It's always a matter of opinion. You believe that a good story needs proof of romantic tension popping up in the majority of lines? This game is a far cry from a sufficient blend between background story and romance, but otome games that are more complex in general are not always about chalking up the romance as much as what happens in the usual generic, gushy crap in these mobile apps.

I personally find it more interesting because it is not oozing with excessive 'Why is my heart speeding up? I'm too innocent to know what love feels like' blushing silliness. Chapter 6 is around the time in which the routes finally branch, and the romance with Gentoka really only perked up in Chapter 10. It might seem worse for you because you are progressing at a snail's speed with this system.

Sorry... why i can't choose furutsugu? Hehehe

Aiwethryne · **Reply #32 on:** July 13, 2014, 08:28:16 PM

Furutsugu has not been released as of yet. Simple as that. It's common in phone otome games. Money-squeezer... I feel like a broken record repeating this. While the original version of the game would allow the option since they all diverge from one path, this SWD version just makes things needlessly complicated.

Story stat:
Chapter 11, part 3

Suffering:
Gaah, Aterui. Everyone's so emo. Daily greeting is just getting more tiresome because there are soooo many game events going on. My body aches in unpleasurable ways.

Hope:
I dunno. Not looking.

Status: Gentoka Chapter 5 ish..

Level of suffering.. GAH the MC (is her "name" Shiki? I name her Azure..anyways) Is REALLY starting to bug me.. All Doom and gloom.. I would take ditzy MC's at the moment.. anything.. to get me out of this slog! Also.. the lack of romance.. and the slow pace.. GUH

Hope: Has been abandoned once mroe..

Aiwethryne · **Reply #35 on:** July 14, 2014, 06:45:08 AM

Err... I play eighteen phone otoge in total daily, eight of which are SWD. *shifty eyes* And, yes, the MC's name is really Shiki. Well, the default. If I weren't trying to make it easier for people to find me in the +Version, I would only use the default name.

Story status:
Gentoka~ Chapter 11, part 12

Suffering-ness:
I decided to take the chance with Zeni Slot when I hit another Passport Checkpoint, hoping dearly that it would not screw me over. I was in massive luck! My very first Zeni Slot spin in this game gave me a Passport. Usually it takes me at least 2000 game monies to land on one Passport, but I got three with 5000 Zeni and also got two of the Zeni avatar items. For extra reassurance, I also have a full Love Potion ready from spinning. Although it might not be needed, as I am a tick away from the Happy Ending bracket. So glad that I did not need to waste my time greeting a kajillion times more over the next half day for another 4000 Zeni as a safe precaution.

Gentoka is so dumb when it comes to human customs, it is almost painful~ <3

Hope:
I feel sated for now, so energy will be waiting for me when I wake~

I just can't... That S-Coin system doesn't make any sense... To get one 850 charm item I need 1500 S-Coins for which I would have to pay ~14EUR and purchasing that item would get me exactly nowhere because of the power system, while in the paid version 14EUR equals two routes! Gah!

Pocaguri · **Reply #37 on:** July 17, 2014, 07:11:52 AM

^^ yeah it seem like they are making more money with the "free versions" cuz ppl would love to shop the avatar and eventually gave in to buy some rice balls to finish or something..... I think it's a hint of that cause they keep releasing all these + version now, sometimes I get tempted to buy too lol but Personally I still like playing the free version over paid ones

Aiwethryne · **Reply #38 on:** July 17, 2014, 08:20:16 PM

I've been too tired to finish typing my rant, so here's my rant~ Noticed that you deleted and replaced your last comment, SunStarlight.

Yuuup. I don't know how that fits logic, either~ These have always been such overpriced dress-up games~~

In my callous perspective, the people who spend all that money are frigging idiots, yet there rises the reality that hundreds, even thousands of people follow this mentality out of weakness or ignorance. Does the amount of saved time with massive in-app purchases make that a good investment? Does s/he make a lot of money, come from an absurdly wealthy family, get donations for providing content online, receive large monetary gift cards for iTunes/Google Play, etc.?

Some of those people may have knowledge that a paid version of the SWD games will be/is available, yet countless numbers flock to the free version. You would think that a player who installs the free versions intends to play for free, as the paid version is the same exact thing but with no progress restrictions. Is it out of the need for internet prestige, or instant gratification that others are using their codes?

For all of the people who bitterly complain about money, which is better: spending an upwards of — or beyond — $100 USD for the completion of one route and the vanity of dressing up an avatar, or spending about $18 USD for three continuous, replayable routes? While there is no music and the game plays on a different axis, had this been on a console, this game would have marked up at $50 USD easily.

It amazes me how many people are "duped" into buying the avatar and energy items for the sake of speed in Scarlet Fate+. Each and every 850 Charm clothing that matches whichever character costs 1500 Coins. 1500 Coins is priced at $15.99 USD. For the five existing items, it totals to 7500 Coins — about $80 USD — for a 4250 Charm increase. The current #1 in Charm Level Ranking has 9991 Charm. How much money was splurged, I wonder?

Now, here I am at Chapter 12 in Scarlet Fate+. I have not spent a single cent on this game, but it took me as long as the application's release to get here and my Charm is currently only at 1462. I have nine Story Save Tickets, so I can replay the majority of Gentoka's route if I wished. I just won't have the opportunity to play every ending in his route unless I restart the route and play the entiiiire thing again, Checkpoints and all.

Story status:
Chapter 12, part 14

Suffering level:
I was all D8 at Furutsugu. Looking forward to his route~ Gentoka's emo-ness is just so overwhelming. I can't start the paid app until I get my new phone. My phone is supposed to arrive tomorrow~~ But I am pretty busy outside of my games, and I'd still need to install all my apps again.

Hope:
My phone comes tomorrow, and then I can play and play and plaaaay.

SunStarlight · **Reply #39 on:** July 17, 2014, 08:46:03 PM

Exactly my thoughts!
The charm is one thing, but those people with 6000+ EXP ranking... O_O
6000 EXP / 20 EXP = 300 rations...
30 rations = 2800 SCoins...

So to get that kind of progress you need 28000 SCoins which equals to ~180EUR (about 240 USD)
Uh...

Pocaguri · **Reply #40 on:** July 18, 2014, 02:25:48 AM

Lol same at one point I was just looking at the charm ranking and I was like woah how did she got so much must be spending a lot of $$$ ... Just like lost island+ gme just release someone already have 1700 charm..... Solmare going to keep releasing these + version they actually making more with these "free" version than paid version.....I spent $1 to get 2500 destiny ninja coin so far >.<

Gentoka ~ Chapter 13, part 10

Suffering-ness:
Sleepy. Gentoka's CGs are all so... depressing. I really want to change phones, but I am trying to ensure another game's survival.

Hope:
30 minutes. So here comes a nap.

Oh, cool. Game Center finally ranked me, and I am apparently #14. Still, I have no idea why that is, but it shows that non-money spenders can rank near the top.

SunStarlight · **Reply #42 on:** July 22, 2014, 07:51:49 PM

Story status: Kuso Chapter 11 checkpoint...
Level of suffering: Grrrrrrr...
Hope: New power tomorrow~

The Anniversary Event! I so want to place, but alas, not enough items! Curses! Those items! Argh! *whimpers*

OtomeBabe · **Reply #43 on:** July 22, 2014, 09:09:52 PM

As someone who never spend money for avatar in any Solmare game (no comment for other games

), I thank those players who's playing with real money. They're supporting me for getting nice, free stories and also Solmare so they can continue to release more main routes or spin offs (the reason why I play free version) that aren't available in paid version.

The suffering stage : zero
Hope : Furutsuguuuuu, can't wait to play your route

Aiwethryne · **Reply #44 on:** July 23, 2014, 12:34:04 AM

Yes, thank you, money spenders~ I still think you steep spenders are crazy, but at least the developers know that people who understand English want otome games.

Story stat:
Gentoka ~ Chapter 13, part 34

Sufferiiinnggg:
I seriously need that Furutsugu route. I knew how he'd possibly turn out based on his ideals, but it stings all the same. And I started Lost Island+. I got prizes for every game... except this one. 3__3 Oh, wait... ...

...Was it because I installed it on this device after LI? Bbxdhnd If so, JXNDNDNDNOkpl!! Game Center betrays me.

Hope:
Chapter 13 just ended, and I have a couple energy in wait.
