   This might be too early for any word on the matter, but I figure it would be fun to talk up Deathsmiles for now.

   example: Would like soundtrack released in alternate art box.

   ^ This.

   Also, did anyone besides me like the Japanese LE boxart?

   Can't forget merchandise like the DS underwear in Cave's store, lol.

   Indeed they did. Both items. Numerous times.

   Yea, I absolutely love the JP LE artwork.

   With that said, since I own it and the arrange soundtrack that came with it. I would really like to see a super-play DVD or a t-shirt with this release.

   I suggest casper pants.

   

   But seriously, I don't know. The OST fetches high prices now. There's a lot of telephone cards but those don't attract buyers in the west. People have told me that the current LE's soundtrack was fairly average. Drama CDs are out, and dakimakura are expensive.

   I would buy the western version instantly if it came with the bed sheets.

   Most shmup users don't care for this kind of thing though. So I can only think of a superplay dvd or some variation of.

   Lol. I'll admit, I would've never expected things like that to make it to a Retail LE like that. It definitely makes your release truly unique unlike other game's LEs (at least in NA).

   <3 the reference to the underwear. Should put that in the suggestion box for Deathsmiles LE.

   Those are cute. Maybe now my suggestion of lingerie as a bonus item will be closer to a possibility ;)

   Buh? Well, I heard the OST (I think it's the same one that was in the LE) it's one of the best I've heard in a awhile. It even has Bach's Toccata. Maybe that's just me.

   This is gonna sound crazy but DeathSmiles also has mousepads
   There's even one of Casper!
   mousepad
   There's also this flayer that can be found on back of the cabinets

   You know what, I'll just throw these out here to snowball an idea or two:
   postcard set
   original soundtrack
   artbook
   custom stick
   posters
   1
   2
   clear files
   1
   2
   postcards
   pillow cases
   straps
   stand
   notepad
   drama cds
   stickers

   these are official art that are too adorable to not share

   3
   4

   official site
   Going trough these I came to the conclusion that Rosa looks a little like Noba and Follett looks like Gail. I can see it now!

    Is the localized version going to have Japanese voice acting?
    Or at least the option for it?

    If not, maybe the LE could have something like this:

    The LE came with an arrange CD, not the OST.

    For a possible Deathsmiles limited edition, I'd like a "3d mousepad". Those are still a fairly new item in the west.

    The limited edition for Record of Agarest War attracted a lot of attention because of the mousepad and maybe the box art.

    Attention for mostly unheard games like this is a good thing. I'll admit, I didn't know about RoAW until I saw pics of the limited edition set. I've decided to buy it ever since.
    
    A pillow case in the LE would be nice too. I sleep with a leg pillow so why not sleep in style right? Plus, I think it would be great that Aksys could be the first to introduce the craziness that is pillow cases here in the west.

    PLEASE NOTE, IF YOU INCLUDE A DS PILLOWCASE YOU MUST ABSOLUTELY INCLUDE THE RACHEL PILLOWCASE FEATURED IN THE CURRENT ISSUE OF ARCADIA FOR THE LIMITED EDITION RELEASE OF BLAZBLUE CONTINUUM SHIFT.

    I like that poster too. Isn't that the same artwork used for the cover of the DS OST?

    I say they need to include a poster, and another pillowcase. I have been wanting to get the poster for a while now, but with the possibility of getting one in the L.E. I will wait. I was about to spend $100 on just a poster lol.

    A pillowcase would be cool too if it was a hug pillow size and included two characters (I say Casper and Windia), however they are usually VERY expensive in Japan (around 10,000 yen which is around $100 USD!). A art book would be nice also considering I own the Limited Edition of Deathsmiles (from Japan) and I don't really enjoy the soundtrack. Its just not a soundtrack like BlazBlue, and I dont think that is what most people get that post on here are getting. I did enjoy the alternate cover too. It was a nice touch and is easily do-able like how BlazBlue and Record of Agarest War are getting.

    Oh and Daethsmiles Boxors/underwear... highly unlikely guys lol. Oh and dont count on a Deathsmiles figure. There was I believe only one released in Japan (it was Casper) and it cost over $100.

    And I believe that was a resin/garage kit figure, so I don't think it's even official.

    I also have to agree with everyone so far about the alternate LE box art, it's smexy.
    A poster is cool, but man, I'm hanging on to my hopes about the underwear!
    Oh, how about a demo of the sequel? That would be cool.

    My suggestions are as follows:
    Use the art from the Japanese LE's cover for the US version, or at least put it on the disc cover. The Japanese disc was a dull grey and white.

    Include the soundtrack with preorders, because that would a great incentive!

    Put a one stage demo on Live so more people will beware of how awesome this game is.

    My last suggestion is a far shot; but I would to see a faceplate since the artwork is so great.

    Thanks for listening Aksys :-)

    The disc was made that one because many discs are made with the art printed like that in Japan. Come to think if it the only ones I own that are not really printed like that are IDOLM@STER (and the sequel) and N3. That is probably because its cheaper to print that way.

    Also I believe faceplates are actually no longer produced in the United States. For some reason they are still printed for Japanese games though (such as the Espgaluda II First Print Limited Edition).

    I second the faceplate idea.
    My 360 is seriously lacking in the loli department.

    Funny how you guys brought the faceplates up. I was browsing through the official blog of (I think) one of the developers:

    I have no idea if these are official or fanmade or whatnot, so don't get your hopes up - just thought it was cool that someone at Cave had them!

    Should probably mention that I was actually looking through their blog to see more info on this awesome DeathSmiles skeleton charm/keychain:

    Just got mine with an eyepatch!

    Nice find. The Casper one looks really nice. I would buy two copies of this game for it.

    It would be awesome if there was a LE for this game. I'd like to see:

    - Slipcover (using Japanese LE artwork as cover)
    - Steel Book Case
    - Soundtrack on CD
    - Black Edition content (Not sure if it's already in the game)
    - Pillowcase
    - Art Book

    I'm not sure about the Black Edition content is included in the standard edition. If anyone can confirm this for me, thanks.
