They really need to release the DLC for this game as it includes extra characters and costumes. As of now they're selling an incomplete game.

You can import clear save from Agarest1 to Zero, clear save from Zero to Agarest2 not the other way around, so trying import save from Agarest1 to Agarest2 won't work. Clear Save is special one done after you beat the game, normal saves taken from unfinished campaign won't work.

I still hate the fact that they removed Ellis DLC for this game though as it was free addon coming with base game, she has even mini-games and bit of story.

If it's free why they removed it from GOG version :S It's really unacceptable .

So this is the american censored versiion? is the STEAM version censored also?

Which to my understanding is actually the European PS3 version, right? The American PS3 version isn't censored, go figure.

It's obvious answer, not like they censored it on purpose, just used inferior one for port. ;P

Yeah, I really liked FF7 when I was 14 or whenever it was, but it wasn't really that great, and it was one of the first steps in the upward trend of needlessly long in-fight cutscenes. FF8 was the giant leap immediately afterward, and that game pretty much made me bored of every FF except for Tactics from then on. I was more than burnt out by then on the farm-to-win, cutscenes, and zomg-derpy-puzzle-bossfight mechanics.

So, on a scale from 1 to 10, how creepy and gross is the lingering harem anime flavor of this one? Massive Chalice was boring as crap, but at least they were a zero on that scale, mostly because they used models that looked like they were from 2004, but also because of there being no gender skew. Sadly, that game also had boring-as-hell fog-of-war aggro creeping as the ongoing strategy from when I started playing to when I couldn't bear it any longer. I just wish I could like this one, but I get the feeling that I'd mostly just feel dirty and sad playing it.

They didn't remove it from GOG specifically; they removed it from the PC version (try searching on Steam for censorship).

That is going right on the Favorites list.

SPOILERS!
(lol half joke, half true)

Uhm... I only had a quick look at that list but it doesn't seem correct.

The banana scene is definitely in the game (you don't have to take my word for it you can look up Agarest 2 Super Ecchi Banana event on youtube if you want to see it).
Of the hot spring scenes only very few were "cut", so far I found confirmation about one image cut out and rumors about two others being changed, but couldn't find more details and as there are quite a few hotspring images in the game I haven't found the time to compare them all with the Japanese version.

I have no clue which monster attack scene with Fiona is supposedly removed, I believe they're all in there, but then again I'm not through with the game yet and a big part of my knowledge is based on youtube videos.

True is that the massage minigame does not contain Fiona in Generation 1 and 2 because she's a child then, in Generation 3, when she's an adult, you can massage her.
You still get the stats you need though in G1 and G2, so it does not hinder your progress in the game at all.
So, if a player really wants to massage an 11yo old girl, including her breasts, to give her "ecstasy time" and increase the romance level with her, he/she will need to get the uncensored Japanese version.

There's one thing worse than DRM. Censored games like this :-/

While I want to support Japanese games coming to the PC, I am opposed to DRM, censorship, and incomplete products.
