Welcome to the Japanese niche games deals and discussion thread! Feel free to talk about local and import Japanese games here. Our goal is to maintain a thread dedicated to active deals on niche games including RPGs, Visual Novels (VN), Shoot'em ups (Shmups), Musou, etc. Also maintained are pre-orders for standard, limited and collector's edition games with key release dates provided.
I've wikified the thread to make it more friendly and open to others that can actively update with important information. You can find the wiki post directly below this one.
NOTE: Please, leave the censorship discussion away from this thread. It's common for japanese games to have questionable content outside of the country. We want to keep discussions to the game itself and not about cultural/societal tolerance.

that final boss. How many phases is enough? Seven? Eight? Nine? TEN?! Shit's putting MegaTen to shame. And that final phase, good god. Took me four or five tries to get it. All told, the final boss battle was about two hours long for me. And all for a really unsatisfying ending. This game had a serious inability to just let scenes breathe. You'd have an emotional (and iconic) moment and before anyone could mourn or meditate on what happened, BOOM big loud battle! Action sequence! Goofy shit! And the constant word salads from Sephiroth and even Aerith were getting more and more grating, until I just didn't care anymore during the finale. I don't know where in the hell this story is going to go because it's clear the dev team is just uninterested in making any sense. The implications of what's to come in part 3 are unappealing to me, with the exception of
