| I never played Kantai Collection, but I'm willing to. Why is Kadokawa Games preventing us overseas audience to play their game? |
| Apparently the game is only available for users who live in Japan. the game is region locked in Japan so it is not accessible for anyone who is outside of japan. to play this game you either have to use VPN or proxy to bypass it. i heard from community saying that Kadokawa Games don't mind foreigners playing the game. but on the site of DDM (The site that hosted Kancolle) seems to have some strict policy regarding outsiders playing kancolle. if you ever get banned they will copy paste a message saying you broke one of their rules and that it. they don't care and will not reply much to you since you are one of the outsiders the game is great by the way, but it is not available in English. and those who are playing right now are always at risk of getting banned since we are not playing the game in Japan and are using proxies to bypass it |

Even Grisaia has had to turn to kickstarter to get localized on steam. Perceived western popularity is a tricky thing. Kancolle reminds me of the Dragon Ball Z mmo that people still play to this day. People wondered for years and years when it would come the the US and it just never did, despite Dragon Ball Z being popular as fuck here and selling console games like crazy. |

Shikihime Garden got an english release and is going probably fine (since it didn't shut down yet). I can't see how Kancolle wouldn't do well if open for a Global scale. |

| Chances of the game releasing to western audience is extremely low, you can already see they are blocking IP from outside of japan which is why people like us use proxy to play 0.0 i've never enjoyed playing card games anyway, but this is the first thing that caught my attension. its a great game for people who like online strategy stimulation game. anyway several players have asked them whether or not playing the game as foreigner will be banned, game developers said they do not mind and heres DMM response: http://www.himeuta.net/f5-kancolle-discussion/2452-official-response-dmm-foreigners.html |

| So the IP block is just them covering their ass in case of Shitkesian starts attacking the Japanese gaming industry, it makes sense and not really surprising. |
|
| Their logic is quite simple. First, having a truck full of Western weeaboos crowd an already strained server is the last thing that DMM wants. The game is hugely popular in Japan to the point where registration through a lottery system is required, and the servers are constantly full (sometimes lagging during the start of seasonal events). It's incomprehensible why they would add more players to a game that doesn't lack players. Second, as it is a F2P game, they make most of their revenue from in-game purchases which require DMM points obtainable only through a Japanese credit card or some other loophole method. It's safe for them to assume that Westerners will spend less than Japanese gamers on a predominantly Japan-based game, so it's pointless to cater any of the precious spots to Westerners as it indirectly translates to less income. Lastly, if you have ever played the game, the references and hints are blatant. Like wow Hime-class "Hellcat" fighters, it's like they aren't even trying to hide it anymore. The game stays in the East because people in the East can appreciate a work of art without dragging antiquated ideals from the last century into mix. Should this ever come to the West, there'll undoubtedly be good ol' 'muricans blinded by their own incompetence raising hell over why such a game is allowed to exist in the current era. Hell why not. There's already delusional feminists raging incoherently about how JRPGs sexualize women, and how the entire industry is a step back for their so-termed "equality" between the sexes. And omake ni I hope the series never makes it here. Western weeaboos will ruin the fuck out of anything that comes to its shores. If someone wants to play kancolle that badly, there's nothing stopping him/her from jumping through the hoops and finding a way like tons of other people who are playing right now from oversees, instead of raging on forums complaining that it's not prepped, catered and spoon-fed to Westerners in Engrish. Not wanting to just means you don't want it enough. Yes I plan to import the VITA version as soon as preorders go up. I swear to god if I'm ever forced to see my waifu Haruna-chan in the form of some abominable fatocalpyse of a weeaboo parading around cons... |
| When I was in japan i seen this game played in every arcade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuyhevJ--fw It was too hard for me :D I managed to play some shooters, driving games and other ;] there was also final fantasy arcade and dragoon ball too ;] |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
