What amount would you be really happy at?

Postby Benwah » Fri Jul 17, 2015 2:52 pm

just to get this out of the way, I know that ideally we want to get as much raised as possible, but this thread isn't about that.

I've been looking at the stretch goals and I honestly think that if we managed to reach $7.5m I would be ecstatic. It would mean that we would basically be able to have hat would seem like a full game. Having stretch goals for the other areas, while nice, isn't totally necessary in my opinion. The team will usebeable to re-produce the same games and things like that from the first village so while not being as 'complete' as we may have hoped for the world shouldn't feel too barren either.

I'd just really like to see as complete a battle system as possible, those are the stretch goals that seem the most exciting now apart from maybe the Magic Maze, which doesn't really seem possible.

So what figure would make you absolutely over the moon?

as much as possible obviously, but anything over 6 million will make me super happy!

I won't be happy until Yu Suzuki has all of the money.

Generally as much as possible of course. At least every strech goal reached and possibly much more to make the game as big and good as possible.

Given the circumstances right now I'm happy when it reaches the 6 million mark and maybe climb up one more spot of the list of most funded projects by getting to about $6.23 million. Everything beyond that is just awesome bonus.

I still can’t believe that we’re reaching $6 million, to be honest; a week ago, we weren’t even sure we’d hit $5M.

Truthfully, I’m already happy as is, but, realistically, like the OP, I’d be ecstatic if we could reach all of the Free Battle goals ($7.5M).

Regarding the Magic Maze…well…I’m hoping that post-KS Paypal options + newly-secured investors can take us there (I think it’s possible).

Pretty pleased that we're on lock for $6 million. Everyone in the doom and gloom brigade thought we'd max out at $4.8 million.

If they open up the possibility for increasing pledges after the Kickstarter I I'll definitely upping my total amount. My ego wants me to be prominently featured in the game, unfortunately my bank balance won't allow it at the minute.

Was already completely happy with 5 million. Beating bloodstained was beyond expectations. Now, anything is beyond my wildest dreams.

For me, it was $6M because I think an improved battle system would be awesome. Of course ultimately I want them to have all the moneyz. Give the campaign a little bit of time to settle, then open a Paypal page!

Anything over 6m would be fantastic since we'd get the advance free battle.

47 million :lol:

Seriously though, when this began I predicted it would end between 5.5 mil and 6... and it seems that it will surpass my expectations, so I'm more than happy with the outcome. But it's not over until the money is actually transferred to YsNet. So let's keep pushing here in the home stretch

6 is fine so long as YS Net continues to raise money via Paypal and other means on their site.

I hope we end up around 6,2 million. That means we have a safe buffer for possible payments that don't go through or things like unexpected higher shippings costs for rewards etc.

Obviously I would be happy if it 10 million. The reality is I'm glad its at what its at. I really just wanted it to beat bloodstained to atleast show how important it is to the fans. I think its going to be over 6 million. They've said they have outside funds from the kickstarter so I think we get the game that Yu Suzuki envisions.
