Yeah Scarlet I was 200% fine with starting over again in, VV though...as much as I like it...no. And yeah the ( for now ) exclusive characters to it is my main thing for it but I vastly prefer the console X3 games over it.
Honestly, I actually find DOAXVV preferable over Fortune or Venus (Scarlet's jury is out currently), mostly because DOAXVV at least has the girls actually interacting with each other, while DOAX3F/V didn't (and believe me, when DOAX3F/V is missing something that was pretty key to the DOAX series, we've got a problem).
In any case, I probably wouldn't bother with an English version if the DMM version had English in the first place. Would really cut down on the translation issues.
