tears to tiara 2 even got an actual US release. I've seen people who've played it and thought it was pretty good, and one guy even highly praising it, but the only active fandom participant is a guy who writes really gross fanfics. the rest just seemed to think it was a pretty good game and moved on.

the fact that we got the second game without the first is definitely a problem, though. im hoping we get the original game on steam or something.
