Complete Guide ebook

The 7D 2020 Complete Guide is “available online as an ebook”:http://bookwalker.jp/pc/detail/e205dd12-45f2-4510-a88b-0658579f8a65/ if you have access to BOOK☆WALKER.

The app for Android is region locked, unfortunately, and the iOS app is only available on the Japanese App Store, so it’s basically a Japan-only thing for now.

Quickie merchandise update

“Official site update for 12/16″:http://jrpg.jp/news/?nid=307

* Official soundtrack as mentioned previously
* Clear files being sold at Winter Comiket only :(
* T-shirts being sold pretty much everywhere, I saw them listed on CDJapan prior to the last update. I guess if you want to wear a white shirt with samurai girl on the front, or a black shirt with the Murakumo logo, they’ve got you covered.

Diva Mode BGM samples

OK this might be too much to translate (interview at the bottom). But if you’re curious what Yuzo Koshiro, Rieko Kodama, and sasakure.UK look like, “check out the last photo”:http://www.famitsu.com/images/000/005/879/4eccca00a2e5e.html (that’s them in order, to the right of the samurai cosplayer.

Happy thanksgiving everybody!

Torrent

Fast and furious suddenly

Another random Tokyo cutscene video featuring “the remaining survivors of mankind” etcetc. Hey some of these characters look familiar…

“There’s more detailed art of them here”:http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20111118_491743.html – I guess Emel is American or something how about that.

Also, more importantely, more Aitel

“20min podcast from Gamers1 interviewing the staff.”:http://www.gamers1.jp/colweb/radio/2011/111117/111117.php I’ll have to take a second look at this one later, it’s fairly long.

“Short 15sec TV spot on Youtube”:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N2NrvPaOok

-Apparently more coming tomorrow too!- Or not – “there’s a second official news update dated 11/18 which just contains the video above”:http://jrpg.jp/news/?nid=276 :(

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.
