Interview with GamiP

(1/2) > >>

Maka:
So the other day I found this translated interview with GamiP, the creator of the franchise. It's very short but it has a bit of discussion on female fans (who don't get mentioned a ton in discussions of the fandom), PS4 discussion, and most importantly localization talk! It's definitely worth a read... And I'm most interested in the last question.

Thoughts?

altuixde:
So Shiny Festa released in English was an experiment... but the result of that experiment could only be failure because it was priced way too high. Oh well. At least they're still considering releasing an English version console title.

MetalPredat0r:
Some notes I took from this:

- So judging from Question 5, GamiP may or may not have plans for expanding the franchise for the next few years? That answer feels a bit odd to me.

- I gotta agree with altuixde. Shiny Festa in English is an ambitious experiment, but the price is way too high for many people to be attracted to the game. Maybe if they brought over a console game for that same price, then we might get some progress. At least they are considering it.

- I always thought of iM@S as appealing to a unisex audience, so it's nice to see GamiP acknowledge that not all fans are male.

- This one caught my attention:
"Q. How do you observe oversea opinions?
 
A. Through various internet communities we gather and confirm information."

...... Do you think GamiP and his team have actually been on this very forum? X)!

- I want to see a legitimate worldwide release, and I think now, with the series nearing its big 10th anniversary, this is the best time to consider such a thing. Although I don't expect any game to be released here until the PS4 game is done.

AkuAkane:
The talk of worldwide release and a console im@s game being officially translated into English is pretty exciting; I hope it really happens. "We'll be giving it plenty of development time and show you a new iDOLM@STER." Made me pretty excited too. It really makes it sound like they're going to go all out and make a lot of changes; I can't wait to see the end result of their work! Its gonna be torture waiting for the new game ;A;

Setsuna:
*whistle*
