7th Dragon, 7th Dragon 2020

Weekly all-kinds-of-stuff 11/15

Super busy tonight don’t have time to bother with descriptions, maybe later

Wait that’s sort of what I’ve been doing for the last few weeks

“4gamer has some nice Trickster art and more NPC descriptions”:http://www.4gamer.net/games/132/G013284/20111114004/. Are those … are those the Rogue’s dagger poison skills from 7D? Why yes, I believe they are.

“Rescue minigame on official site”:http://dragon2020.sega.jp/rescue/index.php, uses twitter followers. Sigh I feel like I need a new twitter account to do this, don’t especially want to bother any IRL friends with this stuff. Actually first off i’m sort of concerned, the chibicharas have … bouncing boobs, seriously? Sega goddamnit

Incidentally there’s been some kind of ongoing promotion with the puchi-BRS game over on niconico, something about 7D style avatars.

Whoa

I don’t care how fleeting a moment this is, but it appears that “I’ve momentarily captured the #1 non-Japanese spot on the Gundeadligne Steam online rankings”:http://steamcommunity.com/id/pxtable/screenshot/614968094988956240. Missed TLB on this run, but managed to squeak out a 1-ALL. Whoa! I’m #1 in something that nobody else is playing!

It’s a pretty crappy score and I didn’t get the TLB. Guess what, I don’t care :)

Innovation

And now, a breakthrough in the field of _moe_ 萌 gaming.

“Smack☆Holic ～moe moe Meiko～”:https://market.android.com/details?id=com.yama.spankinggame1

That’s right, for the low low price of 100円, you can physically abuse your own virtual maid, complete with voice acting. Earn additional costumes and equipment by fulfilling certain goals!

A sign of the coming apocalypse, surely!

So gundeadligne on steam is actually a lot of fun, and there aren’t enough non-Japanese dudes on the hiscore board, and you should play it

Notable videos

* Here’s “FenixStryk’s Novice 1cc”:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIltMBGK4L4
* Soundtrack samples: “1″:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwIK4r3JiAw | “2″:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xfL2dwEZq8 | “3″:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNcPLv9LsHE | “4″:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s12y3di6xfs | “5″:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLxvZ84NtNc

$10 for the trio ain’t bad, especially with the remixed soundtracks. I’ve been spending a lot more time on Ligne over Recollection lately, it’s much more friendly in terms of playing for score.

Store-unique preorder bonuses

“Look at those bloody preorder bonuses”:http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/423/423426/, I mean seriously LOOK AT THEM

“Sega’s official listing page over here”:http://dragon2020.sega.jp/yoyakutokuten.html, smaller shots though

I ordered from amiami but I didn’t order one of the packages with their special toshocard (didn’t look that appealing). But one of these other ones…

Opening Movie

How many movies with the same song and reused animations can you have?

Well here’s one more, the opening movie to the game. Hopefully the last one.

Hm … the text is nice, but feels a little subdued I think.

There should be another update coming on Friday, hopefully with more interesting stuff!
