It can, but it won't. They've moved on and no modder is going to pay the insane fees needed for voice acting.I stopped to "that's not gonna happen" sorry. Anything can happen (Like Sora in Smash)
You could just get the SB patch version.

So you're just not interested in hearing the unfortunate truth, got it. Moving on, just like Illusion already has.Stopped at "it can". Thank you. I know it can

So you have the answers for everything, huh? You know what will happen in the future, right? Tomorrow will be a sunny day, is that it? I see how you are. Bro you know nothing as much as i do. Anyone can decide to take actions on anything whenever the time or day. Maybe our little conversation has already lighten somebody's mind and is currently working on it. Until the game is alive and people are still breathing, anything is possible. So get out of here with your "unfortunate truth" and stop acting like you know everything smh
It's obvious that they won't touch it, they never go back this late. Actually, yeah, tomorrow will be sunny somewhere in the world. I know how Illusion works not because I know the future, but because I know their past. They have only ever gone back twice and it has never been after this long and without reason. The last time they went back coincided with the release of Honey Select 2 and that was only to apply a compatibility update so that people could use their AI Shoujo characters in Honey Select 2, they knew AI Shoujo was a mess and, instead of fixing it, they bridged it with Honey Select 2, sending the message to stop using AI Shoujo because they won't fix it. Illusion doesn't pay attention to pirates, they know we exist, but they ONLY focus on their legitimate customers in Japan and on Steam. I'm not acting, I DO know they won't be coming back to this game. Their history says they won't.

![[BR] Better Repack R11.png](https://attachments.f95zone.to/2021/10/1465739_BR_Better_Repack_R11.png "[BR] Better Repack R11.png")
Due to the need to patch BepInEx 5.3 plugins to BepInEx 5.4 format, initial/first launch will take longer than usual. This is a one time thing, until plugins are updated for the new format.
(Contains the full JP game, so not meant to be applied to another installation)
If you have trouble starting the game, start the game once through the launcher (InitSetting.exe), this will check for errors and fix them as well before starting the game.
As of R2.3 you can update the sideloader modpack (clothing mods etc) from the launcher. Just press the icon in the lower left corner of the launcher with the arrow to check for updates. I'm updating that more often than the main pack, so should get some updates there every so often
This is the readme for the pack, detailing the contents:
Code:
Release 11 // 09.10.2021
<--------------------->
No donations // no ad-maze // no upfront payment
If you paid for this, you were scammed!
If you like the game, please buy it!
If you enjoy the mods, please consider donating to the modders on patreon where possible.
This pack is made with a up2date base game as of 30.10.2019, along with the components listed in credits, all up2date as of the release date of this pack. Some extras have been included, but are either easily removable or are sorted into folders marked [OPTIONAL]. Enjoy!
To add shortcuts to your desktop of the launcher and the most important folders for the game, feel free to run '[BR] Create Desktop Icons.bat'.
If you have trouble starting the game, start the game once through the launcher (InitSetting.exe), this will check for errors and fix them as well before starting the game.
[B]IF YOU'RE MOVING FROM ANOTHER REPACK:[/B]
I don't recommend just extracting this over another repack, due to potential conflicts. Please extract this to its own folder and move over your chara, cap, studio and save folders.
[B]WANT A VANILLA PACK?[/B]
If you wish to convert this pack into a vanilla pack, there is a included script named '[BR] Vanillify the game.bat' that gives you the following options:
1. Remove only translation, leaving the rest of the mods intact
2. Remove all BetterRapack Extras
4. Remove all BetterRepack Extras, mods and translation
Feel free to use this script to customize your install, but keep in mind that using this may make the game incompatible with future repack updates, requiring you to download the next repack in full!
[B]WANT YOUR CARD OR SCENE INCLUDED IN THE NEXT REPACK?[/B]
Feel free to DM me on discord (ScrewThisNoise#3544) with the card(s) and/or scene(s), and I'll see what I can do for the next release. (See community links for server link)

Some creators went back 20 years back to make a remake of their game (FF7) (probably because of one guy, like me, who convinced them so much that they finally decided to do it. And look at it now, best game of the year (even with the old rpg system changed to a modern way). Obvious may be but never impossible. I always believe on that 0.001 chance even if it may sound foolish. A change of mind can happen at any moment

Well, illusion just doesn't care, so... though luck.
I quite like AIS, so I really don't like it, but thems the facts.
The following is my OPINION on the whole thing:
Illusion is failing at properly monetizing on this game, and seem to have deemed AIS a failure. Thus why they pivoted back to one of their two flagships, before swiftly moving on to the second (HS and KK). Illusion it seems does not believe in maintaining and supporting a userbase, so it would seem that the second they release a new game, the old is worth somewhere between little and nothing to them.
Let's take a look at illusion as a whole:
- Rapid personality changes in code and structure
- Only cares to support one game at a time
- Issues DMCAs for users mentioning their game and/or creating content with their games
- Has obscenely highly priced offerings
So, what can we take from this? They seem to be following a business plan from the 90s, and is a bad place for passion to thrive. They actively attack their own users and have a insanely high turnover seemingly.
Getting illusion to go back to a older game just doesn't happen, I can't see a conceivable route to such an outcome
I'm a gigantic fan of illusions products and user communities, but the company itself... eeeeh

Some creators does not mean Illusion. Illusion specifically is not known to do this and are, in fact, known to drop an old game not long after all content is out for it. No developer decides to go back because one person asked, FF7 got a remake because it was desired by A LOT of people, not just one. If only one person wants a return to an old game for whatever reason, the company, especially a comapny like Square Enix that is entirely profit focused, isn't going to do that. They would only go and do what will actually make them more profit. If one person had wanted FF7 remade, there wouldn't be enough profit in it and there would be no remake. With how bad AI Shoujo is in its optimization and the popularity of their Honey Select series being significantly greater, they are more likely to produce a Honey Select 3 than to go back to AI Shoujo. Even an Artificial Academy 3 has a better chance of being made since Artificial Academy 2 is easily their best game by a wide margin and is among the top three most popular because of it. AI Shoujo, not so much. If Illusion knew what they do now after AI Shoujo's release, they might have skipped out on the game being made entirely assuming they didn't just prevent the issues from happening that prevent the game from living up to its potential.
As do I, I would love if they went back and fixed the issues plaguing the game. They have definitely deemed AI Shouo a failure at this point and failures don't get returned to. I've actually never seen Illusion themselves issue DMCAs, though maybe that's against Japanese users I wouldn't have seen. As for that high turnover, that isn't entirely their fault, their country's society doesn't look too kindly on the development of porn games or porn in general. It isn't illegal, but there is kind of a stigma about it. Most porn game developers over there, Illusion or otherwise, end up lying to even their own families until they can take skills they learned developing porn games to a big company like Nintendo.

Yeah, they don't. They issue it through SofuRin, the adult entertainment watchdog in Japan. SOME PEOPLE might say they are strongarmed and air on the side of sending ARGUABLY bad faith DMCAs claiming rights to content neither them nor Illusion have any rights to, but what do I know
I see, so they are like the Entertainment Software Association in the US, which protects companies like Bethesda. Yeah, these groups tend to get strike happy with copyright enforcement, so much so that some of them have a bad track record when it comes to legitimate claims.Yeah, they don't.

Yeah, kinda like that. They're a advocate group and also responsible for some registration and self policing stuffs from what I can gather... also they're a major pain in the ass, but that might just be me... and everyone else they've DMCAd on WHAT SOME MAY CONSTRUE as bad faith claims
No, no, it isn't just you, these groups really are a major pain. I'm honestly surprised none of these repack versions have been hit now that I know of the existence of this Japanese group.Yeah, kinda like that.

It's like nintendo or any big businesses... They want to protect their shts at all cost to be able to maximize on profit (which is understandable). But sometimes they let one slide in, not every time (actually very rarely), but sometimes they do. Doesn't matter if they've shown the public how greedy they are at the moment. Anything can happen whether it is a dismissal or a realization. I know you guys base yourselves on facts but i base myself more on probabilities and luck.

You lack on faith my friend. It's not because you restrain yourself that you have to bring everyone down with you. Let people believe what they want. You have no idea how things can work out on your favor. How do you think leaders work? It always start with one person. That one person can convince thousands of them. But it's hard to know the real truth because people are good at hiding it. Saying that it was desired by a lot of people is pretentious. Probably the truth but was it really what ignited it?
That's exactly what it is, if Illusion really wanted to enforce their copyright on us, they easily could have multiple times over by now.
No, I do not. Faith has nothing to do with it, not when Illusion's history says they won't come back. They are in the process of working on a completely unrelated game as we speak, Koikatsu Sunshine. In the past, this has always meant they won't be putting out anything else for games that came before. I'm pretty sure you are the only one believing Illusion has any chance of coming back to the game they have already acknowledged was a failure. Also, even if you can get thousands behind you, Illusion ONLY listens to Japanese people who legitimately bought the game, even western customers who bought it on Steam got the short end of the stick on this game because they are still new to the western market and are still very much Japanese player oriented.
