Woooot!
Took the survey. I can just tell I'll love 999, so I hope the game company will consider localizing otome games. I definitely want them over here. Though yeah, you're right. Odd that TGMS isn't on there - but maybe, like with the most famous/classic shojo manga license, the asking price of the japanese companies are simply not reasonable for what is in America a niche genre at best. At least manga has had success in America, whereas otome games would be a totally experiment from their standpoint.
You know what they should go for? Fuushigi Yuugi on the DS. There's a sizable fanbase that'll jump. (I don't see them doing any PS2 games though). Pity a Fruits Basket DS otome game was never created (WHY NOT?!), because I think they'd be much more willing to localize that one.
Btw, Edgy-poo is hot. Just saying. Can't wait for AAI2 *squeal* I need my Edgey-poo!!
Stupid question for you: Is the beta test patch out yet...? xD I saw your update on the website talkinga bout test patch 1 & test patch 2... but I didn't think test patch 1 was out yet for testers. Either that or I missed some sort of communication.
