Now that I’ve finished working on my translation of the first chapter, it was suggested that I write a review of it as well. So, here we go! (The following notes and speculation might be a little disjointed.)

Thanks to a heads-up by Karasu on Twitter, it appears as though Sakaguchi Hironobu and his company Mistwalker may be bringing this game back from the dead after cancelling it back in 2008.
Just yesterday, December 26, he posted this video on YouTube! It certainly seems like they are back in action on this title!

In celebration of the DOD3 1st Anniversary and the corresponding contest, I asked my incredibly talented musician friend, Alphadeus, to work his magic on an original remix. This is his rendition of “Descendeus” from the original soundtrack.
Also, if you like what you hear, I suggest listening to some of his other original works, either on YouTube or on Bandcamp, at the links below. He rarely does cover/remixes, but his style is still very heavily influenced by video game music. You’ll also hear styles including space, new age, trance, electronica, chip tunes, and much, much more!!

This is a compilation of many frequently asked questions with my answers that I’ve posted on various message boards over the years.
** Also, please beware of spoilers. You should not read this if you have not yet completed through Branch D of the game. There may also be spoilers related to other works by Yoko Taro as well, such as the various manga series and Nier.
