Solatorobo thread?
yiff in hell, furfag.

Little Tail Story localization when?
We just had a 400+ thread yesterday without any form of furfaggotry derailing, and it kept on topic about the game with some fanart postings.
I highly doubt we'll get lucky again.
First chain of business; I still haven't beaten the game. I just can't get behind playing as an animal. The characters aren't bad, it's just playing as an animal is fucking weird.
Second, here's some reading for you guys.

would this be a lewd game if it were on vita?
>>253675964
It's lewd in Japan.
>Red is in the bath
>Elh walks in on him
>Red thinks Elh is playing around, pulls off the towel
>Elh is actually a girl
>SLAP
Lewd only in Japan.
>>253675195
You gotta time it right. We had two threads like that and it was because they were made late at night and survived to the next day
>>253676343
>>253675195
Plus you can't have daily threads.
>mediocre game that sold solely on furry fanservice
What is the difference between this and something like criminal girls?
>every thread has 0 discussion of the game and is just a hardcore furry porn dump
When you learn how to discuss your game, you can have a thread.
>>253675789
>The characters aren't bad, it's just playing as an animal is fucking weird.
That's the stupidest thing I've ever fucking heard. What does it even matter what your player character is?
>>253676185
>>253676282
oh gosh really?
don't know anything about the game but they all look fully clothed in op's pic so i just assumed it probably wasn'tmaybe the ones with the tits should have given it away..
>>253675195
>that thread
>no furfaggotry
Did we read the same thread?
>>253676185
Do you actually see anything in the Japanese scene or no?
>>253676675
The bath scene is about the only lewd moment in the game. It's pretty tame.
>>253676717
Did the mods delete it? No? Then there wasn't furfaggotry. Furfaggotry is that shit like Morenatsu and Krystal spam. This is a legit game.
>>253676880
>if the mods didn't delete it then there was no furfaggotry
Nigga you high or something? I've seen 700 post "dragon vidya" threads that inside were just nothing but porn and yiff discussion.
There won't be a sequel for a long time will there? Unless the mobile game does that well.
Gameplay was piss easy but I liked the world building and all. How well did this do in japan
>>253676879
Here's English:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2QBT2lwRBw
Can't find the Japanese version. I just recall reading that it actually had more than a scream.
>>253677156
I mean I doubt they would actually show tits or something but it's japan so who knows.
>>253677123
I think it did okay. Just like the first game, it didn't sell very many units.
We won't get another game in a very, very long time, if at all.
>>253677439
>We won't get another game in a very, very long time, if at all.
Well that sucks. They just seem happy as hell to even be able to do it.
>>253677712
You can tell that the game has so much god damn love put into it. It's just a title that the developers really wanted to make, money be damned.
It was seriously one of the few games I regret not buying at launch, and I was seriously depressed by the end of the game. It was just so.. Good. I was always interested in it but I sorta forgot about it for a while. Picked up a used copy a few months back and holy hell. I have never felt these feels about a game since my childhood.
I'm slowly learning moon, I want to talk to the devs and give them a heartfelt thanks. I want to buy the artbooks, I want to see this series continue. It's one of the last few genuine games I've played in YEARS.
This series really needs an anime. It would probably help out a lot

>>253676590
Tail Concerto and Solatorobo were very "comfy" games for me. The aesthetics reminded me of Mega Man Legends and I loved the art style and architecture.
There's a decent amount of variety and there are no other games quite like them. I don't see them having mass appeal but that's not what they were trying to do.
As for them being furry. I don't really see anything offensive in them. The games are for kids so there isn't anything particularly racy in them unless you think stepping out of the shower with a towel wrapped around you is lewd.
>>253678832
I know right? All that art and world building stuck in one measly ds game. I want another game too.
>>253679429
Yeah I really enjoyed my time playing this, laying out under a tree in my yard that summer. Definitely real comfy times. I wasnt too bothered by the difficulty, I'm playing hard games all day. Gotta take a breather once in a while you know?
>>253677123
Last time I've checked (Long ago) they were doing something with going into space...
I wonder what it might be
>>253677439
It's a labour of love, really. It's not really a game that would appeal to big audience
>>253678408
They ran campaign on twitter and asked people for kemono fanart like 2-3 weeks ago. Also a mysterious poll about what kind of kemono people enjoyed.
>>253679429
Solatorobo is the most visually impressive DS game. Shame it came out when the system was slowly dying.
And the game had some 'sexy' undertones... I wouldn't really call this game totally for kids.
>>253680937
They are making a 'The Kemono Book', I read that a few months ago.
I should probably order it, see what the hell is in it. Besides I can partially translate moon.
Tail Concerto artbook due next year for anyone that missed the news
As well as The Kemono Book 3 and Solatorobon 3 next month
>>253680346
The difficulty wasn't really that great except 2 boss fights - Opera with her twoloversand the one from the downloadable missions.
>>253681039
I wanted to submit something but I've missed the deadline because I've literally found out about it 3 days before the deadline.
Isn't it a little too early to have another one of these? I feel like we went over everything we could for this game in the last couple threads. This is the third thread I've seen within the last like 4 days. Not that I don't like Solatorobo.
>>253674640
>>253674548
>I don't like this video game so I'll call those who do furfags because of the game's artwork without even knowing what the game is like
>>253675061
We should probably all bug the shit out of XSeed about it. Maybe Atlus and NIS America too.
>>253681306
>>253681323
Looks like I'll have 2 books to buy. Hopefully they won't be... THAT expensive.
Also now I'm curious anon, what did you want to submit or, what have you drawn?
>>253681323
w-w-w-wait... they're her lovers?! you're pulling my tail here right
>>253677123
CC2 claimed a sequel was in the works and that was 2 years ago.
>>253680937
CC2's last project that appeared to be in this series was called "Strelka Stories", but the project page for it stopped working and now redirects to the main site. I fear for the future.
http://www.cc2.co.jp/15th_project/
>>253681569
Haven't drawn anything actually. The deadline struck me so suddenly, I didn't even have time to think of something appropriate.
Passed the info to few of my buds but they had an art block so the opportunity passed.
>>253680937
>Going into space
Going to get Mega Man Trigger off of the moon?
>>253681039
They've already made The Kemono Book and Kemono Book 2. Currently they're working on/are going to release 3. Check out Amazon Japan or Tokyo Otaku Mode to find the first two.
>>253681718
Gren has a crush on Opera but that's pretty much it
>>253681718
I mean that's what I've gotten from that one unlockable image with Gren and Calua being in a rather awkward situation with Opera. In all honesty I could get around Opera keeping them as her lovers. Whether this is just CC2 fanservice or actually canon stuff, I have no idea.
>>253681730
Oh... that's why I couldn't find it anymore. Dammit. Early Space exploration kemono stuff would've been amazing
>>253676185
That scene is in the American version though. Is there something censored about it? Admittedly I don't remember him pulling off the towel, although it was done in such a way where it could be assumed. He still walked in and he still got slapped.
>>253682240
Who knows, they might still be working on it.
I hope they are.
>>253682225
Yeah, that's what I thought
scared that I was missing something there
>>253682240
I always saw that as just fan service, but ok
>>253681829
What have you drawn though? In general. Am curious to see.
>>253681323
There were downloadable missions? Aw man theyre probably gone forever now.
>>253682443
You can hack them in with an emulator.
>Been playing a lot of old JRPGs
>Feel like learning how to make games just to make one myself with some help.
>Kemonos will be party members alongside humans and other species.
>Can't draw worth shit though so my idea might not ever be realized.
I don't even know where to begin to be honest
>>253682443
they were included in the american/europ versions already, you probably didn't miss them unless you didn't do all the sidequests
I thought the most lewd thing in the game was the picture of Elh and Chocolat in the race suits.
>>253682443
>>253682556
The downloadable missions come with the American version of the game pre installed.
>>253682598
makin an rpg is mad hard yo, I feel your pain
was thinking of doing a side scroller with a sort of cave story vibe to it
>>253682598
what ideas for classes and stuff did you come up with?
maybe I can draw a thing
>>253677439
>We won't get another game in a very, very long time, if at all.
But anon, we already did.
But it's on mobile.
So yeah, instead of dead, LTB is in a vegetative state. Perhaps death would be a more merciful fate.
>>253682598
It's never too late to start working on your art, anonDo it for her
>>253682413
I hope so too.
>>253682424
Yeah, I kind of thought it was kind of a fan service too. I did like the calm and collected Gren and the carefree Calua dynamic though. Common anime stuff or not, their shenanigans were nice.
>>253682430
I've dropped my identity in the last thread at the end.
>>253682443
Oh yeah. They unlocked missions each week after release that further expanded the story. I suspect they were already included in the game, just you had to connect to Nintendo service to unlock them.
There was a very nice mission with Merville and Belgua there with their little romance.
>>253682598
I would like a Kemono game with a Tales of battle system.
>>253683030
I wasn't around yesterday for the last thread. Had a midnight shift at work so I never knew there was a thread.
>>253682956
I think CC2 keeps making artbooks to try and make more money so they can make another game. I think they're also trying to build popularity of the series any way they can. Bandai might throw them a bone if they get it to become more popular.
>>253682598
To be honest you may want to start with something smaller. RPG's are a lot of work and usually take years even with a decent sized competent team.
Also, JRPG's are even more niche now than they were in the "golden age." Back then it was one of the only ways to put a decent story in a game with the gameplay being secondary but these days they feel sluggish and random battles are a chore.
>>253682608
>>253682735
Ah, thats a relief. I guess I did see that content then.
The nintento wifi shutdown must have affected other games though, its a bummer.
>>253683030
You sure the missions arent in the west versions?
>>253682735
I really need to get around to playing the game again. I just about 100%'d the European version sans the DLC, but I don't have it in me to play the game all over again.
>>253683030
You didn't need to connect to the Nintendo service to access them. My internet is too shit to access that stuff and I still got to see the mission with Mervielle and Beluga. The missions come with the game.
>>253682598
Get a good sprite artist. I have few buddies that help me with that whenever I need sprites.Sprite stuff/3D stuff is very different from painting full pictures like I do.
>>253682608
>>253682735
Yuropoor version had them unlockable week by week. I remember NA version coming after the EU one so yeah, sounds about right.
>>253682778
Making RPGs is all about inventing a good battle system. I've tried making a few in my life and I can't do a dynamic and simplistic one to save my life.
Platformers are kind of exploited to hell and back. I actually put oneanthro2D sneaking game I've been working on for years now on the backburner because Gunpoint got released. Might pick it up in few montsh.
>>253682956
There's always hope.
>>253682978
4 AM is pretty late. Yet I'm still drawing.
>>253683217
>I think they're also trying to build popularity of the series any way they can. Bandai might throw them a bone if they get it to become more popular.
Let's face it, the series' commercial viability has only ever decreased. From Playstation to DS to mobile, it won't stop getting less budget from Bandai.
I wonder what were the budget amounts for each game. The way jap devs usually have lower budget needs, CC2 might get a successful console/PC release with crowdfunding.
>>253683718
I've always assumed CC2 works on the same kind of budget like Treasure. Make ho-hum licensed games until they have the money to do their own thing.
>>253682598
>tfw mayoineko's doujins almost never get translated
>>253684002
This.
Those naruto games probably make a ton of money every time so it's possible they just invest a bit of that towards the next story in the TC/Solat universe.
>>253683718
I feel like Solatorobo was probably more expensive to make than Tail Concerto.
As for Little Tail Story, you probably have it right on that, although, according to Wikipedia it was partly made to make the audience for the games bigger.
>Matsuyama explained that he wanted the game to be a "casual" and "friendly" experience, and developed the title for smartphones to expand the series to a larger audience, both male and female
>developed the title for smartphones to expand the series to a larger audience
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Tail_Story
>>253684002
NARUTOOOOO!!!!!!!
is probably what gives them their money.
>>253683139
Yeah then not doing it again. This board really hates people that try to whore themselves out too much. I've learnt my lesson in 2008.
>>253683217
Seems to be the case. I dunno really if Bandai will give them any cash given how reluctant they are at throwing cash on stuff like localizing Digimon games.
>>253683270
Well I've seen one guy-made RPGs. The problem is QA and good system.
>>253683291
They are in the western version
>>253683510
I think there's a difference in EU and US version then. I had to log into Nintendo WiFi to get the missions unlocked
>>253683660
This has nothing to do with the current topic but I've meant to respond to you in the last few threads and I've been asleep every time you posted and I'd just like to say hello. You probably don't remember, but years and years and years ago in the original drawthreads from 2007-2008 before they turned to garbage you drew a lot of stupid Freya shit that I requested and I've always appreciated that. I just looked at your new stuff and you've really improved a lot since then! Can't believe the shit about Basketgardevoir shit, though, christ.
>>253684360
>I dunno really if Bandai will give them any cash given how reluctant they are at throwing cash on stuff like localizing Digimon games
And yet somehow, for some reason, they brought Project x Zone to the west.
>>253684647
I guess it had a better chance of selling to them. How popular is Digimon now anyway?
>>253684360
do they even need bandai anymore? maybe they should try self publishing their shit
>>253685426
Pretty sure Namco Bandai owns Solatorobo as a property. All of the supplemental material are copyright NBGI. Even the goddamn coasters have it.
>>253684360
The hardest part of making an RPG is to make the combat system different.
>>253684205
Given the amount of art, marketing etc.? Damn right.
>>253684340
My friend that is really into Shonen says the games are really good. I'll take his word for it. He's pretty good at that.
>>253684643
Thanks! I always strived for improvement. And I STILL have those images somewhere on my hard drives.
The basket shit is even deeper than you think. I'd rather not talk about it because there is a bit of people's personal lives involved in that.
>>253684647
I have no idea what they're doing then.
>>253685565
i really wanna expand on earthbound/mother's battle system. very unique and I feel it has potential
>Giant robots.
>Talking animals that walk upright and have boobs.
Why must i be so easily suckered into shit like this, i have no idea what the game even plays like and i'm going to emulate it when i get home.
Fuck my shit taste.
>>253685418
It isn't except for people that were REALLY into Seasons 1&3. Which pretty much eliminates 90% of the modern audience. I've gotten Digimon Dusk few years ago and I liked it but I think they needlessly complicated it. I would really want a game like Digimon World 1 or 3.
>>253685426
Self-publishing is harder than you think.
>>253685558
I really hope that's not the case
>>253685565
Yeah that. We're kind of running out on that. Lately I'm just thinking wouldn't just going into tactical RPGs be a wiser idea for a battle system. You can do so much more with it... but at the same time AI systems scare me.
>>253685905
There was this one Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret RPG that let me fight chairs as my first oponents.
Somehow I felt like it was a part of a bigger design
>>253686145
You don't have shit taste anon.
Its a great game, trust us. One of the best in fact. Gameplay is a little weird (you pick stuff up and throw them) but its more fun than it sounds. It has all the good stuff you get from action RPGs without most of the bad stuff.
>>253686145
More like great taste.
Don't expect it to be very challenging as far as the gameplay goes. Prettymuch throwing simulator combat wise. It really is the art and world that carries it.
>>253686145
Mechs are love, mechs are life.
>>253686652
And story, characters, and music.
>>253684360
Looked through the archives and found it.
Looks bretty gud if I say so myself.
>>253686313
>Self-publishing on consoles is harder than you think.
Fixed. For PC, it gets easier by the day.
>>253686875
Not if you want to release it physically for the PC and have it sold in stores.
A dev published a Solatorobo postmortem.
http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/135064/postmortem_cyberconnect_2s_.php
>>253687102
>release it physically
That's part of the problem.
>>253686313
Just a thought, but I would love to see something along the lines of Mother 3 in the battle system. Something like timed hits, combos, etc.
>>253686741
Of course those too. ill try gushing a little harder next time
>>253687361
Physical releases are the best anon. In my opinion. You get to keep a physical object with all the data forever and will be able to carry it and travel around with it wherever you go. It also means devs can't take the game away due to DRM restrictions.
I like physical releases, personally, though I'll admit digital has its advantages, and if you do things right to a large extent you can do what I just described. I want to own my games physically though, so I even buy PC games physically.Plus I have shit internet
>>253686145
The game is pretty rich as fuck. The gameplay is easy. I keep coming back to it because I just like to engulf myself in that colourful world.
>>253686797
If you're talking about the Steel Set piece, yes that's me. And thanks, spent a fair time on it.
>>253686875
Yes and no. Japanese market is weird as fuck and I've tried to approach few people about it... they do their stuff in a weird manner. So self-publishing for a Japanese dev might be a nightmare.
>>253687225
Interesting read, thanks
Last night's thread got me wondering. Would it be possible to do a hi-res texture pack for the backgrounds? Assuming somebody's willing to scan their artbooks, anyway. They're all there. Getting stable DS emulation at hi-res is another issue entirely, but this would look breathtaking if it's possible.
>>253687573
Thank you anon. I was worried. Its deserving of all the love.
>>253687225
>tfw the shitty ds hardware held this game back
why did they make this for the ds anyway? why not ps3, considering cc2 debuted on sony consoles
>>253687769
Fair enough. My beef is having the physical copy being the primary market, as it's a huge contributor to bloated game prices.
I think having digital copy being the main seller, with physical copies as limited editions, would work best for all involved.
>>253687995
>chocolat art.png
are these older designs for Chocolat Gelato? They really changed her up
>>253688116
I take it you're not familiar with the usual publisher model.
Most of the time, the publisher both owns the rights to the franchise and controls the budget. The devs are twice over in their thrall. It's no wonder self-publishing and crowdfunding have increased so much on PC.
It took CC2 literally years of picthes and concept art to get Bandai to greenlight Solatorobo, and even then it was made for a handheld, since they have lower budgets.
>>253687995
holy shit
our chocolat's all grown up now ;w;
>>253688749
Yes, the first LTB Archives volume has a bunch of proto sketches for the main cast (The full Chocolat page from that pictured here). The third volume goes to ridiculous levels of prototypes where they barely resemble the final game, too.
>>253687550
I really like Mother 3 system, letting you win the battles even though your health is going down. Timed hits, combos etc. are all icing on the delicious Mother cake.
>>253687573
Fucking Harpoon fishing was the best.
>>253687769
The physical medium has a charm to it. Quite frankly I've cut down on buying physical medium unless it can be activated on Steam, then I'll buy it in a heartbeat since it's cheaper than on Steam.
The biggest problem I have with physical medium nowadays is the lack of good manuals and box goodies that I've grown attached to during the 90s
>>253687914
I think it would be easier to just remake the game
>>253688332
Game price bloat comes from many sources. Physical copies are the least contributing factor, but I see your point.
Also the last thing you've mentioning - Brian Fargo is doing that with Wasteland 2. I think it's actually a very smart idea given he can make enough copies without them lying around unbought.
>>253688963
Man there were a lot of pages for Chocolat specifically in the first volume. Few characters in the book had as many pages as her.
>>253688963
hot damn
>>253689032
Physical distribution accounts for a large chunk of the cost.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2010/02/anatomy-of-a-60-dollar-video-game.html
>>253688963
I have some pics of the artbook.
>>253689870
That's cost only to the publisher, not to us. Games released digitally still cost the full $60 unless they go on sale.
If anything the prices will become worse once everything does go digital because then they'll have monopolized their own product. I'm not looking forward to the day that happens. Especially with how goddamn stingy Nintendo is with their digital pricing.
>>253688963
>>253689906
Oh I want this so bad, Cant be goin out buying artbooks all will-nilly I dont think. If only I could get a hold of some comprehensive scans
>>253689906
So do I.That's my book
>>253687995
>>253688963
I get some Molly from Oban Star Racers vibe from this. It's a good vibe.
>>253689870
Interesting thing. Also Jesus Christ, platform royalty is $7? Insane. No wonder games on PC cost $10 less.
>>253689906

The books not being in order from first to seventh child is hurting my OCD.
>>253690229
Hnnng. Do you remember what you payed for those?
>>253690039
>That's cost only to the publisher, not to us.
That graph says the usual $60 tag. That's the cost to us alright.
>Games released digitally still cost the full $60 unless they go on sale.
That's becoming ever more the exeption rather than the norm. Cue the starting prices on Steam. Digital distribution is driving the consumer price down, it's just not intantly. There'll always be proverbial jews who try to gouge $60 for a digital release, unfortunately.
>If anything the prices will become worse once everything does go digital because then they'll have monopolized their own product. I'm not looking forward to the day that happens. Especially with how goddamn stingy Nintendo is with their digital pricing.
The sad thing is, for consoles, digital-only indeed wouldn't do much because even their digital markets are monopolies already. It's not like you can buy from a different digital store if you don't liek XBLA's prices, for example. The PC has plenty of competing stores.
>>253690414
>>253690991
why dahak is flo in the middle of the page?
>>253690636
They are in order, though. That's how they were released. Red The Third of Seven Children is Volume 1, Carmine is Volume 2, etc.
>>253690639
A lot. I got the LTB Archive books when they first came out -- long before CC2 put them on Amazon -- so I had to deal with really, really expensive special request services through Shopping Mall Japan. The first two books cost me about $150 each while Starlight (Which was the special package with the soundtrack and extra books) was about $200. The Fan Books were about $150 in one fell swoop. Then the Japanese guide I got way back in 2011 for like $30.
And I can't wait for Solatorobon 3 and Tail Concerto's Archive to come out so I can spend even more money. I thought I was done spending money on the series. Silly me.
>>253691302
I actually have no idea.
>>253691690
i'm thinking of playing tail concerto
is it like solatorobo? i want to emulate it
controller or keyboard?
>>253692249
Speaking as someone who got it way before Solatorobo was ever announced, it's cute, but incredibly boring. It's like Solatorobo-lite. Doesn't have anywhere near the amount of story, lore, or character development Solatorobo has. Solatorobo was quite honestly exactly what I wanted TC to be in the first place.
If nothing else, it's a very short game. It's best to play it with a controller, as are most PSX games.
>>253692494
should i play it before or after i finish sola?
>>253691398
holee jesus thats alot of monies. ok maybe I should strike the idea of buying any
>>253692821
You can do it either way. You might appreciate Solatorobo more if you're familiar with Tail Concerto's main characters, who make several cameos throughout the game, or you might appreciate Tail Concerto more if you play Solatorobo first and want to know the series' roots. It's no big loss if you don't play TC, though. Solatorobo is very much a standalone game and you don't miss out on any necessary story details if you skip it.
I'd honestly recommend TC if it weren't so damn slow. That's what really kills the game.
Strelka Stories when?
>>253692928
Bear in mind the prices are much, much better now that CC2 puts their stuff on Amazon.co.jp, who ships books internationally, so you're literally paying their retail price plus shipping.
www.amazon.co.jp/LITTLE-BRONX-ARCHIVES?Solatorobo-????CODA?????????--BlueSky-/dp/B00BP886ZW/ref=la_B00IUISLO6_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1405653759&sr=1-1
So, for example, LTB 1 costs about $50 on Amazon.co.jp. Add in shipping to the US and it comes to about $80 (They do combine shipping and I highly recommend buying the books together if you can). Already you're paying half of what I paid to get LTB Archives 1 back in 2012, even less if you combine shipping on everything.
Only thing to keep in mind, though, if you plan on getting the Fan Books (The eight books on the left) is that the Rouge, Nero, and Blanck Fan Book volumes are now out of print and it seems unlikely that they'll get another printing.
>>253693128
so it plays like a slower easier solatorobo?
>>253693381
never. it's all naruto and mobile all the time now. cc2's a business, so they gotta go with what makes the dough. do they even make a good profit off all the merch and books and stuff? I imagine there must be if they keep doing it.
>>253693726
Oh no why did you have to tell me. Now im tempted...

Oh, he says he has no idea what it is. Alright then.
>>253693381
Probably never.
>>253693821
Kind of sort of. You know the black cat gang kittens who are hidden around the game and have those photograph pieces? That's mainly what you do in Tail Concerto, except instead of throwing shit everywhere you have a gun that shoots bubbles which entraps them, kind of like Bubble Bobble.
Like I said, it's the kind of game I'd call cute, but I'm glad they went in the direction they did with Solatorobo.
>>253691398
>>253692928
>The first two books cost me about $150 each
Really? Wow. If you buy them on Amazon Japan they cost $50 plus $30 shipping (to the US) and that's it. $80 each.
>>253694503
that sounds awesome, sort of

Anyone here have links to older threads?
>>253694503
The world in Solatorobo is truly amazing. They even contradicted TC to make the world.
>>253694362
>Sites a bit too moon for me tho id say is there an easier way to navigate it?
Look to the top right of the page and you'll see a "Would you like to see this page in English? Click here" link. It makes the entire site layout English. You won't be able to use the same Amazon account you have in your home country but it's very easy to make a new one for co.jp.
>>253693381
The project page for it vanished. Anyone who clicks the link to their 15th project (Strelka Stories) gets redirected to the main site. Supposedly they hinted that something was coming in 2013, but nothing happened save for Little Tail Story.

As I said, I got my books way, way before CC2 put them on Amazon. When they were originally made they were only available on CC2's website and they did not ship internationally. You were forced to get it through a Japanese dealer who could do requests, and there are always hefty fees for that.
I don't regret it one bit, though. It was nice knowing for a time I was probably the only fan in the United States who had them, but I'm glad they're more readily available now for other fans.
Is it possible to get the LTS main theme song? Sounds nice.
>>253694362
Amazon Japan has an English version. Try searching the site on Google and search for "In English" or something.
>>253693726
>if you plan on getting the Fan Books they are out of print now
Interesting. They're still available for purchase on Amazon Japan now. They aren't completely out of sight.

There used to be oceans right below the TC islands. In Solatorobo they said the islands are above the clouds tohide the old Earthand therefore cannot have oceans right below them.

To True Return (due to how complex and serious it is)
>>253698636
Some of the Perfect Soundtrack has made it to Youtube, just not all of it. Let me see if I can find the channel that has some of the tracks not on the OST sampler that came with the game...

Do you happen to have a link to Mau -The Bower- in Perfect Soundtrack form?
>>253699556
It has the luxury of having a small group of dedicated fans along with having few people who know anything about the game (which is partly a bad thing, but it also means no one bothers coming in to destroy the thread)
>>253699373
Parts of the perfect soundtrack are on Youtube. Its a random obscure YOutube channel. Currently searching for it, hold on.

Guys, I still want to upload the entire thing to youtube or something. How do I do this?
>>253700331
Render videos at 640x480 resolution at 320kbps audio. For every single song.
>>253699707
That sounds so wonderful.
Do you or anyone else know how much the import tax is importing music CDs like the Perfect Soundtrack? And how does paying import tax work?
>>253700084
I really want to download it but I'd rather wait and buy the soundtrack on disc. I appreciate it though.
>>253700331
Can't you just go into Windows Movie Maker or something and put the a song in it and a picture of the cover of the soundtrack on there, turn it into a video, and then upload it? You could do that for each of the songs.

Any easy way to do that. I'm not used to handling videos. Also I only have mp3s of the PST.
And there are a lot of songs (86 I think). Uploading every single one of them is hard, especially considering the titles are in Japanese, making the process confusing.
>>253700636
You can get the soundtrack one of two ways:
By itself (About $25 US plus $30-ish shipping so around $55 or so)...
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/switch-language/product/B00BP82YMS/ref=dp_change_lang?ie=UTF8&language=en_JP
Or in the Starlet pack (About $90 with $30 shipping putting it at about $120):
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/switch-language/product/B00D15LCKI/ref=dp_change_lang?ie=UTF8&language=en_JP
The Starlet pack has the third LTB Archives volume, the soundtrack in question, as well as a few other exclusive books, like a 100 page book of all the storyboards from the intro, a book of the 4komas, and a manga of that Astro Boy esque character. Not a bad deal if you were thinking about starting a collection.
Also don't ever render videos meant for good audio quality in WMM. It just can't.
>>253701042
>Any easy way to do that.
Meant to be a question.
I wish there's a script that inserts music in a folder into a premade video. Then another one to upload them to youtube. I'm so lazy lol.
>>253701042
Oh that song brings me back to the old rpg days. Todays movie soundrack crap can rot for all I care.
The mediafire link above has english titles I think btw
>>253692249
I emulated it with a 360 controller. It is harder than Solatorobo (mainly due to awkward controls). There is a bigger focus on boss fights. Unfortunately it is a much shorter game. You'll still enjoy it.
>>253701765
>The mediafire link above has english titles I think btw
It does. I'm the one who re-tagged the soundtrack in English.
>>253701042
Didn't Depend On Me come with the OST Sample disc that came with the game on release?
>>253701465
Oh okay. I'll remember that video wise. Don't want to lose audio quality on music.
And thanks for the info on the price of the Starlet pack. I was never fully aware.
But what I mean is, what is the price of import tax? I mean the cost customs puts on imported goods. Books don't have an import tax, but I thought music did.
>>253701858
Do you live in the States? I wasn't charged any sort of tax besides shipping fees for anything I bought from Amazon.co.jp.
>>253701969
I live in the United States, yes.
Do you? If so, that's comforting.
>>253702123
Yeah, you don't need to worry then. My only gripe is that the shipping is really expensive but they ship absurdly fast. Like, you'll order it and get it no more than three days later.
>>253701042

It's actually not from a doujin; it's from one of the Solatorobo Fan Books, a series that CC2 themselves published. Carmine is the specific volume that picture is from.

I'd say that the piece of media I've had access to that had the most similarity to this game is Gurren Lagann. Only with more furries and less ridiculousness.
That said, I've not watched much Gundam (08th MS Team is the only one I've really watched) and I've never read Redwall.
But it really is very similar to Gurren Lagann.

People want the game and its getting old. New is harder and harder to find I assume.
Ebay might have cheaper new prices. There are a few game shops online I'm sure. Do a little searching. Buy used if you have to. New if you must. The game really is worth it, trust us.
I could write an essay on it.
>>253709065
Chocolat for sure, shes the brains of the operation. Chocolat is the only thing that keeps Reds hunting business going. She flies the ship and organizes everything.
Not to mention Elh is like 300 years old that shits weird.
>>253710553
She's 300 years old but she canfinally age after the endand she still looks young. She's also not as...outward as Chocolat. Elh is more quiet and reserved. Plus Elh can read ancient language to some degree.
>>253710017

is there any sort of region locking for the game?
since I'm from burgerland will it work if I get it from say Europe? Never had to do anything like this before so I'm not sure.
>>253711059
There's no region protection but the American version has all the DLC pre-loaded on all cartridges. If whoever owned the European copy didn't download the content you're shit out of luck since WFC is gone.

Outward is bestward. I'd sure get alot more done with a gal like that around.
>>253711059
No region lock on the DS as far as I know

That's not true. The DSi and 3DS play all DS games regardless of region. The 3DS games themselves are region protected.

Right. I forgot Solatorobo even had DSi features. I'm pretty sure I recall people saying that they've imported their copy and it worked fine.
Still, I think it's best to get an American copy just to be sure you get the DLC.
