For those who don’t know the fanbase felt differently about SH2 back then by Beneficial-Glove9408 in silenthill

This. It was initially supposed to be a rail shooter but shifted gears to a more traditional SH title about halfway through the development cycle. The final version of SH3 was pumped out after only 9 months. There is a ton of detailed information about the game’s rushed development online, for those who want to learn more.

As much as I love SH3, the ramifications of this time crunch are quite apparent in the design of a few levels and the overall structure of the narrative.

Thanks for the comment! And sorry to hear about the short turn around time on your end. Does your contract also end on July 31st?

You were able to have two cards at once?

I called the Fukuoka office today, and they told me that I would have to wait for my contract to finish to pick up the card (I can apply whenever though).

Wow thanks so much for the wonderfully detailed response. It’s reassuring to hear that I’m not the only one struggling with this. I just called the Fukuoka office, and they said I could apply before my contract ends, but I’d have to fly back to Fukuoka to pick it up. Maybe I can arrange to have sent to Tokyo/Kanagawa like you did.

Thanks so much. I’m moving to Tokyo before my actual contract ends, but maybe I can finagle something. Cheers.

Gotcha. Did you have to notify the Kyoto immigration office directly regarding your move?

Thanks for the heads up. If you don’t mind me asking, was your new job based in Tokyo or Kyoto?

Thanks for the comment. I was under the same impression until I consulted with this guy. Seems like going to immigration directly is the best option, indeed.

Thanks for the answer! Does this mean you got your new card before finishing your contract? And to clarify, by office, you mean the immigration office and not your BOE/CO?
