It started out as an ordinary morning, woken up by my childhood friend. Had a good breakfast… complete with morning hard-ons. An ordinary, everyday eroge scene. Or… so it seemed. Things would never be the same from that day, as peaceful everyday life was blown to bits.
An accident on a spaceship heading to earth, causes it to crash on the Prime Minister of Nippon’s office. The leaders end up in a state too horrible to see. To avoid chaos, the alien chose a girl who happened to be there, and to make ends meet, brainwashed all of mankind.
Nippon adopts a presidential system overnight, and incredibly, a girl, my childhood friend, is the president. The world will answer to her every whim.

Seems like Jast really did just copy paste the fan translation and changed a few things here and there.
I've seen a few other titles here posted with fan disc versions as well (can't quote you which ones right of the top of my head). Are they discs made by fans of the game, with unofficial content, or are they made by the company that made the game, being an official prequel/sequel/pseudo-expansion pack?
If this is the official English release, why do I need did someone say to use applocale?
If this is the official English release, why does applocale auto recognize it as Japanese?
If this is the official English release, why do I get a bunch of question marks in some dialog boxes (i.e. Screen -> Maximum Frame Rate -> [Pick Something]) with out applocale and, and get proper Japanese script with applocale?
As I didn't actually by this game, I prefer to keep my head down and not ask the copyright holder's questions. For all I know, it could be some sort of trap. If you bought the disc or an official download, maybe you don't need applocale, and you don't get Japanese dialogue boxes. Those who play a copied and hacked (<- that's what call the process that get's you by the license key number requirement during install, right?) get said issues, and when you write into JAST about it, the trace you ISP and send the cops to your door. Not risking it. (Paranoid? Probably.)
If any one else has the courage to go and ask, please post the answer here.
No idea about first question. Game should work fine under english locale.
Second - english version of the game uses the same japanese-made scripting engine as japanese one (kirikiri) - open "properities" of game exe for more info.
Third - same as second question.
Process of removing copyright protection/DRM is called "cracking". Hence the name "crack" for files with protections removed.
After seeing the applocal fixed it(?), I just started using applocal by default. I don't know if there are other issues.
I'm not looking for a response, just making my final report on the issue.
Other file-sharing sites like Filesonic and Fileserve are either closing temporarily or permament because of that.
I dispute that claim! I grant it is in English right out of the box, so to speak, but the game apparently doesn't work quite right unless you have your computers language settings to Japanese, or if you use applocale to end-run the problem, applocale actually recognizes the game as Japanese by default.
End analysis: The game is in English, but it is not the "English Version."
(See some of my earlier posts on the previous page. As I said, don't take this too seriously, I'm just being obstinate for no good reason.)
He's right... it WAS a fan-translated version. JAST worked together with TLwiki (The ones who made the fantranslation) to have the OFFICIAL release. The difference with the fantranslation and the official is that you don't need to set up the pc to japanese locale (Work-arounds like these is a sure-fire thing that the game is fan-translated), the game gets more publicity, and since it enters the US, they can remove the Censorship of the game.
What JAST did is that they basically bought the translation from TLwiki, made a few tweeks here-and-there, and VOILA! official release.
During the game, there is reference to a "vector cannon" during Irina's route. It may occur in the other routes, but I haven't played them yet. I won't say how or why to avoid spoilers. Too anyone who knows of the scene to which I refer, given the dialogue around it, is this tribute to the PlayStation 2 title, "Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner?" There are many similarities in the dialogue of that game as well.
I was also a bit disappointed by the Ran ending. Not that I thought it was bad, but for all the other endings there's a decent amount of post-credit material dealing with Junichiro and that girl's relationship, while the Ran path sort of puts that aside for what I felt was kind of a B story in her path.
And to any1 still dling this, You better hurry because you never know MF and Rs might be next.
P.S.
F*ck you SOPA
to play this game???
answer please
I've got a problem, a strange problem.
I'm doing Putina route first. Damn, she's hot.
So, everything was fine until... I don't really know what's that, but I guess it's some movie (2nd then) with Putina saying something a'la "Next time...". Everything in the game window goes green, audio chops, can't do anything, even move my mouse, then KABOOM - restart. I've tried everything (every possible option) in game settings.
Any suggestions?
I just heard that JAST version cut the ecchi scenes. Is that right?
