No Amedeo is not turning belly up haha, but :/ well it’s pretty much over with for any international fans for their latest game. But their latest game 誰にでも裏がある-true or lie? is pretty impossible for anyone outside of Japan to play.
Their trial for their game came out like on Saturday/Sunday (I just happened to browse it when they just put it out…), and since I anticipated this the most more then Bloody Call, I downloaded the trial and well tried to install it. Although it did install, :/ turns out…that their SPEC requirements is specifically JAPANESE windows ONLY.
It’ll have a popup saying in English that it’s Japan only and the rest is in Japanese basically saying that you need a JAPANESE windows version (XP ect, whatever) to play this game, and then says it’s shutting down the game since your computer does not meet the Japanese Windows requirement.
They’ve always usually stated (or sometimes not at all) in their previous games that you need a Japanese version of Windows, but through the trial they put on a check.
Most likely if they put it in their trial, it’ll be in the main game as well then too.
It doesn’t matter if your regional settings are in Japanese, but the Windows (XP, Vista, 7) has to be the Japanese version. So if you’re in Japan, and bought a computer/laptop there and not something bought overseas, you’ll be fine to play this. Oooor you could of course just buy the Japanese Windows XP or stuff for oh $350 bucks. :I hellll no.
And hey, if you have a Japanese Windows version already, then no worries you’re totally fine and could play this game most likely.
It’s pretty stupid since at least Joker by Quinrose is able to be played internationally and they just put a registration that 1 code per 1 game thing. That’s freaking logical and they’ll still gain money from international fans. :/
————————————————————
Okay that pretty much like dampened my weekend and well still depressed about it. I still have that freaking trial installed and trying to attempt making a patch but…too busy and too stupid.
They updated the seiyuu buuut most of them are either newbies/new cover up names so I can’t figure out most of them yet :/
Collete being voiced by another eroge seiyuu, and I can so far tell that Takahashi Hiroki and Ookawa Tooru is coming back as well xD the rest of them aren’t that well known from what I can see and or newbies. Well actually I think that some of them just made new aliases more-so then anything, so we’ll be able to tell more once their voice samples actually come back.
Orlando is being voiced by Ookawa haha I guess he’s coming back.
Seems Kazane, Ashe (UtM) is coming back to voice in this game too surprisingly, they should have just slapped in an Ashe look-alike probably more mature looking though in my opinion. :/ Too bad Kurumi’s seiyuu didn’t get a comeback though since I prefer her voice of Kazane’s…
Kazane sure seems to be on a roll this year for monopolizing and getting all these jobs though, since she’s in everything…I’ve been checking out. orz

man what a bummer seriously. i really hope that the chinese somehow patch this shit lol, they always figure these things out xDDD;; by making japanese system only players play this they’re basically stabbing themselves in the foot and in fact promoting piracy because now the only way to play it would be to wait for a patched/pirated version.
Yeaah I know right? That and they lose any international sales there as well. xD
I think yeah someone will patch it somehow though x__x ugggh all the things I hear about the trial just sound pretty interesting.
when i heard this news, i was really sad T-T
so amedeo always did that to their games? i didn’t play the previous ones, but i was looking forward to this one. they should really state it in their system requirements if they only planned to make it work for jpn windows…
Actually they haven’t done it with their older games at all! Haha it’s probably because the haven’t made a game (on their own and not collabed) since 2006 with Step, so they’re using new systems and stuff.
xD;; they actually have stated specifically for even a few of their older games that you’ve needed a japanese windows, but it’s always worked before? They did state it for this game if you look at their system requirements buut they didn’t change it on their main site specs (didn’t even change the due date either \o/ )
:/ but yeah someone will probably patch it somehow eventually…hopefully xD;;
I wonder if switching everything to japanese settings (the region and the time as well) will help bypass that problem? there was one game that could only run if the time was switched to japan.
even if you have the money to get japanese windows, it is not recommended to install a different language of windows for your computer because it might affect the drivers of your computer. -_- …in other words, the only way to use japanese OS is to buy a computer from japan.
and then there’s the ultimate edition of windows 7…supposedly it can run on 35 different language interface…but i don’t know if it meets the requirements for the game. even so, i don’t think i can afford it and it is not worth it for one game. T-T
Hmm I’m not too sure about that so maybe? But I don’t have high hopes on that since it said specifically for Japanese windows though.
Hahaha yeah all in all :/ it’s not worth it to play this game, all that can really be waited for is someone to patch this so it’d be playable.
Oh bummer.
…I hope Bloody Call doesn’t have the same protection since I think it’s too late for me to cancel my pre-order… D:
Note: Good Lord the captcha system is pretty hard to read… this is my 5th try to post this comment ._.; (been incrementing the number by each attempt)
I didn’t try out the trial but Bloody Call does have protection on the game, but it’s just proof of ownership type of deal. But I heard lots of other people try the trial, so I’m guessing it’s alright ^^
Ahhh D: is it really? I’ll look into changing the captcha system to a more legible than soon, haha it’s just been helping slap down on all the spam I’ve been getting. Thanks for letting me know!
