I'm not sure RTS games have really changed (from the late 90s). Apart from drawing rectangles around units and selecting more than one at a time...and smart-casting, it's basically how it has been for two decades. After like 1997/1998 it has been pretty stagnant. Granted, I have not played any "remasters" or something like Grey Goo but at least those don't look different. The genre that has changed the most is probably FPS. Menu navigation can be a pain and take forever. I dislike it when it takes forever. For instance the first Europa Universalis is super slow and tedious. I had tried playing it a year or two ago. Yep, it's somewhat ingrained in their culture but with the instability and people not being able to work at a single company their whole life, it has been changing little by little. That's what I'm thinking. If no one really cares, it wouldn't be bad/difficult. Well, we will see where it goes. The main issue would be that the artists would have to learn how to draw a penis and vagina properly now, ha. I'm all for it at least and they can always give players the option to toggle it, I guess. Regarding the Dohna Dohna stuff, I think they did some questionnaires and most people were for shaved characters (which is good, in my opinion).

Hehe, publicity is all that counts after all, even if people just roll their eyes at it. Absolutely. Versus XIII, a lot of people were excited. And then it came out and was meh but people still bought it. In general, Square-Enix wasted a lot of money on that game and Final Fantasy XIV which was absolutely terrible in the beginning. Too bad the new version of XIV worked out for them, especially because it's still a pretty bad game. No idea how that has so many subscribers.

Yeah, Hanihon has...four(?) special editions. I think two came with games and the other two were only available on conventions. I'm a somewhat hardcore collector now, I guess. My Alicesoft collection is growing at least. And what I got last week: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91vLNQ7ZhQL.jpg Book from 1993 and a sketch book which was the official mail order bonus as an addition. What's really cool, that 1993 book had the original postcard still inside. Of course, it also had the obi. Funnily enough, the sketch books seems to be the more interesting item of the two. And this week I got the Alice no Yakata 456 Guide which you scanned before, of course also with obi and the original postcard inside. And what you might have not seen, the Rance VI mail order bonus sketch book which is decently nice. It's a shame I couldn't get 闘神都市II―原画&設定資料集 from that seller (someone snagged it away before me) because I really want that due to the artstyle. https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4890526935 But well, more is on the way. No clue if Suruga-ya adds an invoice. I actually bought something from them like 10 hours ago for the first time. I know Amazon.jp does but they threw the invoice away...though, it would have been inside the package in the first place, not in that plastic wrap where the customs papers are. Yep, I've also been moving away from Amazon.jp a bit, mostly due to high prices and lack of pictures. Checked out three other shops yesterday: Fril, Otamart and Netoff but they seem rather small to be honest, basically no Alicesoft stuff or even Falcom games. Absolutely, and I can appreciate that, hehe.
