So, we should all know by now about the Kickstarter and the poll. Needless to say it's awesome that English fans are finally getting official recognition. Not only that, but we have some very cool potential options to choose from for the original trilogy's remake and release.

First thing I voted for was more Muv-Luv translations in the future. As much as I want to play the 2011 Kimi ga Nozomu Eien game for Mitsuko, I'd much rather have the rest of the franchise. Seems like most people agree, judging by the 75% vote.

Obviously the list of potential upgrades were tough. The main thing I disliked about Alternative was, despite the fact it was a strong story overall, it deviated from the original formula and largely was a Kinetic novel (perhaps due to budget, or maybe that's just what Kouki wanted). So I went with actual routes to be added, though I'm not sure how far that would go considering the 'expanded dialogue' part is only a maybe (How else would you make a proper route without adding new lines, right?). The new illustrations are awesome in TDA so of course I'd love to see the art properly updated, and a lot of the TSF action scenes could benefit from it too. 

And my last choice came down to a physical copy of Integral Works and in-game lore, to more cinematics and TSF CGI. I went with the TSF CGI, mainly because I felt the TSF battle scenes, while admirably choreographed, were not nearly as awesome as they could be. But, it looks like for right now a lot of people want the CG gallery and skip-to-last-choice functionality, which I'm not really surprised by.

I'm guessing that some of the less-voted for or ambitious features listed will end up being stretch goals for the kickstarter down the line.

And of course, I voted for an anime over the translation release of Kimi Nozomu. The anime will last forever, and eventually Nozomu will fall away into obscurity as most games do.

What did you guys choose? Anything else you noticed or stood out to you as interesting?
