Her belly looks awfully big in that first pic.

Is there something more to this whole "taking care of Ion" thing than they're telling us...?

Pretty sure that it only looks big because of the angle and her pose.

Big or not Ion is sexy!

[Daverost]

Aphrah delivers.

Ion Jr and Aoto III.

If only the game wasn't mainly DLC-based, I'd be excited and really ask NISA to do it.

You live in Scandinavia or Polen, where no NIS DLC has been released since February 29 2012 or so?

NISA don't give EU Limited Edition and kinda doubt US is easy to port to EU account.

The more I hear about this game, the more I'm sure that this game won't come here...

The game doesn't have a platinum trophy, for those that like trophies:

Wait, is this a retail title with DLC scenarios or is it all DLC?

Retail title with DLC scenarios, but other retail titles have been released without platinum trophies before, like Touch My Katamari and Lumines.

The final nail in the coffin. ;-;

Has there been any word on the length of the game? If it's true that DLC chapters are planned each month (with the retail game wrapped in a fancy package but consisting of only one chapter), the monetization strategy could well be in the same vein as Ridge Racer Vita or any episodic mobile game series.

Coupled with the online requirement, this just isn't a direction that I favor. I'm okay with DLC if they're non-essential additions to an already meaty, self-contained game (and it's even better if several DLCs are later compiled into an updated "Game of the Year Edition"). However, it sounds as if the retail product is a mere slice of the intended experience.

I know, right? NISA could do the game DD-only, it'd make sense, but other than that, I don't want the game anymore.
