I fail to see how gai's cancellation is a good thing sadly. It didn't really make an impact.
Still it was pretty exciting to hear about at the time.

Today I interviewed Yu Suzuki and he denied that the game was cancelled he said that the game's first season or chapter had ended and now chapter 2 was about to start.

That's very interesting. A sign that things might be going good, if they've been given the greenlight to expand on the game.

Wait, really! All right! Well not alright but I just hope that this could have at least a western release now since the first season is over. Hell, they might even revamp the game in the second season to make it actually play like a game.

Well I actually asked him about the game having an international release and he avoided the question, so who knows... may be we have to wait for official confirmation...

I'm confused. The official announcement to the players of the game didn't imply the continuation of the game at all. They just announced the termination of the service. I wonder if the players got another announcement. :???:

I know, but when I asked about the service going down he looked like he didn't understand what I meant and then he said: Aaaaahhhh... no no, first chapter is ending and then starts the next, but it's not going down...

The interview is out. Perhaps it is time to edit your original post and the title of the topic?

Yu-san said the service for the feature phones will be ceased as the players were notified.
So, the topic title is correct about the current service for the feature phones, and it's not sure
when the game will come back for the smart phones.

I may have to make the topic title more specific, though.
