Live2D Cubism Editor 2.1 is no longer available for sale.

In the DLC store page you wrote this:
"You will have to purchase Live2D 2.1 from their official website and use their software...."

.... except Live2D 2.1 is no longer available for sale. You may want to correct the DLC store description.

You can still download the Free version on this page: http://www.live2d.com/en/download
(scroll down a bit to download the old version)
But the PRO License for 2.1 is not available for sale. Live2D 3.0 now is subscription only.

Thanks for the info, I downloaded v2.1 and will give it a try. I find it strange that an old 2.1 is used with VN but they have v3 on the site. Do you know what is the difference between v2.1 and 3? I tried the comparison page on Live2d and i'm getting error.

I've been using Live2D 2.1 prior 3.0 release for a year. It's mostly a major improvement in workflow and efficiency. Any new users to 3.0 maybe will not notice the difference, but to me adapting to new 3.0 editor allows me to work faster.

Does not mean the old editor is unusable tho, I'd recommend any beginners to start with Live2D 2.1 because the vast amount of tutorials in Youtube and their English manual is more complete than the new manual which mostly still in Japanese.
Once you get a grasp on how Live2D works, you may take the next step to Live2D 3.0.

Live2D 3 was just recently released in April this year so any software tools which implements Live2D mostly still using the old 2.1 SDK. It might take some time until the new SDK 3.0 adaptation is widely spread.

Also, another reason why Live2d 3.0 isn't implemented in VNM yet was they just released their WebGL support which was only a few days before release, there's just no time to implement it in.
