Little Busters EX (Ecstasy)
The march issue of Dengeki G’s magazine has a staff interview with the Key staff revealing some details about the upcoming eroge Little Busters EX (where EX stands for Ecstasy). They had apparently already decided on making the adult version when they first started work on Little Busters.
The main points in the interview were:
- The chairman asked to let him use some of his business tactics during the meeting where they started the Little Busters project.
- “Ecstasy” was Maeda Jun’s idea, he came up with the name immediately after the idea of an adult version was put forward by the chairman and everybody loved it.
- Current progress is 30% and they plan to finish writing the scenario by February.
- The new heroines Sasami and Kanata will not join the mini-games and their stories will be put into the game in a way that will not break the original storyline.
- They also briefly described how the H scenes for each character will be like.
- There will be new mini-games and BGM, but they’re not sure if they can fit everything into a single DVD.
- There will be a really big extra that will be hidden in the game.
- Everybody was saying that the separate routes in Little Busters was pretty weak, so they plan to add one more emotional scenario in EX.
- There will be some minor tweaks to problem areas in the storyline.

The chairman sounds suspiciously like he’s from Circus! I hope they won’t start announcing 10 more Little Busters games and fandisks.
Also I wonder how Sasami and Kanata can enter the story with the NPC / PC system that was established in the storyline.

Please lord no… As much as I’d hate to I’d completely give up on Key if they go this route and release 2~3 more different versions or spin offs of Little Busters!….

EX for ecstasy?
Maeda will never give on ero.

Maybe Key fans will get their own version of Sasara to enjoy.

EX for Ecstasy sounds a hell of a lot better than XRATED.
