There's actually 177 votes. But pretty much by definition you're only gonna get a certain group of people to actually vote on the company's forum. By putting up a Game Request section, this is pretty much the most kind of popularity that's going to show up there. /the point is the fans are showing they're willing to get the wor dout. And word of mouth is there best thing a game can get really.

Now that I've seen the YT page as well, I'm not so sure that's actually happening. Interest is gauged by the number of people actively interested in a product. If the interest is very numerous, then the potential sales are possible. If there are only a vocal minority clamoring for the game, as devoted as they might be, they're not going to cover the costs of the game, period.

I'll probably never use the pens though, I want to keep them in mint condition.

A little late here, but where are you pre-ordering from? I still can't find the pens. >w>

Thanks much in advance!

RamzaOwns · 2010-10-10, 18:30

I think the pens come with all preorders

Really? I hope so. AmiAmi doesn't say anything about the pens on their site. And I kinda really wanted to order from them.

Obviously in both the anime and PS3 game, they're so big that it's a miracle, leaving Bern to only stare speechlessly in jealousy.

Damn it! Bern has got big tits too. Don't take them away from me... I mean, from her!

I'd assume it's for words Ryukishi wants read a certain way, when you might ordinarily read the Kanji with a different pronunciation or some such thing...but it sucks, because if there was furigana for all the Kanji (like in the Manga adaptations) I'd actually be able to read it

zorahk · 2010-10-13, 16:51

It's just furigana for uncommon words. Most Japanese books have this because it is assumed that the reader may not know kanji for scientific, archaic, or obscure terms. In this case one of the words with furigana is mijin, or (atomic) particle

Digi-Dragon · 2010-10-13, 19:40

Furigana? You guys mean hiragana, right?

~Ayane~ · 2010-10-13, 19:57

no

keystrokes keystrokes

**Klashikari** · 2010-10-13, 19:59

No, these are indeed Furigana, although it is "basically" hiragana/katakana put above kanji. As zorahk explained already, they serve as a way for the reader to figure how to read certain terms, as Kanji can be read in various different ways.
For example, if you were to read the manga, you could see furiguna on every Ushiromiya member's names, which were put in order to indicate how you are supposed to read them.

well, if you read manga you could see furigana on every kanji, basically xD

Digi-Dragon · 2010-10-13, 20:35

...Oh dear, I just got used to hiragana. XD Sorry, I'm taking a Japanese class and we're only just learning katakana, so. Confused, don't mind me.

This depends on what kind of manga we are talking about. The more furigana, the younger the audience the product is intended for.
For example, a Shonen manga such as dragonball contains furigana nearly everywhere, whereas an adult oriented game such as ryu ga gotoku (yakuza) contains maybe one instances of furigana ever over the entire series. When words like ある、いる、お/ご、ありがとう etc are written instead as 有る、居る、御、and 有難う , you can tell the game/manga/book is aiming for a more difficult speech manner and a mature audience to go with it. Personally I prefer everything that can be written in kanji to be written in it, it makes reading so much faster; playing pokemon used to be a nightmare because it was all in kana, so slow to read, luckily black and white added kanji. I mean, it can get to a point where it's excessive and overly old fashioned, for example Im not advocating writing アメリカ as 亜米利加, ロシア as 露西亜, or 天麩羅 instead of the ubiquitous 天ぷら. A lot of it depends on formality, and in legal documents you may see 二 changed to 弐 and maybe even これ to 之. It all depends on your reader.
Btw klashikari, do you need any Japanese speaking staff still?

~Ayane~ · 2010-10-13, 21:11

well i was talking about Umineko mangas. They all have furigana for everything.
I dont really play games in japanese so i wouldnt know, but every manga i read so far has it so i figured it was the standard
