Leftovers

Yup, so while I wait (and wait, and wait) for either my March mags or my new games, I’m finishing off a few old games!

I just finished True Fortune, which was very good, and Sorayume as well. Sorayume has some really interesting storylines, I wish some of them had been explored further – there are several paranormal plots interweaving which are intriguing. Also, Kyou-nii…I REALLY want to know what he does now. His ending almost seemed like a lead-in to a different game…

Now I’m doing Orange Honey, which I dipped into a while ago but totally forgot when something else came along because it’s kind of a low-key game. While je ne comprends pas why all the cute guys here are in love with the main character, it’s fun and the designs are nice. I’m only on my second trip through, so we’ll see how the stories are.

And I tried BOTH Fushigi Yuugi games! I didn’t get very far in Suzaku Ibun, even without the main character being Miaka I was getting annoyed – I think it’s residual trauma from watching the anime oh so long ago. In Kagami no Miko, I finished Takumi’s route, it was alright but felt very much like a sidestory to a main story (which I suppose it is). I haven’t read much of the manga for Genbu, so maybe I would have gotten more out of it if I had? I dunno, I don’t like reading manga for otome games (like Corda or Angelique) because then I start to like one character and don’t want the main character to choose anyone else.

I may finish Orange Honey, and if I do, I’m going to go do Last Escort 2 I think. Maybe it’s because I’m old myself (not THAT old!!), but I find games where the characters are beyond high school (chronologically and in terms of maturity) appeal to me.

One of these days I’ll make a list of all the games I’ve finished and rank them or something…hmm…yeah I’m bored XD

More otome game videos

Well, it’s Sunday and I didn’t get much done today except sleep and surf around on the Internet. Found some good otome gameplay videos, where it kind of shows you the features of each game.

This is Mizu no Senritsu 2 ~Hi no Kioku~, which I haven’t heard many people talk about. I really enjoyed it, it has a pretty intense storyline and includes a battle system. Here’s the OP if you just want to see what the visuals look like:

The story is based on the first Mizu no Senritsu, which I didn’t like as much – it was a straight visual novel, and some of the character designs didn’t interest me. Plus, it was one of the first otome games I played and it was pretty dark, so that took me off guard.

Dear My Sun! I wasn’t sure about the concept when it first came out so I didn’t get it, but I think it looks like a lot of fun now (especially now that I know you fall in love with one of adult guys, phew!)

Last Escort

Heehee, another game I haven’t seen much mention of. The premise is totally unrealistic, trying to get a host to fall in love with you, but the game itself is a lot of fun. The gameplay shown here includes getting a job, shopping for stuff and making presents for the guys – the creation minigame is pretty fun.

OK, this isn’t a gameplay vid, but I wanted to put Sorayume in because I’m probably going to start playing it this week. And I still haven’t finished a Hanayoi Romanesque route, gah!!

And finally, one of my fave games, Love Revo! for the DS.
