Just remembered that I also had a White Rabbit Express account since I needed that one for Blackship. Looks like no ID required there. Doesn't seem to offer real-time bidding. Hm. Well, older stuff. Type-Moon hasn't ecactly done much in the last ten years - just standard editions though. But I do think fans of FGO buy their older games as well. As I said, 220€ is relatively cheap, other editions go for more, like 300+€.

Heh, that's interesting. It's pretty quick here, maybe with around seven hours of delay after it hits Germany. When it comes to PostNL, I have heard a lot of bad things from a friend living in Belgium. He imports a lot of goods and often times, the tracking is messed up, saying they delivered while they didn't etc. Haha, that was just me visualizing how it went the, probably, wrong direction. The package sits in Tokyo now where it shouldn't be. Will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. I get the line once I hit "enter". But yeah, maybe if you would type it directly into this window, you would have the same problem. I thought about buying retro stuff in general (CRT screen, CRT TV etc) but I'm lacking space currently and I'm a lazy bum, so having to set up everything etc would take too much time out of my totally-not-busy schedule. I'm also not a hardware person and would just mess up things anyway, hehe. If I could easily get something though, it would be a PC-98, followed by a X68000. I even have some Japanese books here, detailing Japanese computers (including the absoutely awesome Gundam PC).

I basically 100%'ed Sengoku Rance back in the day, so I don't have any desire to play it again. Pretty sure I played like 200 hours of it even, haha. Hehe, Oudou Yuusha I own. Daiakuji I wanted to buy once and informed my forwarding service, so that they could create an order for it. The next day, the game was gone, likely sold to another person...But yes, I love to play games chronologically as well. Sengoku Rance was a special case but I did play Rance I, now waiting for Rance II to be eventually translated (already talked with RottenBlock about it some time ago), so that I can continue afterwards. Apart from the Rance series, I would play the other ones in order of release as well. Currently also waiting for some Champion Soft titles to be translated. Well, apart from my own language, I did learn three others as well...of which I already forgot about French and Latin again, hehe. Apart from a proper course in some university or school, only a private tutor would be an option...and those are expensive, especially because I waste my money importing eroges, normal PC games and anime. As long as you don't dream your entire life, it's all good.

Different combat also counts as "unique content". Vagrant Story was a good example back in the day, Sacrifice is still a good example of a unique genre-mix (third-person perspective + RTS). There are a lot small gems around and personally, I find them more in older games than newer ones. It's also why I like Alicesoft, a lot of their games have different gameplay mechanics. Dragon Quest is a series I would like to play but, I think, two titles don't have proper releases here in the West or proper fan translations which is a shame and the reason why I've never touched the series (I tend to wait before something is finished before I binge-watch/read/play it). That new remake is 3D anyway, right? I played the original Game Boy game and it was pretty fun. I have no desire to replay any form of it though. Hm, I'm not sure. It's kinda weird. There are a lot more anime productions these days, same with games, even eroge ones. Too many companies/people want a part of the pie. Nowadays it's like that everywhere though, taken to the extreme. Just look at how many games release on Steam (I despise that platform since I hate DRM, walled gardens etc) every day. There are too many developers/publishers for the gaming market. Sure, it was like that back in the day too but I feel like, these days, it's worse than ever. And yeah, specifically in anime, it was basically a race to the bottom. Create as much as possible otaku bait with as little money as possible.

(I should really proofread some time but meh, the color doesn't make it fun and I'm too lazy to copy & paste even. Just regard them as typos (saw that letter/latter thing in my previous post, ouch).
