Dealing with big online webshops is a pain in general. They go for the vaguest "solutions" because they have to deal with refund scammers and shitty sellers. It's just to cover their own asses legally.

I haven't really bought any "clear porn", but I did buy the Rance LN's, which have porn in it, via white rabbit. All I have tied to that account is my name and address and a mobile phone number (prepaid), no ID and such. Maybe they changed it or maybe they don't check the nature of items properly.

Atleast they inform you of this, Japan post is slower than my local service in updating the track&trace. This despite them needing to get the package first before they make a page. Japanese PC gaming in general seems to be really expensive now, guess it got more popular. Was looking around for a PC98, obviously to expensive to justify (my modern PC can manage anyway), so I ended up browsing games. Literally every game I saw was atleast €50,-. Not particularly great games either. This is probably 10x worse with Falcom and other well liked companies.

Fair enough, I thought them being English releases would qualify them as different enough. Yeah, just checked the size of those things. It's even worse than the Super Mario Maker 2 boxart with the "limited edition sticker" just being part of the boxart but then for every game. I thought the tiny PEGI's were annoying, but atleast those can be tactically placed.

From what I've seen and read they aren't experience changing. Think hotkey and GUI usage improvements and a more expanded scene gallery which is a good addition. Also the commander names are now translated as opposed to the fan translation. I can't read a word of JP either, though I might recognize Alicesoft at this point. Generally use translation tools very carefully, it gets the job done. I tend to prefer original as well, but a real remake can be quite good as well. Think Rance 01/03, not literally like them ofcourse, but make it follow along the lines of the old game and make something that plays nice or what was intended buy hamstrung by the original hardware. Doesn't happen that often anymore though, game studios would rather focus those efforts in a sequel. Far safer bet for equal if not less effort. I like the aesthetic of Rance IV most, with the PC MIDI music though. late 90's are good as well, feels like a more developed version of that style. I wouldn't say that I dislike the modern style, but it feels slightly generic/standardised and very clean. I guess I just like the older rougher stuff better.
