If it works fine then it'd be great to get that warning removed from the store page before release.
Is there any chance of getting the current build to someone on here who knows the game inside out and would be happy to test it for nothing?

The VN takes place before 3. Not sure when exactly.

Are there any screens of the story dialogue? They're oddly absent from the Steam page.


And yeah, I'd be happy to test if necessary. I'm kind of a fan. :p

The English translation is in the last run of checking and editing, so it hasn't been highlighted yet. We just want to make sure it is flawless before it is seen.

(I've played the game, and everything I've seen personally (admittedly not far into the game, as I'm not that great) has seemed fine, but they just want to do one final check).

I can assume the VN took place in 2007 while the third game took place in 2008.

Alfa System's characterization of Fumiko sure changed between the original Castle of Shikigami and its sequels.

No joke. In the second, she's hell bent on revenge. In the third, she's absolutely insane and gone full manizer. (Is that a word?)

Most likely...
(Yes, see the trailer on the Steam page.)

Let me ask you this, which seiyuu do you think fits Sayo more? Yui Horie or Ayako Kawasumi? In the third game, Ayako Kawasumi replaces Yui Horie as Sayo's voice, and it's actually pretty cute to listen to.

CoS3 has Fumiko giving orders to a character from the future, so I guess the series has some time travel wank going on.

She also claims Hitler was just possessed by demons during her Shiki 1 story. It's... kind of crazy.

Definitely the original. She sounds more stern in Shiki 1.

Not to mention Time Gal Reika being in the game.

I'm a fan of both. I know Yui Horie voiced Sayo in the second game.

Speaking of which, isn't Sayo's birthday tomorrow? June 5th? That means she'd be 28 years old.

And this is what happens when you strike a conversation with xxx1993. He will spam you, he will talk about useless trivia nobody cares about, he has none of the charm PC Engine Fan X has (At least that guy when he shows up, his trivia's fun to read), he's an obsessive fanboy who clearly has nothing to do in his life and overanalyses everything for search of deeper meaning or just outflat makes up details, seeing his posts here and on facebook. I would avoid him folks.

Anywho looking forward to the port, if the preliminary reviews are good i'll probably get it like the rest of degica shmups.

So, anyone want to give a rundown of how the game itself plays? Overall style, any unique mechanics, scoring, etc.?

Not if she ages like Reimu does over the course of the Touhou series.
