Rejoice otome fans! Looks like the prayers to bring this game to the west worked. ❤
I am hearing so many good things aboit this game, i PRAY that it will be locilazed in the future!
Let them hear thy prayer 🙏 ✨
I'm really optimistic
SAME * _____ * omgg i need that game
I'm on my knees 🧎🏼♀️
Im here from the future and well.
Thank you for reviewing this game! I have been so excited about this game since it’s announcement! I can’t wait for it to be localized! ❤
You're welcome 🥰 I'm so happy I got to talk about this game more 🤩
Really hope they'll pick it up ✨
Praying so hard for this to get localized... I really want it.. well if im desperate enough i might snatched the JP version lol
I'm pretty optimistic for this one, it was one of the highest selling games of the year and last year localisers chose their games according to highest sales...
I'm praying with every fibre of my being that this game gets localized! 🤞 I'm so glad that Hibiki's VA got to play a main love interest after so many side characters 💕 It's not often every LI catches my eye in an otome game but every character in this game seems to have their own certain charm that makes me excited to play all their routes. Thank you for the great review!
Me too! 😭🙏✨
I'm also happy Hibiki's VA got his chance to shine, and he really did such a great job! All Leo fans can be happy 😁
Same for me! I'm almost unable to decide who I like the most, as every character is so unique and loveable
Any time ☺️ after a rough start, this game really reminded me of why I love otome games and making reviews 🥰
@@LinLinLavender I'm glad to hear you ended up enjoying it! Have you picked up any other otomate games this year? I've had my eye on TsuiTsui but I've heard quite mixed things about it. 🤔
@@buttercupvenus not yet, I've looked a bit in Café Enchantée in the hope it has a similar atmosphere. How do you like it?
Wasn't TsuiTsui received rather well? I didn't read a lot of reviews though. I'm personally not so sure about the art style
Are you playing anything atm?
@@LinLinLavender I need to get around to playing Cafe Enchante too 😆 I've heard a lot of people enjoy that game!
I haven't heard too much about the story itself in TsuiTsui but I had heard that some people thought the game was too long.
I'm currently working through Amnesia: Later while I wait for Radiant Tale to come in the mail!
@@buttercupvenus Same! But also I'm afraid of low romance levels 😭
Oh really? Interesting!
Nice! Hope you'll have a lot of fun with Radiant Tale 🎉
This is the otome game I most want to play!!! I love spooky urban legends ❤ I hope it’s localized someday. Thanks for the organized review :D I Love how you explain the characters ad give your opinion on them !! Super helpful
It's really worth the hype imo 😍
I hope so too!! ✨
You're welcome, I'm happy you find my review helpful! I actually love making them so if someone appreciates the review I'm more than happy
thanks for the review ! Im even more hype for the game now 😂 hope they localize it soon 🤞
I'm also super happy to hear minami's route is great since he's the character that caught my attention the most, i just love his design witht the little horns 🥰
You're welcome 🥰 a good excuse to gush about the game
I hope so too! 2024/25?
Yes! He's such an interesting and multilayered character, love him! And his horns are such a smart design choice
Wow, that was quick, thank you for the early review! I really like the character design in this one and the story also seems to be interesting and varied. I also like that it‘s parted in four „worlds“, as it reminds me of Bad Apple Wars, which I loved on my PS Vita. ❤ Since Charade Maniacs and Winter’s Wish sadly weren‘t for me, I hope 9 Rip get‘s localized. I would love to play a captivating story again as for me it‘s even more important than the romance. Can‘t wait to see what your next Otome Game will be. 🥰
You're welcome 🥰 I really did my best
And good to see you here again, as a not so quiet anymore subscriber 😊
Didn't know Bad Apple Wars has a similar structure! That sounds interesting!
Feel you 😔 I also didn't play a really good otome since forever....maybe a year? I don't know, so I'm really happy I got to play 9RIP and enjoyed it so much! Really hope you'll also play a game that suits your taste soon!
Though I would actually say that 9RIP is more character driven than plot driven, though it still has a lot of action and things happening. And what I really admire, that everything makes perfectly sense! I mean yes, it's fantasy, but consistent
I will literally play any otome with Yang's VA lol looking forward to checking this game out!
Saaaaame! 🤝 He's so worth it
I'm only a few routes in, but I also have to agree that it's certainly the best otome game of 2023 (and that I've played so far)! I am also hoping for a localization so that more people can experience this wonderful gem💖
Glad you agree! 💖🎉
Which routes have you played so far?
Right? More people should get the chance to love it!
@@LinLinLavender I've played Hibiki, Kouyou, and Minami's routes and have loved all of them so far! Initially I wanted to play one route from each world first to experience more variety, but thanks to your advice, I will play the ayakashi world last since they have more revelations in those routes!
@@tiffiekasumi4948 and how did you like them?
I mean you probably know the truth by now or can guess it, so...😅
@@LinLinLavender Their routes were very emotional and heart warming. My emotions felt like they were on a roller coaster and I got really teary eyed a few times 🥲Minami's route was also really fun for me.
Maybe I will just dive right into Koharu's route next😆
@@tiffiekasumi4948 totally agree! Emotional rollercoaster is a good description 😭
Minami and Kouyou were both really big surprises for me as I didn't expect their characters to be like this
Koharuuuu 😍 why not 😁
wait no wayyy an incubus storyline too? this game is pretty amazing
omg and he's written like the genuine devil thats LEGENDARY
He's written so well 😍 hope you get to meet him soon!
I very much hope so as well, thank you 😊
Im so allured with the art and its color palette and obviously the horror trope
Yes, totally! And I yet have to meet someone who dislikes the game 😍
Hope so too!
glad people are liking it, i ended up selling my copy because people were saying it is way more cutesy than what i anticipated
Yes, when you expect horror it's definitely the wrong game for you 😔 so for me it was great! 💖
@@LinLinLavender Ah, that's a shame. I was somewhat interested since I'm a big fan of horror visual novels.
@@SmartyPoohBear yeah, they really overdid it a bit with the horror marketing...if you love true horror, you'll most likely be disappointed
If you love romantic and sweet ghost stories though, there is a high chance you'll love it 😁
Thank you for making a video on this game! I hope it gets localized soon😁
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and even commenting 💕
I hope so toooooo ✨
Thank you for the review! Now I'm more tempted than ever to get the game, it looks like so much fun T^T I guess I'll just have to use my dictionary for all the mythology based Kanji.. a LOT. But that's okay hehe
I love how you put this video together, it was such a joy to watch :D
It's definitely doable ☺️
Glad you liked the review! Thank you! 🥰
Thanks for the Japanese level assessment. I've been eyeballing this for awhile, but don't have a lot of VN experience yet so it's hard to make calls on which games to get. I'm working on BroCon right now and might try this when I'm done.
That sounds like a good plan! BroCon is definitely easier, but 9RIP should be a good next step
Keep going! 💪✨
Thank you so much for this review!!! This game had my interest and it's so cool hearing each character's backstory (I really like your spooky story segments in this review). Glad to see the boy in the mirror kind of paid off in execution!!! And bruh wow can't believe the school world ghosts fell in love that quickly XD
Wow, the urban legend guys sound like the FULL PACKAGE!
And hell world too. Wow this game is sounding real high quality
You're welcome! Can't stop me from gushing about the game anyways 😁
Thanks!
Yes, boy in the mirror did a good job 👍
Others seem to love the school world, but even after a second attempt...not my vibe
Yes! The urban legends boys are amazing! They tell so wholesome stories
Hell world is crazy 😆 absolutely perfect
And don't forget the hilarious ayakashis 😁
Totally high quality! Really need to find out who the writers are, they did a great job! And the BGM .... everything 😍
Thank you for the reply, it's really cool hearing your impressions of each world. XD
i forgot the Ayakashi one fr
@@ichi_san no please ask me more, I want to keep talking about the game 😱
Ok if you're ok with answering did you have a favourite route from them all or any particular favourite scenes? And also by steamy was it like kissing scenes? XD im very curious
@@ichi_san thanks for asking!!! 😁😁🥰💖💕✨🎉
(Clears throat, pulls down a black board and a power point presentation)
It's a super hard decision, but favourite might be Koharu (pink rough kokkuri)
But Kouyou and Minami were equally enjoyable and full of surprises 😱😍
Favourite scene might be a friendship scene in one common route, so cute and wholesome
Or all the jealousy scenes in between
Or every scene with Koharu and Yukimaro (the ayakashis)
Or THE WHOLE GAME
Sadly the kissing scenes are actually not steamy at all. It's more like: and then we kissed, I felt happy and loved
But no description of the kiss and no moans and it ends in a few seconds 😔 that's the only disappointing part 😅
One time there is a tongue, but again not very detailed.
Most steamy are Minami and Seiya, but still short scenes and no moans 😭
That ends my presentation
Do you have any further questions?
I'm so hyped about this
Rightfully so 😍
I loved how you edited this video where between each LI you did a 'spooky intro' for each of them.
How did you feel about the MC though because you barely talked about her?
Thank you 🥰
Loved her! She's super proactive and stubborn and sassy at times 😁 definitely not blank or super shy
I need this game localized! I'm eyeing Minami and I desperately need to play his route!! I"m so happy hearing the positive opinions as it's making me more excited. I'm also glad to hear that it isn't super horror based because I'm awful with it, although I can handle the tense and suspenseful atmospheres. I hope Aksys grabs the chance to localize this game (I don't trust Iffy with their translations considering the translation patch with Cupipara and apparently Charade Maniacs has some wonky translation as well).
Minami is so amazing, especially if you love the VA, but even not, his character is enchanting
Not at all horror, more slightly scary and school world brutal, the rest only tense or funny 😊
I also set my hopes on Aksys!
@@LinLinLavender I especially love Minami's VA so I have high hopes for him! I hope we can get a localization announcement soon! Thank you for making all these lovely otome game reviews!
@@severa4238 me too 😭 for a fan of his VA it's the best route 😍😍😍
I hope so too!
Sure, I genuinely enjoy sharing my reviews with everyone 🥰 thank for watching an having a little chat 💖
@@LinLinLavender I love his VA so much! I loved him even before I knew his voice (ft. Kashino from Yumeiro Patisserie haha). He also voices Quiche/Kish in the Tokyo Mew Mew New anime reboot so I've definitely been on the fangirling side with his roles as of late-and I look forward to hearing him in Radiant Tale too when the game gets home to me with Radie's route!!
@@severa4238 he's just sooo immensely talented 😍
Yes! Hope you'll like him as Radie!
omg, sounds perfect to me!
I wonder if I'll be able to complete it if it will be my first Japanese game 🤔
Maybe watch the promotional videos on the 9RIP Instagram and see if you can puzzle the sentences together?
@@LinLinLavender nice idea, thanks!🙏
I'm glad ya'll are enjoying this game so much ^^ I still won't touch it cuz all horror is nope nope nope lol but honestly that's just good for my wallet xD
Skip the school world and it's very yes yes 😁
Great review 🩷👏 I'm so glad you loved the game Linlin!! Still on my first route and seeing as I really like the school world so far I'm excited to see just how good the other worlds are!!!! >.
Thank you 🥰
Hm, maybe I should give the school world another chance? 🤔
So glad you're liking it so much as well! 🎉💖
so toilet-bound hanako kun otome game version? 😂
If someone introduced the game to me as a TBHK otome game version I would've gone feral on the spot for it no questions asked.
Any tips on someone who may not want to wait for the English release but can’t read a word of Japanese? Is there a guide I can follow or does Google translate give me a good idea 😂
I'm a fan of deepl translation, works very well
I was worried it'll be one of those plot based fake otome but it actually seems exciting. Henry❤
It's not a fake otome at all 😭 it's sooooo romantic and I think even more character driven than plot driven?
So great as Seiya 🥵
What are examples of fake otome?
Even if tempest. It's just plot
@@xxsnow_angelxx3953 I’m sure all those epilogues with full on smooching were totally fake too huh
Honestly I loved Yui so much, I wish she was dateable😢
She was a super great character! I also felt sorry for her, she needs a big hug
I actually didn't mean her, when I showed her, but the other ghosts in the school world (but couldn't show them of course)
Hope they localized this 😢
Yes!! ✨
Braucht man eigentlich extra ne switch aus Japan um die japanisch sprachigen otome games spielen zu können?
Ne, geht auch so 🎉 musst nur das Spiel aus Japan importieren oder einen japanischen Nintendo Account anlegen
@@LinLinLavender alles klar. Vielen lieben Dank für deine Antwort 🥰
Why 9 rip as title? Since there are 8 LI instead of 9...
Don't know 🤔
If he's secret, better add a spoiler warning to your comment 🙏
It’s not really a secret if you can count tho
Wish I could read Japanese! 😭
Hopefully Aksys will help you out with that 😜
now i gotta know what the secret/plot twist of the story is. anyone care to spoil me?
If you're still looking for it, there's a blogger who did a review + summary of the game. Just search "9RIP review" and click on anything, considering there are only a handful of reviews.
Oh no should I just get this game???? XD
Yes.
Longer answer: if you like bitter sweet fantasy love stories, yes
@@LinLinLavender my wallet is going to hate me XD
Edit: maybe I'll get it a little bit later and get radiant tale first ;)
@@dhaloshorns sure! Doesn't run away ☺️ enjoy Radiant Tale!

finished the game yesterday so i allowed myself to watch your review ~ 🥳
starting of i totally mixed the order while i played 😅 began with urban legends then followed by school world next was Ayakashi then finally Hell 😂 i do believe Ayakashi should be played last as breather 😉 my expeience was not affected by the order 👍i just couldn't forget Kouyo , his route was extremely fun ❤ liked the game overall , as my expectations were normal i was happy with what they presented ✨ the events in Minami's route were like a pleasant surprise 🎊 i'd like for otomate to take this bold step in more games 🎀as a horror fan it was not a dissapointment at all on the contrary i was impressed with school world specially Kureha's part 🌺also the small details that made the LI's somehow related/connected was a nice move 💛the vrey very last segment was extremely amusing ahhh how i liked the VA even more ❤🔥i was interested in him before when he played a side chara in piofiore , here he just was even more dazzling ! i wish him in more future works as main LI 🙏 My top 3 would have to be Koharu , seiya and kouyo 💘
thanks for the informative video
Do you like to go in blind in games?
Kouyou 😍
Minami was indeed the most interesting route!
Glad to hear you were satisfied with the horror!
Great that you were able to enjoy all the routes 🥰 didn't know Seiya made it to the top!
Anytime ☺️
I really REALLY hope this gets put on the localization list for 2024🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🩵
Me too!
