games suck"

Now illegal in the UK, due to fascistic new pornography laws that were passed in secret this week.

Yes! Some adorable line about how focus testing would be more satisfied if Edward was dubbed with a smooth James Bond-style voice.

Okay, now you've got my attention. I've wanted to play an open world game in my town for ages.
