can u play kiniro corda 3 srry to bug u but there is only 1 review abt the game sooo plz
2.
Rin | March 16, 2011 at 12:03 pm
I have it on my backlog, so I’ll play it eventually. But I’m taking your request into consideration and will start it once I’m done with the games I’m currently playing. :3
3.
Fumiko | March 16, 2011 at 12:08 pm
wat are the games u are currently playing? i am curious :)
4.
Rin | March 16, 2011 at 2:33 pm
Currently playing Hanayaka Nari, Waga Ichizoku but it’d take some time before I can write the summaries. :D After that I still have Clock Zero and Desert Kingdom. I wanna clear my PS2 backlog since the ISO I ripped from the DVDs are eating up my harddisk. xD
5.
Jessica Chan | March 16, 2011 at 9:03 pm
i know u did kiniro no corda 2 but there is a third one
6.
Rin | March 16, 2011 at 9:35 pm
Yeah I know, I was talking about Corda 3 too.
I’ve finished Corda 2 and Encore years ago, minus forte and forte encore since I didn’t have a PSP back then.
7.
Fumiko | March 16, 2011 at 10:28 pm
well good review takes time to write, cant wait to read them though
i like Nadeshiko in Clock Zero, she is like Tiana, both arent a damsel in distress
cant wait to read them :)
8.
kayuune | March 6, 2012 at 5:04 am
Um if you don’t mind me instead I’m currently reviewing Kiniro no Corda 3 at my blog :D

mikurinshin | March 27, 2011 at 11:25 pm
Are all the eroges R-18? And if they´r not, wich do have na all-age version?
thank you
10.
Rin | March 28, 2011 at 12:01 am
Yeah they’re eroge, so they’re all R-18. :)
11.
mikurinshin | March 28, 2011 at 7:12 pm
okey, thanks :)
12.
mikurinshin | March 28, 2011 at 7:25 pm
by the way, do you know where I can download some englis subbed otome games, I cant speak japanese at all T_T
thank you
13.
Rin | March 28, 2011 at 10:50 pm
I don’t know as I play them in Japanese. Otome games rarely get translated into English.
There are a few English titles, but so far the only one I’ve played is only RE:Alistair.
If you wanna enjoy otome games I suggest you learn Japanese, just like what Fumi said.
14.
Fumiko | March 28, 2011 at 9:22 pm
Usually or maybe always otome games don’t get subbed (have yet to have an exception that I know of) because the developers have decided that there isn’t really a market here in North America, therefore I suggest u try learning jap and make do with what they give u
15.
Ran | March 31, 2011 at 5:45 am
Yay!! I love reading Clock Zero and Desert Kingdom the most! Reading the reviews, i mean :D. I’m not good with Japanese that much.
16.
Rin | March 31, 2011 at 12:12 pm
On my way of finishing Clock Zero. Summaries will be up when I have the time to finish writing them. :)
But it’ll probably take a while before I can touch Desert Kingdom..
17.
otome | April 10, 2011 at 6:43 am
what are you going to do next
18.
Rin | April 10, 2011 at 3:38 pm
You can see that on the sidebar.
19.
otome | April 10, 2011 at 11:20 pm
i can’t wait to see what game is going to come out
20.
otome | April 11, 2011 at 12:28 am
is it okay if u can do a game review that i like after you r done with the game review u r about to publish
21.
Rin | April 11, 2011 at 12:51 am
You mean like a request?
I can’t promise anything since my backlog’s piling up like a mountain, but tell me the title. Maybe I have it on my to-play list. :D
22.
otome | April 11, 2011 at 2:34 am
the title is d.c. girl’s symphony
23.
Rin | April 11, 2011 at 3:23 am
Actually I already did D.C.G.S some years ago.
I probably will do the portable version someday, but I can’t say when.
24.
otome | April 11, 2011 at 4:12 am
well thank u you r like a close friend 2 me because i hardly ever talk to my friends and my dim-witted of a cousin.it’s nice talking 2 u rin :)
25.
otome | April 11, 2011 at 4:56 am

26.
Rin | April 11, 2011 at 11:39 am
lol you can’t tell? xD
if you read my about page it clearly says I’m a girl.. and I don’t think the way I write is that manly either lol
27.
otome | April 11, 2011 at 8:01 pm
srry i know rin can be a boys or girls name anyway what game r u playing right now
28.
Rin | April 11, 2011 at 8:53 pm

that way people can easily see what game I’m playing now
29.
otome | April 11, 2011 at 10:03 pm
i hope u still keep writing reviews because you and your reviews r awsome
30.
otome | April 12, 2011 at 8:46 am
say rin u heard of this game called the last escort
31.
Rin | April 12, 2011 at 9:39 am
I have, and I’ve played the second one.
Not really interested in the first.. and I don’t like Club Katze’s art.
32.
otome | April 12, 2011 at 7:03 pm
u might do reviews on the last escort
33.
Rin | April 12, 2011 at 7:24 pm
No I won’t. It’s been quite a while since I played LE2, I don’t remember much details.
..and again, I’m not interested in the other two. Why don’t you try looking in other places? ._.
34.
otome | April 12, 2011 at 7:44 pm
oyeah they started showing one of the games in the shop in clubair
35.
Camillia | July 17, 2011 at 10:33 am
Hey there Rin! Love the reviews you’ve been posting so far, it’s nice to know what otome games are worth buying (thanks to your review I was able to buy Hanayaka, Moujuutsukai and will get Clock Zero) and I was wondering if you could do a summary of Musketeer?
I see you’re doing Takuyo games lately, but if you have the time, you should really try doing it since I heard it was good.
36.
Rin | July 26, 2011 at 11:02 am
Hello, glad to hear that my posts help you in buying games. :)
Everybody’s recommending Musketeer to me, so I’m thinking of doing it after Kaerubatake’s fandisk. Or before. Depending on my mood. But yes I will do it. xD
37.
Ayaka | August 6, 2011 at 1:14 am
hi rin.
once again thank you for your super useful reviews.
i’m really sorry if that’s a bother but i didn’t really knew to ask who.
you know that some games have multiple versions, for example, hakuoki.it has PSP and PS2 and PS3 versions.
all of games require a notable amount of money to purchase them, especially otomate and idea factory ones.
i was wondering if other versions of same games contain a different story, like if PSP version and PS2 versions are different? i wouldn’t like to miss the story you know…
38.
Rin | August 6, 2011 at 3:27 am
No, if it’s the same title then they’re exactly the same game..
The PSP version is usually the portable version, sometimes with new scenes added. Hakuouki and Hiiro no Kakera got a PS3 version too, but it’s basically the same.. just with enhanced graphics. If you have a PSP then I’d recommend getting the PSP version instead, for new scenes and CGs. You won’t miss anything from the PS2 version and get extras instead. The only drawback would be smaller CGs, but if you can tolerate that then go for PSP. :)
39.
Ayaka | August 6, 2011 at 11:23 pm
oh okay thank you. i just got my PSP! thank you Rin you’re the best!
40.
Rin | August 7, 2011 at 12:40 am
You’re welcome. Enjoy the otome games on PSP! xD
41.
Juzinha | August 26, 2011 at 9:27 am
Hi ^^ Love your reviews! Thank you so much for them!! I was reading the UtaPri one yesterday, and I saw that you changed the CGs! The new ones are soo better than the others!
Btw, will you do a review for Amazing Aria and Sweet Serenade? If you won’t, do you know if there’s any place that have them? I saw the CGs and OMG I must know the stories!!!! Syo all shirtless on top of Haruka! XD And It was a big surprise Ringo’s route and Mitsuo’s route…
42.
Rin | August 26, 2011 at 1:46 pm
Hehe yes I changed the CGs. I don’t think I have enough time to go through Repeat (since it’s basically the same game) so I’ll just take the CGs. Now things look so much better with proper CGs, they really should have done this from the start. xD
I’m planning to do AA and SS in the future, but I can’t say when since I’m currently flooded with new games.. and I can’t point any sites with reviews either because I’m not reading any spoilers before then, sorry. ;_;
43.
juzinha | August 27, 2011 at 8:20 am
I agree, they should have done that from the start XD And don’t worry, take your time and thanks anyway ^^ OMG! Sorry if I gave some spoilers!
44.
Euryx | September 2, 2011 at 10:13 pm
I’d like to ask for a game recommendation. ^^;;;;
I’m looking for a PC game set in modern time (or something not really complicated to understand). It’s neither really short nor too long. I’m not sure if every pc game is fully-voiced but it would be best if it is. PC games other than Starry Sky and Love Revo. Sorry if it’s too picky. ^^;;
45.
Rin | September 2, 2011 at 11:08 pm
Definitely Hotokenser! :D
But since it seems like you already put it into consideration, how about Bloody Call? It has a thick plot, but not too hard to understand. The action scenes are cool and the heroine can fight too. Other than that, Dare ni Demo Ura ga Aru is great too. :3
46.
Euryx | September 2, 2011 at 11:54 pm
Cool~! Bloody Call is just my type of story. I love action scenes and a strong heroine. The art is pretty too. :D Dare ni Demo Ura ga Aru looks good as well. I’d love to play the teacher route. :D But for now, I’ll go for Bloody Call. Thanks for the recommendations! ^_^
47.
Rin | September 3, 2011 at 4:37 am
No problem, I hope you’ll enjoy BC as much as I did! xD
48.
Ayaka | September 3, 2011 at 5:45 pm
Hi Rin. i just won a 10000 yen prize and is searching for a nice PSP otome game.
i scroll through internet for some interesting games but i couldn’t find any… except that Arcobaleno! game. it’s kind of old, 2009 or something? the plot seems stupid. some chef girl serves together with guys bla bla bla… but the idea is rather unique. and the art is really awesome! i wonder if these games are any good? i thought you might now something.
so other then this game do you have any suggestions? doesn’t matter if it’s expensive. and i don’t mind but it’d be good if it wasn’t mystery and action and gore and bla bla… just saw someone asked above and i asked as well lol!
49.
Rin | September 3, 2011 at 11:27 pm
PSP? Then I strongly recommend Hanayaka Nari, Waga Ichizoku. It has a great balance of romance, comedy and drama. The game has some actions, but the main point is the drama, so yeah lol. I feel sad that there’s only a few people who knows about this great game. ;_;
As for Arcobaleno, it’s a cute and light game focused on cooking.. but the plot is rather shallow. The routes are pretty short too, even though the romance scenes are cute. But yes it’s drawn by Miko, who’s also the illustrator for Beastmaster & Prince, so the art is pretty. xD
50.
Ayaka | September 4, 2011 at 1:01 am
whoa… is Hanayaka Nari in 3D? OMG…
thanks for the help!!! i’d be bored quickly if the character routes were short, and shallow games really aren’t my type. Hanayaka Nari seems pretty. RPG type, right? lol i’m a big RPG fan! thx for the advice xD you’re my favorite otome game reviewer you know that? lol thx again!
51.
Rin | September 4, 2011 at 1:34 am
LOL thank you. xD
HanaIchi isn’t an RPG, but it’s an interactive stat raiser. You can go around the mansion and town, do quests for people and such. The heroine is a maid, so it’s a really nice change from all the princess / high school girls we often find in otome games. It’s really fun. :D
52.
SK4E | September 11, 2011 at 4:40 am
what r u going 2 do after kaika aoiza
53.
Rin | September 11, 2011 at 3:04 pm
TYB Dark Cherry.
54.
Ayaka | September 28, 2011 at 2:14 am
hey Rin! is your backlog SOOOOOOO crowded right now? cuz i was gonna recommend you one game! ever heard of Storm Lover: Summer Love!! ? i borrowed my friends and it’s sooooo nice! though… i have to say it’s a little complicated. you can have a love triangle or chose your boyfriend from the beginning like Amnesia. or even use a classic method… just chose and get your boyfriend. the art is awesome and the publisher is D3 Publisher. i thought i could recommend a thing ;D i hope you don’t mind?
55.
Ayaka | September 28, 2011 at 2:14 am
oh and it’s in PSP.
56.
Rin | September 28, 2011 at 1:10 pm
Oh it’s on my backlog actually, both Storm Lover and Natsukoi. I gave it a try and got a boyfriend an hour into the game. Then another 30 minutes to become a バカップル.. lol. I don’t know when I can play it though, since I’m planning to do Gekka Ryouran, Death Connection and maybe Towa no Sakura next. But thanks for the recommendation, I’ll play it eventually. :D
57.
Ayaka | September 28, 2011 at 5:33 pm
No problem! i’m looking forward to your death connection and gekka ryouran reviews!
58.
Obluda | October 5, 2011 at 8:21 am
Will you review Café 0 from Roseverte? I’ve just started on it and the story sounds very intriguing!
59.
Rin | October 5, 2011 at 11:21 am
Actually I’m interested in the story and concept, but it’s not otome is it?
I might give it a try after I’m done with Death Connection and Towa no Sakura. :)
60.
hannahshikarirevenge | November 3, 2011 at 2:00 pm
do you have any otome game titles for the PSP you can recommend that’s in English? or has an English patch maybe?
I’m learning Japanese, but I still have a lot to go :3
so for now, I’m wondering if you can recommend anything?
61.
Euryx | November 12, 2011 at 7:04 pm
Hello~! First, wow lots of post since the last time I’ve been here. ^^;; I’m still in the middle of reading Death Connection lol.
Anyway, I’d like to ask a really trivial question. I’ve started playing Bloody Call and I need a walkthrough for it. I know you’ve already listed some links but I’m not sure which one to pick. ^^;; And I would also like to ask if it’s advisable to play it in this order: Wataru -> Kugami -> Cain -> Reimei -> Shirou -> JIn.
Sorry for the bother and many thanks! :)
62.
Rin | November 12, 2011 at 8:04 pm
For Bloody Call I used La Primavera‘s guide. My order was Reimei → Shirou → Wataru → Kugami → Cain → Jin, so I was gradually moving from Freikorps to NEDE and it was fun. You should leave the NEDE guys for last before Jin, because despite the cover art and all.. Reimei and Shirou are not the main guys. xD
63.
Euryx | November 12, 2011 at 8:27 pm
Thanks a lot for the guide! :)
Uwaaah, I thought they are one of the main guys other than Jin. ^^;;
Many thanks for the help! ^^
64.
Rin | November 12, 2011 at 9:32 pm
No problem. :3
65.
Jessica Chan | December 5, 2011 at 1:16 am
i saw on the otomate website that they r going to release a new game of AMNESIA and
Hanaoni r u going to review them when they come out?
66.
Rin | December 5, 2011 at 3:25 am
Yes, I’m gonna do the fandisks.
67.
Anime Lover (@SasagawaKyoko) | December 7, 2011 at 9:00 pm
Hello,
I have a question?
Do you know Amnesia’s artist’s name, S.Y.K too if possible?
Or are they the same artist?
68.
Rin | December 8, 2011 at 2:19 am
No, they’re done by different artists.
S.Y.K is illustrated by Nagaoka (Clock Zero, Kamikimi), while Amnesia is by Hanamura Mai (Desert Kingdom).
69.
Anime Lover (@SasagawaKyoko) | December 8, 2011 at 3:07 am
I see, thank you very much
70.
ninjanai | January 6, 2012 at 6:21 am
Is Shinigami to Shoujo on your to play list?
71.
Rin | January 6, 2012 at 7:30 am
Yes, but I don’t know when will I have the time to play it.
Especially since there’s a lot of exciting releases in 2012.. orz
72.
Lynnie | January 13, 2012 at 1:56 am
Ooooh! May I request if you could review Gakuen Hetalia Portable? *____*
73.
axel | January 13, 2012 at 3:59 pm
Due to Rin having internet problems at the moment, I’m the one who’s going to reply for you. She’s not into Hetalia so most probably she won’t make a review out of it.
74.
Lynnie | January 14, 2012 at 3:38 am
Aww, I see. :( I hope Rin gets WordPress works for her!
75.
Nagisa | January 13, 2012 at 6:45 pm
Hi rin, sorry to bother you… can I request Wand of fortune and Wand of fortune 2? The japanese language in there are so hard,I cant even undestand whats going on (expecialy in WOF 2)…
76.
axel | January 13, 2012 at 8:07 pm
Hello! Like what I said above, Rin is having internet problems and because of it she can’t open WordPress, so I’ll be the one answering for her. She’s not taking requests anymore due to her work plus she has a lot of games in her hands.
77.
Link | January 21, 2012 at 8:21 pm
Hi Rin!
How are you doing? I hope you’ll get plenty of time for otome games during Chinese New Year. Even though it’s still too early, Happy Chinese New Year aka Happy Holidays!
- Um, do you get any holiday? -
Actually, I read some of your HanaIchi Kinema reviews recently and must wholeheartedly admit, I am truly captivated by the brilliant character interaction!! It gives off AF vibes, which I’m loving to pieces. .<
Anyhow, I am still a student and import games are luxury investments, at least for me. Other factor like time should also be considered *sigh*… I heard that SYK also has good character interaction + development. Before I proceed, I would like to ask for your sincere opinion hehe.
Either of which would you recommend for best chara interaction + development? HanaIchi / SYK?
Thanks in advance! I will eagerly wait for your feedback ^_^
78.
Rin | January 22, 2012 at 12:48 am
Hello. :D
Yes, I get holiday for Chinese New Year. Happy Chinese New Year to you too!
I hope you can spend quality time with your family, or maybe get a lot of red envelopes. :3
HanaIchi and Kinema are actually really similar to Arcana, in the sense that they don’t have narration / description — they’re all dialogues. That’s why the interactions are so awesome, because they’re building the story purely on dialogues. S.Y.K was great too, but I’d pick HanaIchi + Kinema any day. They’re way more voluminous compared to S.Y.K, and they have deeper storyline too with a lot of dramatic twists. So yes, I recommend getting HanaIchi. Kinema too if possible. xD
79.
Link | January 22, 2012 at 9:21 am
Thank you for your feedback, Rin. :3
I think HanaIchi is a nice pace of change instead of the regular supernatural otome games. Furthermore, Mirinda (S.Y.K) irked me with his typical playboy antics. Adversely, HanaIchi looks promising in character selection as none seems to faithfully follows common archetype.
May I know what’s a Twin Pack? Does it include both original and FD games?
I was thinking about buying HanaIchi Twin Pack but I am uncertain of the contents, though.
P.S: I hope it is not too much to ask you to continue writing detailed reviews on Kinema. I saw your reviews on it and was amused in a good way at the insanely looong reviews, so please write them more! LOL. ^_^
I don’t know anyone else who could translate it for me here. And most girls around my age here are more interested in learning Korea language haha. D:
Lastly, thanks for the detailed reviews on HanaIchi and your feedback. (-_^)
80.
Rin | January 22, 2012 at 10:32 am
Yes, a Twin Pack = original game + fandisk. Since you don’t have the first HanaIchi yet, I’d say get the Twin Pack because it’s much cheaper compared to buying them separately. I hope there will be a Twin Pack for Arcana and the fandisk too so I can get both. xD Oh, and don’t worry, I will continue writing detailed reviews for Kinema. They’re insanely LONG because that’s just how long the fandisk is lol. I think they can call it a sequel instead because that volume just don’t fit a fandisk’s. 8D
81.
Link | January 22, 2012 at 7:28 pm
Thank you. Indeed, Twin Pack is much cheaper compared to buying them separately. Oh, you’re buying two copies for Arcana? XD
Yes, I never thought Arcana will sell very well in Japan market. If I know a FD will follow sooner, I would rather wait for the Twin Pack as well, so I could save up more money. *laughs*
I guess HanaIchi is best enjoyed as a slice of life drama? I was wondering, how long does it take for you to finish a single route in HanaIchi? *Trying to juggle my time prudently LOL*
AF took me days to finish a single route because I need to keep referring to the dictionary. But nevertheless, the reward is worthwhile as I understand more Japanese now. *proud with her achievement*
Let’s see how many otome games I can stuff in a single year. I have yet to start CZ and Peter Pan, too. C:
Um, Rin you’re not doing Peter Pan reviews right? I see that you are doing marathon on mostly Otomate games. ^_^
82.
Rin | January 22, 2012 at 10:51 pm
Back in HanaIchi, it was one day per each guy because I didn’t take detailed notes like with Kinema.. but for Kinema, it’s taking me around 3-4 days to finish one guy since there’s no general route lol. HanaIchi might feel like a slice of life drama between important events, but most of the time it’s both dramatic and funny at the same time. :3
Actually, I did quite a lot of QR games in the past. I just haven’t touched them ever since I started blogging, and I ditched Mahoutsukai to Goshujin-sama New Ground because they have like 17263256238 endings and I just don’t have enough time to get all of them.. orz I’m planning to play Peter Pan though! It’s just I’m currently flooded with a lot of games lol. Most of my reviews are Otomate’s games since they’re the one releasing most games. 8D
83.
Link | January 23, 2012 at 8:08 am
Wow! Thank you for your impressive conscientious work, Rin! I didn’t know you’d have to sacrifice enormous time, just to write out detailed reviews for Kinema. But rest assured, I’m sure you’re slowly enticing more people to buy HanaIchi, just like me! XD
Dramatic + funny are just my cup of tea. I’m sure HanaIchi will keep me occupied for several months since my Jap reading + listening abilities are slow, plus school!! D:
Yeah, Peter Pan shall mark my milestone on QR, since I’m particularly not interested in their previous games for its tedious system + character design. The reason I bought Peter Pan is because I heard that QR started to abandon their RPG style system, and sharakael just remarked how awesome that game is. :3
Glad to hear you’re doing Peter Pan as well. I guess I won’t be rushing to start PP then. I’m taking the safe path with CZ, since your reviews on CZ could help me to conform my vague ‘guess’ on what’s happening in the game. XD
Until then, I’ll be eagerly anticipating your upcoming reviews on HanaIchi, and Peter Pan as well LOL. (^_-) *Stalks your blog*
Happy Chinese New Year! Last time I wished it too early… And let’s eat those Mandarin oranges
and oishii lasagna!!84.
Rin | January 23, 2012 at 10:43 am
Happy Chinese New Year!
Nah, it’s not a sacrifice because otome games are a part of my life. I’ve been otome gaming for 10 years now. 8D I hope these uber-long reviews are convincing though, since we do need to support the developers. With Hanaichi, you probably don’t want to end it too quickly. I keep thinking of replaying because I didn’t want the game to end, and with Kinema I’m just taking my time lol.
If you wanna see Peter Pan first before playing it, Yume at chocolatemix is posting the reviews. :D

HI Rin!
How was your holiday?
I went back to my hometown and unfortunately, there are no Internet connection there. D:
I’m sorry to hear about your PSP. Though I believe it is not exactly a pain to replay Kinema? XD
I’m replaying AF though since I didn’t get a good grasp of what’s happening before since I just skipped the dialogues most of the time without referring to a dictionary. *Initially I was elated about the CG. Let’s hope I won’t do it again for CZ and PP*
Thanks for the link, Rin. I just check out the link that you gave me, and Yume did post some awesome PP reviews! Thank you. :3
In fact, I’ll be checking every links that you put in your blogroll. (^_~)

Hello! I spent my holiday at home. 8D
Well.. otome games have skip functions, so that really helps a lot. I was happy to play Isami and Kisuke’s route all over again, though I wish my new MemStick won’t die anymore lol. I’m going to replay Arcana again after I’m done with Kinema. :D
Oh, if you’ve played Peter Pan, do share your opinion about the game!
I’ve been hearing good reviews about the game, but if it’s long then I don’t think I’ll play it soon. I need a break after plowing through Kinema. xD

Yay for a second Arcana replay!! XD
LOL yeah I don’t mind replaying fun game with lots of tasteful comedies, though. A few good laugh is what I need after a long stressful day at school.
And that’s what I expect HanaIchi to deliver. ^_^
Yeah I was planning to start PP soon, too. But I’m not sure about the span since my ‘long’ is probably ‘short’ for you LOL. What’s your average in Arcana?
I did take a quick peek at Yume’s review and spoil myself quite a bit. From her reviews, I must say the whole premise and character selection is stellar by fairy tales standard. I’ll let you know the rest when I beat the game. XD
I guess I might as well start a blog some day since I got a lot to talk about RPG and my new-found otome interest. ~_~
Do you play RPG as well, Rin?
88.
Rin | January 28, 2012 at 11:04 am
What do you mean by “average”?
If you’re referring to completion time, I finish one route per day while writing notes at the same time, so it’s pretty short. Too short actually. I want more. :3
Oh, and yes I play RPG too. I just don’t blog about them because it’d take a lot of time lol. Recently I haven’t been playing other genres than visual novels / otome games, but there’s a high chance of me pausing otome games to play RPG someday. So if you don’t see me updating regularly, that means I’m occupied with other genres.. though probably I’ll put up their banners. xD

Rin | January 30, 2012 at 6:37 pm

But don’t worry, I will play it someday and write a review for it.

Hi Rin! : D I’ve never bought/played an otome game before, and I’m sorta waiting for Black Wolves Saga haha (Will you play that if it comes out? I hope you could, because I don’t know any Japanese xDDD), but in otome games, the companies seem to sell two different editions. o-o One’s like, $60 and the other would be $80. I’m wondering why the other is $80 and what the difference between them is! Sorry for being an annoying newbie >< I hope I made a right choice in getting BWS XD
92.
Rin | March 4, 2012 at 3:28 am
Hello! :D Yeah, I’ve been keeping an eye on Black Wolves Saga for quite a while now. I’m definitely going to play Bloody Nightmare when it comes out next month. As for the price, it’s different because most games have regular and limited edition. The limited edition is obviously more expensive, but it has bonuses like drama CDs, artbooks or posters. Limited editions usually come with a pretty box too. Oh, and no you’re not being annoying at all! :3
93.
Lynsum | March 4, 2012 at 12:15 pm
Oooh! The limited edition sounds really tempting ! XD The cast for BWS seem to be really great and the art is so beautiful! Hehe thanks so much! <3
94.
Rin | March 5, 2012 at 2:45 am
No problem! Bloody Nightmare has violence and blood though, and some of the routes (like Mejojo’s) sound like pure madness.. though you probably already know this. xD;;

harukathecathugger | March 15, 2012 at 4:33 am
Hi Rin :)
I was just wondering have you tried Hakuoki: The Demon of the Fleeting Blossom? It came out in English so do you think this might be a start for otome games to be localized? > v <)
98.
Rin | March 16, 2012 at 2:07 pm
Hello. I’m not playing English Hakuoki because I’ve already played the Japanese version, but it would be nice if it can open the door for more otome games to be localized. I’d like to see them improving their translations though, since to be honest I’m not impressed by the amount of curses / swears in Hakuoki. xD;

roiyachan | March 16, 2012 at 12:56 pm

101.
Roiya | March 16, 2012 at 4:22 pm

Can you upload cgs of hanaichi and cinema mosaic so I can download it. I try to find it but I didn’t get it, I always like this game, because the story is about maid and her lord, and there’s little history and politic. I want to play it but I can read japanese, so I’m so happy cause u wrote their story in very detail :)
I always waiting for you update, I like your blog so much, I can’t wait for your update to brothers conflict, good luck
103.
Rin | April 6, 2012 at 4:09 pm
I usually don’t accept requests for CGs, but.. leave me your e-mail and we’ll see if I can send them to you. :3

neiyha | April 7, 2012 at 1:58 am

Hi Rin,
If you don’t mind, can you tell where I can get guide for Atelier Elkrone ~Dear for Otomate~ ? And btw, do you know if there’s going to be 2 Black Wolves Saga game? (Last Hope & Bloody Nightmare)
Thanks : ), and sorry if I’m being annoying.
106.
Rin | May 19, 2012 at 9:11 pm
Hello! For Elkrone, I’m following this guide.
Oh, and yes I know BWS will be split into two games. I haven’t played Bloody Nightmare yet, but I hope Last Hope will be milder. :3
