Hey OtomeAddicted! Lovely to see you hear 🥰 I'm super flattered you retweeted my post about this video and actually came to watch and even comment, because I admire your work on twitter so much 😱 Yeah, this game is definitely out of the ordinary with the time travel and different time lines, that lead to different versions of the LIs... I also really wonder, why they haven't localised it so far! It's soooo popular in Japan and I'm sure people in the west would enjoy it, too... But at least the last round of announcements didn't include games that were older than one year. I'm definitely looking forward to the upcoming announcements, but don't think there is much hope for Clock Zero (or Jakou no Lyla...) Anyways thanks for stopping by and super happy you liked the video! 🥰
It has been two years... No crumb of localization so far... I have been living to see clock zero adaptaded to the west. Guess there's no way now, I have to learn japanese 🥲
Hi I really like when there is like some childhood romance wich progress when growing up like in our life beginning (Your free otome vidéo) Do you know some games with things like that. I saw that Clock zero have a little I think ? Hope it will be translated ! Thank you ~
Hm..Lover Pretend has a childhood friend route! But I think Our Life is really unique in that respect, that you accompany them their whole life. Ayakashi Gohan has an unofficial English fan patch and also follows the MC from childhood on, it's a really wholesome game with a voiced heroine! Hope that helps ☺️
I know I’m really late to the party, but I thought I’d share some of my own opinions and hope Miss RUclipsr can have a look. 🥰 I loved Clock Zero because I like Otomes with science fiction, and it also strongly reminded me of my all-time favorite 恋与制作人 (Mr Love: Queen’s Choice). I got quite a bit of emotional whiplash from the transition between the dystopia “future” and the happy school life in all honesty (but being the masochist I am, I really enjoyed it 😅), but my favorite part about the game was actually the heroine, Nadeshiko. I’m a very blunt person myself, and I really did connect with this particular heroine because of it. Also, I think the music actually does quite suit the game, because it has some very quiet and somber undertones, which I think suits the overall atmosphere of the game (but I’m not a music producer, so take this with a mountain of salt🙃). Lastly, I want to thank you for doing reviews on games like these. I’ve known Clock Zero for a long time but it’s one of those games where not many people do reviews on it, especially in the international community, so I’m really thankful for this video. Have a nice day! (Also I may be praying that you’ll give Mr Love Queen’s Choice a try? The English voice acting is quite lackluster compared to the original CN servers, but the story is so good that I powered through that (also it’s a very good example of not judging a book by its cover). It’s a bit of a slow burn, but if you like angsty stories I think you’ll enjoy it. 😊 )
First time being called Miss RUclipsr 🤣 Thanks so much for sharing your impression! It's always good to see another a opinion! 😍 I agree that Nadeshiko is a good heroine! You're welcome! I also love talking about the Japanese only games to bring them to the west and motivate some people to play them as well ☺️ And if you'd like to talk to more English speaking people about Japanese otome games, feel free to join the discord! (Link in the description)
This video was so enjoyable and funny to watch, I couldn't stop smiling, great video ❤ Omg, a poster boy who isn't boring, that's unexpected 😮 And omg unpredictable characters... am I in heaven? 😆 Honestly, I wasn't too interested in this game before, because art and school setting put me off, but now after watching this video it has really piqued my interest (and these unpredictable characters have nothing to do with me suddenly getting interested in this game... no.... not at all... not at all... I d-deny i-i-it 😭). I'm adding this game to my (never ending) to play list 😂❤
Thank you! I also had a lot of fun making it! Right? Didn't expect that either! Yeah, me neither.. thought it would be ok, and Cero B...well not romantic...but Tora and Madoka were 🔥🔥🔥 I think it isn't my favourite game, but these two characters were great! No, of course not, no one likes to be pinned down or anything...or kabedonned....no...not at all...👉👈
@@LinLinLavender Y-yeah like... who would enjoy such c-characters... c-certainly not m-me 😳 Wow, I really want to play it now 😂❤ And btw which game would you call your favorite then? ❤
@@LunaLuna-bz3xz But it's really only these two characters, the others are very average and the story is only slightly above average I would say... Piofiore of course 😁 and yours?
@@LinLinLavender I see, that's a shame, but at least these two characters are good 😂 I'm planning to play piofiore, I've heard so many good things about it (and I have a feeling that I'm going to love Yang 😂) I think that my favorite is Hakuoki because of nostalgia, it was game that got me interested in otome, so it has a special place in my heart 😂❤
interesting overview of an intriguing looking game. considering how popular this game is in Japan it's surprising it hasn't been localised yet. will have to pick up the switch version when my Japanese improves!
It definitely feels different to other game due to the time travel and time lines... I also wonder why, I'm sure it would also be popular in the west! Definitely do that! 頑張ってね!
oh that game I have it in PS2 back 2010 but ==".. sigh I didn't play it shame on me XD Idea Factory's arts are always the best ! I used their art colors as a reference in my drawing ! I really adore their art the cover of the game is enough to make me hold it and never let go! XD smile at spoiler :D thanks whahahahh XD wow they keep up continue the game ==" I"m too slow my bad let's see if I had time oneday thank you for review!
Oh really? Then you must have bought it a long time ago 😅 That's interesting! Did you use this game specifically as reference? Well, I would say it's a good game, but not the best in the world, so you could as well play other games ;)
@@LinLinLavender yes I use IdeaFactori art color as my refrence and many asked me why my art color looks different than normal anime its because I enjoy mixing out i love otome art style most than normal anime Well no plan to play sadly I am focus in Tears of Themis now I enjoy invistgate story and character interact with player 😚😚😚
Ok. WHY my reminder did not worked?! I am ANNOYED, RUclips. I WAITED FOR THIS. 🙄 As for review. First, You already know, that I LOVE this game fully and truelly. I laughed SO HARD, when You said *STOPPING TIME* , as first I thought about was my mobile fav, *VICTOR* (from Mr Love Queen's Choice)! It should be obvious, but it only down on You, when someone makes You SEE IT, so I understood, I ALWAYS keep jumping 'time stop' motived games and they become my fav. 🙃 I even, just slightly, considered, if my beloved MLQC did not took roots in PAPERGAMES staff liking CLOCK ZERO, half jokingly. 🙃 I know it is known motive, but 4 of 5 my absolute favs (along fe NORN9 and Hakuoki... Seriously, Hakuoki on switch should appear, doesn't metter of old 'it will switch on Your fridge soon' joke, as it was ported on EVERYTHING.) seems to have, one or another way 'time motive' involved. Another thing is, when I heard You in 4:34, I felt, as if watching myself. 🙃 YES, those *ALWAYS FRIENDLY* either ends being most SUS, that gives them depth... Or just makes them MOST ANNOYING CHARACTERS, if nothing change. 🤷🏻♀️ Sorry for NARUTO comparition(at least with Sugiyama Noriaki it is somehow in track with topic xD), but it is same, when Sai appeared later in Sasuke's place in team 7. 🤷🏻♀️ By face, they were suppoused to be same, but Sai was just SO FAKE with learned kindness it irks You. With mean characters U KNOW, they are honest. 🤷🏻♀️ 😅 And yes, they usually starts to treat mc way, You SEE They are special for them, after well developed plot point break through moments. Like in NORN9, Akito treated Nanami like should enemy, until she show, that she CARES. If guy is ALWAYS nice... How BORING IT IS. 😂 Sad to say, but I HATE pushovers(apropos, nice shirt ☺️), they don't let me RESPECT THEM. And it is important. 🤷🏻♀️ Even Hazuki Kei in this legend TMGS(and Midorikawa seiyuu 😁) can be NOT NICE...Oh, sorry. I just remembered, that he is ALMOST ALWAYS not nice, even if created on 'Prince character'. So me liking him makes no point. 😅 And AGREE. Taranosuke is BEST(closest to Sasuke 😅) of Sugiyama Noriaki in OTOME game. Like in Cendrilion Palika, I LIKED character introduction, but that 'Cinderela' of all characters, even in 'bad guy monologue' made me LAUGH. Almost as hard(again, great review, I laugh couple times, also I like Your 'old classy england accent' talking about OTOMES 😉) as seeing You put Nakaba pic in, when saying *MOST OF THEM* with annoyed face. 🙃 GREAT REVIEW. 💛 Ps. Yeah. Especially TESTS can be killers, but same was in Hakuoki SSL (I spotted on Your shelf 🏆), for us, NON-NATIVES LEARNERS. 😅 Thank You for covering. Wait for new interesting games reviews, like older ones (I will not nag You, but Your opinion on Hakuoki(KW and EB), or NORN9 LOFN also interest me. You have great, funny style, that I 'dig'.
Oh, sorry to hear that, I don't know why that sometimes happens... So you liked the time travel aspect in the game? Sadly I don't know MLQC... Oh, I didn't know Hakuouki had a similar aspect! I also wonder why they don't port it to the Switch, but there are so many Hakuoki games on the Switch 😅 You don't like friendly characters either? 😂 And didn't like Nakaba? So true! Either boring or super sus 🤣 Exactly...too friendly is even uncomfortable...and boring, couldn't agree more! I can have nice characters in my real life, so in a game I want excitement! Right, mean people seldomly lie 😂 yes, this special treatment is soo cute 😍 and as you say, you really can relate to their love development Wait, you like mean characters, but no push-overs? So you like tsunderes more? But wouldn't you say Tora is also a bit of a pushover? But he's definitely a great character! Yeah, Kashika in Cendrillon palikA could have been a great character, but like all of them, ended up shallow Should I play Norn9? I've heard kind of mixed reviews? Thanks for noticing the shirt! My boyfriend designed some for me and and I try to wear them on the Saturday videos 🥰 So happy to hear, the review made you laugh! 🥰🥰 I try very hard to fake a British accent 😂 Thank you! I'm really happy you liked the review and took your time for this interesting comment!
@@LinLinLavender Well. Starting from HAKUOKI and MLQC. 😁 *Hakuoki* not really has TIME STOPPING motive, per se, rather *ending of samurai era* motive of how during times changing, samurais can find their role in 'new world'. From this side it is about time. ☺️ Also, paranormal motive of Demons vs Humans. It focuse on history of 'decission time', where we know, that historically Shinsengumi collapsed... So, especially Kazama route make mc face choice, as 'true blood demon' herself, which side Yukimura should take. So, from this point, another *time of choice* . 🤷🏻♀️ For many not translated Hakuoki, as Saito lover I bought *Ginsei no Shou* for Switch, but it is fandisk. For full plot, Kyoto Winds as common route, then Edo Blossom as 2nd part of this anniversary two part extension of game. 😁 For not knowing Mr Love Queen's Choice. It is mobile game for 'older audience'(as plot talk, instead of teens, about working young Producer in falling apart company, who lost father in weird car accident (at least at first), but I TRUELLY RECOMMEND for spanding time. Outstanding from graph point(me being atelophobe I leave most soon, but this one I sinked in from OPEN SCREEN EVEN, just this beautiful piano... Not without a reason that CN band has even tours around Asia with playing game soundtrack) with 'romancing all guys' main sf motive story, that also is... To not spoil much... One of most confusing, mind blowing, heart breaking MAIN STORY(running), where we have all guys routes interspersed to become Evolution Queen that is needed to prevent humanity catastrophe. But more You know, more Your previous choices show You, You made some BIG mistakes. So, confusing like CN game should be. 🙃 We see our guys, our mc dying again and again and I was like *WHAT SADISTS ARE YOU!?* . 😅 But in same time, we have phone calls, messages, events, dates(from cards), japanese and english VAs. Here we have 4 guys(later 5), where one, literally, saved our life as kid and when plot starts he do so again. At first he looks like only one remembering mc from others(what we think) timelines... BUT key in surviving for this game is do daily tasks(about 20 minutes per day) and weekly walks, which gives free 750 diamonds per week. Because with this game, if one not focuse in events on ONE GUY, they can easiely GET BROKEN over this game. 😂 In short, VERY HIGH QUALITY, but for main plot, You will rather get most of SF/thriller like plot, than romance, which we can get in side dates, so it is still great for me. 🤷🏻♀️ In short - MLQC is HEAVY *TIME CHANGING ORIENTED* . 🤷🏻♀️ And You also NEED TO SPEND MUCH TIME(or money) ON IT. 😂 As for Tora - he is BIT of pushover, AGREE, especially, when adult(as as kid he is rather rebelious, through he LET HER ORDER HIM AROUND, more tight they grow), BUT he has his own goals and opinions, unlike... SOMEONE. 🤷🏻♀️ And getting bonds, he replace diuties with them. This is type of 'empty bowl, that is more beautiful, fuller it gets'. 🤷🏻♀️ Like when he talk to Riichiro at first, he looks like TOTAL pushover. But it is type of character, that gives EVERYTHING to protect bonds, PEOPLE he has. Even as kid he gives his all to his sibilings. 🤷🏻♀️ But more Nadeshiko gets to him, more protecting and loving he behaves and You KNOW, if someone try to hurt her, they will be ENDED SLOWLY. 🤷🏻♀️ 🤷🏻♀️ 🤷🏻♀️😏 IN OTHER ROUTES he is almost reflex-lessly fallowing orders he aproves on, mostly... Because it is his GOAL, fully... Calculative and he try to rationalize his own choices, not having Nadeshiko to point him, when something can be done different way for people he wants to keep save and ideas of his. 🤷🏻♀️ So, yes, he is A BIT. But that makes NADESHIKO ROLE important. And as she is not there in other routes... His viewpoint gets cemented and he fallow orders he aproves on, beliving it is right. 🤷🏻♀️ Finally, NORN9. I personally know, I loved it. Especially that we have 3 mcs, that is refreshing, because You can take 'breath' if one annoys You. 😜 Personally, also, Nanami is my favourite mc, robot like, seemingly emotionless and cutely oblivious... But not in Koharu way, that is overcute Bambi. Finally Mikoto is adult-thinking, eldest of girls, that do everything to protect people and mission she has. 🤷🏻♀️ In NORN9, opinions are so splitted, because many fans feels, that Otomate did not translated it 'well enough'. Like with remastered Hakuoki, NORN9 and Clock Zero are heaviely...EXTREAMLY HARD to translate PROPERLY. You need to properly refer to ERA details( like in Hakuoki dictionary You find translations on level *Shogun orders - orders that was given by shogun* ), or dialect. People, especially those that were somehow understanding JP... They couldn't grab complexity of translation-efford, mostly just DEMANDING PERFECTION. 💔 I think this is true reason, why OTOMATE refrain from translation of... More complexed games, like CLOCK ZERO, no matter of their popularity in Japan now, focusing on easier, cuter games for West audience. 🤷🏻♀️ NORN9 is for sure beautifully made, for me best on GRAPHICAL level. Coloristically outstanding and even now, after years, when VOLTAGE INC gave out teaser info about creating first fully voiced game 'Even if Tempest', what catched West audience eye was *director Ayane Uchio, known from NORN9* . 😏 It is really interesting plot and You can Yourself decide, if 'translating was so bad', but... It is always better to check. For me, it is ok, graph is BEAUTIFUL, story interesting and each heroine, as 'Future Boy'(true route), as LOVE INTERESTS has their own motives. And especially Mikoto routes implies her having sex with her guys. But it is all just added to interesting PLOT. So, if You can, I will recommend You playing, as it is art on ALMOST CenPali level, years before it. Truelly, just OPENING is showing, how stunning this game is. 😜 It was made to anime not without a reason (with 3 couples: Kakeru for Koharu, Akito for Nanami and Natsuhiko for Mikoto). Always better knowing, than thinking 'is it good'? =)
@@mbuszka5295 Ok, I see what you mean with Hakuoki! And how did you like the FD? Ok, Mr Love Queen's Choice really also sounds like a super unique game! 🤯 With a lot of deaths? Dear me 😅 So you are forced to play it daily? Isn't that stressful? But yeah, definitely sounds like a good game! I also likes old Tora's character development a lot! It was a really interesting personal conflict. Exactly 😂 Nakaba didn't have any conflicts at all ... Yes, Riichirou is such a soft puppy in the end, I kind of missed his tsundere side sometimes ...true, he tries everything to protect her and fights for her and would give anything for her. Quite tragic actually... I don't think the appears much in other routes, does he? I thought having three MCs in Norn is kind of confusing? Ok, but your descriptions of them sound all likeable! And the Norn anime was quite popular, right? I'll have look at it again, then! Oh you think that is the reason? How difficult a localisation is? Interesting theory 🧐 Thanks for all the detailed explanations, that was really helpful!
@@LinLinLavender I will try to not nag You with long monologues, so summing up: For Hakuoki, I think, as it is my beloved guy from this game(and first otome), I will always be bit biassed toward Saito ending, as it was very truthful about how things could run. So Saito's 'final destination' of 'new role of old souls in new times' speak up to me. Chizuru possible role as Kazama wife... It could have it's good sides, but because of Kazama 'villian role', him suddenly being 'soulmate material' feels... Off. As we CAN'T save Chizuru 'father', so... Can she really be with man, who motivated her father to spiral down? 🤔 This is why Chizuru role as Demon Clan future 'Mother'... Is off. Chizuru is not really STRONG character. She is pacifist, want to help... But she rather fit as a wife of ex-Hakuoki, showing support away from main front... than for Demon wife. 🤷🏻♀️ For MLQC: ruclips.net/video/CuoueuKLyXA/видео.html - just trailer. And about playing it every day... It is my choice to spend 20 minutes daily. It is not DUTY. You can as well ignore it a bit, be back and so... But profitable is logging in every day. ☺️ You can say, it also is strategy. 😉 For NORN9, I think You, as great in Japanese, could have 'final word' in *is translation so bad?* question. My opinion is not really meaningful, as I played english version. You will probably by much better judge in 'is translation done way it SHOULD BE, or did fan WERE RIGHT'? 🤔 I will however gladly see Your opinion on as game, as it's translation. ☺️
@@mbuszka5295 It's ok to be biased towards once favourite character, no one is objective ;) Ah, I understand and see why that can feel off I don't know much about the series, but Chizuru really seems like an extremely weak heroine...as you say, not too fitting in that setting Ok, I see, as long as the daily playing is not obligatory, I can live with that! If I get to play, I will definitely keep an eye on the translation, but at the moment, it's not really high up on my to play list.
a 12 year old romancing other 12 year olds...idk when I was 12, I certainly had a crush on a schoolmate of mine, not sure why this should be apalling or weird ._.
Because she later romances 22 year old guys...but it's explained - as I said And exactly, I also think 12 year olds can have romantic feelings. So it didn't really bother me, but some people in my discord felt uncomfortable about that, so I thought I'd mention it.
@@LinLinLavender wait wait! She romances 22 year olds as a 12 year old? That is certainly a bit weird if thats how the game works xD Ahh I see, well yeah not everyone developes romantic feelings at that age so I can imagine
This game is so interesting, I’m praying they’ll localize it😆😍 thank you for making this video!!

Should I play Norn9? I've heard kind of mixed reviews?
Thanks for noticing the shirt! My boyfriend designed some for me and and I try to wear them on the Saturday videos 🥰
So happy to hear, the review made you laugh! 🥰🥰
I try very hard to fake a British accent 😂
Thank you! I'm really happy you liked the review and took your time for this interesting comment!

Well. Starting from HAKUOKI and MLQC. 😁
*Hakuoki* not really has TIME STOPPING motive, per se, rather *ending of samurai era* motive of how during times changing, samurais can find their role in 'new world'. From this side it is about time. ☺️
Also, paranormal motive of Demons vs Humans. It focuse on history of 'decission time', where we know, that historically Shinsengumi collapsed...
So, especially Kazama route make mc face choice, as 'true blood demon' herself, which side Yukimura should take. So, from this point, another *time of choice* . 🤷🏻♀️
For many not translated Hakuoki, as Saito lover I bought *Ginsei no Shou* for Switch, but it is fandisk. For full plot, Kyoto Winds as common route, then Edo Blossom as 2nd part of this anniversary two part extension of game. 😁
For not knowing Mr Love Queen's Choice. It is mobile game for 'older audience'(as plot talk, instead of teens, about working young Producer in falling apart company, who lost father in weird car accident (at least at first), but I TRUELLY RECOMMEND for spanding time. Outstanding from graph point(me being atelophobe I leave most soon, but this one I sinked in from OPEN SCREEN EVEN, just this beautiful piano... Not without a reason that CN band has even tours around Asia with playing game soundtrack) with 'romancing all guys' main sf motive story, that also is... To not spoil much... One of most confusing, mind blowing, heart breaking MAIN STORY(running), where we have all guys routes interspersed to become Evolution Queen that is needed to prevent humanity catastrophe. But more You know, more Your previous choices show You, You made some BIG mistakes. So, confusing like CN game should be. 🙃
We see our guys, our mc dying again and again and I was like *WHAT SADISTS ARE YOU!?* . 😅
But in same time, we have phone calls, messages, events, dates(from cards), japanese and english VAs.
Here we have 4 guys(later 5), where one, literally, saved our life as kid and when plot starts he do so again. At first he looks like only one remembering mc from others(what we think) timelines...
BUT key in surviving for this game is do daily tasks(about 20 minutes per day) and weekly walks, which gives free 750 diamonds per week. Because with this game, if one not focuse in events on ONE GUY, they can easiely GET BROKEN over this game. 😂
In short, VERY HIGH QUALITY, but for main plot, You will rather get most of SF/thriller like plot, than romance, which we can get in side dates, so it is still great for me. 🤷🏻♀️
In short - MLQC is HEAVY *TIME CHANGING ORIENTED* . 🤷🏻♀️
And You also NEED TO SPEND MUCH TIME(or money) ON IT. 😂
As for Tora - he is BIT of pushover, AGREE, especially, when adult(as as kid he is rather rebelious, through he LET HER ORDER HIM AROUND, more tight they grow), BUT he has his own goals and opinions, unlike... SOMEONE. 🤷🏻♀️
And getting bonds, he replace diuties with them. This is type of 'empty bowl, that is more beautiful, fuller it gets'. 🤷🏻♀️
Like when he talk to Riichiro at first, he looks like TOTAL pushover. But it is type of character, that gives EVERYTHING to protect bonds, PEOPLE he has. Even as kid he gives his all to his sibilings. 🤷🏻♀️
But more Nadeshiko gets to him, more protecting and loving he behaves and You KNOW, if someone try to hurt her, they will be ENDED SLOWLY. 🤷🏻♀️ 🤷🏻♀️ 🤷🏻♀️😏
IN OTHER ROUTES he is almost reflex-lessly fallowing orders he aproves on, mostly... Because it is his GOAL, fully... Calculative and he try to rationalize his own choices, not having Nadeshiko to point him, when something can be done different way for people he wants to keep save and ideas of his. 🤷🏻♀️
So, yes, he is A BIT. But that makes NADESHIKO ROLE important.
And as she is not there in other routes... His viewpoint gets cemented and he fallow orders he aproves on, beliving it is right. 🤷🏻♀️
Finally, NORN9. I personally know, I loved it. Especially that we have 3 mcs, that is refreshing, because You can take 'breath' if one annoys You. 😜
Personally, also, Nanami is my favourite mc, robot like, seemingly emotionless and cutely oblivious... But not in Koharu way, that is overcute Bambi. Finally Mikoto is adult-thinking, eldest of girls, that do everything to protect people and mission she has. 🤷🏻♀️
In NORN9, opinions are so splitted, because many fans feels, that Otomate did not translated it 'well enough'. Like with remastered Hakuoki, NORN9 and Clock Zero are heaviely...EXTREAMLY HARD to translate PROPERLY. You need to properly refer to ERA details( like in Hakuoki dictionary You find translations on level *Shogun orders - orders that was given by shogun* ), or dialect.
People, especially those that were somehow understanding JP... They couldn't grab complexity of translation-efford, mostly just DEMANDING PERFECTION. 💔
I think this is true reason, why OTOMATE refrain from translation of... More complexed games, like CLOCK ZERO, no matter of their popularity in Japan now, focusing on easier, cuter games for West audience. 🤷🏻♀️
NORN9 is for sure beautifully made, for me best on GRAPHICAL level. Coloristically outstanding and even now, after years, when VOLTAGE INC gave out teaser info about creating first fully voiced game 'Even if Tempest', what catched West audience eye was *director Ayane Uchio, known from NORN9* . 😏
It is really interesting plot and You can Yourself decide, if 'translating was so bad', but... It is always better to check. For me, it is ok, graph is BEAUTIFUL, story interesting and each heroine, as 'Future Boy'(true route), as LOVE INTERESTS has their own motives. And especially Mikoto routes implies her having sex with her guys. But it is all just added to interesting PLOT.
So, if You can, I will recommend You playing, as it is art on ALMOST CenPali level, years before it. Truelly, just OPENING is showing, how stunning this game is. 😜
It was made to anime not without a reason (with 3 couples: Kakeru for Koharu, Akito for Nanami and Natsuhiko for Mikoto).
Always better knowing, than thinking 'is it good'? =)
@@mbuszka5295 Ok, I see what you mean with Hakuoki!
And how did you like the FD?
Ok, Mr Love Queen's Choice really also sounds like a super unique game! 🤯 With a lot of deaths? Dear me 😅
So you are forced to play it daily? Isn't that stressful?
But yeah, definitely sounds like a good game!
I also likes old Tora's character development a lot! It was a really interesting personal conflict.
Exactly 😂 Nakaba didn't have any conflicts at all ...
Yes, Riichirou is such a soft puppy in the end, I kind of missed his tsundere side sometimes ...true, he tries everything to protect her and fights for her and would give anything for her. Quite tragic actually...
I don't think the appears much in other routes, does he?
I thought having three MCs in Norn is kind of confusing? Ok, but your descriptions of them sound all likeable!
And the Norn anime was quite popular, right?
I'll have look at it again, then!
Oh you think that is the reason? How difficult a localisation is? Interesting theory 🧐
Thanks for all the detailed explanations, that was really helpful!

I will try to not nag You with long monologues, so summing up:
For Hakuoki, I think, as it is my beloved guy from this game(and first otome), I will always be bit biassed toward Saito ending, as it was very truthful about how things could run. So Saito's 'final destination' of 'new role of old souls in new times' speak up to me.
Chizuru possible role as Kazama wife... It could have it's good sides, but because of Kazama 'villian role', him suddenly being 'soulmate material' feels... Off. As we CAN'T save Chizuru 'father', so... Can she really be with man, who motivated her father to spiral down? 🤔
This is why Chizuru role as Demon Clan future 'Mother'... Is off. Chizuru is not really STRONG character. She is pacifist, want to help... But she rather fit as a wife of ex-Hakuoki, showing support away from main front... than for Demon wife. 🤷🏻♀️
For MLQC: ruclips.net/video/CuoueuKLyXA/видео.html - just trailer.
And about playing it every day... It is my choice to spend 20 minutes daily. It is not DUTY. You can as well ignore it a bit, be back and so... But profitable is logging in every day. ☺️
You can say, it also is strategy. 😉
For NORN9, I think You, as great in Japanese, could have 'final word' in *is translation so bad?* question. My opinion is not really meaningful, as I played english version. You will probably by much better judge in 'is translation done way it SHOULD BE, or did fan WERE RIGHT'? 🤔
I will however gladly see Your opinion on as game, as it's translation. ☺️
@@mbuszka5295 It's ok to be biased towards once favourite character, no one is objective ;)
Ah, I understand and see why that can feel off
I don't know much about the series, but Chizuru really seems like an extremely weak heroine...as you say, not too fitting in that setting
Ok, I see, as long as the daily playing is not obligatory, I can live with that!
If I get to play, I will definitely keep an eye on the translation, but at the moment, it's not really high up on my to play list.
a 12 year old romancing other 12 year olds...idk when I was 12, I certainly had a crush on a schoolmate of mine, not sure why this should be apalling or weird ._.
Because she later romances 22 year old guys...but it's explained - as I said
And exactly, I also think 12 year olds can have romantic feelings. So it didn't really bother me, but some people in my discord felt uncomfortable about that, so I thought I'd mention it.
@@LinLinLavender wait wait! She romances 22 year olds as a 12 year old? That is certainly a bit weird if thats how the game works xD Ahh I see, well yeah not everyone developes romantic feelings at that age so I can imagine
