There are bad things happening with the Shining series right now.
Rumors: Sawada is now the leader of the series after the (sales) success of Shining Hearts.
He is prepairing a "celebration" for the Shining series 20th Anniversary. Things he would do on March, 29:
- erase all the pages about the original series at the Shining World Portal Site, along with a renewal of the page;
- cut Camelot from Shining forever;
- cut Shining Force SOS Campaign;
- cut the rest of the Japanese fans of the original series.
The rumors also says that Sawada would allow Camelot to celebrate the 20th of the Shining series if they want it. Same for Climax...
Sawada Tsuyoshi is laughing about the futile and smallest number of fans of the original series around the world, showing the number of people who is following that campaign on twitter to save the series. Someone asked about the original series games on the Virtual Console, he said he will not take it off, because its just like people "visiting the museum"...
If this Sawada chap wants to make comments about the SOS Campaign he can bloody well do it to me in person, and should probably read the Campaign site too as he has totally misunderstood the point and nature of it. I don't know why he thinks that the twitter account is the actual campaign.
I don't see how he can "cut Shining Force SOS Campaign" - how exactly is he going to stop us from sending our gifts and thanks to Camelot for their work on the original series? And exactly what does it have to do with him if we're celebrating Camelot's involvement with the original games?
What a total, utter wanker. Sorry. If I was in Japan I'd go and poo on his pillow.
Rant over ;) Obviously not directed at you, Storm.
Anyway, am also interested to hear where these extra Shining game titles have sprung up from?
Will have to make a backup of the Shining World portal in case this idiot goes ahead and erases the content relating to the games which made the series great in the first place.
I guess I should be flattered that folks on 2ch can't stop talking about this little lady from England ;) lol.
