The Mushi Futari DVD is region free. It says region 2 on the box, but it's region free. Weird!

The Galuda 2 DVD was also Region free, as were all the INH Cave DVDs.

they didn't mention the book with the (pre-)order of the espgaldua II dvd either and it was included when i received mine from them. so

worth noting that the maniac and ultra discs don't have clear sound on a mono speaker set-up. i think the same is true of the ageha replay on the galuda II dvd. bear that in mind if you're watching it on a laptop or old tv etc

I've seen two of them signed by IKD the past week or so.
Both went for 15k.
I'm not daft enough to go into a bidwar for something like that. ^_-

I thought it far more appropriate to get the Ketsui thing signed by Ikeda. The Super Play DVD is about the players to me, not the developers.

SuperPang · Post by **SuperPang** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:03 am

I agree. I would've taken something like an original Ketsui flyer with me just in case he was signing. If it was a more attractive autograph maybe even a box

How l337 would that be.

Well, he made a very brief appearance at the first one and didn't say a word. The picture I got of him is about it, and you had to be on your toes to see him. I was there for quite a few hours as well.

You know you want it!

As of today it´s in stock and ready for immediate shipping.

Seems a bit pricey to me though...

The book is 120 or so pages, 30 of which are color. It's also 3 DVDs. Japanese retail price was 7600 yen, so not a whole lot cheaper. Be thankful you can get it. Many payed over 12,000 on Yahoo Japan.

Eh... Ok I think i'll pick this up. Dont really want it all that bad but I regretted not picking up the EspGaluda 2 DVD when I had the chance, so yeah.

I got my DVD set in yesterday evening, and I watched the Ultra Mode clear with Reko Normal by Yusemi-SWY. I'd like to know what kind of performance enchancing drugs he's using, and where I can get some of that. An insane level of precision movement demonstrated there.

It's interesting that the original version is harder.
I wish I had more info about unlocking ultra mode, as version 1.0 is sounding more and more appealing to me.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 10:59 pm

It's kind of boring, actually. Maniac Mode really does kind of suck. There's all types of places that are very "un-Cavish". I don't know what Ikeda was thinking. It's basically really hard to "stretch" the amount of gems you have. Very two-dimensional (pun intended).

If you get it, you should get it for a harder Original mode. It's definitely playable, and definitely harder.

Without looking up any information on this game, would I be correct to assume the story/setting takes place in the past? Otherwise as a preface to Mushihimesama?

No. It takes place after the first game. Reko is a little bit older and the final boss blames her for the death of her son (Aki, who dies at the end of the first game).

At least that's cleared up. Only question is why do they depict Reco as being younger? Obviously it's not fact, but that's the impression I get. Palm seems to have a distinct similarity to Aki, and since I was unaware he was infact a he and moreover that he infact died.

She clearly has larger cans in the second...

Good point. I think my feeling overall with the out of game artwork to be pretty weird/freaky. Basically any colour character artwork essentially, and that's probably why I have a strange impression at this point.

They were already too big in the original.

15 years old with those things? Who in the hell does she think she is, Saaya Irie?
