Spoiler As ArgentstR mentioned, Misato's a teacher, and she's forced to transfer to a new school because she had a relationship with a student (Yuuji, that is). But it apparently isn't an issue that they're all over each other in the middle of class at the new school, despite it still being a matter of a student/teacher relationship, and I find that pretty hard to believe.

The journey was great, and that romance was charming me with that cute little red-head brawler. I liked that dating sim a lot for the comedy value... I think you can't go wrong with it. Even though I had to replay the whole thing since one choice screwed me up and left me in Friendzone. It is really not a lot of change between endings sadly. Hentais were added only just to say it may be patched for +18 but that's it. Maybe I will do a third playthrough. The gameplay though and the girl events... damn they kept me glued into my chair. Sort of review below. https://steamcommunity.com/id/SaoTheDreamer/recommended/849740/ When I watched the trailers I knew I had to play this and put everything else on hold. I really liked the Sim Dating Games from quite a few years ago, they are basically what got me into VNs in the long run, and this is pretty much a super polished version of those with a very charming presentation. I basically treat these games as puzzle games with the goal of clearing them as efficiently as possible. Managed to set it up so I can reach every girls good ending within the last 10 days, a lot of savescumming was necessary for that though. I allways feel strangely accomplished when I can do that in these kinds of games. The choices are spread out much earlier though so I can't reach the neutral and bad endings without going waaay back, maybe at a later point. The girls are all cute in their own ways and the creative spin playing as the squire adds a lot of comedic value. The H-scenes basically added nothing to the game though, they are the only unvoiced parts and very short, a bit of a waste considering they even animated them. Had a lot of fun with this. 8/10 Quote
Seraphim Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 I'm reading Nanairo Reincarnation now and have to admit I was kinda caught off guard when this dude showed up all of a sudden: (NSFW) Spoiler Quote

Seraphim Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Just now, ChaosRaven said: they didn't have the resources anymore to give the main antagonist a sprite. Haha, seriously? I'm not that far along yet, but that sounds like some really lousy prioritizing! I'd actually been thinking that it feels like a pretty high budget production so far, but it seems they went wrong somewhere down the line then. ChaosRaven 1 Quote

Ooooh well, onwards with courage, I guess. Dies Irae spoiler I was browsing the Dies Irae characters page on VNDB and, at the time, they had Lisa in her nazi uniform. I was super pissed because I didn’t know that she was a villain at the time. They’ve since set that picture of her to spoiler. Quote

Ranzo Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Finally got around to finishing Misaki's route in Aokana What a route! It had some really amazing moments and I really loved the romance between the two of them. They had a interesting dynamic and you could plainly see why the both fell for each other Even the sex scenes were nice and sweet which was so goddamn freaky I felt like I was in another reality Well, now it's time to take on the next one! adamstan and r0xm2n 2 Quote
adamstan Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Yesterday I discovered interesting thing. Still cannot be fully sure, 'cause I checked only one part, but it looks like MoeNovel stealthily updated Steam edition of If My Heart Had Wings to match Cruise Sign's main part. Maybe they did it while doing Switch version? While reading Cruise Sign, yesterday I reached the point where the first H-scene in Kotori's route would be in the adult version. I found the replacement scene to be really sweet and cute, so I wanted to compare it with the total disaster that reportedly the old IMHHW version was. I did clean install of Steam version, and quickly skimmed thru it up to the same point. And, to my utmost surprise, it was exactly identical to Cruise Sign. No weird cuts, but exactly same replacement scene, with proper voice lines etc. Also, it seems that they revised the translation a bit. It still isn't great, but for example, there are no longer "eyes" instead of "boobs" in the bath scene I'm going to compare other parts while I go thru them as well, but if (and that's a big if...) the rest of the game follows the same pattern, then it would mean, that when you get all parts of Steam release (main game + Flight Diary + Akari addon) you'd get the equivalent of translated Cruise Sign.

In my case I was also checking the vndb page and Spoiler Saw that one of the main characters has "subject of: homicide", so I was all "oh, welp, I think I'm starting to see where the nakige side of the VN is gonna strike."

It's a good thing if they've mended some of the damage, , but the heroine routes (which aren't a part of Cruise Sign) are probably still as broken as before, since I doubt they'd go out of their way to retranslate those out of good will towards the consumers. I imagine the poor suckers who don't know about the retranslation patch will be like "Whoa! What the hell happened!?" once they go from a somewhat acceptable translation in the common route to something like Ageha's! Edited October 22, 2019 by Seraphim88 Quote
Seraphim Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Just went through a pretty confusing scene in Nanairo Reincarnation. The gang was having a conversation at the dinner table, but the text was misplaced and didn't match up with the characters or voiced dialogue. An example: Spoiler The "present head" is Makoto (the protagonist), so this makes it seem like he's actually talking to himself. The entire scene went like this, so it was kinda hard to keep track of who was saying what. Edited October 22, 2019 by Seraphim88 Quote

There was another instance where the text seemed to be a combination of several parts of dialogue mixed together.

Well, I'm not sure because the differences for the routes are minimal, as I commented some days ago upon finishing my playthrough. Basically some lines change here and there, and the very end of the game, too. So perhaps that scene is messed up for everyone. Seraphim 1 Quote
r0xm2n Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Starting up Onii-kiss. And .... I havn't felt this awkward since playing Final Fantasy X-2, and Nekopara. But ...... I'm liking it so far. So much fluffyness Quote
Mago Ivo Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 Me too! I've been waiting for it for a very long time. I really hope that it's something close to euphoria in terms of quality, emotions and lovable story. Quote
Seraphim Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 Finished one route in Maggot Baits, and it was pure garbage. It just consisted of scene after scene of a very specific theme, which I'm not into whatsoever. Namely, Spoiler futanari/tentacle porn. The story was pretty much nonexistent in this route, so I figure its entire purpose is to satisfy people with that particular fetish, meaning it's not all that surprising that it wasn't for me. I just hope the true route is going to be worth it in the end. Quote

Seraphim Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 Indeed. It seemed more or less detached from the main storyline, which probably isn't so strange considering how you enter the route. Quote

Felt like a bad end but really expanded. Spoiler The story barely begins and 'you' die, so the game shows how the other characters are gonna get tortured till they break, and that's it. I wouldn't expect much story from an after-bad end section. Quote

It was pretty long though, so "bad end" doesn't quite feel like a sufficient classification. Well, whatever. In any case, it was a big waste of time for me personally, but I guess people who are into those particular fetishes might find it enjoyable. I'm at chapter 3 now, and things are looking up now that the main story has moved along a bit. Quote
