And Hatsuyuki Sakura is finally out!!! And I’m going to skip out on my huge backlog of games (AGAIN) to get through this epic adventure (cause there’s like seven or so routes, some of them you have to unlock by nabbing other ones first). And then I’m going to write a nice little review writeup on this blog.

And I’m going to make promises I might not be able to keep. ;)

Managed to finish the trial, and it hit me hard as to why you have chosen to use that particular image…(You sly fox). Definitely a must play for me as I am very excited about the development at the end of the trial. But beyond that, I really like how the story is unfolded in a rather curated manner. If anything, the trial really got my conspiracy vibes going…

Waiting for end of February just got abit harder, can’t wait for more of…all the characters really :D, they are all so delicious.

There’s a spring title? Unless you mean coming humming, which was a long while ago.

Natsuyume Nagisa didn’t really click well for me, Kisaragi Gold Star were much better but there are some questionable plot development reducing the overall value, and I’ve yet to play the ‘Spring’ title yet. I have great hopes for their ‘Winter’ title and let’s hope that it really will turn out as we both expected.

I refrained from playing the trial in order to minimize the re-reading which might lower my excitement.

A brooding, cold, lone wolf guy huh? you’ve got my interest piqued! Now if only he is also a hard-boiled type…it’d be “icing” on the cake :D.

Bad puns aside, I really enjoyed the games where they focus on the beauty of an object, like with Sukima (Sakura) or Asairo (Autumn) as they tend to take you to appreciate the lighter things in life, or as some people like to call it in its Japanese term: mono no aware. In Hatsuyuki Sakura’s case it looks like it’ll be about Winter/Snow, where similar to fireworks, is beautiful because it ends quickly. So definitely looking forward to this one, now that you mentioned it. Thanks!

Aside: Typing out Hatsuyuki Sakura made me realize the naming sense is really similar to Natsuyume Nagisa…coincidence? I wonder.

Prominence. Anyway… This game is fairly good just as a slice of life with a bit of magic eroge… but it would have been much better if they’d used the setting to give it a more serious edge throughout the story, rather than suddenly springing the serious stuff on you at the end and making everything into a happy ending regardless of what happened in the intervening steps. As it is, it is overfocused on the romance part of the story and as a result the serious parts seem almost like an add-on, even though they had a fairly high potential. In addition, the endings inevitably only show the characters a month or so past the end of the climax of the story, which is really disappointing for people who want to see what the characters end up doing with their lives afterward. Also, considering the powerful side-characters, it is obvious that they intend for there to be a fandisc eventually… I can see at least two new routes being added on.
