What the.... I think my heart kinda stopped beating for a while  after I read that about Yoshitsune haha... I knew it something's fishy. I'm afraid Hyuga's route is also going that way...

Well then I have to dissapoint you because Hyuga's route is heading a similar way. But hey - in the end Hyuga is all you need ;) Man, I have to go his route one more time [tsundere lover here].

Yeah Hyuga would be enough for me haha. Just finished his sweet ending. I'll come back to him once I'm done with Hyosuke. I'm such a tsundere lover also.

Has anyone played the event lottery game and gotten the 1st prize bonus story? I tried and got a bow :(

I have not~~ Hopefully it is not a completely money-exclusive story, once the lottery period ends. If I had known an event like this would require Ninja Lottery Tickets, I would have saved all of my formerly acquired ones. *rolls around in a corner*

I only got a message card, but the game said that we are supposed to get a Camellia Rice Cake and Pass, too... They did not appear, so I am hoping that they arrive at some designated time.

[Artemis003]

I went ahead and got 100DC so I could try the lottery again and I won...."Hyosuke thoughts on Minamoto Yoshitsune" card plus a pass & rice cake.....little disapointed v.v my rice cake & pass appeared instantly though.

[Kii]

I am really enjoying the game. I just wish I knew more about the differences between the endings.

[foreverfriendsg]

Hey everybody! I'm finally back (I really hate exams...) only to find Yoshitsune's route out! Excuse me while I go fangirl over him~~

It'll take me too long to reply everybody, so I'll just reply Aiko:

I like Goyo. He is sweet. But I think he sacrificed too much for MC.

Spoiler  Hidden:

How can you want to go back to Japan? Stay and be Queen!

Anyway I would like more friends in DN. If you have a free slot please add me! My nick is Aiko (with a star at the back)

Strange, that's what my friend (who's not on KC, despite me raving about how awesome KC is) said about Goyo too. She too thought that Goyo sacrificed too much for MC. This is making me sad :( was planning to play Goyo after completing Benkei's route (whom I have heartlessly abandoned for Yoshitsune - and from the ninja ranking and NTT Solmare's facebook, I'm not the only one   ) but I'll still play his route anyhow  

And I'm going to try to add you now~ I have a ton of empty slots for friends because I'm just too lazy to add people, heh~

I really should let somebody else answer your questions, but I can't resist   from what I see, Sweet Love ending is what it says, really sweet. Lovey Dovey ending is more sexy (with emphasis on the first 3 letters of sexy). If you've seen the CGs for Destiny Ninja,

Spoiler  Hidden:

Sweet Love endings often have the ninja kiss MC, kinda like a fairytale ending; while Lovey Dovey endings seem to end in sex between the ninja and the MC

. The reason why I said I should let somebody else answer because so far I've only completed Hyosuke's Sweet Love ending, but I should more or less answer your questions... Though anyone with a more comprehensive answer is welcome to answer~

[Aiwethryne]

What FFG said is truth. Lovey Dovey is basically bodies meshing together by the end. Yes.

I still need three more Energy to fully complete Yoshitsune's Lovey Dovey Ending (can probably win more after greeting), but I really like it~ His route features every character with a sprite, unlike the other characters' routes I have played. I am really wondering how the Sweet Love Ending turns out, since Lovey Dovey was rather plot-ly involved...

Even though this would have been the perfect opportunity to use my 120+ Camellia Rice Cakes during a 20% Minigame Checkpoint and expect to lose a plethora of times, for the sake of playing on, I sacrificed getting a higher Romance EXP for the day. I had previously calculated how losing constantly in that Checkpoint could potentially boost me to 1st place, but yesterday was obviously not going to be one of those days, considering how the whole Ranking Competition is going on and I don't spend real money.

I apparently ended with 2730 Romance EXP. I checked out my competition ranking, and I was at 36 (yesterday)! As slightly amused as I was, I wondered if that meant I would not rank in the "Yesterday's Love Master" thing. When I logged in today, I was pleased to see that I ranked~ I am #16 with that 2730. Ah, my single day of fame. Also, looking at the competition, again, I dropped into the 50s. I expect to continue falling as the days go by. I really can't beat the people who spend real money, even if I greet everyone, delete them, gather new people, greet them, and repeat constantly. But I am not that devious, nor do I have the time.

I was lame at one point and typed "Yoshitsune" in my profile box, but the game kicked back with a message stating that my words were deleted for being inappropriate. I love how Japanese games cannot accept the common "shit" that exists in their alphabet spellings. This is why another forum I am on no longer filters that. When I noticed how "sagashite" turned into "sagakawaii-ness~desue" (or "sagaGelod-hears-youe"), we all laughed and the admin changed it.

Why did I just type all that? =3= I need to take a nap soon so that I can go back to writing essays...

Well. Glad to see I'm right...? But lol at the way you described it as "bodies meshing together", for some reason I find that funny haha~

Ooh, "plot-ly involved"? Sounds... interesting. You just made me want to play his Lovey Dovey ending instead of Sweet Ending like I originally intended.

But how do you determine how to 'lose' in the checkpoints? Even at the 20% success checkpoint, I don't spend more than 3 times before I clear it. If I wasn't thinking of rushing his route, I would probably redo the checkpoint a couple more times for higher EXP too.

Woah, that's some high ranking! I just kept wondering how people manage to rank without spending money. I suppose if you have a huge amount of rice cakes at your disposal, it's possible to achieve...? Anyway, I'm not planning to go for the 1000 ranking thing, considering I got back into the game rather late and I'm just too lazy to bother with it, anyway. Will simply stalk tumblr for screenshots of the prizes.

LMAO at the "shit" filter. It's quite ironic, considering the romanji of the Japanese words that have shit in them (and "sagashite" is a pretty common word!). I'm not familiar with the whole computer program algorithm thingy, but I suppose programmers could come up with a separate programming to screen words that have "shit" in them but do not mean it as a vulgar word? I laughed at the kawaii-ness~desue though HAHA

And for goodness' sake, hurry up and finish your essay so you can rest!

Can I just say... I love Yoshitsune and all, but it irks me when

Spoiler  Hidden:

he keeps pulling that "I'm a man and you're a woman" excuse. Sure it's kinda sweet and all that he's comforting the MC when she's upset but seriously... Men have emotions after all. Just because he's of the male gender doesn't mean he won't be upset

. That being said, I still adore him. This game IS set during Heian era Japan, not modern 21st century after all (but still Japan isn't an equal society even now).

And I really, really want to punch Hyuga. Just saying.

[Aeghmn]

Can anyone suggest some actual manga titles to follow if you really like hanzos sweet storyline?

[Kkat999]

Does anyone here feel like they want to have a route for Noritsune? In all of the stories I've done, especially Yoshitsune, Benkei, and Sohma, I really like him as a character despite his fate.

I don't think it could be done, but that's just my little fantasy for this game. ._.

Yep. Quadruple yep. In the routes which actually explore his character, you can't help but feel for him. Like I said somewhere random, historical fact has a way of killing people, so you just want that happy end for everyone. Otome games tend to do this, so Noritsune's

could still be twisted. Alas, on the surface, we see that all of the main characters' routes are there, and Noritsune was only a side character.

Um, what do you mean? Ninja stories... Those with these historical ninjas? Doubt any translated ones exist, much less with romance.

About the 20% Minigame, like I say, it is only a possibility. Some people must spend over ten Energy to win. That alone is 300 Romance EXP, whereas normal progress of the same Energy expenditure is 200 EXP.

The issue of gender roles is one of those "problems" in games which venture into historical times, but this otome game is rather ordinary in the double standards presented between men and women. I cringed slightly every time Yoshitsune tried to be all macho that way, but I just imagine it as Yoshitsune's self-control complex. While Japan has its share of gender inequalities, it's still like that everywhere in the world. The stereotypes. It's like we were saying in the other discussions about who might actually be writing these stories and characters...

Sorry, can't help ya there, I haven't played Hanzo's route. But I don't read many manga either, so I doubt I'll be able to come up with anything for you. Hopefully someone else sees your post~

Me! Me! Me! I thought I was the only one, guess not!

Meh, I didn't care much about him in Hyosuke's route (wait, did he even appear?? It's been so long since I played his route that I forgot *slapped*) but Noritsune in Yoshitsune's route really changed my perception of him.

Spoiler  Hidden:

In a way, he's very much like Yoshitsune; born into a noble family and bound by blood and loyalty to serve the family's interests. If those two had been born into the same family, I have a feeling they'll be great brothers.

I like him as a character despite his fate too.

It's kinda interesting tbh, that when I was playing Hyosuke's route I was intrigued by Yoshitsune, and when I was playing Yoshitsune's route I was intrigued by Noritsune. I really have to stop thinking about other guys XD

Yes, it can be twisted. If you know Yoshitsune's actual history, then it can be seen that Solmare has totally changed it via Yoshitsune's ending. Throughout the whole route I kept wondering how Solmare planned to change the real history to give Yoshitsune's route happy endings, but I seriously did not see what was coming.

Spoiler  Hidden:

And I felt quite sad at the ending because of how Yoshitsune had to live from then on. I mean, it is a happy ending in that he gets to be with the MC, but to sacrifice his identity for that to happen is really very sad.

Well, Solmare can always add new boxes for new main character routes, eh? I mean, after playing all of the main characters' routes, I would imagine some people quitting the game despite the event stories. If I were Solmare, I would pull out new main routes too. But can you imagine being the enemy of the ninjas and Yoshitsune?  

Spoiler  Hidden:

Though I was really hoping for a huge fight between Noritsune and Yoshitsune over Noritsune's declaration of being the MC's fiance, and for Yoshitsune to stop Noritsune from taking away the MC. A girl can dream, right?

Over TEN energy? That's sad... And very wasteful, despite the romance EXP (unless the person is aiming to rank on the top ten, that is).

Hmm, but this whole gender role issue isn't just in historical games. I mean, I know you don't play In Your Arms Tonight but that whole game is essentially built on the idea of women's role in modern Japan. (I'm still playing it, though. Heh.) I get your idea about his self-control complex, particularly in the later chapters of his route if you know what I'm talking about.

Spoiler  Hidden:

Glad to see him resolve it in the end and know that he can depend on the MC, just like she can depend on him.

Agree on the gender inequalities elsewhere in the world. Heck, my mother still holds on to the belief that a woman's purpose after being educated is to get married and have children. And she's adamant that I will not stay unmarried (not that I intend to, I do want to get married someday) and will force me to go for blind dates if necessary. But I digress. Sometimes I do wonder if these stereotypes will ever be removed, though.

Well, the stories and characters could be written from the male point of view, which would explain the stereotypes. But sometimes even females themselves propagate the stereotypes; just think about all the manga that you've read with a weak female MC who needs help from the male characters, that are written by female mangaka. Just saying.

[Rinveela]

can I ask something?? hehe can we play it on PC??
I started playing this game few days a go.. but yesterday I have to uninstall because of some problems with my android.. :'S
thank youu hehe :D

[Aiwethryne]

Reading through Yoshitsune's Newly-Wed spin-off is like a giant walking spoiler for the main route's ending.

Yay, I finished all of Yoshitsune and Mizuki's Juicy Love Endings, and, damn. So steamy. Now on Sohma, but I'll need to wait for more Treasure boxes... So surprised that Sohma is actually

Spoiler  Hidden:

brother to Noritsune

.

I think I'll use the Treasure Boxes on Goyo's route, though. Cute stuff going on.
