Yea fandisk, going to be one of my top favorite fandisks with one SUPER AWESOME crossover route ROFL.

This just scream quality everywhere, solid coming of age game. Dig the mature character designs. I smell oneesan somewhere.

Stop blocking foreigners Akabeesoft. I wanna check info. FFFFFFUUUUUUU.

 

[Terumi]

Syangrila~~
Maybe i will re-consider ^_^

 

[Fire_Maiden]

does anyone have suggestion about good VN that already translated to english...??:efb50fe2:

*re-directing question to kou and coro's english games thread*

does anyone have suggestion about good VN that already translated to english...??:efb50fe2:

At least tell me 'bout your taste :)

 

[Kou]

^ what he said lol.

Hmm quite late for the OP to be released.

 

[Terumi]

*Only has eyes for Fortissimo right now*

 

[Kou]

YOOOOOO, fortissimo official website is down, in b4 delays >_>.

Have some conspiracy murder bloody game instead <3.

 

[Terumi]

*keeps fingers cross*
Problem is how am i gonna download it. By the way, the game has H right? (thumbs up)

about that game, i think its really flat. You dont give doro(yan)deres guns, and chainsaws certainly dont go with maids. >.<

 

[Kou]

H? What H? All ages!!!111111

Flat is not flat literally, they are unique. Not yanderes or doroderes, anything can happen in a game of life and death and the dere part is close to non existence ww. Any romance in flat games are more subtle (which is a HUGE + for me), not slapped in your face like rabu games rofl. Guns and weapons are +++++ and maids fit chainsaws perfectly after playing the trial. AND ZOMG CLIFFHANGER THAT REACHES WTF TERRITORY had me on the edge of my seat.

 

[Terumi]

ahh so you played the trial? sorry to say but, i never play trials. i always wait for the full games.
hmm, i did post earlier that i will consider this game. but too much mind-f***ing is for you, i want more unique ones, not necessary rabu rabu. =p

ALL AGES!~ very mainstream drawings, i am really loving it.

 

[Kou]

Flat games don't go mindfck, only to mindblowing territory. Flat games have awesome protags and logical, solid endings that you will not scream deus ex machina although some flat games have magic elements. Stories nowadays like to rely on miracles and deus ex a lot. Of course, secret game is all about suspense, puzzle and mindgames and the conspiracies.

Fortissimo website is back.

 

[Terumi]

Lol, i am quite aware of what the game will be like. But in light of the other series, i doubt seriously i would even download this. Anycase, not my type of game too. =p

Yeah!~ Fortissimo is back, ima rage'd if they delayed.

 

[Kou]

Derp, all the delays.......

I wa mad and ima rage!

April is one insane month.

 

[Terumi]

ima raging right now. but on the other hand its good news too, lesser games to download this month then. but duelist engage and fortissimo stays top in my list. *thinks of alternatives to download yet again*

but april WILL be a mad month, that isnt an understatement, as most of the moe and rabu rabu games are delayed.

 

[Kou]

HEEEYYYYYYY, everything in 24/3 is delayed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHAHAHA...

Nah, besides the rabu ones, Eustia and Vanitas no Hitsuji which should be excellent is also delayed a month.

 

[Terumi]

Yeah, i know. JUst forgot about it.
Anycase, its still in march, i am ok...
I have already dropped certain and definitely would not be downloading them

 

[Kou]

Dropped which titles?

 

[Terumi]

EDITED: 10:08pm my local time

LOL. Sort of completed my research for myself on March's games. great month coming up as you mentioned.
Heres my tentative list, in no order of preference as of yet:

1. 11eyes - Resona Forma -> confirmed - 11eyes Fan Disk. Anyone who played 11eyes should get this.
2. Duelist Engage -> confirmed - Caught my attention back in January, definitely on play list.
3. fortissimo//Akkord:Bsusvier -> confirmed - The drawings and animations are top-class. Solid game filled with bishoujos, YES!!~

The unconfirmed rest, >.<

1. Aiyoku no Eustia -> low chances - I am quite wary of August games, good plot and everything is expected, though they just dont fit my tastes.
2. Secret Game CODE:Revise -> mild chances - Looks to be quite the intriguing 'dark' game. Wary of getting mind-f***'ed, Kou's favorite type.
3. Trouble@Spiral -> mild chances - Another high school romance? Cute characters though.
4. Hatsukoi Time Capsule -> mild chances - Exactly as above
5. Marguerite Sphere -> low chances - Twincest again? Sounds dangerous...
6. Yuusha to Kimi ni Hanataba o -> high chances - interesting set-up, probably my type of game, though characters dont look tasty enough.

Erm. Tentatively its become like this..

To play:

1. Fortissimo
2. Duelist Engage
3.11eyes - Resona Forma

To consider:

1. Yuusha to Kimi ni Hanataba o
2. Trouble@Spiral
3. Hatsukoi Time Capsule

the ones not stated are dropped.

 

[Kou]

Hatsukoi Time Capsule is full of lolis, unless you like osananajimis~

 

[Terumi]

Oh was it? Hmm... Loli is easy to reject most of the time for me. Osananajimis are never quite my type though, unless they are really cute (points to Isana and melts...)

Anycase, I am considering it only, so it isnt a confirm download unlike this first 3.
Why I thought of dropping the other 3 previously:

1. Eustia - guaranteed good game, but thats precisely the point I DONT wanna play it. Anyway, character designs from August always looked recycled... so...
2. Secret - i think we discussed this before then, not really my type =p
3. Maguraite Sphere - game made for check and shito imo. TWINCEST wa yabai~~



YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*Suffers multiple nose-bleeds*
WALKURE ROMANZE TRAILER IS OUT!

 

[Ignis]

@Terumi:
Hmm, I agree about you with August's character designs looking "recycled"... Bekkankou needs to be more creative. Seeing how almost all the girls from Yoake Mae and Fortune Arterial look like they were made from a template... However, when August had Eustia site up about half a year ago (I think), I couldn't deny that the first impression stroke right into me.

Secret Game - agreed.

Marguerite Sphere - I'm fucking getting this! wwwww Meteor's revive with Shiomizaki Gakuen was definitely something to go （＞ω＜） about, and I'm a sucker for Yuyi's artwork. >_> Around the end of 2010 she kept tweeting of updates on the site and provided some exclusive goods like this for only a few days before Christmas, not to mention the preview image Check had me TL back then... Matsuri. Do. Want.

Twincest is not bad!

Walkure Romanze (Valkyrie Romance, is it?) characters remind me too much of Princess Lover somewhat... dunno why, I guess it's blindly the fact that they're both Ricotta games www. Personally not my taste though. If it's about valkyries, I prefer someone like Kyrie from Valkyrie Complex >_> <_<

 

[AntiClimax]

<Ricotta fanboy <3

@iggy
Everyone has to agree on August's recycled pieces. When i first saw Yoake early last year, I wasnt into eroges yet, but I remembered seeing Fortune Arterial before. I couldnt figure out it looked so familiar until I did a random check and yes, they are the same company. When I saw Eustia for the first time in December, I thought it was a fan-disk of sorts. Later did I realise the truth. I think the game producers must have went like "Get me Haruna's chara design! We can change her hair color and face shape and cast her into Eustia. Budget and problems solved."

No comments on Secret. (warui nee, kou.)

Magurite Sphere... I felt it was a blatant rip-off of Sora from Yosuga though. Twin-little sister, twin-tails, and likes to 'do' things while alone. Meteor eh? The ones who Clover Point if memory served me right. But i didnt play it too. Hmm, maybe I can re-consider this, but its not again likely.
Twincest wa.... Wakaranai

Well, cant deny that after all, both games are from Ricotta. Been waiting since 2009 when they first announced the title, been sometime already. Cant wait for 24th June, seriously. Why I am so caught up with Ricotta was probably(most likely come to think of it) because Princess Lover was my very first Jap eroge. Even till now, I am falling in love with them all over again.
Ahem, despite my well-documented love for *ahem* bewbies, my favorite chara in Princess Lover was Houjouin Seika, the only heroine who was flat.(takes a swipe at kou) She is twintails too, so she fits a certain someone's taste perfectly. Personality and story, she was definitely better than the other heroines in the game.

 

[Kou]

@ Anti - my playing schedule is messed up....

@Terumi - that swipe is for Coco, not me..

Lol.. Bekkankou's character design is simple but it works somehow and who needs sugoi character designs when you have that backgrounds porn in Eustia, actually the simple character designs make the background better as in not stealing the spotlight. I am more of a background lover (Shinkai's cloud porn fanboy!). Eustia's selling point is the settings and potential story anyway. THAT CLIFFHANGER, uncorroding chains, group that hunts 'ppl who grow wings', the contrast between the upper society and the dark 'prison', and mysteries is right up my alley <3. It's like they take the mystery element (vampires) in FA and the politics in Yoake and combine them to a VN with a lot of potential~ Did i mention the male lead is an assassin (not dense and potential epic GAR male lead)?

Tl;dr Eustia is so much want!!

For Marguerite Sphere, almost everything is from Clover point ._. even the characters are almost the same. I already played Clover point so unless i hear good impressions/reviews (likely Micchi's job), i will be skipping this for Vanitas no Hitsuji. Marguerite Sphere is still good for ppl who missed Clover point even if the story might just be a remake/rehash of Clover point all over again >_>.
