Mm, Sakura did kill the tree at the end of DC, and in the game timeline, it never came back after that...and it IS in bloom now...
IIRC I think in DCSS, whether that's part of the timeline or not, Sakura did make a joke (or the show itself did, or something like that) about how she's slighty more grown up now, so I do think that with the tree dead, she should've grown up. Besides, I don't see why Sakura would wish to be young still. Questions, questions... And yeah, yeah, it's 53 years, you nitpicky person, you.

And well, what I mean by "dead" is that it no longer has any magic power whatsoever, and it'd take a new "magic infusion" to revive it. A tree that doesn't bloom for 53 years would otherwise die and disappear, wouldn't it? I have to think that there's a bit of magic there, keeping it alive... just like it may have kept Sakura young... As you said, "questions, questions..." |

Maybe, I guess we'd find out soon enough, too.
The new cast seem to be all "new people" though...maybe Nanaka looks just like Kotori, Yume looks just like Nemu, Maika looks just like Mako and so on (actually that's it)...but they all seem to be "themselves" personality wise despite the connections (like Minatsu hating bananas ^^; ), and that's a good thing. So I don't think the people from the last generation will overshadow the new cast even if they do end up having lots of influence in the storyline, since the new cast shines by itself. I liked Koko too. She seems to be a pretty sweet, innocent airhead, certainly she'll have lots of comedy value. Nanaka is actually one of (if not -the-) my favourite stereotypes in all of bishoujo gaming - I think I might end up liking her even more than Kotori (I liked Natsuiro no Sunadokei's Mana, Ever17's Sara, etc.). And Yume's funny and...what would you say, "lolicute"? . Otome? I think there's lots more to her than what we've seen...I still can't forget that 4koma ^^;. Oh and regarding Anzu, she's a little...scary. Yeah...definitely the new characters are just as good and interesting as the originals, something I was slighty concerned about - whether they'd keep the quality that high character wise.

To transcribe the letter in the promo movie...
Onii-chan he nandaka irona koto ga atta ne. Nagaiyouna Igaiyouna, Ima kangaeru to chotto fukuzatsuna kimochi. Demo kore dake wa machigainai. Minna to deaete totemo tanoshikatta. ....ehehe, nanka chotto hazukashiiya. Arigatou. Mou Amerika ni ikanakya.... Sayonara dane, onii-chan. --zutto zutto sukiddattayo Mou isshou ni irenaku nachau kedo, kitto onii-chan nara daijoubu dayone. Nemu-chan to shiawase ni natte ne. Yakusoku da yo. Boku zettai mata kaette kuru yo. Sono toki mo aikawarazu, yasahii onii-chan de ite ne. Sakura Translation(to the best of my ability): To Onii-chan(Junichi) It seems alot has happened, hasn't it It seems so long yet so short, I feel complicated while thinking about them. But there is one thing for sure. Meeting everyone was fun and worth it. ...ehehe, I kinda feel embarrassed. Thank you. I must go to America now... I guess this is goodbye, onii-chan. --I've always always liked you. Even if we're not together, I know that it will be alright because it's you. Be happy with Nemu-chan. Promise me. I will return again. At that time, be the kind onii-chan that's always there. Sakura I think that's accurate. Perhaps some kanji discrepancies, but it's all there |

Thanks for the transcription and translation KBTKaiser! Now that I think about it, that letter is almost exactly like the way D.C.S.S. started, except the letter's from Sakura instead of Nemu (a letter of "I'm going away, I love you, don't forget me" - except this one has a promise of return). So, I wonder if the new game is taking place around the time of Sakura's return? Interesting that she would say (paraphrase) "When I come back, be the kind onii-chan you always have been"... when she's the exact same Sakura she's always been. Very curious... Anyway, thanks again for the translation. This is shaping up to be a pretty interesting story, so far...

Yup I know - I was talking about the letter portion of it. I don't remember if she mentions in the letter that she'll be back, but yes, you're right, she does when they meet up. And this new letter from Sakura is pretty much the same sort of thing - although in the game she announced her departure in person, perhaps she left a letter as well?
