I'm on it.

Figured that was the most important piece of info here. Quote:

In order to give a sense from the beginning that the scope of the game has gotten much bigger, right from the title you will have a choice to make (the end of the sentence is a bit odd, but I think the choice might be about who you hug or something to that effect). Quote:
The last line covers credits for art, scenario design, etc. Since it contains names I'm not even bothering with it.

So for those who don't care about the line-by line breakdown here's the nitty gritty:
Daisy - She's a transfer student from the Realm of Gods, likes Sia a lot and is the lone member of Verbena's Broadcast Club. Apparently part of her story will be getting everyone else likewise involved in the club as well. Ruri=Matsuri - She's a member of Sia's personal guard from the Realm of Gods and prefers wearing the boys' uniform over the girls' one. Outwardly she seems very cold, but she's actually got a pleasant and serene personality. She also may not be much for acting girly either. Mystery Girl - Not much about her, but she's got some kind of secret that deals with the actual creation of the Realm of Gods. Also, she wears Japanese clothes. Mayumi, Kareha and Sakura are all confirmed to have routes, but Sakura may not even show up in the game unless you make certain decisions. Kaede, Sia, Nerine, Asa and Primula will all have their scenarios extended with new content. Tsubomi and Nadesiko's availability in the game is 禁足事功です. (Classified Information. ) So we go from 5 girls to 11 (possibly 13?) and apparently there's going to be a lot more to the story this time around. I'm down for that. Now bring on the screenshots and character art!

Ah, thanks. Your translation is very much appreciated, but I think you got one small part wrong.
和服 is Japanese clothing, not Western. I've managed to google up some scans. Credits: http://whirlshun.blog42.fc2.com/blog-entry-100.html Looks like there will be new CGs for the original cast as well, and Ruri doesn't really look like Rin despite what the article said. |

Gah! Thanks for the correction, I went back and fixed it. Shoulda taken a second to actually read the kanji. Western clothing is "youfuku".
Yeah, not getting how Ruri "looks like Rin" but that's how I read the line. Also not getting the "doesn't wear the girls' uniform often" vibe either considering she's wearing it in the spread there. But Good God, Sakura... If she's anything like she was in Really? Really! then Asa might just have some competition for being my #1 in the game.

Nope, Nerine as "Rin-chan" is written in Katakana and the "Rin" mentioned above is clearly in Kanji so it's gotta be good ol' Tsucchi.
Hmm...I did a bit of looking and Tsucchi's "Rin" is a different Kanji from the one in the text above. I think I'd better look at that line again. It was giving me some trouble the first time around so I may very well not have gotten it right. Edit: Okay, I think I've got the line right this time. The reason it threw me off was because the Kanji are very similar. Tsuchimi Rin's "Rin" is 稟. The "Rin" above is 凛, which means "cold". Given the context of the line, I gather it's supposed to mean "ice". So really the line is saying that Ruri outwardly seems to have an icy personality but is actually very nice and serene. I'll edit the translation above to reflect this. Makes a helluva lot more sense, but I call foul on the Japanese writer for using a Kanji so similar to Rin's name.

What I find most interesting about it is that the new scenarios being added to the game are being written by a new scenario writer. This game is also going to be rather massive, what with at least 4 full new paths, plus the PS2 paths, plus possibly some bonus paths. That's why they're saying the game's taken so long.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing/hearing more. |

I really hope JAST somehow magically makes an announcement that they have licensed this at the next con. That would be amazing! But yeah, really doubt that would ever happen. (after KimiNozo, this would be the game I want to be licensed the most) |

Thanks for the translation, DJLowrider.
Looking forward to the 'extended paths'. Still have to play Really? Really! so I'm not sure what Sakura is like, and the lack of info on the other new girls is frustrating. Actually, not having the game is frustrating. Anyone got a time machine I can borrow? I'll be watching their site like a hawk |

Anyone else care to start speculating about the content of the extended routes? Personally, I can't help but wonder if we get to see:
Spoiler for Pure speculation on the extended route content:
Also, yeah, huge game is going to be HUEG. Maybe not CLANNAD-level huge, but the scope has definitely increased dramatically from the original. Though when you think about it, the franchise as a whole has really grown far and beyond what was presented in the original through the manga, anime, drama CDs and two "After Story" games. Not to mention that most of the voice cast are now significant voice acting stars in their own rights (though Itoh Miki was pretty much a star well before this anyway). On the voice acting note, would it be too much to hope that Rin gets a voice in this game like he did in RR? It doesn't have to be Tomokazu Sugita (and for that matter I doubt he'd do it anyway) but I don't think it makes sense to leave him as the only unvoiced character after giving him a voice in RR.

Too right mate!! What the hell are they doing not ever giving her a route but teasing us with nude scenes only of her in Really Really instead?
Sure, she may be 38 or over but gosh darn it she's still so cute she deserves her own route (and "scenes")!! To Hear 2 is doing it with their resident cute-young-mommy (who's well into her 40's by the look of it) so why don't Navel do it with their MILF if they bother to make her so cute in the first place. Sorry, the rantings of an old Ama-oneechan fan here.

I remember them cooking up some excuse in their diary entry about how Shuffle is a warm, happy world where Asa's father is still alive and they can't just kill him off to create a route for Ama.
Contradicting statements considering they killed off Rin's parents and Kaede's mother in an accident. Only way for a Ama route is if they changed her VA, but I'm not sure if anyone could fill in YURIA's saccharine sweet voice. |

Just about everyone here has a hierarchy of their preference of the girls. For the original game, mine goes like this:
Asa > Nerine/Primula > Kaede > Sia Though as I alluded to earlier, Sakura's introduction in RR really shook things up for me. Those of you who haven't played RR yet I urge you to try and check it out before Essence+ is upon us. She's quite a fun and interesting addition to the cast. RR is also a very fun game to play, being very Phoenix Wright-esque right down to Rin's version of "OBJECTION!". And of course there's... Spoiler for Major spoilers for Really? Really!:
