Game Rice: Actress Again to Release in August, Ryougi Playable

From main website.

When I'm not playing Pangya, I'm off playing BlazBlue. If I'm not playing BlazBlue, I go play Fate: Unlimited Codes. Before these two, I played Melty Blood: Act Cadenza, and played the best character in the game (On My List), Aoko.

With the new announcement of Shiki entering the fray, and with the PS2 version coming in the later months, I'm estatic.

My primary concerns are that Shiki may just play like a Tohno Shiki clone, which I'd expect, but only to a certain extent. Let's not just skin Tohno a female and alter some of the few high kicks he has and whatnot; let me see some loops or unique dash motions. Kara no Kyoukai is a great series of films; there's definately some working material.

Ahh... back into the Melty Days.

The Return of Pangya USA - Screenshots/Changes + 1st Impressions

Before The Shutdown

After The Revival


Today I was able to play one tournament game and test out the current Open Beta. The client is smooth, minimal errors, and everything looks clean and well done (No-half arsed Descriptions, etc.).

Probably the most memorable thing (Besides failing on Sepia Wind with a -18), everyone on the server became a Trap/Reverse Trap (Also Known As: "When I went to Ntreev, I became a girl"). Currently Ntreev USA is doing maintenance to fix these small things, but overall I am very happy with the transfer.

Mostly all the points that I highlighted in this post last month were covered, and for that I applaud them:
  • Everyone's Pang was reset to the starting 3000 Pang.
  • Every item previously owned was transferred completely intact.
  • Course records were reset.
Some Notes:
  • Scout is now named "Nuri".
  • Phoenixes are now called "Comets" (To fit the "Swing for the Heavens")
  • A18-Related Logos were all cleaned and changed to "Pangya" (Particularly the Guild Battle Winners Shirts)
From my experiences in Grand Chase, Ntreev knows how to run events, keep things balanced, and are very open to ideas/receptive to their community. It is with this hope I can see new events and a greater sense of community once more, and meet the people that I've lost, again on the greens.

Some Hopes:
  • Custom Tourney Option Once Again (Been Waiting For These)
  • Better Events/Non-Generic x2 XP/Pang Days
  • Open-mindedness to Voice Clubs and Associated In-Game Items (JP voices, Special Clubs/Items from Other Servers)
  • Season 4 Not Far From Arriving (Grand Chase is releasing characters at a standard rate, so I assume they will follow with their Pangya releases)
Some fun screenshots for your pleasure.

Various Random Photos with Old Vets/Players:


Extra: I find taking photos of my characters in different settings/outfits like a Photo Shoot entertaining. I actually took a lot of sad-face photos of the other couple of girls in the case nothing was transferred/server was gone forever. Seeing as we're in the good now, I present the "Sadface: Before the Shutdown" Arin and Hana pictures. It's nothing big, but I did put some effort into them. Too bad my username could not be removed....

Arin:Hana:

With that, I hope to see all of you on the greens, and look forward to having a wonderful time on Pangya USA.

Not-Dead Update: Tenative Miku Panel Time Scheduled!


So the tentative schedule of panels for Fanime was e-mailed today, and I'm pretty content with the placement. I do fight slightly with the last hour of the 3 hours of the Gainax panel, but I'm hoping the attendance is good nevertheless. So the current date is 5PM to 7PM. I'm thankful that the GOH is before mine and not during; seeing as Momoi Halko or another prominent guest will be taking that slot, hopefully the gathered traffic will come by.

So sorry for the lack of updates due to a busy quarter schedule; hear more later this week.

Also, hooray for Pangya account transfer being confirmed! \o/

Alright, that's enough of that.

I apologized to Kooh profusely.

I've Been Called

BEGIN TRANSMISSION OF INTENT:

This morning I was given the order to change from personality type 0034 (Chunism) and sortie into personality type 9231 (Covert Operation 12).

Unfortunately this means my current activities as type 0034 will now cease and I will become part of the eyes that bind the nation behind its drawers.

What does all of this mean.

I never loved this "Kooh".

Miku Hatsune and the rest were uncompromisable elements, I don't own any of the material that I've written; I stole most of it from type 0231.

As of now this may be the last message I have for all of you.

"Under one sky."

Goodbye.
