Normally I'd pick Yuuko, because she sounds chill, but how :science: is Yuina?

Also, you had it coming by offering it: D) Shiori

Because I hated high school and so will you. (Are you able to do Shiori? Like how bullshit is it when you have the rest of the internet at your disposal?)

Who would you say are the most interesting characters in this game, OP?
Yuina is a given, anyone else?

VV Fixed :downs:

Yeah this blowing Shiori's route out of the water. Saki is more adorable than Shiori too.

Holy poo poo are those printer cables? The ones made before USBs became a thing? Man that takes me back.

This is why I will never feel all that bad about delays in my LPs. No matter how long I take, it will never compare to the breaks in the Sakura Taisen LP. I'm glad it's around. It makes LPers feel better about delays due to busy schedules.

And come on you guys. You try to LP a game, translate and transcribe the text into English for every character! That poo poo takes work especially for a VN!

The problem is that the members of the counter-culture also had to grow up and face puberty. The social rejection coupled with societal frustration made them turn to something that would accept them, remind them of better days, make them seem necessary and gloss over their flaws. Why do you think most characters are naive, happy, wide-eyed girls? Because they are pretty much the most non-threatening character society can produce. This is also why many of these characters share physical traits with pets like cats and dogs.

Now it's true that while many counter-cultures have elements of sexuality in them, this one is much more directly related. So immediately you get into all sorts of messy issues; the sexualization and fetishization of underage girls, the unwillingness to confront their own issues by escaping into this fantasy land, the resultant misogyny that comes from this and so on.

I would guess this is why Otaku culture hates idols who have boyfriends and such. They remind them of their on issues and shatter the illusion they dragged themselves into. Though I will admit that I have no articles to back this up and am merely playing Internet Armchair Psychologist. So feel free to tell me that I'm talking out of my rear end.

While P4 is indeed an improvement over P3 in almost every way, P4's bosses are a boring slog in comparison. Unless Golden fixed that? Is Power Charge + Hasou Tobi still the way to go for every boss?

Because, y'know, a character told you they had one motivation but they really had another.

Really? Was that the reason people were complaining about it? :laffo:

Not for...

...Y2K orphans? (yes, THAT Y2K)
...Your protagonist receiving daydreams that are :words: as gently caress? While having relatively little bearing on the plot?
...Your protagonist being some orphan super genius?
...Nobody telling you just how much time you should invest in companies to fix their issues?
...Reading manga in a maid cafe literally giving you magic?
...The abuse plotline that has all the subtlety of a nuclear detonation?
...Claire never shutting the gently caress up about Rina?

I have one more, but sadly it's a major spoiler. I REALLY want to post it as it is the most :allears: :allears: :allears: thing.

Though on that note, Sheep which character would you say is the best representation of Tokimemo 3's problems?

Seraphic Neoman

Tokimemo 3 got pretty intense about an hour in. I didn't realize how quickly the action would ramp up and you'd have to be juggling bombs and dudes. It's hardcore.

Akane kinda took the lead on some dates. But I think it was mostly you who had to take the initiative.

You know, despite how long we spent together with Serika, we don't kn lo w what her deal is. I mean it was the same thing with Miho/Maho but we still knew that they were into fortunetelling/fashion.

Chibi Serika is adorable though :3:

Maybe we should all wait, then. You keep hyping this up, people are going to be disappointed if the game's author doesn't come over to vibratingsheep's house and dickslap him mid-stream. Plus, it's kind of annoying hearing people go OH THAT THING WAS AMAZING YOU KNOW THE THING WE'RE NOT GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT BUT IT WAS AN AMAZING THING YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE.

Ya know, if the first thing customers think when they enter your shop is "what a dump", calling them out on this does not make you seem wise or sharp-eyed.

Seraphic Neoman
Jul 19, 2011


I actually figured it out during the end dialogue scroll. The military ration, the bowie knife and the other other military stuff hinted this was going to happen. It is still extraordinarily retarded, Serika has never been shown to care much for her country or have any real reason to join the army, but we'll see if the event we missed clears this up.

I'm currently banking on the fact that this is Seikano, where Serika is a human weapon who protects the only peaceful slice of land from an encroaching war.

Seraphic Neoman

I can honestly say I did not expect that.

This does a lot to redeem the game for me, not gonna lie. Sheep, I know this must have sucked, but it was really, really worth it.

That outfit is funny, I keep seeing a clarinet in the part of the pole just before the Megalance.

Half of the lance is a clarinet as well. Weird loving design.
