Given all the approval my previous post got, I'm sticking with it. Third character is Crate Boss.

If it is not solved well, I think there will be significantly less backers for a possible Kickstarter in the future.
Actually, I believe the data shows that sequel Kickstarters tend to get lower backer numbers regardless of how well the previous does. And in any case, it was stated before that the hope is Bloodstained proves itself well enough that the Kickstarter process is unnecessary for any potential sequel(s).
Mr. Welldone, is it your assertion that Alfred was hiding inside the Crate Boss? We'd both be right if that's the case.

I'm gonna say it now since I've heard the third character is someone we won't see coming.
Third playable is Crate Boss.

This is totally serious and absolutely not in jest to get the strongest advocates between Alfred and Dominique at each others' throats metaphorically speaking.
Yep. Not at all. Really legit.

Gotta say, a lot of this "value" argument just strikes me as the same problem some people have with student debt forgiveness...if I had to pay it off, so should you!
EDIT: Yay, nigh-contextless page-topper!

Cale , first of all, the content STILL EXISTS. The lack of it excluding others does NOT invalidate its existence. You can be upset for the loss of the exclusivity, that's fine, but the CONTENT ITSELF still exists, regardless. (I'd also argue the Wii U edition is less gone and more replaced, but that's more accurate than the point about content). And while the public vote may have been a poor idea, even if it weren't open, I'm not convinced the result would have been that different. Shadowrun Returns put the question to its backers about making an exclusive quest for them and overall, most disagreed with the idea exclusivity (not all, of course). I even remember one of the devs saying after that they thought gamers were among some of the most generous folks around. Honestly though, I think that was less about trying to avoid excluding folks and more just being sick and tired about being "nickel and dimed" with multiple splittings of content among vendors (the very problem Angel-Corlux ran into which lead to the steelbooks). Regardless, I get the problem, I get how it can hurt. But removing the exclusivity does not remove the content. If you want to be upset about the original wording being rendered inaccurate, that's fine. But frankly, I'm all for inclusivity over exclusivity. And as the saying goes, "Men plan, God laughs." Expecting nothing to change from the original plan is usually an exercise in futility.

Saw this among the angry comments on Kickstarter: "Slipcase is inferior to Steel books."
Someone tell Mana she's got a fan who says her art is superior to Ayami Kojima's! If I remember well, there is a backer slipcase at 60 USD and Ayami Kojima slipcase at 100 USD reward. I think they are referring to the first one.
Shhhh, don't ruin it, let Mana bask in the unintentional praise!

I rather enjoyed the the preorder trailer. Neither the visuals or music were new, but as a whole, it felt refreshing.
Anyways, I really only have two questions (heh) about the included physical materials.
1. The Amano posters are their own thing (which I agree was the right call), but are the slipcases being included with the physical game copies or the later "almost everything else" shipment?
2. I don't see this answer posted in the forums (I think I had it answered in the Discord, so it should probably be posted here as well) - will the slipcases be able to fit over the FuturePak cases or will those be too large?
Honestly, since I'm getting a GOG copy, I may just wind up burning a DVD with all the DLC preloaded once it's all out and putting that in one case with the original physical copy in the other, but I figure clarification would be good for all.

I saw that, tav7623 . I just wasn't sure if it was two versions or different ending themes with the same name (since one specified being for the Normal Ending). XombieMike 's playlist has multiple ending themes collected from the various YouTube uploaders, none of which have the OST names for obvious reasons. Feel free to let us know how everything matches up.
Also, I would ask anyone with the album to consider uploading the Game Over music track to YouTube; it's the only one that was never available on its own as far as I could find.
EDIT: My memory has at last been sparked. To quote what I posted in the Shoutbox:
Oh, I got it; I remember now. It's the "intro" portion used in certain endings. The normal and bad endings use the same ending music, as do Nightmare and all runs save one ignoring all allies. HOWEVER, those runs add an introductory segment. That segment also leads into the ending music for a Zangetsu ignores all solo run which is a DIFFERENT ending theme. We didn't bother looking for that music for the various runs since that intro section was included with the "Nightmare's End" music. You can see examples of all those ending variants here. I remember talking to XombieMike about this back when the tracks were first being uploaded; it had just LONG slipped my mind in the time since. Going by what tav7623 said about the length difference, I presume After the Nightmare is (obviously) the version used when completing Nightmare Mode while After the Nightmare -Normal End ver.- is the one you get for the various alternate Zangetsu endings.

<raises an eyebrow> Forty-ONE tracks? XombieMike , either we missed something other than just the Game Over music or there's a bonus/alternate track on that thing.

Quite; Grant is FAR more viable in the FDS version relative to the NES version.
You think we should make Warren Ellis play that version and see if it improves his opinion of the character?
