Well I'm not to interested. but some of you might be. The asking goal, and whats needed for a PC release have me doubting the game will be funded though.

But who knows as I have been proven wrong before.

Lost me at 3:45 when it mentioned phones.

I think one way to curb my kickstarter supports is to ignore anything that openly mentions telephone products. So, money saved, backlog list curtailed.

I actually purchase a lot of niche Japanese RPGs, usually on release date, so this would normally be exactly my cup of tea. However I have to be convinced that the quality will be there, and this developer looks much too unproven. Moreover this is one of the last genres where we are given a meaty single player portion, so I don't want to see it being deserted in favor of free to play games on mobile.

Exactly. I'm all for jRPGs in PC, but when a kickstarter goes multiplatform that's the first problem (having to deal with multiple platforms, specially with a small team, it's a recipe for disaster), and when they add multiplayer because ... reasons? it's even worse.

In essence, for any small team thinking of starting a project in kickstarter, my recommendation is KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
