I haven't kept up with who has been added to the list of supported retailers (which, incidentally, I'm not sure if it's more an issue with Atlus or the retailers themselves as to having the bonus) but the initial list came from Atlus themselves. Canada very much has support for getting the pre-order...

Well, that video defect was only in part of the first batch, and only some people notice that it's there. Plus, NISA were very prompt in offering replacement of the defective discs. So, calling their start 'terrible' is rather exaggerating. They had underwhelming sales (to be fair, anime sales in t...

And off to a terrible start, at that >> What with the first batch having video defects and all. Honestly, NISA has enough problems of their own. They really need a new QA team. If they even have one to begin with. [spoiler]It's worth noting that the N1 decline is in profits, not that they're in the ...

Speaking of companies looking shaky, Nippon Ichi still bleeding money and just cancelled three games (costing them ~¥21 million or ~$245,000). [spoiler]Though, "only" $245k on three games isn't a huge deal at all so it's probably some of their low budget titles but still. Then again, it is...

Already? They've been around for a long time (~'93, though Black/Matrix was '98 and Summon Night was '00). Their last few games didn't do so well so it isn't a huge surprise on one hand. Not that we even got them here. Besides, the Summon Night team founded a new company already anyway and have a ga...

The hexer also has revenge maxed, which is nice if it hits, (which isn't the most consistant on FOEs or Bosses) Huh? Revenge has no hit rate. If you're not at max HP, Revenge works 100% of the time. Period. Also worth noting, DH with Whips do reduced damage from the back-row. Despite what the game ...

Speaking of JRPGs, Flight-Plan (Summon Night series) died. They're gone.

[spoiler]Alright, fine, some of them formed a new studio Apollosoft but still.[/spoiler]

Chobits is typical Clamp work. It features "robots" (personocoms, or personal computers in the form of humans) and the core story features the male lead (Hideki) and the personocom he finds, Chie. The story itself focuses more on the relationship between humans and personocoms in general (...

You don't really need one in EOII.

I also haven't seen much of anything in EOIII requiring them either, though I didn't do all of the post-game content (need to have some reason to play the US release).

I'm still waiting for someone to recognize my right hand. Anyway, the same applies somewhat over here too. You never know who will or won't know something about anime until something comes up otherwise. Still, the common "OMGPOPULAR" opinion is pretty much either "kiddy" shit or ...

Wouldn't ' adulterated filth' be a more accurate description? "Unadulterated filth" means it's pure, 100%, complete filth.. "Adulterated filth" means that it's only partly filthy. Unadulterate means it's pure, undiluted and adulterate is to make something impure by adding other ...

It doesn't help that people remember the odd bits of "unadulterated filth" or even just hyper-sexualized weird shit, for lack of a better word. Like, this game from Nippon Ichi and Image Epoch . This, plus preconceived notions ("THE INTERNETZ TOLD ME") tends to have people expect...

Well... [spoiler]The "HE DIES" was for the finale, not the Wil part (though they do use the "HE LEAVES AND DIES!" bit). I meant that I paused when they happened (Wil leaving, Treize dying) and angrily smoked and came back and unpaused to "LOL GOTCHA" moments. I want to ...

Rice balls, I think. Not sure what their menu was. These aren't that uncommon though: http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/comment/9/2010/08/35fbe6f6cacaa077496fdf5a8a9f1549/340x.jpg evolves into http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/08/500x_bw07.jpg
