Anybody know where this video can be downloaded in a non-streaming format? I can only view it in little chunks.

Someone will probably post a version on hameko like they did w/ the last streaming-only version.

Bloodflowers: The consensus now is that it's hard as balls, but everyone on 2ch is saying that Location tests are always way harder than the real thing. The idea is to get a lot of poeple playing a little bit... not a select few playing through the end.

if you prefer, you can also download this movie with a streaming manager like Stream Down or GetASFStream

Prologue added to the story at the official site. I'll whip out a translation on my break.

EDIT: Here it is
Prologue:

On an evening with a beautiful moon, the power of the
holy spirit descended upon Asagi, a guinnea pig of the
spirit machine.

The spirit whispered:
"I'll save you..."

A slightly startled Asagi awoke.
"Was that a dream? I was sleeping...
Where am I?"
A door she had never seen lay before Asagi.
She reaches for the doorknob and suddenly opens it.

"These children..."

There were countless bodies stacked upon each other.

"They're dead? This is the fate of the failed experiments...?
I was an experiment too... right... ?

Spirit: Understand?
Asagi: Are you... a spirit?
Spirit: Yes. I live within you... Look at this...
An image of an unknown city appears.
Spirit: In this city are people just like you.
They will help you. Go!

More like Yoshitaka Amano Final Fantasy-esque characters, if you ask me.

Cave will release the arcade shooter Espgaluda II in Japan on November 25.
According to http://www.the-magicbox.com/gaming.htm

Hopefully within 4-6months it will be ported to PS2 that would be great :lol:

What with preordering ESPGaluda 2 and buying Dai ou Jou Black Label this week, I think this is gonna be my last brand new Cave purchase for a hell of a long time. Heh this time very nearly broke the bank, but it'll be worth it.

Is that definitely going to be the poster which comes with the kit?

Does anyone know where I can get a Mushihime tama poster from? (new puzzle game) :oops:

Yeah, I don't know if that's definitely in the kit, as I'm already starting to see them for sale... I smell promo only. For 2 fucking grand you'd think they could throw it in though. :)

Just a guess really but I think it's quite likely that's the poster. After all, were the Ibara posters really part of the kit or just promo's ECL's supplier included? Were Mak and other Japanese sellers including posters?

Out of interest Z, do you have a Mushi-tama kit? Is it any good? Do you get a bug balltop like the Uo Poko paw?

Zak in sensible Cave purchase shocker :o :lol: ..... unless you pay $300 for the E2 poster which is the current rate :o I'm now hoping it is with the kit!

I caved in and sold a couple more home carts to find an Espgaluda 2 pre-order. Stupid amount of money but I adore the first one.

My ESP2 is my Xmas gift to myself -- that's how I justified it. The poster, is likely promotional only. AFAIK, the Ibara poster did not come with all kits. I'd love to get that ESPGaluda II one, but I just don't hang posters... it would sit in the closet. Not very practical.

I envy you guys that have splurged for this.
I'd love to myself, but Ibara, Christmas presents and my tuition fees have triple powerbombed my CC for the rest of the year.

You know this is getting ported though ^_- (C'mon Arika, you know you want to.)
