- All they can reveal at this point about the new minigame is that it’s related to how Saya is a spy that’s after the school’s secret treasure and there’s something underground under the school.
- Saya is a spy and moves alone a lot and basically only interacts with the main character. Tennen boke tsundere.
- Text is 1.4 times as much as the original and voice data has increased by a lot, hence the need for 2 DVDs.
- 10 new tracks for the music.
- Some characters have new scenarios, especially Kudo and Haruka.
- All the new heroines have their own endings.
- Kanata’s scenario will come after the end of Haruka’s scenario so her attitude will be very different.
- Little Busters EX has been worked on since September last year.
- Schedule has been really tight, especially Na-Ga who had to work on both the new character and a sub character that became a main character.
- No plans for a console port of the game, because the mini game will be hard to do on the PS2.
- The guy that was originally supposed to write the scenario is really packed right now so Maeda started writing again.
- They’ve got a lot of outside help this time, especially with the mini games.
- The baseball part has also changed, they talk more now and more characters are added
- There will be ways for people that have already played the original to only play the newly added parts immediately.
- They’ve put in effort on the H scenes, up to three H scenes for some characters.
- H scenes are not written by Maeda but by Shirokiri, Maeda tried his hand with H scenes before in Tomoyo After but it didn’t work out at all.
- Kinniku sensation ending will be powered up
- Tonogawa is already working on Rewrite (current progress 5%)
- Still undecided if Rewrite will be 18+ or all ages, they’ll follow whatever the chairman decides
- Orito Shinji is looking for a disciple
- They haven’t decided what they’ll do for Key’s 10 year anniversary

I can't help you with the translation project.

Up to three H-scenes for each heroine... considering my past with Key's H-scenes. I don't know whether it's a good or bad thing.

[Skyfall]

^ I am more worried about what they might do with Mio's personality during the scene(s), considering her expression in one of those new images. I don't want another Ciel (Tsukihime) like personality "twist" during those

Well on the plus side at least Maeda's not writing them. That can only be a good thing.

Spoiler for Spoiler about Mio's Route:

That is not Mio but her "twin" Midori. I always wondered whether they would make a h-scene for her o not, looks like they did but, that one should happen only in Mio's bad ending >_<

Why not to use double-layer DVD ?

Not a complete techie, but wouldn't that need a special or more recent kind of DVD reader?

[Zenemis]

Dual-Layer DVDs are supported by most DVD players, but I believe cost is the main factor against it at the moment.

This isn't a real problem now if you only don't have an old DVD-drive bought 5-6 years ago.

Yep, agree that the main factor here is an overall cost, but I think, that the difference isn't so really big.

Um... It's not out until the 25th. So I doubt anyone has.

[Littm]

The previous date was 15.07.2008 (according to wiki, now the date is 25.07.2008). Delayed a bit...

[lightl]

alwyas has been the 25th just someone on wiki entered teh wrong date

To those who played the original LB, was there a folder with the sound files in them, like in previous Key games? I know that some companies use proprietary file formats to hold the games files, but AFAIK, Key at least leaves the sounds in a folder.............for further customization?
