I seriously doubt that Natsume has the resources, the budget, or the WILLINGNESS to fix any of the game-breaking bugs....Or even any of the minor bugs, ala Atlus' release of Arcana Heart.Since there isn't much text in Umihara Kawase, this is sounding very much like a quick "grab the license, churn out a few copies a short while later, then wait for the next Harvest Moon/Rune Factory to bring in some real money." Kinda like XS Games' releases of the Shikigami series.I hope I'm wrong. I'd gladly pay full price for this game if I could be.
