Interesting. I once hurled an overweight child ten feet into a wall for trying to kick my dog.

Also apparently I'm good in swordplay and stuff.

And my dad could beat up your dad.

Anyway, this makes me wish I could afford a PS3, just for the Voiceovers and epic Krauss alone.

Spoiler for Ep 3 CGI:

Is Bern smiling? BERN?!
+ Lambda's legs = lulz

[Westlo]

Thank god I get to hear Ohara's Beatrice doing the VN.

Now, there's a mystery here. There's going to be a Umineko port for PS3, yet we all know that the PS3 has no games. Maybe they can be seen with love.

Anyway, I cannot wait to read the Rosa Musō scene in the port. It was complete shit in the anime, but it must be delicious to read the same scene from the SN while listening to Ami Koshimizu's voice. My body is not ready.

I just noticed that at http://community.livejournal.com/rokkenjima they wrote "full voice". Does that mean theres voice acting for every scene? (Unlike the Higurashi DS games where it was only sometimes)

OT: See the Lord Darcy series for an example of this.

Should be, this is a PS3 game, and it costs 8000 yen

I read that the voice actors will mostly stay the same. I wonder who will change. I'm hoping that Mariko Mizuno will be returning as Siesta 45, I really liked her (and she's new in the business so she could really use this). I also hope that Fuyuka Oura will return as Lambdadelta and that Minori Chihara will return as Sakutarou, and Kikuko Inoue as Virgilia... and Tomokazu Sugita as Ronove... and Yuki Kaida as Gaap. Basically the voice actors in the anime were probably one of the few things I liked about the anime, so I don't want them to change (The ones I wouldn't mind them changing were already confirmed to return anyway so meh).

[DearMe]

De-lurking to ask a quick question. Could someone please link to some websites where I could import this game (preferably without the help of a third party). The only place I know of is AmiAmi, and they're selling a sexy Beato telephone card with the preorder.

I heard of those truth pens. Where would I find those?

This'll be my first time importing a game from Japan to play it. I can't read or understand Japanese. xD;

On 4chan they say that the only two voice actors who won't be returning are Okonogi and Sumadera Kasumi.

They will, because they also voice Krauss and Kyrie.

which means we got new voiceactors for Okonogi and Kasumi

[momobunny]

Awesome! It kinda bothered me that Kasumi had the same seiyuu as Kyrie.

I think it will only be for the lines that are actually spoken aloud than what's going on in their heads, which is what the Higurashi ports did.

But you have read and understood the story, right? It shouldn't be too much of a problem then.

Correct. I'm not too worried about that. I own the original EP 1-6, so I'm mostly just buying it because I'm such a big fan. :3
A translation patch would be awesome, though. >w>

Not as awesome as a Chiru port. It would significantly make up for the increasingly unlikely anime adaptation, considering they do voices for that.

Yeah, I'm also waiting to see if more sites will carry it. In particular keep looking back at Play-Asia and (hopefully - I have coupons/points ) CDJapan and I'm sure it will eventually show up. CDJapan in particular only seems to have up to early November for game pre-orders so maybe it'll be up in a month or so?

I would probably bet on AmiAmi being the cheapest in the end (if you want to forego the telephone card they also now have it for 6680 yen), but there's still plenty of time to delay ordering .

I thought I heard that the pens came with all pre-orders and the telephone cards/whatnot were just store-specific extras. But I could be wrong.

I assume they will do the same they did for the final version of Higurashi Matsuri (where they updated Keiichi's inner monologues to the full-voice in the Kakera Asobi version). So I think everything that is actually narrated by a character will be voiced by that character, but of course there are also many scenes that are just narrated, so they will still be plain text.

Still I'm surprised how quickly they got that finished, if you think about how much voice acting that still is. Do those seiyuu have no other jobs right now? I mean, winter anime castings must be happening right now, or not?!

Well, I'm still eager to see if there will be any changes to the script in the end. I think small things like references to existing popular culture will propably happen again.

I'm eager to hear from people how they did this, but I will probably not be able to get this anytime soon, because the PS3 is practically useless for me except for Umineko. Maybe I will get one when it's cheaper and they release a bundle together with the Chiru chapters.

You have a point there. Despite the bad sales for the anime, I'd still like to see Chiru animated.

Thanks for the information! I think I may end up buying from AmiAmi in the end. The sexy Beato is very hard for me to resist. >w>
