Mm, so you did create the topic.
Indeed, I like Nemu's grandaughter. ^^ Sounds weird coming from me I gotta admit, but Otome seems to be a really good one. I still wonder if they're gonna reference Aishia, or show any descendants, or anything like that (in relation to DCSS). Aishia was cool; I'm sure hoping she at least gets a little reference, or a cameo. Or something. But nothing seems to be there now... Hell...I wonder if this is even a continuation of DCPC or just the original DC actually; no Konomiyas, Tsukishiros, Saitamas there...just a Mizukoshi, an Amakase, two Asakuras and a Shirakawa, and of course Sakura herself, meaning that the only one we don't have there from the original game is a Sagisawa...maybe they're saving the others for DCPCII? So yeah, I -still- wonder the past events were. For now I'd say DC, Nemu's route. DC first season (the anime) fits that well too, except, well, they didn't show that important event at the end of Nemu's route, since I guess they were keeping it for DCSS. If you wonder why I am so obsessed in knowing what's part of the timeline and what isn't, I'm just curious as to know what happened with our lovely characters. Regarding the game's story itself now, it'd be nice to find out why the tree's back and how come Sakura did nothing about it. Maybe she brought it back herself?

As for the old characters - I think all or at least most of them will be referenced, so we'd probably know what became of them. I also believe they might be used for character and/or plot development in their corresponding descendant's path, either in a passive (this happened in the past or grandma always used to tell/tells me, so I...etc.) or active (cameo, talk to the descendant in question, etc.) way. But well, who knows. We'd find out with time.

Edit: LOL... seems Circus didn't like me (and others, I'm sure) external-linking to their images and either blocked this site or image hotlinking in general... Sorry Circus... That was a pretty silly/lazy/bad thing for me to do anyway. I moved them. |

Edit: Thanks KBTKaiser for the breakdown! I've added a "Posts with major D.C. II plot revelations/info:" section to the main post. Over the long term, if we keep it up-to-date, maybe that'll help prevent people from asking the same questions over and over. |

Holy.. Well i didn't expect the anime to come out very soon, but > a year, that's a long wait, 'guess i'll have to put a memo somewhere. Well since i'm more of a anime/jpop music fan than anime(don't get me wrong, i love anime. Just, i love their music even more ^^), maybe i'll get the music album of the game when it's released.

This'll probably be a buy for me, mainly just to say i have it.. and well of course to play it. ^^;
I think its pretty sure news that a anime shall be made from this, imo like i've said before its just like what Leaf did with the To Heart series.
