Little Busters EX
Info from the new issue of Push!! magazine
- All they can reveal at this point about the new minigame is that it’s related to how Saya is a spy that’s after the school’s secret treasure and there’s something underground under the school.
- Saya is a spy and moves alone a lot and basically only interacts with the main character. Tennen boke tsundere.
- Text is 1.4 times as much as the original and voice data has increased by a lot, hence the need for 2 DVDs.
- 10 new tracks for the music.
- Some characters have new scenarios, especially Kudo and Haruka.
- All the new heroines have their own endings.
- Kanata’s scenario will come after the end of Haruka’s scenario so her attitude will be very different.
- Little Busters EX has been worked on since September last year.
- Schedule has been really tight, especially Na-Ga who had to work on both the new character and a sub character that became a main character.
- No plans for a console port of the game, because the mini game will be hard to do on the PS2.
- The guy that was originally supposed to write the scenario is really packed right now so Maeda started writing again.
- They’ve got a lot of outside help this time, especially with the mini games.
- The baseball part has also changed, they talk more now and more characters are added*
- There will be ways for people that have already played the original to only play the newly added parts immediately.
- They’ve put in effort on the H scenes, up to three H scenes for some characters.
- H scenes are not written by Maeda but by Shirokiri, Maeda tried his hand with H scenes before in Tomoyo After but it didn’t work out at all.
- Kinniku sensation ending will be powered up
- Tonogawa is already working on Rewrite (current progress 5%)
- Still undecided if Rewrite will be 18+ or all ages, they’ll follow whatever the chairman decides
- Orito Shinji is looking for a disciple
- They haven’t decided what they’ll do for Key’s 10 year anniversary
*They originally said that new characters aren’t going to get involved in the baseball mini game but we’ll pretend they never said that
