The blog shouldn't have it. I have read everything on it and I don't ever remember seeing even just a telephone card being mentioned. Usually it's, like you said, about the media (including hint booklets). But yeah, that blog is excellent in general.

But C94 was after the Rance X release even. So people should have bought tons then and as the engagement with the series dies down, the price should decline...rather than shoot up like that. One of the Vantage Master is completely free at least. So if it's only digital you care about, that's something already. The Sorcerians are the easiest ones to find (new). I also remembered I saw the DVD version before but the shrinkwrap was so meh that I didn't buy it. I actually also have VM Japan (limited edition). I have all the Legend of Heroes ports, even the elusive Shin Legend of Heroes which is a windows port of the first game in that series. For some reason, I don't think there was a port of the second one. After that, I also own III, IV and V. The only things I'm missing in that regard is the limited edition of III and V. Just like with Alicesoft (although that one has more information), I have an Excel document of the things I'm still missing when it comes to Falcom. Not too interested in the non-PC (IBM-compatible PC that is, don't really care about consoles) games but I might expand into that eventually. Second-hard copies should be really easy to find, considering I found mine new. Well, it depends on what you call "more attention". Anything old and new and base price + 20% is "normal" for me. Anything above that goes into "more attention" territory for me. As for collecting Japanese games in general...not really doing that. I got the archives for old Japanese PCs and I would certainly be interested in Japanese IBM-compatible games but for the moment, it has basically 0 priority.

Hehe. The main issue with the existing translations is always that there are a lot of spelling and grammatical errors as well as technical ones which you guys often fix which I really appreciate. The former ones may hurt the eyes but the latter one can prevent access to a part of the game (dialogue etc). The thing is, I must have found it somehow but it's weird that it's not mentioned anywhere. And 4chan and the like don't really archive? Ah, I wish I had downloaded the already done translations (I think at least I and II were finished) or bookmarked it. Also, when it comes to finding websites again. On the day I looked for hours and hours, I stumbled upon some website that listed Alice-chan in all the other Alicesoft games until...2013/2014(?) and also included picture of her there. I thought "nice" but moved along. The next day I thought that I better bookmark it and looked through the browsing history...and I couldn't find it. I checked every single Japanese website I visited that day (90% it was Japanese) and also looked at all the URLs, including the waybachmachine stuff I looked through before, but nope, I couldn't find it again. Maybe I'm cursed with not being able to find websites again in general T_T

At least for ordering new games. I remember their old store having nothing interested aka only merchandise etc for newer games. Hm, clearly a devious plan to turn our PCs into some kind of Rance bot (network) with which he will penetrate other networks, hehe.
