Wow, a remake. Didn't see that coming. I'm so out of the loop when it comes to visual novels. Would be great if Aksys localized it but it's not like I'd ever get to play it regardless since it's on the 360.
I've been trying to get a hold of the English version of this game for some time but the only versions available are the ones on Amazon and they don't do international shipping.
I guess I should be glad I could at least import 999. :<

I recently finished playing through 999, and was totally amazed. One of my pals (Neal Chandran @ RPGFan) told me he wasn't at all surprised the game was so good, since it came with Uchikoshi-san's pedigree. I asked what he meant, and he pointed me to Ever17... a game I'd heard of, and knew the music for (I follow Takeshi Abo and everything from KID for its music). But I had no idea there was a connection between 999 and Ever17.
So I came here to make a thread begging for the game: lo and behold, people already realize what an absolutely awesome idea this is.
Fact: Aksys has taken risks on localizing less interesting, less enjoyable titles for the same console (see: Agarest). This is a NO-BRAINER, Aksys! Whatever the cost, you simply must localize this!
Thanks!

I recently finished 999 and found out on this forum about Ever17. I am currently playing the PC version and that is already fantastic. I hope Aksys decides to release this VN on the 360 in NA (and at least makes it region-free for Europeans).
I would easily import the NA version and buy a second European release for sure!
Check this game out if you can!

Is it wrong that I check this thread almost daily for new replies, and/or admission from Aksys that they're looking into this?No. No it's not wrong. It is my solemn duty as a fanboy.
Of course it's not wrong. I'm doing the same thing myself. My thoughts are the same as yours, as I'm really hoping that this game does get picked up by Aksys and is released.

So I got my older brother to play through 999, get true ending, etc. He really loved it. I also wrote this insane four-part article at my personal-ish blog about 999 and how badly Ever17 and/or a 999 sequel needs to come to the US. Said older brother is totally with me on this.

Anyway, thanks Aksys for turning me into an official obsessee for 999. Now I MUST have Ever17!!!!
It'd be great for localization. And since you don't have that much games on you at the moment, could we see it next please?
