...yet.

At least he knows where his avatars came from

edit: teaservant is female... oh my...

edit2: isn't it a rule for many internet forums to be at least 13 years of age due to risk of meeting strange people online?

Sushi-Y, about Narcissu side 2nd...wow just wow...did they hire an artist to do the CGs now? Though it looks lovely, how does this bode for their 'minimalism'?

i am a SHE!!!!! and my sis is guarding me for visiting here...''onee-chan~~~someone is bullying me~~~"

[Newprimus]

Then teaservant wins for swooning older women and the rest of us win for..... ehem...


This is getting into some bad territory. Ehem.


Anyway, Prism Ark is great! The battle system's simple and easy to get into. I love the characters, and the voice work is quite top-notch. I love how they miskey the BGMs at certain points in the game.

Oh yes, and the artwork quality for this game is OVER THE TOP.

[Potatochobit]

she is a teaser, get it straight, ok~!


maybe i will checkout prizmark but i personally dont like rpg/dating sim combos. i just could never really get into sakura wars even though i have pretty much the whole collection. even games like soul link i dont really enjoy. maybe if they put Hscenes in a metal gear solid remake..... naw
its probably beacuse i like more happy or realstic stories with my kisses. Air made me mad, but KGNE did not. its probably because Air focus' on despair no matter how hard you try, where as KGNE you can win!

[Hemisphere]

Prism Ark is huge, though. Like 8GB huge. My hard disk cries!

It's about 6 gigs. School Days was bigger, at like 8 or 9 gigs.

But School Days was also entirely animated, while Prism Ark isn't. So in that sense, I find Prism Ark much more impressive in a sense.

[Sushi-Y]

Right now, I'm enjoying the EX patch Type-Moon released for the hanafuda minigame in hollow ataraxia:


FINALLY, a Karen + Little Gil team (+ Lancer aniki as bonus ^^ *love*). Plus Nasu quality story ^^;


Gil-sama trying to hit on himself cracked me up


By the way, I love Karen's auto-skill:

"Holy Shroud"
Renders the Noble Phantasms of one male character from the enemy team useless.
MP Cost: 0

Brilliant. ^^;

Oh. I see. I meant the DVD version of Prism Ark, that is, just to be sure. Its around 8GB. ;_; School Days wasn't that big for me, for some reason.

Oh well, whatever! They're both fun games for me. Size doesn't count, it's the fun that comes from it (don't take this out of context plz).

[Newprimus]

Well it terms of fun I'm personally really enjoying Prism Ark.

I'm about 2/3 or 3/4 of the way through Kagura's arc. She's the miko girl.


After the first half, her "condition" reminded me of a certain character in the Touhou series.



EDIT: Kagura


EDIT2: Finished Kagura's arc!! Yaaayy!! I personally quite enjoyed her character.

Spoiler for the game in general:

Meh, the final boss was kinda pathetic. Loads of hitpoints, but weak attacks. His strongest is easily manageable if you keep your party's health up to near-full, which was pathetically easy with Kagura (you and the "heroine" are the only ones who get to fight the bastard) who gets ridiculously good healing capabilities further in the game.

The single hardest guy in the game has to be Darkness Knight. Maaaaan, that guy just pissed me off so many times during the game. "Ankoku Satsu!!" and one of my characters gets killed off with twice his/her hitpoints-worth in damage.

Second hardest has to be Sister Hell. Her Fortis Apis attack is so awesome---except when it's used against you.

I totally did not expect Darkness Knight to actually be,

Spoiler for more game spoiler:

the protagonist from the previous game!! LOL!! That fact explained so much about why he was sooooo damn hard to beat in this game!!

Just noticed that there is a new Eve game coming out soon.
Any idea if it is another remake of an earlier games of the series ?

i didnt really like hentai but i have seen school days and high school girls and school days is cool ^^

The mini demo for Narcissu -Side 2nd- that was distributed during Comike70 has been made available for download at Stage Nana:



うむ, いい感じにできている。

The style is very much the same as the previous game. Once again, Kataoka-san has showed off what meaningful writing should be like: you don't just read the words, you actually feel them.
The preview in the end really got me going, I wanna read on~

The theme song "Narcissu", sung by riya, was beautiful. It could've very well been the OP (or ED) for a full-fledged visual novel game.

Kataoka-san mentioned a ponkotsu character is going to show up in the game. I'm looking forward to that. ^^ If we're lucky, we might actually get to hear Gotou-sama's ponkotsu voice here. (Gotou Yuuko did all the voices for the previous ponkotsu characters in Nekoneko soft's previous games, like Hiyori from Mizuiro and Nanami from Ramune) (ponkotsu voice = think Mikuru voice)

Setsumi-sensei's "tei tei!" also made me laugh. Her CV, Ayakawa Rino, is also the CV for Katase Yuki, the main heroin of Mizuiro. The "tei tei!" came from there.

======================
The demo was pretty short, I'm sure the guys over at insani will pop out an english translated version soon enough.

[Varion]

For the record, there is indeed a translation of the preview going on, confirmed by Haeleth over in this thread. Can't wait for that.

Also liked how they kept the same music (minus the new vocal song which is great too) and the same letterboxing as the original in the preview. Would've liked to hear some new stuff, sure, but considering I can't actually listen to the original's music without feeling like crap still I'm not bothered; it's got more than enough power left in it. And the letterboxing? Well, that's just Narcissu. Doing it in typical visual novel style (like here) wouldn't have been quite the same.

Anyway, more Setsumi, no one's complaining

They said "New Generation", but Kojiroh and Marina are still there.

Anyway, i don't recognize some of the characters. Most likely, it's a new sequel to the EVE saga. How many sequels this saga have now? 7? 8? More?

I think this one is already one of the longest bishojo game sagas ever!

i have a question about the comic party for PC

the aquaplus Comic Party DCE this is the remake of the dreamcast version?

and the leaf Comic Party (Renewal Package) this is the original PC game with the HCG in it? or did they add in the newer characters also?

[Varion]

Update: the Narcissu -Side 2nd- pre-ver translation is done! Get it at Haeleth's site. Pretty short, but should be enough to keep people's expectation's up for the full version.

CP DCE is the Dreamcast port (Mikage added, new scenarios, no ero-scenes)

Renewal package is the original CP with ero-scenes.

I recommend playing the original/renewal version instead~ (´・ω・｀)

so i checked out prizm ark, and the limited edition comes with the previous game prizm heart and they have added more scenes to it? is prizm heart also a good game? prizm ark is like 130$ but i didnt see any for sale at himeyashop, what other stores ship internationally that would have it?

himeya shop did have all the music CDs. whats are these special sound packages? are they voice recordings for the characters?

[fto]

hmmm ive been looking through this entire thing but does anyone know a game that is good to play rather than just click and read with possible H lol.. Possibly something similar to Utawarerumono, but possibly more fun, or possibly with more things that the player could choose.

First of all, it's Prism Ark. It's written in plain letters.

Second, there are no additional contents in the Prism Heart DVD included in the Prism Ark limited edition: you're simply given the chance to get a game that has been long out of print.

Third, you can buy the limited edition at Paletweb for $109.99. Nobody knows when it'll go out of stock, so buy it fast if you really want it.

As for the sound packages, read this post.

Well Prism Ark does have a pretty good RPG combat system. Think Final Fantasy.

You can equip your character with all kinds of different stuff. Too bad you can't equip the other members of your party, but they're probably best staying as they are. They're all very specialist types and excel at their class, so better keeping them that way.
