Hello!   I just want to talk or share something about Forbidden Love since it has been a long time that no one has given a little tidbits for this game.

NOTE: The things I'm gonna share is still in the Japanese version released.

Anyone interested to know the characters ORIGINAL NAMES aka Japanese names...?

Oh! There's an event just like the French Travel one. Yup! And it's a two weeks event. This time it's a School Life..  (maybe, a high school one?)... However, this is like an ANOTHER WORLD PLOT because MC, Mike, Johannes, and Mathew are students while Robert (I bet he is a Science teacher coz he wears lab gown) and Tom are teachers. I haven't seen McHenry in the introduction! WHAT???

Ahahahaha. AU Mike looks so awkward in his uniform. It's bound so high and tightly around his neck. =w=

I am just going to wait for whatever comes out in English. Even though it's quaint that they are under different circumstances in the AU, and I am sure that they will have their cute/steamy shoujo moments, I am usually very put off by stories set on high school grounds in the whole "slice of life" genre (but I still play them and die from cliche shoujo horrors each time). The whole idea of the FL team milking money out of people using trite storylines pisses me off~ <3 It reminds me of the high school AU with Hakuouki characters. But that is because it sells. *idolsmuttersatutapri*

And now that I'm in Mike's fifth story, seeing the

time skips really is a big jump. I don't mind too much, but I seerrrriiiioouusssllyy would have loved some cheesy, sweet "Uncle" moments between Dylan and Johannes. It would make my day if the Japanese version has something like that, and they better release it as a special side story in English. Other than that, I can't believe that after ten years Mike and the MC had not had another child - or so I see for the moment.

Do we ever know Mike's exact age? I know that in comparison to the MC, it can't be more than eight years.

Spoiler  Hidden:

And now they are in their 30s, with Mike possibly approaching 40.

It sort of breaks my mind to read that otome characters age. XDDD;;

In my part, I just pretended that the big time skip did not really occur or such. I don't want to think that the characters are so old now! I'm not ready for that yet.   Anyways, I like your idea! I want to see how Johannes will react around as uncle with Dylan. Because I think Johannes has a close relationship with the kid before he even went back to France and how he was saddened that as years passed by, Dylan looks like his father inside and out! Not a single resemblance with the MC. Hahaha! I can't wait his reactions!

I think Mike and MC age difference is 5 years or so. I'm just concluding that maybe Mike and Amelia are same age because they met each other in university..? (thus, Mike decided to settle for the second best since he can't have MC because it's forbidden? *duh-duh-duh*) By the way, Amelia mentioned (if I'm not mistaken) her age in story 1 that she is 27 in the proper story. And we know that MC is 22 since Johannes is 21, right? MC mentioned that she is one year older than Johannes.

Their Japanese names are so much cooler ;-;

BTW I'm on chapter 20 of Mike's 4th story. Is it bad that I laughed at how ridiculous some of the things that happened was? Like, all of these conflicts could have been solved in easier ways but it's the way the character you're supposed to represent responds that just makes me laugh and shake my head sometimes.

[alogado]

Well, the whole conflict would have resolved itself if the protagonist would have bothered to explain everything to Mike at the night of that party. Like, seriously.

I laughed at everything. This game is full of incredulous laughter for me~ But that is how the game advertises itself - it's a soap opera-like game with a typical shoujo manga-esque dense main character.

[Luciana]

It's just too funny, but this game is addicting to me so I can't really stop XD

I mean if it were me getting shoved by some bitch who called me then you'd better believe there'd be a fist fight XD

But oh well. In the end things will work out anyway ^^

[alogado]

I'm gonna finish Mike's 1st story soon, any opinion on which story I should do next? I'm not too interested in Johannes and want to do something different than Mike. How are the other guys like?

[Aiwethryne]

@ alogado~

I appreciate Mathew's route~ So he is who I suggest. Since the story is 30-something chapters, it feels like there is more development between characters. And this route shows every character with a sprite rather significantly.

Mathew Jones~
He has a sarcastic and stubborn side, but he more readily admits what he thinks, compared to Mike. While the MC keeps going on about how similar he is to Mike, he has his own character. Even though he is a subordinate, he uses everyone for his own benefit and looks down on people.

Ryan McHenry~
The kind, older boss. Jealousy makes him meaner. Hmm. Not sure what else to say about him...

Robert Phillip~
He's the butler with a secret identity. Dun dun duuuun. He's pretty suave in his route, but there are times that you wish he just revealed what was going on. In some scenes, he acts like the mischievous... predator? I guess.

[alogado]

Thanks!

Guess I'm gonna go for Mathew after that. :3
And after that Robert.. I always wanted to romance a "butler". :D

[Anie]

Yeah, I was almost done with Mike's 1rst story when my phone lost all it's info, so I had to redo everything. But I opted for Mathew instead and so far, I like him more than others. Seems more mature. We shall see!

[saki_yokushi]

I'm done with everyone else (of course, except Tom). I just started Mathew's route and I say, I really like this guy! He is sooooo aggressive and super blunt! I really love his stubborn and egoistic nature. He is now my number 1 character followed by Mike --> Johannes ---> Robert ---> McHenry.

[Luciana]

I kind of hate that I still gotta wait until the next day to read the endings because I don't have anymore tickets (just like how I hate that you need a ticket to read the secret stories, which is funny because those stories don't even use up tickets so bleh...XD) , but after I finally read the endings I'll be done with Mike's 4th story. I guess I'll go on to his 5th afterward but part of me wants to try another character just to see how they are. Mathew looks interesting :3

[alogado]

I'm only at Mike's first story.. but I really need to talk about what happened. o___o

Spoiler  Hidden:

So they suddenly end up in bed together just like that and nobody really seems to mind and they are happy and then, BAM, she's suddenly trying to sleep with johannes? where did THAT come from? and then amelia gets sick and mike wants to marry her? wth? Is everybody crazy!? what is going on??? how can you even THINK about something like that, isn't it enough alright? o_O  and you girl, break up with johannes immediately. but what were you thinking in the first place? you slept with mike. you love him. why DON'T you want to marry him? what's your idea of the future? that you stay at his side as his sister? why don't you already break up with johannes!? you cheated on him and it's done! ugh. I can't believe it.

and I think the biggest thing I can't believe is that I'm actually invested in this story now lol.

[Aiwethryne]

@ alogado~
You have voiced everything I thought while playing Mike's first story. >_<

Spoiler  Hidden:

Even though the MC and Johannes were already dating, I consider it one of those "complicated" relationships where they are together in word due to being so often around each other. So nothing is official, per se. I was shocked that Dave was completely over the initial horror of seeing Mike and the MC kissing the next time they talked. That is just... *stares at writers* And after reading that nice Johannes Secret Story (I think it was in Mike's 1st...), seeing him not say a single thing against the MC wanting to emo sleep with him was overall disappointing.

But! I completed Mathew's story~ I knew that the writers would break my heart and make Amelia

Spoiler  Hidden:

a crazy character, again.

</3 But Mathew issssss my favorite guy, now. In essence,

Spoiler  Hidden:

the MC cheats on Johannes here, too, huh.

I hate that you need a ticket to read the secret stories, which is funny because those stories don't even use up tickets so bleh...XD)

I should clear this up. No, you do not need to use Scenario Tickets to proceed to the Secret Stories. At first, yes, it was like that, but now you can go directly from the Top Page to the SS without an extra Ticket hanging out. After all, you can choose between accessing the Story or the My Page, or press the front image to go directly into the story. It has its conveniences.
