You do realise that the above names are taken from the Brewitt-Taylor translation that dates back to the 1920's before Hanyu Pinyin takes root (and Beijing was known as Peking), right ?

Actually, the current established English spelling of the name of the Wei kingdom's monarch is "Cao Cao", though pronounced "Chao Chao".

I know. But I can't suppress a chuckle whenever I hear Cow Cow in DW games.

Man looks like talks of Koihime Musou died here. Anyone play the 2nd game yet?

Does look that way, doesn't it

?

Well if the harem ending of the first game is something, try that of Shin KH

Mmmmmmmm-Maaaaaaaann.... Been busy there man.

I'm sure someone has it blogged or such, but does anyone have a link to a English tutorial on the gameplay?

Shikimori Kazuki · 2010-10-17, 19:46

how many endings does the first Koihime Musou have? including this harem ending.

Newprimus · 2010-10-17, 21:19

Wow, old thread is old!

Mizuno · 2011-03-12, 18:10

Bumping it coz the english version is out now.

Been playing through it, I think it's a shame Aisha's VA doesn't get more anime roles, I think she's a pretty decent voice. She'd be a good choice for headstrong tsundere roles I reckon.

Since I have watched all of the anime, I'm quite attached to the characters already. Enshou's laughs make me laugh for some reason, what a silly oujo-sama! Good thing she has Ganryou to save her skin, lol. Sousou is as sadistic and naughty as ever. Strangely I'd prefer the game without ero however.

Last Sinner · 2011-03-13, 00:28

Played through the English version last week.

Sei, Shion and Aisha were the characters I liked the most. As for routes, Sei and Shion were gold, default Aisha was decent, but the Enshou route with Bunshu and Ganryou - oh, that was just hilarious. Almost outdid the main story. Those three are just gold.

I found the gameplay WAY too easy though. Seriously, once you know when the other side does their ultimate, if it's one that is painful, just set Shuri up to nullify it with her Ultimate, use Shion as secondary and spam Infantry Square or Echelon/Double Echelon or sometimes Inverted Wedge, depending on the rotation of formations the AI uses. And if their ultimate sucks, Shion in primary and Shuri in secondary for even better resistance. Think there was only one battle that enforced having to go on attacking formations - defensive ones save way more people.

And for the record, there's 4 endings. Aisha, Rinrin, Shuri and Harem. Harem is required to show the final part of the Enshou story, though.

Mizuno · 2011-03-13, 01:00

I have yet to finished the game but I agree about Enshou's little "adventure" is worthy of a few OVA episodes itself, it's pretty amusing.

About the harem end, I have read somewhere that you need the home base encounters for Aisha, Rinrin, and Shuri to be the same for it to be an option... however I think I have lost count of how many times I have visited each, is it that critical?

Last Sinner · 2011-03-13, 01:47

I just ignored all 3 on the 4th playthrough. At the mirror, it gives an option for Aisha or everyone.

Hooves · 2011-03-13, 01:52

Dont you have to clear all the girls to get the harem route option?

Last Sinner · 2011-03-13, 05:24

I did it last, so maybe? Either way, game is incredibly short.

Crimrui · 2011-03-13, 05:32

Will be getting this game soon, I'm looking forward to it. I simply loved Koihime Musou series so naturally, dating the awesome cast is a must :3
Can anyone spoil me regarding the characters that you can choose. I know about the main cast, but do supporting characters have their own ending or are they only included in harem ending?

Xacual · 2011-03-13, 05:39

Harem ending only requires a clear of each of the three main heroines. You can even just reload an old save near the end and the everyone option will be there now.

Also I haven't tried this but since I'm pretty sure Aisha is always an end option whether or not you clear her, since she was still there even though I only did one or two of her events during my playthrough doing rinrin only, you could just clear rinrin and shuri and then with one save near the end do all 3 endings and reload for the harem option to be there too.

Last Sinner · 2011-03-13, 11:28

Took me 4 playthroughs to clear the side characters as well as the mains because you only get to choose 3 sides each home phase.

Only Aisha, Rinrin and Shuri have specific endings. However, some side characters will have more resolution than others. Sei, Shion and Sui get a lot of scenes too, so you will get a conclusive end point to their arc, even if it isn't the ending itself.

I forgot Ren...Ren's arc was one of the better ones. Some cute and funny stuff happens with her. For humour, Enshou still rules that roost.

The ending is rather...sudden and doesn't really wrap things up. It's very open-ended - for me anyway. But meh, was an amusing few days spent playing this.

I had a feeling while playing through that Aisha was somewhat default since she kept passing by an embarrassed reaction whenever discussions went on so it sorta makes me feel like I wasted a choice when it could have been used for rinrin, but otherwise she does have a good storyline

So basically just go for rinrin and shuri until near the end, make a save, then you basically get the harem ending on your first playthrough..

I don't think the game is short if it means you can burn 30-50 hours on it. Especially if you finish listening to the voice clips before you proceed to the next dialogue which is what I'm doing.

Definitely agree. Listening to voices makes the game even longer. I'm already several hours in and still not hallway there. I even forget that it's an eroge game because of all the captivating story and characters

Last Sinner · 2011-03-14, 07:12

Voice clips? My copy doesn't have a single voice clip....
