Princess Maker 4!

[rincewind]

I'm happy for PM5, but I really want to have the 4th one in Steam!

The rights for Princess Maker 4 are hold by another company right now. I guess they could not get the license. And honestly, PM 4 is not that great, its VERY simplified and streamlined.
It has very nice artwork but thats about it.

Also if you want it for the possible "Yuri" endings, those are not in the PC version, only on PSP.

As far as I know they're on the PC version. Except in the chinese version.

I played multiple times through the Japanese PM4 on PC. Never seen them while i got them easily on PSP.

Not directly, no. But PM4 is the only game not directly made by Gainax, instead by the developer GeneX who also has the licensing rights for the game outside of Japan.
So i highly suspect this is why they skipped 4 and gone straight to 5.
But i may be wrong of course.

Actually, I played the 4th game in PC and I got the "Yuri" endings there.

But, PM4 may have been the most VNesque game out of the 5 but I still would have wanted to have a 'proper' english release for it so the fact that they can't get the rights really blows, if that's the reason.

OK , then i must be remembering it wrong. Thanks for the correction. Has been a few years since i played PM 4 and the last few times only on PSP.

I too desire them to bring 4 over

I hope the company that does have the rights to #4 can bring it over to Steam, so they can show how a proper English translation is done. XP

The PC version of PM4 defnitely has friendship endings for the girls, at least. But since I've only been able to play it via machine translation it's always been hard to judge the level of subtext.

It's simpler and there's no RPG mode but it's SO CUTE.

Mhmm but nobody has claimed the "english" translation rights so far so there is stil hope I guess
Not sure how the rights stuff works but pretty sure you can get the rights for just a specific language translation

I hope it manages to come out this way :D

[emilyperry1993]

I also hope Princess Maker 4 comes to steam. I hope they can get the license as I've loved playing the DS version of the game.

Please I really need Princess Maker 4

I was hoping Princess Maker 4 would come out next, but Princess Maker 5 is probably a better choice, at is very large, and good, and has elements of both a modern setting with fantasy elements.
In original Japanese articles on Famistu and 4Gamer.net for the relase of Princess Maker 2, they say that the intent was to havie a joint collaboration between Gainax and CFK for releasing all 5 games on Steam. As far as I know, this is still on track.
Now this is just my assumption, but the publishing rights are listed to both the companies Gainax and CyberFront (now closed). The developer, GeneX, that everyone keeps mentioning, I'm not sure what's going on with them, but they havne't put out a game since 2007, and they have no current webpage, you have to go to a web archiver to find the page that was updated in July 2011.
Again, this is just my assumption, influenced by the fact that I hope this is the case, but Gainax is the only company involved with Princess Maker 4 that hasn't closed down, and they probably were the ones that owned the rights in the first place seing as it was their series and they comissioned these companies to help create PM4, so Princess Maker 4 is probably on the way, but we probably won't know until we get either an announcement right before release.
