Pardon the stupid question, but that's a new term for me. What's a biseinen?

Finally got back to playing Nanatsuiro Drops yesterday. I'm reminded of why Sumomo is such a likeable character. Uwa. After her confession to Tsuwabuki about how she values Nadeshiko's feelings, and doesn't want to hurt her by lying to her, in my head I'm thinking, "m...moe...".

Wow. That newspost almost gave me a heart attack.
There's absolutely no way I'd let Leaf go down, especially before they release Another Days. I want my Maryan-sempai, darnit...

*checks the Another Days website... and it's still barren.. auu~*

Based on the Wikipedia post, biseinen seem to be one step up the ladder from bishounen, where the latter are around highschool or younger, while the former are already adults. Like comparing the Ouran guys to... Friagne or Kisaragi-sensei.


Okay, okay, that's a bad example.

I'm not insulting anyone, but coming to eroge thread and saying (in a way) that it's ok if 90% if not more of all eroge companies that are ADV oriented may go to hell is bit idiotic.

And what's counterproductive and pointless here is posting false news about Leaf without checking what actually happened.

The same can be said about me, minus the Maryan-senpai >.> .

Your thinking to literally. I didn't mean that all of them could just go to hell, but some of them we can probably live without. The good ones of course will survive while the ones nobody wants will have to give.

Also a company called Leaf did fold:

Boys-Love Publisher LEAF Files for Bankruptcy
The Japanese publisher LEAF Inc. announced on April 9 that it has filed for bankruptcy and shut down its operations. All production of upcoming works has ended, and its website and online store were shut down. LEAF Inc. was best known for its line of boys-love novels, periodicals, and drama CDs for adult female readers. LEAF Inc. was unrelated to the Leaf brand of games from Aquaplus. Source: LEAF Inc.

I've never seen the company Aquaplus refered to by the name Leaf so I had no idea there would be confusion.

Will this make up for the poor info:



Kousaka Tamaki:

Attack 5
Defence 3
Support 2

Bonus: When Tamaki is played the opponent must discard 1 card of their choosing
Conversion: May swap out for Kousaka Tamaki (Other art card)
Effect: Our Springtime of Life: If the opponent uses a support character in attacking Tamaki and she defends, the opponent discards 2 cards.

No harm done, sorry for over-reacting.

Uwa. The one I'm waiting for would be Touka Gettan and Eien no Aselia 2. I can't wait for June already. >_< Eien no Aselia was such a great game for me, I wish its sequel would hurry up!

After Aselia, next comes Euphoria! I just love ass-kicking loli characters. ;_;

If you're gonna mention a name, don't use romanization :x I don't really feel like figuring out how you got this romanization to see what game you're talking about.

[Hemisphere]

Actually...that's her name. Euphoria. I'm not even making it up.

Says so right here. She's Eternal Aselia and Yuuto's daughter, the heroine of Eien no Aselia 1.

I must say I gave the title just a quick look, so I didn't really see this (plus I always use getchu for looking titles, so I wouldn't see something as obvious as this^^).

[Hemisphere]

I can see why it'd sound...odd for anyone, though. I mean, naming a loli Euphoria just tends to provoke "o_O" reactions from people.

It didn't really make me go "o_O" even after I figured out the meaning of it, but maybe it's just me

[Hemisphere]

Damn it! All bets are off - Shirogane no Soleil is now the game I'm focusing on!

Mainly because it has Master Asia's seiyuu in it!

(Joking, joking...still, it's quite an interesting game. It really does give me an Eien no Aselia feel.)

Will the game BE BURNING RED?

/me inserts comments of manly, epic, and so on.

Dude I think I have Eien No Aselia here somewhere, now what did I do with it.... "Morrow Iselia Mecha", The Hell.... I guess this is it. I haven't gotten around to playing it yet, but I've heard its some sort of Strategy RPG. Looks like its friendly on the leveling up front too.

Did somebody mention Yosuke Akimoto. I thought the moe girls forced him into retirement. Good to here he's back, even if its in an ADV style H-Game.

You didn't even pretend to try holding back on the Master Asia comment.

I've heard some comments on EnA, and most of them were good. A rather nice RPG, with a good battle system. Oh, and the art wasn't bad for a game a few years back.

------------------------

Also did searching on youtube, and I finally found the OP for Shirogane no Soleil.

Just one thing. Wow.

The song was soothing, and the first few seconds almost reminded me of Ar Tonelico's hymnos songs.
It makes me wonder if the singer's really the same one that sung Hφwling sφul. ^_^;;
The art too, it was great looking.

And is the girl speaking in the end Sol? A darn cute (and not so squeaky) voice, just to my liking.

I posted the Youtube OP a few pages back for Dark Lord Zenigame. Watching it again though, I noticed that the quality in video and sound really doesn't do the opening any justice, especially since it's done by Manyo/Littlewing, one of the best contract OP animation teams in this field.

If you have the bandwidth, you can grab the full game OP 800x600 here;
Shirogane no Soleil OP 800x600

I really need to make a sound clip of Sol and Ryuhei arguing. The boke comedy between the two is so funny, plus it's just so cute when Sol gets angry and pouts~ ^^;

...Master Asia? :[]

And so, Zenigame's interest increases...

Strange, yes? I rechecked that several times to make sure I wasn't reading it wrong. The song's really different from all the other songs that I've heard from her. ^_^;;




...and now, back to Colorful Aquarium.

"Hai, shisho!" </Domon>

I don't remember if I read it right, but I think Ryuhei was the student of Master Asia's seiyuu's character (wow that's confusing), and was recalling his lessons. That is, IIRC. I was preeeeetty damn lightheaded when I came upon that part (insomnia, it is bad, yes?) so I don't exactly know if I was right.

Play it. It both has an easy mode and hard mode - the hard mode is hell if you don't know what you're doing. Also, considering that the game was released some time ago, graphics shouldn't matter to you.

As for the game play, let me break it down like this.

Spoiler:

Basically the RPG aspect of the game is that you move around in a map, defending your territory against invaders while claiming their land (in a sense). Your forces are represented by numbers 1 to 6, indicated by an arrow. Forces 1 to 4 are all made up of three slots: attacker, supporter and defender, and you need a characterto fill each of those slots.

There are various types of Spirits in the game, and needless to say, these will be your troops. Blue spirits are good at attacking and suppressing enemy Support magic, so they're usually frontline, and go to support roles when their attacks have been depleted. Red spirits are usually good at attack magic, so they'realways found in the Suport roles always (one spell can usually wipe out an entire party) while Green spirits are good for defending and support, as their support magic can boost up your stats. Black Spirits are good for Support, to cut off enemy magic, and attack if you want, but they're weaker than Blue spirits, and their attacks are not as hard hitting. Also, all of these: attacks, magic, defense, have a limited amount of uses. You can also shuffle around the priorities of when they will be executed. They can be replenished, however, by going into towns.

The thing here is that all characters have a mind stat. You can think of it as their sanity, if you will, like in Shadow Hearts. Every time you kill an enemy, your mind will go down. You need a high mind in the game in order to unlock both the high level classes, and to get the two characters that join you in the world of Aselia (I forgot the exact name of Aselia's world). So you need to balance things as to who kills who. Also, needless to say, you need a high mind to get the good ending with the girl that you wish. There are ways of restoring mind, however.

Also, you can build buildings with Ether, which will make your life easier. There are training halls where you can level up your Spirits according to various trainers, there are fortresses which give your troops additional parameter bonuses when engaging the enemy in them, there are Mana converters which convert your accumulated Mana into Ether, etc.

That said, I totally love Eternal Aselia's final attacks and support magic, even though they only have two uses. I mean, damn. It's as if Eternal Aselia, Eternal Yuuto, and the third Eternal (not naming for fear of spoilers) were made to be the game's best characters, and it realy shows.

I can't wait for Eien no Aselia 2. >w<

I've heard her voice on the sound sample, and she sounds so (lack of a better word, I still haven't slept properly yet) tsunderelolilicious. I can see what you mean, and I can't WAIT to see those events!

I don't know if it's possible, but could someone possibly take Sol's voice sample (the one you hear when you test the female voice under voice in the system) and put it as a .wav file? I just want it so bad for my cellphone. >_< I just think it'd be funny that people would suddenly be scolded by a tsundere loli everytime my phone receives a message, uwa.
