OH MY SWEET HEAVENS FINALLY a game that combines kitty-people, the Sanguo period and otome gaming with a badass-looking heroine. And the Sakura Taisen/Tengai Makyou dude. AND the guy who made all the awesome old FF music (i.e. the one who is not Hamauzu). What the hell Otomate/Red Entertainment. Otomate if you fuck this up on your end I WILL END ( Read more... )

Let's get the stuff noone cares about out of the way: I'm fine, healthy, on less meds, actually being productive this summer and going to be a Religion major (wut), hopefully specializing in native East Asian ones like Daoism and maybe Shinto and Korean Shamanism. After I FINALLY graduate in about two-three years, I will probably become a reclusive ( Read more... )

Sooo. Yeah. Long time no see. Welp, I've been going to school in preparation for...going back to school more regularly. >_> Doing well so far, I think, just have to keep plodding through and also get my application for my full transfer in holy crap. Classes are fun, though my Intro to World Religions - East prof is either an asshole or a NEET ( Read more... )

Life's going pretty smoothly nowadays, so nothing on that front besides going to the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear and possibly Anime USA.

I don't usually post links to surveys and the like, but Aksys has an interesting study posted right now, and it's about female-gamer-oriented games like Hakuouki, Heart no Kuni no Alice and Hiiro no Kakera. Even if you have no idea what the hell series those are, if you'd like to see more otome games (i.e. any) hit the US market, let Aksys know. It ( Read more... )

So there's this new otome game called Tenkaichi Sengoku Lovers coming out in early October for the DS. Like Nise no Chigiri, it's set in the Sengoku Jidai (obviously). Unlike Nise, it has mediocre art but makes historical figures the capturable characters! \o/ The main site doesn't have much up right now, but the characters revealed thus far ( Read more... )

Title applies because I can't go to Otakon this year (despite having a job now) due to a very important occasion. Yeah, I know, no big deal, but still, I was really looking forward to it. :/ Also, I was halfway through my first playthrough of Unmei no Labyrinth with four of Kagetoki's events (including the Christmas one, which EVERY character ( Read more... )

So yeah, still haven't done most of the Izayoiki routes, but I FINALLY finished Tomomori's and can thus move on to Unmei no Meikyuu for a bit. HaruToki3 is a fabulous game; while I can't really see much of Tomomori's attraction (his ending was the only part of his route I actually enjoyed), just about everyone else has their endearing qualities, ( Read more... )

Don't friend this account back on your various characters' accounts. Alternately, remove it from your characters' viewable friends lists so my normal posts don't clog up the game community. I've just added them so I can tell when stuff's happening in-game, since I lurk on my main account most of the time. Feel free to friend me under a normal ( Read more... )

Some exciting gaming news: XSEED and Falcom have made a deal and the former is publishing the Sora No Kiseki trilogy! They are apparently quite popular in Japan because Falcom did a fantastic job on the worldbuilding and character development for these games. I've wanted these to come overseas for a long time now (tried the PSP ports a long time ( Read more... )
