Hmmm, maybe what we can do is just carry on as usual, as in come up with ideas, work on them and post them here for all to read. We can at the same time ask someone with good Nihongo to tell Mamare about Animesuki's LogHora community.
”橙乃先生～”
”？”
”これ見て～”
*adds link*.
In other words, just notify him about this horde of crazy people over here that like (or might not really like but still like to argue over) LogHora. Whether he will come over or not is up to him, but at least the awareness would be there =3

Have it replaced the ' bard' as a proper archer class for the NA servers. |

Yeah, that sounds good. Though the loss of the bard class saddens me. Perhaps we can fuse the two? With gunslingers being ranged-centered bards?

One thing to consider about replacing the Bard with Gunslinger is that the Bard is mainly a support character not too unlike the Enchanter. The permanent support song is perhaps her main feature, supportive skills that remain in effect until switch with another. A Bard can learn up to 15 such songs, of which 10 are already available to even characters below level 30, and can have two supportive songs up at the same time. In other words, the Paladin's Auras from Diablo 2, with a musical theme. Replacing such an interesting support class just to have a pure ranged attacker is imho a great pity.
In terms of ranged attackers, the Assassin can in fact fill in that role pretty well. There's in fact a ranged Assassin in Marielle's Crescent Moon Alliance (the Foxtail fellow with the crossbow) and the spin-off manga Honey Moon Log
once showed him using a ranged Assassinate.
I would say that if the Gunslinger is to replace any class, it should be the Assassin instead of the Bard. Or even the Swashbuckler: we can have the 'Slinger deal ranged damage that comes with anomalies (FFA Gunner with more firepower) and dual-wielding gunners at the same time
Or easiest of all, just add Gunslinger to the list of subclasses. Now you can be both at the same time
Btw, I once read from the PTT bulletin board that Mamare has planned the Pirate and the Medium/Spirit-talker for the American servers. Can anyone help confirm this? =D
