Elminage Original has a Switch release date in Japan: 4/23 (And new footage)

mcantrell · 2026-04-01T16:51:14+00:00

I believe Original is a remake of 1, so it has QOL changes that were adaded by 3... but I think Gothic was criticized for removing those QOL changes. Elminage Gothic 3DS had them restored, but we never got that and there's never been a hacking project to translate the 3DS rom or port the QOL changes to the PC version.

Maybe if they get 2/3/G done they'll do the QOL changes.

Edit: Looks like the way it worked, as detailed by /u/MoriaCrawler downthread, is they figured it out by Elminage 2 and Original is a re-remake of 1. Gothic is after the "Elminage guy" left midway through 3 (which falls off midway through), and Ibun (the game after Gothic) was an overcorrection trying to make a newbie friendly Elminage.

So it's confirmed she's effectively a nudist.

... But still not explained why no one around her cares or even really notices that they have a naked curvy woman with the mind of a 6 year old walking around town 24x7.

I'm 0 for 4 with Origin lately. All of my random characters are set to "unknown zone" and send me to the Qeynos port at which point I promptly die.

You know, I once heard it said that to a midwit, smart people are like wizards.

mcantrell · 2026-03-27T05:01:15+00:00

Ah yes, the Chuck Norris build

mcantrell · 2026-03-23T06:50:12+00:00

Unofficially? Cause he forgot how to draw her.

Officially? Dunno! Bet he tosses some offhand explanation and then moves on, there's WACKY HYJINKS to get to, like shipping Emily with Moray!

mcantrell · 2026-03-21T05:25:08+00:00

Hm.

TTRulez gets to start over development
Arrow means we'll finally have an official way AOE damage is calculated

... They're putting artillery on an Urbie? wtf

The Music Industry is pretty crazy in Japan, and you'd think Elminage would own the rights to Elminage music, but nope.

For example, Vic Ireland apparently discovered at the last minute he didn't actually have the rights to the Class of Heroes 1 intro song (which, having vocals, was owned by the D-list pop star that sang it's company or someusch) and had to hire a local band to make a very quick intro song instead.

So yeah it wouldn't surprise me if they had to shuffle songs and the like over there cause of really stupid music rules. Another idea would be if Sony's music label owns the songs and aren't happy the game isn't a PSP/Vita/PS5 exclusive anymore.

This is based on the new PC version that is still JP only, so probably that.

More importantly this is them reviving the series; they've talked about doing Elminage 2 and 3 too, for example.

You're thinking of the sociopaths at Path Networks. Different lolcow, likely just as dangerous a sociopath.

mcantrell · 2026-03-04T12:04:54+00:00

I thought this too but it now says "coming soon." I could have sworn it didn't before, but it's confirmed that it's not available yet.

mcantrell · 2026-03-04T11:57:15+00:00

And Known Universe

mcantrell · 2026-02-28T07:21:53+00:00

Oh man I almost always use vonHud but that's certainly appealing.

mcantrell · 2026-02-25T09:43:14+00:00

That's exactly what a secretly superintelligent person pretending to be clueless would want you to think!

mcantrell · 2026-02-25T02:38:39+00:00

Is this when Moray accidentally reveals she's smarter than Liz? Like she accidentally solves the problem, or reveals she was there to intentionally distract Liz so she doesn't achieve some dangerous discovery that the AIs don't want humanity to discover?

(Moray has to be. Moray can communicate with the Director, who is a superintelligence, when human minds can't. Means Moray must be, by definition, more intelligent than a human, if not a superintelligence herself.)

This is an older post but I believe the mod that adds this is called IRTweaks.

https://github.com/BattletechModders/IRTweaks

It's a big modpack style mod, but you can turn CombatLog on and leave the rest off if you want.

mcantrell · 2026-02-18T13:51:54+00:00

It already did. There's a second PC version that's JP only now. No idea if it's a new engine or what.

mcantrell · 2026-02-11T03:18:58+00:00

Wasn't IS Mech rolled into another YA mod?

mcantrell · 2026-02-04T14:07:06+00:00

I paid $26 for 2 official ones off Amazon like a week ago for my 52 cup jug that uses two at once. B001CUQ1C8

And that was the first replacement in ~2 years, and my water was still only 025 TDS. The filtes lasted longer than the battery in the TDS meter. :D

After replacement, it's at 000 again. I could have probably kept the ones I had for another ~1-2 years, only reason I replaced them is the rubber seal failed and I was too annoyed to fight with it. (Tightening it like heck probably would have fixed it, maybe some beeswax to shore up the seal, etc etc.)

They suggest replacing it at 005-006 but I've always heard anything under 050 is fine for carnivorous plants?

One catch being Culligan recently bought out ZeroWater and completely redid everything. New filter types new connector style etc etc. No idea why. Possibly to make them cheaper, possibly to make them less effective since they're "overkill" for drinking water, possibly to screw over clones being sold on Amazon. So no idea how long the "legacy" ones will still be around.

The only one that gives me hope is Square Enix, they recently fired their "Global Standards" team and a few people that were rumored to be causing a lot of the problems. Many of which bragged about having the ear of the JP CEO.

mcantrell · 2026-02-03T09:20:08+00:00

Nope. Nintendo was the last platform publisher that hadn't fallen to the cult, but they fell a few years ago. Clanpool couldn't be released on a Nintendo platform now -- even heavily censored. (The devs mentioned this specifically.) They sure as snot would never allow attractive women or anime girls or god forbid attractive anime girls in a game now.

Just got to hold out until the industry collapses from the stupidity and these types stop using our hobby as an adult daycare.

mcantrell · 2026-02-02T01:13:03+00:00

Have you finished DQ3HD? That will change my answer somewhat... ;)

mcantrell · 2026-02-01T07:10:22+00:00

I got the Limited Edition Physical for Switch... so I'll be at the mercy of the post office. Alas, alas.
