The DS version of the chocolate minigame, for your viewing pleasure. Some notes about it: -I blew through the directions, but you basically use the stylus to draw a spiral as Tsukushi indicates. L spirals need to go counterclockwise, and R spirals need to go clockwise. Stirring the wrong way, taking too long to stir, or stirring out of the bowl will count as a mistake. The spirals that start from the middle and go out tend to be picky about what side of the bowl you start on, although I think that's technically not supposed to matter. -You can still get perfect chococlate if you gently caress up; the number of fuckups allowed is based on your Social stat. Mine was 140, so I could make 2 mistakes and still get a perfect chocolate. At lower levels of social you may only have room for one or zero errors. -You're given a few chances to remake your chocolate, but at the cost of Stress. -It's worth it to intentionally make disaster chocolate and give it to guys. Their reactions are amazing, and they also change depending on affection levels. (Just reload afterward) quote:Regional fashion confession: here in the San Francisco area, jeans and a hoodie are an acceptable outfit year-round. I didn't think this would be a problem, since hoodies and pants are plenty warm for most occasions.

If you gave Kazuma (non-poisonous) homemade chocolate would he like it less than the fancy or obligation chocolate? He seems like the kind of guy that would get embarrassed enough about it that there could be a compensation backlash.

It's a very good thing that we took the Flower Shop job, since it and the Coffee Shop are the only two jobs that raise Intelligence instead of tanking it. If we hadn't gotten the Coffee Shop job, I can guarantee you from experience that Goonko would have 0 Intelligence right now. As for the Chocolates Mini Game...holy hell.  Digging through my memories of fansites, I remembered some places that MIGHT help.http://tokimemo.gs/tokimeki/ is an English fansite for only the PS2 versions of GS1 and GS2, they have tips in the Mini Game Section: Utsukushiki Sekai posted:How to Play I also looked around for Japanese wiki's, but frustratingly, there seem to be wiki's for every Girl's Side game EXCEPT the PS2 version of TMGS1. The link to the Japanese wiki of the TMGS1 DS game is here, maybe someone will have more luck than me through looking for links: http://www29.atwiki.jp/1stlove/pages/1.html Catalina fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Oct 1, 2014 |

Sadly, I think I have to skip out on streaming tomorrow due to what looks like a 13-hour workday (I work in video games, these things happen). I'll try to have a new post up on Friday. In the meantime, I present: Miho tries to make chocolate: a tragedy in 2 acts I feel like I should overlay Yakkity Sax or something in order to make it clear just how badly we did on that mini-game.

Just finished catching up, the games are awesome except Tokimeki Memorial (well except for Serika and Emi) and you are awesome too Vibratingsheep. Wow that mini-game is awful. Also i have never played a Tokimeki Memorial game ever but i hope you NEVER go after Kei because if i'm right he's the Shiori of the game in requirements (the fact he seems to be pretty much portrayed as being perfect) to get his ending though i could be wrong. Oh andi won't spoil who i think it is but i'm almost certain you might have already meet a childhood friend of the main character but again my gut feeling could be wrong.

vibratingsheep posted:In the meantime, I present: The crying baby in the background makes the pain so much more palpable. Also for posterity - while in Japan earlier this year, I found and bought the PS2 version of the official complete guide to Tokimemo Girl's Side. Please assume all following spoilers are in relation to in-depth game technicalities, spoiled because Sheep going in blind is pretty funny. It is a 304-page full color book with the exact starting stats and friend each room gives you, exactly how much each command raises/lowers each stat, all the clothes and their warmth (jeans and hoodie combined at 30 warmth, while the USA skirt outfit combined at 50)and monetary values and even what months/years you can buy them in what colors - including the Cosplay clothes you can buy like Alucard's clothes or the school uniforms from the previous three TM games that I've never seen in the DS version, numerical point values for affection values and how responses to fashion/dates/presents change, all the special images it's possible to get, and of course detailed profiles of each character including all the possible outfits and facial expressions they wear at any given moment, all the scribble forms, and how the boys will react to all possible response choices on any dates. As an example, for the ski date shown in the last update, for the option Sheep picked, if our Sports parameter was 39 or under, that would've been the worst choice possible. As it is we were 40+ so it was the best one. They also give the complete line response. If our athletics sucked, Kazuma would've said "Hey now, didn't you just barely manage to stand?" (Actual line: おいおい、立ってんのもやっとじゃねえか。) If we had said we were only okay at it, Kazuma would've said "Then let's go all out on the slopes today!" (じゃ、今日はトコトン滑ろうぜ！). And if we had said we were absolutely awful at it, Kazuma would've said "...I guess I've got no choice. Fine, I'll only teach you for 15 minutes. Then go do whatever you want." (……しかたねえな。じゃ、15分だけ教えてやるからよ。あと勝手に滑れよな。) Also I probably mistranslated some of those. Despite all this detail, there is only one point where the Valentine's Day minigame pops up. It doesn't give any advice or direction towards making the chocolate and only tells you how many times you can miss before you drop to the next level (from Extremely Well Done to You Can Do Much Better) - yes, this is affected by the Social stat - and how each kind of chocolate numerically affects affection levels. It assumes that the in-game instructions are all you need. Even Japanese game wikis would not have helped.

Goonko just knows that, when making handmade chocolate, it's the thought that counts. So she makes it as lovely as possible and gives it to guys she doesn't like.

I only have one possible suggestion, based on my experience with Sakura Wars 5. If this minigame is anything like the Stick LIPS sections in that game, it will only read a stick rotation if the stick is pushed all the way to the outside of its track for the entire rotation. Rotating it with a thumb won't cut it, at least, not unless you're much more dexterous with your thumbs than I am; you have to grab the stick with your whole hand and really crank it around. If you're already doing that, then I have no idea.

Speaking of Sakura Wars, vibratingsheep you said you hated the fourth one earlier earlier in the thread but as i only have read the Sakura Wars thread and seen someone play the fifth one can you tell me why you hate it so much? Is it worse than Tokimeki Memorial 3?

Nah, it's not worse than Tokimeki Memorial 3. At least they stuck to a consistent art style (it wasn't until Sakura Taisen 5 that Matsubara left in disgust). However, it shares many similarities in that it was obviously a huge rush job - they tried to throw in everything they could think of, and when they did so it made for an incredibly shallow game experience.

Tokimemo Girl's Side, Chapter 9: I'll make a man out of you 2/21: Hanging out with Mizuki Alright, so Valentine's Day went about as well as it could have, all things considered. But we know really needs some  Goonko: Hey, Sudou-san, want to swing by a cafe on the way home? Mizuki: That sounds wonderful. Mizuki: It must have the highest-quality tea if you are inviting Mizuki to it. Goonko: Well, it's pretty good, at least.  Goonko: Hey, Sudou-san-- Mizuki: Oui? Option 1: Ask her what TV shows she likes Option 2: Ask her what food she likes Option 3: Ask her what sports she likes At this point I would like to repeat that this is Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side. We're supposed to be going on dates with guys. Just a reminder.  Goonko: What kind of food do you like? Mizuki: This might sound strange, but I love croissants and café au lait. Mizuki: As long as I have them, I don't need anything else. Goonko: Really? That's definitely not what I expected to hear.  Mizuki: Sigh... my chef went back to Paris, and I simply can't find a replacement! Mizuki: The smell of freshly baked croissants every morning was such a simple pleasure for a humble girl like Mizuki. Goonko: I... I see. Gotta say, Mizuki. Love you as a character and a friend. Would probably despise having to date you. Oh, who'm I kidding, she reminds me of Mei, and Mei was an awesome character in an awesome game. I'd date Mizuki if I could and whisper to her "don't worry about it, baby, just put on the wig and pretend you like computers". 3/3-3/7: Finals  As you might imagine, an entire year spent playing basketball and hanging out with a humble girl like Mizuki has been murder on Goonko's academics score. It currently sits at 34, and that includes a +14 bonus from praying at the shrine. So were it not for the literal intervention of the gods, Goonko's Academics would be spiraling slowly and surely into the toilet. There's only one person who can help us.  Shiho didn't help us as much as studying would have. That's a little unfortunate, since I was hoping that copying her notes would have some kind of positive effect.  12th: Arisawa Shiho 91st: Mihara Shiki 119th: Konno Tamami 124th: Sudou Mizuki 135th: Fudou Kimiko 154th: Hazuki Kei 231st: Suzuka Kazuma Kei slept through two tests in a row, which still doesn't make him at all interesting or fun. 3/10: Goro's spring column  Ciao! Is everyone in love~? La la, Spring is the season of new encounters. Those of you who want to meet wonderful new people, just follow me! The current craze is nylon skirts! If you wear that to a date, your man will melt in your hands~! Next up, the fashionable color is grey! Work that into your wardrobe! And on top of that, it might be nice to wear a shawl as an accent. If you wear all of these at once, you'll be invincible, I tell you - unbeatable! Throw your body at the problem, and you'll be able to shoot your man out of the skies! ★Goro's sexy calisthenics★  Transform yourself into a beauty! Okay that makes even less sense than usual, Goro. We're trying to get a boyfriend here, not bait guys into jumping against Zangief so he can land Siberian Blizzard and protect Russian skies. 3/14: White Day  Tsukushi: Sis, you awake? Goonko: Hey! How many times have I told you to knock? Goonko: Huh? Why're you heading to school this early? Tsukushi: Today's White Day. I've gotta hand out all these presents. Goonko: And you need to be this early for it? Tsukushi: Well, I got a lot of chocolate.  Tsukushi: Being too popular sure does cause me a lot of problems. Tsukushi: Anyway, I'm heading out now. See ya! Goonko: (What makes that kid so popular, anyway?)  Shiki: Hey, Fudou-kun. This is my thanks for Valentine's Day. Goonko: Wow, thanks. Shiki: You're welcome. Shiki: Let's see, next on the list is... Goonko: (Yeah, this was definitely just out of obligation.)  Kazuma: Yo, Fudou. Glad I caught you. Kazuma: Here you go. Kazuma: As thanks for Valentine's Day. Goonko: Oh, thanks, Suzuka-kun. Goonko: (This is out of obligation... I think.)  Kei: Fudou. Here. Goonko: Hey, Hazuki-kun. Thanks! Goonko: (This is out of ob...ligation?) 3/16: A new cheering section  Kazuma: Fudou. Goonko: Oh, hi Suzuka-kun. Kazuma: Make sure you do all your pre-game stretching. Goonko: (Alright! Time to kick rear end!) At least, I think he's cheering. Hard to tell with that.  Goonko: (You see that? That's our team's full potential!)  Kazuma: Hey, Fudou. Your team isn't bad at all! Goonko: Thanks! Goonko: (We worked so hard for that!) 3/20: Flowers for Kazuma  Kazuma: Yo, Fudou! Goonko: Hi, Suzuka-kun. What brings you here? Kazuma: I was just passing by. Kazuma: It gets pretty strong when there are this many flowers around, huh? At this point I would like to point out that Kazuma's hoodie has a backboard printed on it. I think he would just skin a basketball and wear it on his chest if he could. What a romantic. 3/27: Shiho's nicknames 
Pretty pedestrian set of nicknames there, most of those would actually be things that people call their friends. We're not very good friends with Shiho yet, though, since all we have is a day of copying her notes and some time spent at work.  Goonko: Arisawa-san! Shiho: Are you heading home, Fudou-san? Goonko: Yeah, want to walk home together? Shiho: That's not a bad idea.  Goonko: Arisawa-san, do you have any plans over spring break? Goonko: Other than going to the library and your prep school, I mean. Shiho: Hmm, I don't really have anything planned. Shiho: I might go to the botanical gardens. Goonko: Yeah? Do you go there a lot, Arisawa-san?  Shiho: N, no! Not a lot. Shiho: I mean, you know, I work at a flower shop, so... Goonko: Reeeeeeally. Goonko: (I wonder what I should do over spring break myself?) Goonko, you are not allowed to take Shiho to task over a botanical hobby. You work at the same drat flower shop.  By the way, the answer to Goonko's question was sleep and study. Stress is building up slowly but surely, while Goonko's academics continue to slip even with Shiho's assistance. 4/4: The beginning of year 2  Goonko: (The new school year starts today! I wonder who my new homeroom teacher is?)  Reiichi: My name is Himuro Reiichi. I've been charged with this class. Reiichi: Starting today, you're second-year students. To the incoming first-years, you are their seniors. Reiichi: For the sake of providing them with a proper example, I expect all of you to be diligent and practice moderation. Reiichi: That is all. Goonko: (So I'm in Himuro-sensei's class again)  Goonko: (Huh? I feel like someone's watching me.) Goonko: Who's there? Goonko: Don't sneak around, come out and face me!  ???: You've got the wrong idea, dude! I swear! ???: I'm not a stalker, man! ???: Me, I'm Hibiya Wataru! Class 1-F! Goonko: Hibiya-kun? What do you want from me? This kid ends all of his sentences in "-ssu", which is a slurred contraction of "desu" and is a vocal tic he shares with the Prinnies of Disgaea. NISA translates it as "dood", and while it fits for the Prinnies, I might explode if I have to write "dood" that many times. I'll switch between "man" and "dude" instead. Also, I'd recognize that gurgle anywhere. Hibiya Wataru is voiced by none other than... Yamaguchi Kappei! Yamaguchi Kappei's signature robot roles: 1) Sai Saici (G Gundam)  2) Tasuku Shinguuji (Super Robot Wars OG) Yamaguchi Kappei's most, uh, "special" role: Kuma (Persona 4)  What I hear every time he opens his mouth: 25 minutes of robot puns. And bear puns.  "Light truck! Heavy sword! ANPONTAN!" Back to the LP.  Wataru: I heard that you're friends with Hazuki-senpai, senpai! Goonko: Huh? If you wanna talk to Hazuki-kun, why don't you go talk to him directly?  Wataru: I--I did, but it was no good, man. Wataru: I asked him to teach me his ways, but he just said Wataru: "Cut it out." Wataru: And he cut me off just like that, man. Goonko: You... you asked him to teach you his ways?  Wataru: Yeah! I'm training to be a real man! Wataru: That's why I respect Hazuki-senpai so much! Wataru: He's so cool, he's a genius, and his fashion is impeccable! Wataru: To me, he's the perfect man, man! Goonko: I, I see. Wataru: Anyway, from now on, I'll start following you fair and square, senpai. Wataru: Nice to meet you! Goonko: What?! W, wait a second... Wataru: Alright! I've taken another big step forward today! 4/6: New e-mail Apparently, in Girl's Side, your class is always set as having Hazuki in it, and the other girls/guys are never in the same class. That kind of sucks, but it takes a lot of reloading out of the picture, at least. From: tamami Subject: That's sad  Kimiko-chan We're in different classes again this year (;_; I thought this would be the year we'd be able to hang out in the same class. But at least we're neighbors, so we'll able to have lunch together, right? I'll head to your class to hang out soon. Good night Tamami From: sudou Subject: We're second-year students now  Ça va? Today, the new semester starts. You must be so disappointed that you're not in Mizuki's class that I had to send this e-mail. Mizuki will almost definitely make many new friends, but don't worry, she'll still remember you. Don't be too depressed, okay? Whattagal. 4/6: Date with Kazuma  New year. Old outfit. USA! USA! USA!  Oh. Not only is his hoodie decorated with a backboard, but it actually is a basketball pattern. What a guy.  Kazuma: The cherry blossoms are in bloom. Wanna go check 'em out?  Kazuma: There are cherry blossoms everywhere. Option 1: It's a view we can only enjoy for a brief time. Option 2: They'll just turn into litter soon. Option 3: It's like we're in a dream world. I don't know how romantic Kazuma expects to be, so I chose option 1 over option 3.  Goonko: It's a view we can only enjoy for a brief time. Kazuma: Yeah! You can only enjoy delicious food under these cherry blossoms for a little while, and it's so awesome. Goonko: (Yay! Perfect impression!) 4/13: Tsukushi check-in Hibiya Wataru  Birthday: September 4, 1987 Sign: Virgo Blood type: O Height: 163cm Weight: 53kg Job: None Club: Baseball Habataki Academy freshman. My first disciple.  Okay, okay. I'll get to work on the whole "dating boys" thing soon. As soon as I'm done making sure that Mizuki and Goonko are BFFs. 5/11: Bowling with Kazuma  Kazuma: Which do you want to do today? Option 1: Bowling, of course! Option 2: Billiards, I guess  Goonko: Bowling, of course! Kazuma: Alright! Let's do this, you and me one on one!  Kazuma: Man, I can't wait to get started! Option 1: Hey, could you teach me how to do this? That'd be nice. Option 2: I bet I can beat you! Option 3: It's just a game, let's have fun.  Goonko: I bet I can beat you! Kazuma: Yes! That's the spirit! Kazuma: I'm not gonna hold back! Goonko: (Yay! Perfect impression!) 5/18: The meaning of teamwork  Goonko: (Oh yeah, the boys team is playing today.) Kazuma: Fine, I get it! Kazuma: I don't care anymore!  Goonko: ...  Kazuma: Oh. How long've you been here? Goonko: Isn't your game still going? Kazuma: Coach's orders. Kazuma: He told me to go cool off. Goonko: What happened? Kazuma: He told me "If you want to play by yourself, get off the court!" Kazuma: Can you believe that guy? Kazuma: What a loving joke, does he even know how many points I've scored? Kazuma: What the hell does he want me to do? Goonko: I'm pretty sure the coach wants you to understand that basketball is a team sport.  Kazuma: Shut up! You think you're so smart?! Kazuma: All that matters is how good I am! Goonko: Is that really all you love about basketball? Kazuma: ... Goonko: You're a basketball player, aren't you, Suzuka-kun? Goonko: You're part of the team even when you're on the bench.  Kazuma: Even when I'm not on the court, I'm part of the team...? Goonko: Yeah. Goonko: And that's why the game isn't over for you as long as the rest of the team is still fighting.  Kazuma: I'm the one who's dumb, huh. Kazuma: I'm gonna go back inside. Kazuma: I'll keep on playing the game... Kazuma: Even if I have to do it from off the court. Goonko: I bet everyone's waiting for you to come back.  Kazuma: I'm really sorry for taking things out on you. Goonko: (Fight hard, Suzuka-kun.) What I think Goonko looks like right now, part 18:  5/19: All according to plan  Goonko: What?! Goonko: Suzuka-kun got hurt? Tamami: Yeah, that's why he didn't come to school today. Goonko: (Should I go visit him?) Goonko: (Yes, I should swing by and see him on the way home.)  Kazuma: Fudou? What're you doing here? Goonko: Well, I heard you got hurt, so--  Kazuma: Wha? It's not a big deal! Kazuma: There's no reason for you to come all the way out here. Kazuma: I was playing with some kids in the park, and one of the little brats was about to collide with the fence. Kazuma: I tried to run after him and catch him, and then I twisted my ankle. Kazuma: Just a little, though. Goonko: So that's what happened. Goonko: Is your leg alright? Kazuma: It's just a mild sprain! Kazuma: I only took today off as a precaution. Goonko: I'm glad it wasn't anything big. Kazuma: ... Goonko: Something wrong? You're just staring at me. Kazuma: N, no! No. I'm not! Kazuma: I'm, I'm not staring.  Kazuma: Ow! Goonko: Are you okay? Kazuma: I'm... I'm fine. Goonko: Suzuka-kun? Kazuma: I'm fine, okay? But I was worried. Kazuma: I was really worried that I seriously hurt my leg bad. Kazuma: And maybe they'd take me off the starting squad, you know?  Kazuma: But when I saw your face, I stopped worrying for some reason. Goonko: Did I look like an angel in white? Kazuma: Hahaha, no way! It's because you looked so stupidly upbeat! Kazuma: Thanks. Kazuma: It's hard to put it in words, but I'm really grateful. Translator's note: "An angel in white" is also what you call a nurse, so there's a bit of a double meaning there. What I think Goonko looks like right now, part 19:  5/25: All according to plan, part 2  Goonko: Huh? Who could be calling? Goonko: Hello? Mizuki: Allô! Mizuki: I knew that you wouldn't be busy! Goonko: Oh, hi Sudou-san. This is a surprise, what's going on? Mizuki: The weather is wonderful today, so I thought that you might want to accompany Mizuki on a shopping trip! Goonko: Sure, I can go. Mizuki: Then I will wait for you at the entrance of the mall. Goonko: Got it. Mizuki: Oh, and in case you forgot, Mizuki absolutely despises when people are late! Mizuki: See you soon!  Mizuki: Garrison, have them wrap this one up too! Garrison: Understood, young mistress. Goonko: Hey Sudou-san, are you still gonna keep on shopping?  Mizuki: Of course! I won't go home until I buy every single thing that I want! Goonko: I, I see. Garrison: Sorry it took so long, young mistress. Mizuki: Then it's time to move on to the next stop. Mizuki: Follow me, you two!  Goonko: Is it always like this, Itou-san? Garrison: That is partially true, but she is far more energetic than usual today. Goonko: I wonder why she's so cheerful? Garrison: It may be difficult to understand, but when Mizuki-sama is with you, she is always this cheerful. Goonko: Really? Garrison: She is a very honest and kind girl at heart. Garrison: Mizuki-sama has been living between here and Paris since she was a very young child. Garrison: With that on top of her very forceful personality, she doesn't know how to make friends very well. Garrison: She may cause you a great deal of trouble, but please keep being her friend. Goonko: Okay...  Mizuki: What are the two you doing? Mizuki: Mizuki absolutely despises being kept waiting! Garrison: We're coming. Goonko: (I didn't know Sudou-san had all of that going on...)  Mizuki: I want you to have this, Fudou-san. Goonko: What? Didn't you say "Tres mignon" and buy this at the last place? Mizuki: Yes, but it's too childish for Mizuki, so she doesn't need it! Option 1: Accept the fancy lip mirror Option 2: Don't accept the fancy lip mirror I'm told that a lip mirror is one of those little lipstick cases that comes with a tiny mirror that is just large enough to let you see your mouth when you're putting on lipstick. Being a girl is hard.  Accept the fancy lip mirror Garrison: This is a token of the young mistress' affection. Goonko: (I got a fancy lip mirror!) Goonko: (It's so pretty.) Mizuki: Whew. Today was so much fun! Goonko: Yeah, I had fun too. Mizuki: You're welcome. Mizuki: Garrison, we're going home! Bring the limo around. Garrison: Understood. Mizuki: A bientôt! Goonko: See you later, Mizuki-san, Garrison-san. Whattagal  Anyway, this item, like several others in the game, gives a small but significant boost to Goonko's stats. It's pretty much worth a week of hanging out with Mizuki - +5 Art, +5 Charm. 5/29: More friendship points  Shiho: Fudou-san, you learn quickly. Shiho: You picked up all the breeds and how to care for them immediately. Shiho: I've had some serious competition here since you started working. 6/1: A door opens, a door closes, and fashion shifts.  This is an ad for being a game tester at "Salamander". As a former game tester for Konami myself, I have to say: don't do it. Just don't do it, Goonko! It's bad. It's real bad.  Ciao! Is everyone in love~? It's summer. And my body is so ready for summer. Mmmm, I can't just sit here any longer. I'm off to the beach! Have a hot, hot summer, everyone! The current craze is bondage jackets! If you wear that to a date, your man will melt in your hands~! Next up, the fashionable color is yellow! Work that into your wardrobe! And on top of that, it might be nice to wear earrings as an accent. With this, you'll be a perfect 10! His eyes will be nailed to you. See you again! ★Goro's sexy calisthenics★ Transform yourself into a beauty! 6/3: The Heavy Condaller returns  Goonko: (Huh? Someone's still training at this hour? Is he with the baseball team?)  Wataru: Fudou-senpai, good work today, dude! Wataru: You heading home? Goonko: Hibiya-kun? Wow, it must be rough to have to keep training this late. Wataru: Nah, this training is something I gotta do. Goonko: I see... I think. Wataru: I wanna get back to it, so I gotta go. Goonko: Huh? When you said training, did you mean that field roller? Wataru: That's right, dude! RRRRRAAAAAHHHHH!  Wataru: I--I'll work... twice as hard... as anyone else! Wataru: Hnnnnngh! Goonko: B, but if you go too hard, you'll hurt yourself. Wataru: Hrrrgh! Wataru: Thanks for worrying about me, dude! Wataru: But I'm good! Wataru: If I wanna make it in the pros, I can't let a little thing like this stop me! Goonko: Oh, you wanna go pro, Hibiya-kun? Wataru: Yes ma'am! Hibiya Wataru will make the roster as an undrafted free agent, and then win Rookie of the Year! Wataru: And then... and then, in three years, I'll get married to a news announcer! Wataru: That's my dream! Goonko: ...Uh. Good luck. That's... the most specific dream of making it to the pros that I've ever heard. Next time: Dating boys. I swear.

When I got to this part, his voice and enthusiastic lines reminded me so much of Wakamatsu from Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun. ... If Goonko ever decides to hang out with Wataru, would that make us the Seo to his Waka? Although I doubt we'll see much of him because of sheep's fixation on becoming BFFs with Mizuki way more.

Hibiya is my favourite, because he reminds me of how I would act when I was in high school. That and he's pretty cheerful and friendly.

vibratingsheep posted:At this point I would like to point out that Kazuma's hoodie has a backboard printed on it. I think he would just skin a basketball and wear it on his chest if he could. I'm going to run with this and say that Kazuma eventually becomes Cyberdwarf in the future. Incidentally, Cyberdwarf is the protagonist of Barkley, Shut Up & Jam: Gaiden's optional dating sim portion.

Wearing a bondage jacket in a hot, hot summer looks like it'd melt you before it melts your man, Goro. Also that moment in which you show Kazuma the meaning of teamwork might be the most anime this game has gotten, and that's saying a lot. Seriously.

Mizuki actually compliments you though, even if most of those compliments are the 'You are ALMOST as cool as Miziki' sort. She appreciates your almost as good as her status. So have this almost good enough for her mirror worth 19 thousand rich. Mihara lacks even this half assed appreciation for you. As for the taste in Jackets, wait, we're turning into a final Fantasy character? Section Z fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Oct 5, 2014 |

I like how Kazuma is straightforward and pretty easy to please. I don't think Goonko will have much difficulty capturing his heart! On the other hand, Kazuma will have to compete with Mizuki for Goonko's heart.

Section Z posted:Mizuki actually compliments you though, even if most of those compliments are the 'You are ALMOST as cool as Miziki' sort. She appreciates your almost as good as her status. So have this almost good enough for her mirror worth 19 thousand rich. To be fair, Mizuki really likes Goonko, and Mihara is pretty meh about Goonko. And yes, that does make a difference, what with the whole "warms up to you as you grow closer" trope. Since I'm working out this character trait in my own playthrough, having reached the point where this difference is really apparent, I'm gonna ramble a bit behind some spoiler blocks, the guy seems to only have two speeds. Total indifference, and total passion. There's no place where he just sort of likes a thing and it's kind of OK he guesses. While this is pretty pronounced with the PC, I can't think of anything or anyone that doesn't fit into one of those two categories, so I'm just guessing it's a general character trait. Basically, once he decides he likes you, you are his beautiful muse/fairy princess. Uh, speaking of which, I have a question about how affection rankings work in this game, so that part of the basis of the above rambling isn't partially undermined, so this block of of spoilers is not analysis I've been mulling over, but question: Do all guys jump ranks super-fast once they hit  ? Because that was ridiculous, and if so, I have no idea why  and even exist, since Shiki basically jumped from just barely starting to full blushie mode in about a month, after hanging at :| for about a year of lots and lots of dating. I was only clued in when I started getting barraged by events.

Once you get over the hurdle, it's almost like the affection level just skyrockets to after that. I don't know if there's any reasoning behind it, though.

Hibiya is just super adorable and I loved both Usopp and Kuma so naturally I want to see as much of him as possible. He's just so adorable and his hot blooded fighting spirit is perfect for a sporty Heroine!

Kazuma is kind of selfish a lot and dour a lot of the time, (its okay, Goonko can change him!) so I wouldn't mind if maybe some time was spent with this new guy to see what he's like.

No, girls. As the senpai we have a social and anime obligation to never notice him, no matter how hard he tries. It's in the rulebook.

Since one of the guides I was following only mentioned this in the context of Mihara, I was sort of hoping there were individual affection "curves" of sorts for different guys. It's certainly a nice idea, anyway. Still, one can't complain that all's well. Also, we can't distract Hibiya from his dreams! His oddly-specific dreams! ...Eh. It might be worth seeing, since his is not a character archetype I normally pay much attention to.
