Coolguye posted:That's the natural voice of a lot of female Japanese teenagers, though anime intensifies the energetic squeakiness of it a bit. Japanese doesn't have the emphasis on a some of the more throaty and dark-sounding sounds that English does (the 'r' sound in warship is a perfect example of a really dark sound that is very uncommon in Japanese), so the accent tends away from chest rumbles that Americans are used to, and culturally associate with calmness. Consequently, even a normally voiced Japanese girl can sound to Americans like she's mainlining caffeine, and any artistic exaggeration makes it sound like she's scoffing at how wussy that caffeine poo poo is and breaking out the cocaine. I don't think this is the case, because there's evidence that Japanese men and women tend to speak at more extreme pitches than English speakers–lower for men and higher for women (see here and here). It's more a social thing than anything, I think.

I note that the second link (the actual study) notes that the samples are sufficiently poorly controlled as to conclusively prove nothing at all regarding the source of the more extreme vocal polarization of the Japanese speakers, just that there is a quantifiable tonal difference that isn't simply a matter of perception.

Oh! An English patch for the PSP version of Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 3 just came out! http://gbatemp.net/threads/tokimeki-memorial-girls-side-premium-3rd-story-english-translation.367491/ I didn't even know this was even close to being out. Yay! (I assume the other group is working on the DS one, too.) Catalina fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Jun 19, 2014 |

Yes, it's for Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 3. An English patch for Tokimeki Memorial 3 is coming with an approximate due date of never. See this thread for why!

It already exists. Just go to the beach in a tuxedo, quiz yourself on nearby date spots, and then punch yourself in the balls. While you're on the way home, dig up a stump to decorate your room with too.

I don't want anime boys to be blinking at me and tilting their heads around while I play dressup and grind stats, it's weird. (especially when there's a 3D modeled character talking to a 2D artifact character from the first game, geez) I think I'll just stick to the DS version, I probably get more out of it only-mostly understanding what's going on anyway.

Oh, so you're saying that's not a new feature to the PSP version? I assumed they wouldn't try to implement that on a DS at all. How does that even work? Did they just pre-record 10 really common girls' names or something?

Essentially, yes, tho they recorded a lot more than 10 names. http://www29.atwiki.jp/3rd_story/pages/47.html lists every single last and first name you can use without issue in the original GS3, and from what I see it's unchanged in the PSP port. If you compare the sound quality on PSP vs the DS it's certainly better, tho.

About 1,350, by my count. I guess that's not an unreasonable use of space if you compress them down far enough. Do those games let you pull a TM2 and tell boys off for calling you by the wrong honorific? I don't think I could handle it if people went around calling my character "chan".

Nope, you decide what to call them just like in the main TM games. What they call you is tied to their affection level, though, so it doesn't feel too disparate. Honestly, the EVS system takes a lot of work to produce and also takes computing power/space to use, so it's actually far easier to record a bunch of common names than to try to make it work on low power systems like the DS and PSP. The original TMGS1 and 2 were on the PS2 and had full EVS, but they didn't even try to implement it in the DS ports.

I don't think you can really call them "3D Models"--they're certainly nothing like TM3, anyways. I think they're actually more akin to that Live2D thing that came out a few years back. They're still 2D, they just move similarly to a 3D model. It's actually a pretty impressive effect, even though it startled me at first...but I can see how it might be off-putting. It's certainly strange in approach mode because the game kind of sits there for a while while the guy tilts his head at me silently. I don't think that delay is meant to be there, but whatever.  The clothing feature in this game is even better than the first two, by the way. I pity you, sheep, for having to deal with the TM3 system which is just...

If it were just a matter of space on the UMD, the comedy option would have been to put a tool that generated EVS files on the game's website, but that would have been silly. And I'm not sure Sony even let you do that.

Tokimemo 3, chapter 6: Working toward a better tomorrow 12/29: Bomb-clearing date with Yukiko, redux  This time, we resort to the full suit, because screw this game.  And, since the game hates us right back, I am forced to read my own LP to remember where this date is and pass the quiz - mousing over the date in the calendar doesn't provide any details, so it's only due to extensive note-taking that I remember the date is at the shopping center. Otherwise, the bomb would have gone off and forced a reload. There are several schools of thought that you should just let a Yukiko bomb or two go off, but it might not be so bad.  Oh, hello Pastel Maetel. I'm glad you could join us between stops of the Galaxy Express 999. On the plus side, Yukiko is already there when we get there, so there's no "hey maybe I'm at the wrong place, should I go to one of the other date spots?" angst from Goon. Yukiko: Fudou-kun. Goon: Hey, Makihara-san. Yukiko: ... Goon: Wh, what? Something wrong? Yukiko: No, it's nothing. This is the "hey, I like what you're wearing" conversation, which is honestly not great to hear from Yukiko but we're stuck between either getting Yukiko to like us a little more, which accelerates bombs a little bit, or antagonizing her, which is an express train to Bombsville.  Yukiko: Hey, where do you want to go today? Goon: Let's go to the fancy shop.  Yukiko: Hehe, there are so many cute things here. Option 1: I feel kinda light-headed. Option 2: They really match you, Makihara-san. Option 3: Yeah, I want some, too.  Goon: They really match you, Makihara-san. Yukiko: Hehe, thanks! Goon: (Looks like I made a great impression!)  Yukiko: Today was a lot of fun. Yukiko: Okay, I need to head home now. Goon: Okay, see you. 1/1: New Year's Day Goon: A new year starts today. Goon: Have any new year's cards come in? Goon: This is Tachibana-san's card. Brush calligraphy... it really has style.  New Year's greetings I wish you the very best for the new year and all that it brings. Tachibana Emi Goon: This is Shinjo-san's card. It isn't decorated at all? Goon: Well, that's just like her, I guess.  Happy New Year. Let's have another good year. Shinjo Serika Goon: Here's Shiratori's card. I'm pretty sure it's just lip service.  Let's have another good year. Shiratori Masaki Goon: This is Yabe's card. It's... it's very lively.  A lot of stuff happened last year, but let's have a good year this year! Instead of signing his name like a normal person, Takuo draws the first character of his first name a bunch of times as if it's a torrent of lava flying from the Fuji volcano he's drawn on his card. This almost - ALMOST makes up for him being a horrible creep otherwise. Another thing to note here: Yukiko has already tried to bomb, and her affection is not high enough to send a New Year's card, which arrives at neutral or higher affection. That means that she's going to be bombing at a rate of around once every 4-6 weeks and it's only going to get faster. Goon: Anyway, I got nothing better to do, maybe I should invite someone out to hatsumoude. (ring) Goon: Hey, Shinjo-san. It's me, Fudou. Serika: Oh, it's you. This is a surprise, what's up? Goon: Happy New Year. Hey, you want to go to hatsumoude with me? Serika: I can't today. I have other plans... sorry. Goon: (That sucks. Guess I'll have to go alone.) Welp.  Goon: (There are a ton of people here. I should just pay my respects and get home fast.)  Goon: What should I wish for? As tempting as the romance option is, we'll soon see that it's another fast ticket to Bombsville. Praying for health is pointless since we haven't had to use the Sleep option once due to a steady diet of relaxing tea and hearty lunches, so the only thing left to do is pray for academics, like always.  Goon: (They're selling fortunes over there. Should I pull one?) Sure, why not.  Goon: Ill fortune... this sucks. Goon: It'd be nice if this was a good year, though.  By the way, this is what happens in Tokimemo 3 when you pray for academics - every academic stat immediately levels. It's about 2-3 weeks of work, and kinda handy. 1/4: Date with Serika  Once again, for lack of better options it's all about wearing a suit to the movies. Cut: The usual "did I go to the wrong place?" angst  Serika: Fudou. Goon: Hey, Shinjo-san. Serika: Sorry... I had some stuff to take care of. Goon: Don't worry about it. Goon: So, the movie playing right now is the action-adventure movie Valley of Kings. Serika: Action-adventure, eh? From the poster, it looks pretty cool.  Goon: (Valley of Kings is a special effects blockbuster about hidden treasures under a pyramid.) Goon: (The scenes with the armies of mummies are awesome.)  Serika: Those mummies were CG, right? Serika: They looked pretty real, it was cool. Option 1: It feels like they aren't quite there yet, you know? Option 2: Yeah, it really felt like the latest and greatest technology. Option 3: All that CG everywhere makes it feel really fake. The temptation to apply these choices to Tokimemo 3 in general is overwhelming.  Goon: Yeah, it really felt like the latest and greatest technology. Serika: Movies are getting really advanced these days, I was impressed. Goon: (Looks like I made a great impression!)  Serika: Today went pretty well. Serika: Well, see ya later. Goon: See you. 1/11: Perfectly normal high school hobbies  At this point I would like to point out that in order to find another topic that Serika likes, we have to grow our own coffee beans from scratch and then make coffee from them. Is this... is this a real thing among coffee lovers? I mean, growing flowers and arranging your own bouquets is one thing, but growing your own coffee beans from scratch, roasting them, and brewing them seems like way too much effort. 1/20: Signs of personality  Emi: Oh, good afternoon. Goon: Hmm? Hey Tachibana-san, Shinjo-san.  Serika: Yo. You heading home? Goon: Yeah. You two doing the same? Emi: Yes, the two of us are going to go shopping. Goon: Oh? Serika: Yep. Later. Goon: (Tachibana-san and Shinjo-san sure seem like good friends.) 1/20: Bomb warning  What? It's only been a month since I went on the bomb-clearing date with Yukiko, it better not be her! 1/25-1/26: Recon  After calling Emi and Serika, I confirm that it's neither of them. Which means it's Yukiko. It hasn't even been three weeks, for crap's sake!  Note: At this point I played for a few months and decided "screw it, I'm loading to back before valentine's day". A few  One of the items that can be found via the Excavation activity is "A quiz from when I was young (8 points)" Let's, uh, let's hope that the score is out of 10 and not 100. And the real reason that I had to reload so far back:  Year 2 class assignments are random, and having Yukiko in our class isn't just a ticket to Bombsville, it's putting on a cowboy hat and riding the thing and whooping as it drops. 2/3: For the love of...  Yes, of course it's Yukiko's bomb. For crying out loud. 2/8: Zoo date with Serika  Okay, back to normal-person clothes.  Serika: I like animals, but I don't really like zoos. Serika: Well, I'll go with you, at least. Goon: Oh. Uh...  Serika: Okay, let's do this zoo thing. Goon: Sure.  Serika: Why do all the animals in zoos get put in cages, anyway? The poor things. Option 1: If they didn't do that, people would get attacked. Option 2: Because it's really hard for animals in cities... Option 3: It's just the way it is, isn't it?  Goon: Option 2: Because it's really hard for animals in cities... Serika: That's true. Serika: Now that you mention it, it's like people stole all their habitats. Serika: It's so sad. Goon: (Eh.) Well, that didn't go very well, I guess we still might be doomed to a lonely Valentine's Day.  Serika: Hey, you still free after this? Serika: It feels like we haven't been able to talk much. Goon: Alright, let's find a local place. Serika: Sounds good, let's hurry over there. Oh.  Serika: I can't relax here. Serika: I don't think I'm suited for noisy places like this. Goon: I see... Same dialogue as before. Goon: (What should we talk about?)  Talk in depth about coffee Serika: Oh, I see. That's a good idea. Goon: (She's listening enthusiastically)  Talk in depth about rock music Serika: Yeah? And then? Goon: (She seems pretty interested in the topic.)  Do you like exercise? Serika: Yeah, I guess I like it. More than studying for sure. Goon: (Looks like I made a pretty good impression.) We have now used up almost half of the topics in the game that Serika likes to talk about. It's going to be uphill from here.  Serika: Today was fun. Relatively. Serika: We're mostly in the same direction, how about we walk together for a while? Goon: Yeah, I'm cool with that. 2/14: Valentine's Day  Goon: It's Valentine's Day today. Goon: But no one's come up to me...  Takuo: Hehe. What's with the long face? Takuo: Don't tell me, you haven't received a single chocolate yet? Goon: Back off, man.  Takuo: Me, I've gotten so many that it's a problem. Takuo: I can't carry them all, so I'm just eating them as I get them. Goon: I, I see. Takuo: And that's how it is. Later. Hahaha... Goon: (I'm just so frustrated right now.) Goon: Sigh. Nothing here, I guess.  Goon: That's weird. Nothing here, either. Goon: I, I wonder what's wrong, they could've just given it to me earlier. Holy crap, Goon is being whiny right now.  Serika: Here you go. Serika: Better eat it all. It'll go to waste if you don't. Goon: Th, thanks. Goon: (Wait, is this chocolate - a military emergency food ration?) Goon: (In a way, it's like I've gotten something even rarer than a honmei chocolate.) Congratulations, goons, you've chosen the girl with your sense of humor. I think. I don't know if it's a joke at all, actually. 2/15: 2nd bomb-clearing date with Yukiko  Yukiko: Fudou-kun. Goon: Hey, Makihara-san.  Yukiko: Wow, you look fantastic today. Goon: Really? Thanks. Oh god it's getting worse  Yukiko: You know, I started coming to this arcade a lot last year. Option 1: Yeah, this place has a great atmosphere. Option 2: I did too, I totally didn't notice you. Option 3: You mean you didn't come here before?! Wow this is an insulting group of options.  Goon: Yeah, this place has a great atmosphere. Yukiko: I thought so too. Yukiko: It's nice to have an arcade that's so welcoming to girls. Goon: (Looks like I made a pretty good impression.)  Yukiko: Hey. We have some time, how about we grab something light somewhere. Goon: Good idea, let's do it. [BOMBING INTENSIFIES]  Yukiko: This is the first time we've been here together. Yukiko: Haha, I'm a little nervous.  Goon: (What should we talk about?)  Talk in depth about tea Yukiko: Oh, and? Goon: (She seems kinda interested.)  When's your birthday? Yukiko: Umm, it's September 11th. Yukiko: I'm supposed to be a Virgo, but I don't really seem like one, right? During development, Yukiko's birthday didn't carry any unfortunate connotations. It's only to Muricans that she has quite possibly the worst possible birthday for a serial bomber.  Talk about the baseball club Yukiko: It's nice, isn't it? Goon: (She seems pretty interested.)  Yukiko: Oh, it's about time for me to head home. Goon: You have a curfew? Yukiko: No, nothing like that, but around this time my mom starts worrying, so I try and make sure to be home by around now. Goon: I see. Yukiko: But I wish we could spend some more time together today. Ehehe. Goon: Time flies. <Airplane joke redacted>  Yukiko: Today was a lot of fun. Yukiko: I have to head home now. Goon: Later. 2/18: Walk home with Serika  Goon: Oh yeah, finals are coming up. Serika: Finals, eh? I don't really care. Serika: I'll make sure I don't fail. That's as far as I'll go. BOMB WARNING  Oh you've got to be kidding me. It's year one! Imagine how bad it will be when these people actually LIKE Goon! 2/25: Because this game doesn't hate me enough yet  Takuo: Hey. What do you think of Serika-chan? Goon: What is that supposed to mean? Takuo: She's been amazing lately. Takuo: That gloomy look to her really hits all the right spots. Takuo: I can barely contain myself! Goon: O, okay.  Goon: (So Shinjo-san is his type?) This is probably the sign that Takuo will try to pursue Serika in this run. I can't find it in me to be threatened - Serika's run demands high fighting stats in the first place, so it doesn't seem like Takuo will be anything more than a complete pushover should it come down to a showdown. 3/2: Moegino Watcher check  There are three attractions of note: one is a comedy duo called Yuuko and Yukari coming to the theater. No, this is not TM1's Yuuko and Yukari, they just named it that to provide you a bit of false hope. The other is the revival of an 11-year-old movie called 少女時代 Childhood Days - a genderbended version of a famous film about childhood in wartime. You'll understand why the movie is important fairly shortly. The third is a doggy and kitty playground opening up at the zoo. This will be very helpful. 3/3-3/7: Finals Goon: I did alright, huh?  44th: Shiratori Masaki 62nd: Fudou Gunzou 133rd: Makihara Yukiko 149th: Shinjo Serika 163rd: Tachibana Emi 22nd: Yabe Takuo  Serika: Hey, I saw your scores. Serika: You did better than I did. Goon: Nah, it's nothing big. Serika: Don't say that. Serika: Must be nice, all I got were barely passing scores. Goon: How about we study for the next test together?   Captured in the wild: Serika smiling. This rare and fleeting phenomenon lasts for something like 5 frames. Serika: Haha, good idea. Serika: I'll hold you to that... some time. Maybe. 3/8: The arcade with Serika  Serika: Sorry I'm late. Goon: Hey, Shinjo-san. Grey hair, popped collar... I'm not saying. I'm just saying.  Serika: Geez. Those crane games really make it seem easy. Serika: But everything is always just out of reach. Option 1: That's just how games work. Option 2: That's the fun part. Option 3: Yeah, it's really irritating.  Goon: Yeah, it's really irritating. Serika: Right? It'd be faster to use the money to buy the same thing you would've wasted your money on trying to catch. Goon: (Looks like I made a pretty good impression.)  Serika: Well, that wasn't bad. Serika: Let's head home. Goon: Yeah, let's. 3/10: Bomb Warning  Oh. It was Emi this time. Great. 3/14: White Day  Goon: (Today's White Day. Who should I give my White Day gift to?) Goon: Okay, I'll give it to Shinjo-san. Goon: (Hey, I think that's Shinjo-san over there.) Goon: Shinjo-san!  Serika: Hmm? What's going on? Goon: Here. As thanks for Valentine's Day.  Serika: Oh, sorry. You didn't have to give me anything. Serika: But since you're offering, I'll gladly accept it. Goon: (She seemed sorta happy.) 3/16: Aikido match  Easy win. No new dialogue. 3/18: Meet Yellow  Yellow: Oh, you appear to be working on a painting. Yellow: But can you really call what you're doing "painting"? Goon: What? Yellow: It's awful. It's not expressive at all, and the perspective is pathetic. Yellow: It's like a kindergartener's scribbling. Yellow: Why don't you stop wasting paper? Goon: ... Yellow: I feel a headache coming on. Excuse me. Goon: (What was with that girl? She just showed up, badmouthed me, and left.)  Goon: Hey, Yabe! Takuo: Hey. I saw all of that. Takuo: She really laid into you. Goon: Yeah... Takuo: Mari-chan's gorgeous, but she's kind of overbearing. Takuo: The first time she talked to me, she really let me have it too. Goon: You know her, Yabe? Takuo: What? You haven't heard about Mari-chan from the drama club? Takuo: Her mom's a famous actress, and her dad's a director, so she's super rich. Takuo: Because of her parents, they say she's gonna be a famous actress herself. Takuo: But if she was really working on that, I don't think she'd be at a normal high school like this. Goon: Hmm. Takuo: Now if you'll excuse me, some ladies are waiting for me. Goon: (She's that famous? I had no idea.) There is a fortuitously timed part 2 to this event coming up, which was completely unintended. 3/21: Bomb-clearing movies with Emi  Goon: According to this, the movie playing right now is Childhood Days. Emi: It appears to be a drama. Emi: I suppose the tone is going to be very serious. Goon: That's not bad every once in a while. Goon: Let's go find our seats.  Goon: (Childhood Days is a drama about a family whose life is turned upside-down by ethnic strife in a foreign country.) Goon: (I wonder if it's because the movie's so plain-looking, but there aren't many people here.) As a reminder, this version of Childhood Days was filmed 10 or 11 years before the setting of Tokimemo 3. Which would make Mari about 6 years old when the movie was made.  Emi: Ah, I was entranced. What did you think? Option 1: It was kinda boring, I fell asleep. Option 2: It was utterly depressing. Option 3: I'm glad it had a happy ending.  Goon: I'm glad it had a happy ending. Emi: Yes, I agree. Emi: It was nice that the family was able to find happiness in the end. Goon: (Looks like I made a great impression!) The next few weeks get muddied by the sheer number of times I was forced to reload the beginning of the second school year. Even though classes change on 4/7, the RNG seed is set on 4/3, forcing any giblo to start in March. This meant I had to reload for over 6 hours to get the right RNG - representing 55 or so reloads. I'd keep a count, but you know what? Screw this game. I don't want to talk about it right now. It's depressing. YKWSTG count: 5 ROYAL RAINBOW!     Okay. Okay. That took a more drastic cleansing than usual, but I think I'm ready for the next stream and post soon. Next time:

September 11? Really? Really? This game is awesome. Not good, not at all, but it inspires awe.

We should note that during one of the aborted time loops, Yukiko made everyone in the stream hate her even more at this point. Rather than embracing the idea of a guy having similar tastes to her, Yukiko rigidly enforces gender roles and will freak out at you if you choose option 3. Way to keep digging that hole, girl. 7c Nickel fucked around with this message at 13:04 on Jun 26, 2014 |

Yabe didn't even draw his name on the nengajo. He just stamped it with his hanko a dozen times. Lazy fucker.

Your references to Dr. Strangelove and Galaxy Express blended together in my mind to form the image of Yukiko's 'bomb' being her riding the Galaxy Express as it crashes straight down onto Goon.

I was under the impression that Yukiko was not a very memorable lead, but I'm finding her one of the more memorable characters in the franchise because of how loving often she will threaten to bomb you. It feels like she's more bomb-happy than fuckin Megumi.

Snazzy dresser, good sense of humor, I think this might be Goon's dream girl.

Bombing isn't really an issue in Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 3rd Story. It's only an issue if you decide to chase multiple guys and date all of them. Otherwise if you focus on one guy, the other guys won't suddenly decide to bomb you for no reason. This game just looks like a huge mess. Not really that exciting unless you enjoy pain and suffering.

Serika remains one of only two likable characters in the game, alongside Emi. And she remains the only one with a personality.

Oh, so this is where the female protagonist option from Persona 4: Golden ended up. How terribly tragic.

I think you meant Tokimemo 3.  I was actually kind of excited at first when I thought it was a glimpse into our future.Interestingly enough, when I tried to google something about Tokimemo 3, Google suggested really really hard that surely I meant Girl's Side 3 instead (and in almost every case it'd be right, Girl's Side 3 kicks rear end. In that game, only people you've actually dated before can bomb you).

The stream also had a pretty good laugh at Emi's very unfortunate choice in color for her shirt.
