I already kind of mentioned this before, but I'm actually fairly happy with the PC version. This is after completing the game a few weeks ago.
It might be because I wasn't really expecting much, other than a basic port of the PSP version, and I've been fortunate to have experienced few technical issues, besides sound effects occasionally being absent when playing with headphones.
Admittedly, if I had experienced more issues, I would be pretty distressed, given my Chinese communication skills are kind of lacking, so I doubt I'd be able to get much help.
In any case, I do agree it would be nice to have something a bit more closer to the Sora no Kiseki PC versions, but I'm still pretty happy with what I got considering the circumstances.
I'm kind of interested to know if the developers are indeed working on a patch to improve the game and if so, what it may include. It's probably too much of a stretch to hope for the assets for zero-full to be added, given that the battle voice edition of FC was released as a standalone (albeit, budget) title.

I got the Unknown Error message as well. I think you do need to use the manual verification like what I did; it's not much different to the normal verification and you don't need to e-mail anyone (hopefully!). Before I obtain a screenshot, I'll assume the verification is the same or similar. If your window looks different to mine, then I'd probably suggest not following my instructions to be safe. 1. Load the game until you reach the verification window. The window should hopefully look like this (Image A). Ignore the coloured circles for now! 2. Open your internet browser and go to this url: www.joyoland.com/Unlock/Unlock.aspx3. You should have this screen (Image B) on your browser. 4. In the first line (the green circle), type in your serial code in full. 5. Go back to your verification window and copy the code in the red circle of Image A. Return to your browser and paste this code in the second line (purple circle of Image B). 6. Press Submit, then press OK. You will be taken back to Image B, but there will be a new code in the third line. Copy this. 7. Return to the verification window and paste the new code in the line inbetween the red circle and the blue circle. 8. Press the button within the blue circle. You should be done now.

I don't think the game's region locked. Can you send me a screenshot (print screen) of your verification window?
Chances are you need to use manual verification, but I need to double check what your verification process looks like.
Also, does your code start with something like ED7PC-HK-01--? (presumably swap HK for TW)

Moon Door 4 should be in Saint Croix Forest (Chapter 4 area).
I'm not sure about any rewards for doing all doors. I managed to do all the doors on my first and only run, so I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I must have gotten lucky in the fishing stage, I got my ass kicked hard on my first go, but returned the favour on my second.
I do know that Star Door 14 requires you to visit "all the doors", but not sure what that means exactly. Does it just mean Star Doors? Or if it includes all doors, is it okay if you beat just one fishing stage (etc)?

IIRC you have the mainland China version, right? I'm not quite sure how their verification works, but if you need any help, you can send me any relevant details/instructions and I'll see what I can do (although I should mention Simplified Chinese isn't my forte).
However, if I've assumed correctly, the verification is the same across all PC versions. So if you've verified the game on one PC, you need to revoke the verification before you can verify on another.
If you search in the ED_ZERO folder (or something similar), there should be a file named "revoke". If you double click it, it will give you a window that allows you to revoke your verification automatically online (top option) or manually online (lower option). I've already revoked a verification before and didn't have any problems, so hopefully it should work for you.
If you're having issues verifying at all, the best bet is to try the manual verification. This will require the full code that came with your software (mine starts with ED7PC-HK-01--).
Also, just beat Chapter 3 : o

Falcom is currently running a prize raffle related to Ao no Kiseki on Twitter and the mail magazine where you can win some miscellaneous goods, including some signed goods. AFAIK, to enter you only need to answer one question (as well as filling in some simple details). Unfortunately I haven't played Ao no Kiseki yet, so I don't know the answer. Would somebody be kind enough to help me (and others?) "cheat"? The question is, what item is inside a specific chest during the prologue. The raffle page, with pictures of the chest is here. (BTW, I *think* you need a mail magazine account to enter if you use this page.)

I'm not 100% sure on the details, but I believe the game was developed by Beijing HappyEver company, with some support from Falcom, as they are credited in various places, such as (I forget) the title screen.
HappyEver released the Simplified Chinese version in mainland China. It seems they had a distribution plan with Interwise and Typhoon Games, who published the Traditional Chinese version in Taiwan and Hong Kong respectively.
On a related note, I've been playing the PC version for a while and it's pretty good. I've noticed there's a bug with missing sound effects when I play with headphones on. Otherwise, I haven't had any problems.
The battle sprites are *really* nice quality, wish I could say the same about the face sprites, which seem a bit jaggedy to me. I haven't played the PSP version, so can't really comment about the backdrops, but I don't think they're "HD" quality as some people initially believed. But anyway, I guess they did a decent enough job.

Nice, I just saw it a while ago.
I assume you're referring to 05? After seeing one of the Dominion's ships in an earlier video, I was thinking 05 would make an appearance.

I know, I voted for her every chance I got. Although I feel bad because it seems like I'm trolling. At least I wasn't alone : P

Nice, Kloe is still in the top 10. Towards the end, I thought she might drop off. KeA did.

It does sound like a tough decision.
I can't really comment about the wooden box since there isn't a really clear image of it right now. Being a coin collector of sorts, I'm interested in the coins, not so much about the postcards (these are always nice to have, but not deciding factors) and same with the keyrings.
I would like the set for the rarity and the KeA figurine though : P
Anyway, that's before considering the regular special edition... yikes. Fortunately(?) for me, I'll just grab whatever YesAsia (and maybe other international sites like PlayAsia) throw at me, so easy decisions ^^;;;
Also, I just realised, the "6 disk soundtrack" in YesAsia's listing might be referring to the Mini Soundtracks. Looking through the mainland Chinese special version, I noticed there are 6 Mini Soundtracks and I heard both Interwise (the Taiwanese publisher) and the mainland Chinese publisher apparently had licensing issues preventing them from including the full OST in their special versions.

Sure, it should be here. There's going to be a limited run of 5000, but only 2000 of those will have KeA. Ahh... I kind of want KeA, but I'm happy I managed to snag any figurine at all.

BTW, here are some photos of the Chinese version figurines. Not sure if they're the finished versions or not. I'm kind of amused about how the Tio figurine looks very similar to the Ao no Kiseki one. As for the playing cards, I haven't seen photos of them, but I have seen some preliminary designs of them here. I think they should look great if done right. Kind of related, mainland China has a new special edition that contains a KeA figurine. I bet Chinese fans are going crazy now. Before this, there were already four special editions with a figurine each, which seems to have caused a lot of headaches. Similarly, the Taiwanese special edition with 1 of 4 figurines sold out before its official announcement... Oh yeah, I sent an e-mail to YesAsia asking if we could choose the figurine. They said they can't give an answer yet or along those lines.

For anyone who's interested, the Traditional Chinese version can be preordered from YesAsia. Just search "Falcom" and you should see it. The regular edition is going for 32 USD, while the limited edition is a pricier 77 USD.
The limited edition appears to be similar to the mainland Chinese one. It contains:
The game DVD Instruction manual One A2 poster 6 disc game soundtrack Guidebook Illustrations book 54 playing cards (based off the in-game casino) One figurine of Ellie or Tio (I don't think they're the same as the Ao no Kiseki ones, there are some photos of them, as well as the Lloyd and Randy figurines, somewhere) One eco-friendly bag
Presumably the regular edition only has the first 2 items.
EDIT
Oh yeah, the expected release date is 31st August. I think the mainland Chinese version is coming out on 28th August.

I only own the game (unlike Origin), but that's pretty cool and thanks for the heads up : )

Not sure if it's a good idea to ask here, but can somebody help me with regards to Sora the 3rd? How do you advance the beginning of the Aster House scene? I'm told to look around for clues. I've been to the various rooms, kitchens, the well, but now I'm completely stuck. I can't access the second building since it's locked. EDIT No clue what I did, but I'm past now. I just wandered around doing nothing o__o

Don't think it's been posted, but the official site updated today.
Interestingly, one of the locations you can visit is Altair, a city located towards the far west of Calvard. Is this the first time we get to visit Calvard (I've only played up to the halfway point of the 3rd)?

The current top 20 heroines as of 9th May: (Some names might be slightly incorrect for various reasons) 1 Renne (Trails in the Sky) 2 Estelle Bright (Trails in the Sky) 3 Feena (Ys I) 4 Tita Russell (Trails in the Sky) 5 Noel Seeker (Zero no Kiseki) 6 Lilia (Ys II) 7 Leah (Y I) 8 Elena (Ys: The Oath in Felghana) 9 Kloe Rinz (Trails in the Sky) 10 KeA (Zero no Kiseki) 11 Princess Cecilia (Trails in the Sky) 12 Rixia Mao (Zero no Kiseki) 13 Anelace Elfead (Trails in the Sky) 14 Alwen (Zwei II) 15 Ries Argent (Trails in the Sky) 16 Parin (Gurumin) 17 Mail (Popful Mail) 18 Geld the Moonlight Witch (Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch) 19 Tia (Ys SEVEN) 20 Chris (Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch) ( Source) Still 3 weeks to go. Top 3 didn't surprise me much due to the recent Ys and Sora polls on Falcom's site, although I was worried Feena might not make it in. Now I know who to spam votes for...

Have you checked some other online shops for their prices? Yesasia has the limited edition for sale at 122 USD (free shipping), which is slightly cheaper than the total cost of ordering the same thing from Falcom (154 USD).
