Started playing My Fairy Tales+. I like Marybell can I choose her instead of the guys. She's really cute and has personality.

[Sakuragawa]

Wakasa! It sounds like a woman's name

Spoiler  Hidden:

(Tokyo Crazy Paradise)

I thought he would have purple hair too, but it's brown! 
He may be my type. *doki doki* *waku waku* 

edit:
Wakasa feels very dangerous and untrustworthy. Maybe, cuz he's a doctor.

Spoiler  Hidden:

Cold and Heartless? I don't doubt that one bit

I want to see his true self.

A certain demon's uncle now has his own route in Angel or Devil~~

Raug~! To think that I just reached the ending for Latis' route using all my Souls, and now I can't read it. But I do have 4 energy because I was waiting to start it, and they'll be going to Raug, now.

Spoiler  Hidden:

...I instantly feel like he had a man-crush on the MC's brother...

OMG He has a lips licking sprite! *fantards*

[Sakuragawa]

I changed the subject/topic title thing cuz I wanted to talk about otoge other than SWD? so :P yeah.


The first name last name thing always bothers me since I'm used to seeing family name first then given name, cuz of Japanese stuff.

So it puzzles me that the MC in MFW: PARTY addresses all the characters by their given name except for Saeki's(What's his full name again?). At first I thought she was calling Takao by his surname, but it turned out to be his given name. :/

Spoiler  Hidden:

like Takao Kazunari

I play these games thinking of their family names first and given names last. I also prefer (suffix)honorifics like san, chan, sama, dono etc, over prefixes like Mr., Miss etc.

[Aiwethryne]

Isn't that the point of this entire section of the site? You know... General otome game discussions. My eye is twitching at the redundancy. You're capable of making as many threads as you want... An MFW thread does not exist. Make one yourself.

I'd rather have this return to being only about SWD so that people will know what they're getting into before possibly reading the posts. It would also invite other people of that specific series to chime in. Or, sure, make a "rant at any game" thread.

And Takamasa Saeki. *points at the walkthroughs...*

[Sakuragawa]

  Okay, I changed it back.


  There sure are alot of ninja in SWD? games, and not enough samurai(not ronin, okay maybe). Even though Yoshitsune is supposedly a samurai, he's more like a ninja.

I played Genji: Dawn of the Samurai, a game for PS2, that has Yoshitsune and Benkei in it as the main characters. I liked the PS2 game more, and played it before I started Destiny Ninja. It took a while for me to get used to them in the game, since they were so different.

Spoiler  Hidden:

I can't tell if these otome games are supposed to be fluffy, cheesy, romantic, tragic, or ridiculous...definitely ridiculous. The storylines and characters are really inconsistent. Most(if not all) of the games' heroines act like uncultured peasants and are constantly surprised and flustered. Most of the guys at some point say that the MC is strange or weird, a child, and has no sex appeal. Then when confession time comes, it turns out that the guys have liked them all along, or had grown to love them. The heroines are always having heart palpitations too without knowing why.    I don't usually like assertive girls but in this case I think these girls need to be more assertive.

Also do these games ever end/conclude? 

  phew I've been wanting to get some things off my chest.

[Aiwethryne]

Many of us have already established in our minds that most of these stories were written by delusional Japanese men who think that women should be weak-minded prudes with extremely lewd bodies. The characters who keep saying that the MC is like a child and crap like that are usually the cookie cutter tsunderes or womanizers - traits that seem to appeal to females... or at least loud female fans. It does not do to take much stock in these things~ The MCs are stupid. There. OEL otoge do a better job at creating well-rounded individuals, so it is not sound to say that all of them end up as such.


The stories have obviously ended. I don't consider spinoffs as essential in any way, unless it is specifically meant to clear up open endings. Not many SWD games ever do that. Larger companies will keep on writing in more side stories of fluff, if it means they can reap the profit.


I remember when I was posting stuff showing Kotaro in Tumblr, someone reblogged it, talking about how she thinks that Kotaro looks lame~~ And she prefers her Kotaro in Dynasty Warriors, who looks vastly different~ Since I know how the historical accounts/tales are supposed to be, there is no doubt that everything is already OOC. Like hell would Yoshitsune and Benkei have been that kind or blushy. NTT Solmare just forced down the usual archetypes, overriding whatever personalities might have been more accurate to history. It's a selling point. Want characters will bald heads or samurai hairdos~? When it comes to historical characters, heck, REAL PEOPLE DIE. But, no. Otome games are eternal.


I don't like Wakasa anymore. I wanted him crazier, but he only acts like an innocent tool in love.

Sigh...

[Vixey]

I think SWD games have my favorite art styles, the men and especially their hair are always so pretty ~
Though I've only been playing Angel or Devil and Lost Island so far. Lost Island is especially lovely. Originally I only downloaded it because AoD was having a cross promotion, because when Lost Island came out I was all pffffft zombies??? But I like the art a lot when it's not zombies. Except for some of the dumb facial expressions I like how everybody is drawn. :)

I just spun NA's Premium Slot seven times and finally realized that spinning that would have given a huge boost for the event that starts on the 25th. But then I remembered that the 3 Fabrics per spin opportunity would end later today... Such a sneaky plot, that was. I always inadvertently do this before events begin, but this was the first time they announced this while strategically placing the times as such. The lame thing about Premium Slot is that you really can get multiples of the same dumb item, and you can't trash it unless it means wasting that much more Charm. Getting through Stylish Checkpoints has been hard enough.

I decided to suck it up and discard some of the prettier 100 Charm items to keep going, and screenshotting them farewell helps me cope with the loss. XD I actually hope that other SWD games do this type of item exchange as well, honestly. I have more avatar items in Mononoke Kiss than I can handle, and I need about 10K Tokens to simply purchase enough storage space for all my items just waiting in my presents box. What is worse is that they all have timers that are due to end at different times next month.

[Lilwyn]

Why are these rank avatar prizes not worth the effort -.-
100 charm is hardly appealing! I'd rather have the fabric straight up than having to need closet space to accept 100 charm rewards.

My random rant for some of these rank rewards. (Mainly NA)

[Lilwyn]

Theres a survey for the a new spin off for SWD: Ninja Assassin and when i saw Amnesia i cringed so hard. I am by far not a fan of amnesia and i really really hope that does not make it. 

I cringe from just thinking about Office Lovers Kitazawa's 2nd season story ugh

[Sakuragawa]

ikr Amnesia, why would you even want that? It just makes the one who has it and the ones that care about them suffer. Zero interest. There are enough stories with that plot device as it is.

Anyway, through process of elimination, best choice is prolly the Willem one cuz, Willem duh. It would be interesting to see how they would bring him back.

The drunk scenario seemed interesting but upon further thought, I'd prefer the guys to have more alcohol tolerance and more discipline than to get drunk.

[Aiwethryne]

Yeah, I'm between drunk and Willem, but the whole Willem thing does not seem that that original, either. IF they do that, they'd better give me some Willem feels or background information. The rest are just to normal and boring~

[Sakuragawa]

Yeah, none of these scenarios seem all that exciting. It's not as if I can suggest something like they get transported to Europe just as the Pope calls a crusade and they have to join, it's not suited for their customs.

People want Willem, it's not like we have much of a choice. What reasons would Willem have for coming back to Japan anyway, retirement? Exhile?

[Aiwethryne]

If it is about Willem, it would probably be within the events of the main story. He really would not have much more reason to go back to Japan except to continue his trades.

Am I reading that as ninjas fighting for the Pope?
