.hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
Re: .hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
Ok will do. I checked out the other forum for the campaign too. I really liked Kuukai's idea. It was amazing what he did with that picture! If you haven't seen it yet you should check it out!

Re: .hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
Xseed has been very faithful to Nihon falcom's original gameplay mechanics for the 2 Ys games that have been released already, and I'm sure they will be very faithful to Cyber Connect 2 if we resort to them. The only problem is that it will probably be a long wait because they still have 4 more games for Nihon Falcom and the last 3 are quite expansive.CrestAkray wrote:I agree with d5t, Bryce, and Sch@dows. If we can get another company to make it, sure it might be a tad different comabt & design style, but it'll still have the story, and I'd buy it. A different game style is better than no game, if you ask me.

Already posted this over on the Link campaign facebook page:
[Apparently, Namco Bandai have decided to all but abandon their westernized take on games after failure to garner an audience across the ocean and decided to go back to what they know best. Maybe in light of this, we'll have a stronger argument for NB America in regards to Link localization and JRPG support in general.]

Re: .hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
Yeah I honestly had no idea Namco Bandai of America was actually developing games. They all flew under the radar. If they're getting out of development in America and the JRPG scene... well they should change the companies name to Soul Tekken Shippuden.k-su wrote:Already posted this over on the Link campaign facebook page:

Re: .hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
Maybe it would help them if they promoted the series with some commercials or something. The first games series was shown on Toonami. I'm sure it led some people into buying the game. It may, or may not help, but promoting their JRPGs more would be a nice thing.
Re: .hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
Of course, if the fan base is small, commericals are rarely shown.

My dad's company works very closely with Namco Bandai, but I don't know how that'll affect the outcome, but every little bit counts right
Re: .hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
Well, the 17th has arrived. Time to kick things into gear!
Re: .hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
It's going to be easier to see what's going on on Facebook. Campaign has kicked off - already seeing posts on Namco Bandai's page along with some awesome pictures.

Re: .hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
Now that I'm done with finals, I can concentrate on this!
The front page looks real cool, by the way. I've linked it on my main blog site so hopefully some of my friends there will see that and get interested. I'll also be doing other things that were suggested. I'm really really hoping this works, ugh!

Re: .hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
All i can do to help is gather .hack//fans from school and gaia...but I will do so none-the-less. Also, Shugo_Lover, just put the image you want into your photobucket account, and add media to your sig (aka the image)

Re: .hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
I've made a few entries in my blog on ScrewAttack.com, but they don't really get that much attention. My facebook page is locked since I haven't used it in ages so I can't really support you guys that way, but I'll think about signing up on Namco Bandai's boards and making my voice heard. I don't think Xseed and NIS will be viable since Namco Bandai owns the rights to .hack//Link, but I'll keep an eye on them as well.

I've done the same thing. Also posted on some random boards I take part.Anime Monkey wrote:I've linked it on my main blog site so hopefully some of my friends there will see that and get interested.
Re: .hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
Awesome - people are talking about this in the NIS forum, even though it's a long stretch. The positive part is just spreading the .hack//Link word - literally the word - will stir up some stuff.hidora wrote:I've done the same thing.

I made some calls to ubisoft and they said that it was none of their concern.

Re: .hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
I think it has been established that we need to focus on Namco Bandai, but I don't think it will be easy. What I'm thinking about doing this Christmas is buying the Japanese version, and if more people from other countries buy this game the sales might increase enough in Japan for them to consider releasing it outside of the country. I've heard that this worked with some other games from the past, but it is an expensive way to get things done. Each game will essentially cost $80 (in America) and you have to buy NEW copies or else they won't see an increase in sales. I'm pretty sure since we haven't gotten a reply from Namco Bandai yet that they are ignoring us, but they won't ignore an increase in sales. Though it seems counter productive it might actually work, but I would consider it a very last resort to what we are doing now though.Kaori wrote:I made some calls to ubisoft and they said that it was none of their concern.

Re: .hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
I asked them if they could publish it but they said no.

Re: .hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
Mainly because Namco Bandai has the rights to the game, but if we can convince them to localize it themselves or get another publisher like Ubisoft, Xseed, or NIS to localize it then we will get .hack//Link in English.Kaori wrote:I asked them if they could publish it but they said no.
Re: .hack//Link US Campaign - Help Us Organize!
Hey everyone I made a video to help us out on Youtube. It isn't much, and could someone make a much better one to spread the word? Also maybe we can get Namco to see some of our vids.
