Time For Finishing Touches! +Collar x Malice +Otome Endings

Hello! Welcome back to another post! With this post I'll also be talking about two things. Let's start off with the one I'll probably spend the least amount of time talking about. So this week the English version of "Collar x Malice" came out! It's for PS Vita and you can order it on amazon for $39.99. The next game coming up in English for PS Vita is "Bad Apple Wars", which shall come out September 29th of this year. Anyways, that's all I really have to say on that. So let's move onto the next thing. Now the last post I posted, I ended up talking about Yandere's. Though I tended to also talk a bit about endings. So that is what this post is about! Let's start!

In the last post I mentioned something about liking some bad endings I get. Though I also mentioned on how the other half of endings I get just make me want to curl up into a ball and cry. Which is true. When it comes to bad endings I think it all depends on the characters and what the game is/about. There are also times where I tend to aim for bad endings, even if I have to go back and replay that section. Which is why I always save on decisions. Though it is smart to save on them anyways if you can. Also with some games it tends to be easier to know what leads to a bad end and what doesn't. Same thing when it comes to affection. Like in Norn9 when you choose a decision, you will get a orange up arrow if you choose the right choice and leveled up his affection. 

In the end though I think it all just depends on the type of person you are. Like some people tend to like normal endings better than the happy/sweet ending. (In all due honesty I sometimes agree depending on the game and how they present both endings.) But it does also depend on how they present everything in the end. I would say it still also depends on the story also. I think I'll end this post here though. I'll probably continue this talk at some point but I'm just out of time. But if you want to comment or mention something about endings then comment down below! Or else I'll talk to you guys later!

Let's Mix The Batter! +Dream Daddy +Yandere's

Hello! Welcome back to another post! I'll be talking about two things in this post. The first one being about the new game that came out called "Dream Daddy". I'm planning on buying this game it's just that I haven't had the chance to yet. Though I am watching gameplays of it though, because I can't resist not waiting to get it. Though I'm not searching for spoilers or anything and I'm only watching the gameplay on Markiplier's channel, so so far it's not really that much that I know of. But for the people who don't know what "Dream Daddy" is then it is basically you being a dad and you end up dating other dads. So now I think everyone gets the gist of it. I honestly think though that you would of had to of been away from the internet for a few days to not notice the game. Especially since it's kinda been blown up since it came out. I should also mention that it is $15.

The other thing I'm going to be talking about in this post is yandere's. I don't think I've really mentioned them in any of my posts, like I might of mentioned them but I don't think I've really talked about them. Now in all honesty I'm a person who actually likes yandere's. I have no problems with them what so ever and feel like the just tend to add a lot more excitement and energy to the game. I'm also a person though who also enjoys the bad ends and dangers to otome games also though. Now obviously half of the bad ends I play make me want to roll into a ball and cry my heart out. While on the other hand, the other half makes me actually not regret getting that type of ending just due to what it was. Though talking about endings are for a different post. This post is just about yandere's.

In all due honesty I can understand how people could hate yandere's. I've read posts and rants about them and I understand their point of view of it. I even see people making them into these memes/random funny posts and I laugh at those. Just because I like them or tend to enjoy their roues doesn't mean that I can't laugh along to things like that or find them funny. It's just that I feel like if there weren't yandere routes in otome games then that could lead to a boring game sometimes. I haven't played any boring otome games and even if some of the ones that I enjoyed didn't have yandere's, then I bet they would still be amazing and fun games.

Though yandere's I think tend to give the reader a thrill while playing the game. Even if you don't like them you still tend to get some sort of thrill. Not only that but they also seem to be the basis of a lot of bad ends. Yandere's are also not only characters that just seem to be there like that also. Most yandere's tend to have a back story as to why they are like that. Every yandere needs some sort of basis as to why they act like that or else it would just be weird for them to act like that or to be in the game. If you think about yandere's then it would actually probably be very weird if they weren't in otome games especially certain ones. It's like they need to be there just like any of the other stereotypes we have in otome games. Just due to that fact that they are also just part of the genre.

Not only that but people all like different stereotypes and different things in the end so. I think I'll end this post here. If you want to state your opinions down below then feel free! Or else talk to you guys later!

It's Time To Put The Cookies In! +OTOME YUSHA

Hello! Welcome back to another post! For this post I'll be talking about a game called "OTOME YUSHA" by LEVEL-5. This game is not yet out and so far this game is only going to be in Japanese, but I'd still like to talk about it. Before I start though I'd like to say that I got all my information from this website so I'll put the link to the page/post down below, also to the game's official site as well. This is an otome game that is going to be released on IOS and Android. This is an RPG/otome game. You have to save the world by defeating demons with 24 slayers. You get to choose your favorite character and can build up a special relationship with him by finishing stories.

This is the first otome game title by LEVEL-5. The artist for this game is the same one for "Uta no Prince Sama", for the people who find the art style recognizable. This game is also free to play. I actually hope this game comes out in English. It doesn't really matter how long I wait for it, since I feel like it would be worth the wait. Not only that but I feel that a lot of otome game apps get translated much more than otome games on other platforms. (Though the PS Vita is actually getting a lot more English translated otome games. Or I guess I should say they are starting to.) In all due honesty with some of the characters I can't help but feel this "Alice in Wonderland" vibe. And I'm not complaining about it since I'm such a huge "Alice in Wonderland" fan to begin with, so it actually makes me want to play it more.

Of course I don't feel this way with all of the characters, but if you go and look at all the characters I'm pretty sure you will know the ones I'm talking about. Also just like with every (or most?) RPG's there are of course cards! Theses cards will raise the character's power. Theses cards are called 'Spirit' cards. There is also a thing called 'Spirit Burst'. It happens when your character's HP becomes low. This makes the character increase their attack and they will disclose their clothes. Though by doing this the character will have a decrease in defense.

I think I'll end this post here. If you want to know more about this game then I'll leave the links in the description! Also since there are still more things that I didn't go over, plus the pictures of the characters and everything. So go check them out! Or else I'll talk to you guys later!

An Otome Anniversary Cake! +Mystic Messenger's 1st Year Anniversary!

Hello! Welcome back to another post! The first thing I'm going to talk about in this post is about "Mystic Messenger"s first year anniversary! Around one - two weeks ago Cheritz had a pole to see which character would be getting a body pillow. The results to the pole just came out yesterday. In the pole you could've choose the character you wanted, what they wear (costume), and what characteristic they show/do. The character that came in first place in both International and Korean polls was 707. I didn't do the poll since I love all of them equally so I left it to other fans, but even I saw this coming. In the "Mystic Messenger" fandom there is a lot of 707, so this result didn't really surprise me.

The outfit (costume) that came in first place for him was a butler costume. The characteristic that was voted most was seductive. You can pre-order him now and if you pre-order you get 1st year anniversary mug (version 1 - 707 mug). They also made a body pillow for the 2nd place character also! Again this didn't really surprise me on who it was. The character in 2nd place is Jumin Han, from both International and Korean polls. Now his body pillow is based on the concept "Possessive Jumin Han in Suit". If you pre-order his body pillow than you will get the bonus of "Mystic Messenger" anniversary mug (version 2 - Jumin mug). Both body pillows are $89. They also come with no pillow inserts.

They also have emoticon cushions of all the RFA members (Jaehee, ZEN, Yoosung, 707, and Jumin). These actually do come with pillow inserts. There is a different emoticon on each side of the character. You can buy one for $23 or you can buy all 5 of them in a pack for $89. If pre-order one of the pillows than you get one random character badge. If you pre-order the set then you get all 5 badges. They are also doing something if you go into the app. For their 1st year anniversary, when you go into the app you will get 100 hourglasses, 365 hearts, and 24 hours of free max speed. Also when you go into the app you will be greeted by a character. This was started on July 8th and will go on til July 11th.

I now shall end this post. If there is anything in this post that you would like to talk or comment about then comment down below! For now though I'll talk to you guys later!

A New Order! +Aksys's 2018 English Releases!

Hello! Welcome to a new post! For this post I'll be talking about the new upcoming otome games for 2018! The reason why I'm calling them new though is because they have been out awhile in Japan, but they are getting English translated. So they are going to be new for the English fanbase. Anyways the first one I'm going to talk about is "7'scarlet". This is one of the games that is getting English translated. Honestly right now I'm probably most hyped for this one to come out just due to the fact that it's art style is "Uta no Prince Sama"s and that one of the voice actors in it is also a Utapri voice actor. Though in all due honesty the story is really interesting and seems like something I would totally be into, so I'm looking forward to this one the most so far. It's story/summary (with it's link down below):

The summer holdays.
A town caged by nature, Okunezato.
One year ago in this town, her older brother suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Shaped like a fragment of the moon, a nostalgic atmosphere permeates the town. It is known for having many legends and folklores. As a result of the continued population decline, the amount of modern-looking buildings have increased in the main street. The town is starting to gain attention due to its status as a “mystery hot spot” amongst the youngsters in the underground scene.

One day, during summer vacation, the protagonist and university student Hanamaki Ichiko is invited by Kagutsuchi Hino- her childhood friend in the same university year level as her- to go to Okunezato in order to look for her disappeared older brother together. Hino had found the “Forbidden Okunezato Club”, a website in which its visitors discuss the mysteries and legends of Okunezato. Taking advantage of the offline meeting between the visitors that will take place during the summer holidays, he suggests to look into her brother’s disappearance during this time. With Hino having pushed her back, Ichiko wills herself to go to Okunezato.

The young men from the Forbidden Okunezato Club website had gathered at the Fuurin Hotel- the live-in chef Amari Isora, the cat lover otaku Kushinada Toa, the med student Tatehira Sousuke and the owner of Fuurin Hotel Murakumo Yuzuki. Others such as the genius middle schooler who assists with managing the hotel, Hirasaka Yuki, the landscape photographer Tsukuyomi Kagura, the unsociable novelist Karasuma Chikage and the video game-loving female employee of Fuurin Susano Yua also become involved as they all get caught up in mysterious incidents.

The “other face” of Okunezato comes to light as rumours regarding the “Legend of the Dead” are treated as though they were fact. Everytime they follow the footsteps of her disappeared brother, mysterious events spark. The true existence of the forbidden grounds, and the legendary flower that only blooms in Okunezato…

The truth behind these incidents lead to a surprising and totally unexpected ending.
(END)

The next games I'm going to talk about are "Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly" and "Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk". Apparently from what I read is that you don't need to play one to understand the other or to enjoy the other. Sadly I can only find the story to "Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly", though no matter what this also seems like something right up my alley. It kinda seems like a horror otome game. (Maybe with some mystery.) I love horror and romance stories so these types of otome games always tend to be my favorite types. "7'scarlet" also seems to be like a horror/mystery also. Anyways here is "Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly" story/summary (With the link down below, though I'm sorry I couldn't find the one for "Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk" but maybe you could find it.):

As she fell deeper and deeper into the darkness, she could hear the sound of rainfall.
Also, she heard an animalistic cry.

When she woke up, the young girl found herself in a Western-style mansion.
An unknown, terrible monster rushes to attack the confused girl.
As the young girl ran away from the monster, she thought:

“Where is this place?”
“Who am I, anyway?”

Having lost pretty much all of her memories, she eventually met and joined up with some men in the same circumstances as her.
They all held weapons that were strange handguns.
From there on out, with their lives at stake, they must participate in the “Black Butterfly Hunt”, and collect “Kaleidoscope Shards” possessed by those monsters.

Inside the Western-style mansion in which despair and betrayal swirls, will they be able to find hope in their futures?
(END)

The next and last game is "Code: Realize ~Bouquet of Rainbows~". Now, so far all we know is that this game is coming out on the PS4. This also seems to be a complication of the first game and Future Blessings. Though or else that's really it. Before I end this post I want to say that all of theses games (except "Code: Realize ~Bouquet of Rainbows~" that we know of) are going to be on the Vita. So it might be a good idea for people who don't have a PSVita to ask for one for Christmas or to buy one. I'm also going to say that there is now a set release date for "Bad Apple Wars". Which is September 29th of this year. Also for those who don't know. "Collar x Malice" is going to come out at the ned of this month! Now all we are waiting for is "Code: Realize ~Future Blessings~".

But for now I'll end this post here! Comment down below the game you are most excited to play so far! Or else talk to you guys later!
