Otome Community Thread: A New Era of Beefcakes
- Thread starter Shizuka
- Start date
Yikes. The PS4 version was half of that, but it managed to get to 4.6k in 5? months or so.
Finished the demo for London Detective Mysteria.
Having another voiced heroine who has agency is a big plus, although I wish Emily did not look so young.
Spotted a few typos and the game became unresponsive twice in quick succession. Nothing game breaking.
I enjoyed the prologue - hope we get the release date soon!

Unless it's the Switch port of the Hakuoki duo, I don't think another otome title is happening anytime soon.
Ehhh ya never know. Neptune games and such have greatly slowed down lately, so they might want to bring in something different. Well, I hope the 2 Hakuoukis sold well enough for them.
They're 3-4 Compile Heart games behind. For such a small company, that's a lot.

I don't know why that's happening, it's not like Compile Heart releases a new game every month. What happened to Idea Factory International?
I find it odd too. Last time they only announced one game. Maybe they're having some issues?
Really 3-4? I'm not on the up-n-up with import releases, but which ones? Iknow they just announced I think 1 or 2 recently, but neither are out yet. Is it slower than normal? They sure rushed out all the Neptunias quickly! I dunno, I feel like it's always been a slow trickle of releases...
I guess we'll see what happens on Nov 5. I would still guess 1 non-Hakuouki otome... if lucky.
I honestly do not recognize two of those. Minus the Neptunia games and Death end, have the others been released in Japan yet?
Well you can't really count those, since they are on pre-order. Varnir isn't out in Japan yet, either. Edit: Neither is Arc or Azure, those were the 2 just announced, prob not out till at least mid 2019ish.
Very nice. I have it on PC but still haven't gotten around to playing it yet, this way I actually will.

Thought for a second from the description it might be engrish free then I saw some screens

I have my issues with it, but it's overall enjoyable and I'd still recommend it.
Meanwhile, still haven't made time for Ashen Hawk... kinda found myself even more overloaded with games than usual thanks to focusing on some really long ones, and so stalled at finishing 428's bonus content which means not starting another VN. I'll get to it... well, probably in a month after Death Mark. But I'm sxcited to play it, hah.

I...forgot I was even playing Ashen Hawk still. I'm like 8 hours in and it still feels like I'm "learning" information I assumed from the premise. It's definitely a slow start.

It's getting released in Japan as well, with english subtitles. I might get a physical copy for the novelty of it.
So yeah Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time 6 DX got announced for the Switch today.
It includes Haruka 6 and and Haruka 6 Gentou Rondo in one package.

I went and took a look at the official product page and got a big laugh:
The epilogue story content is only available as a pre-order bonus for the two box editions.
You don't receive it when you pre-order the normal edition and there are big red words (※本特典は、後日配信の予定はありません。) indicating that this isnever gonna not planned to be available separately in future.
Koei, why you gotta be like that

That's one way to make the game profitable, I guess. Gotta milk fans for all they're worth.

I think it's highly likely that otome moving to switch is going to be cost prohibitive for some titles. Even in Japan, a lot of Switch VNs are digital only. Cartridges are expensive.
So IFI's 'we're thinking about you' does not inspire me with confidence.
That's because of Sony. They broke the Korean version when they removed the touching mode. IFI probably doesn't want to deal with that. Either that or removing said mode properly will take a long time so no announcement yet.
As much as I would prefer a physical edition, I would take digital only.
Other than Mary Skelter 2, are any of the current remaining Compile Heart games viable for localization? The ones left are that Azur Lane that is not dated for Japan yet, the Pixie and Clanpool Vita games, and several games with that pink seal thing . I am guessing the games in the later category would need a lot of changes now so I wonder if IFI would just do a hard pass on them all.
Unless the game is low budget or has already been translated before, I don't think digital only would be viable.
Yeah, Azur Lane and another Date a Live game. By the time IFI is done localizing all the games they've just announced, CH is going to churn out 239472974 more titles.
