dmboogie posted:Sorry if this question is approaching I don't know the reason as to why, but Tokimemo has actually been one of those cursed projects in fan translations circles for a while, where people have tried to get something going for it and then for one reason or the other, it's just fallen apart. I think a couple of the Girl's Side games got translated into English but otherwise the only real crack at a mainline Tokimeki was a reasonably complete english patch of all the endings of Tokimeki 1. E; Sorry, that didn't really answer your question. People just haven't been able to keep it together long enough to make any significant progress on it.

territory, but is there any particular reason that there's never been any sort of fan translation for this game?

Tokimemo 2's looking way more interesting than the first already, looking forward to seeing the rest of this game. Also, out of a twisted curiosity this thread made me try out the PSP port of Tokimemo 1 which looks to be a straight port of the PS1 version with virtually no changes as far as I can tell and seeing this mere update has sort of irked me that Tokimemo 1 is the one with the PSP port and not Tokimemo 2 because honestly, actually playing Tokimemo 1 it was okay but very swiftly got repetitive, Tokimemo 2 seems like it's got more things to keep the actual gameplay fresh.

vibratingsheep posted:I believe Tokimemo 2 can also be played on PSP; I'm currently playing it on my PS3, at least. Tokimemo 2 is also a straight port, but with some bug fixes. If Wikipedia is to be believed, Tokimemo 2 wasn't released on PSP as like an actual physical UMD release like Tokimemo 1 was which is how I played it, but both of the PS1 versions of the games are available on the Japanese PSN which entails having a Japanese PSN account which I do not currently possess but sounds like it'd be easy enough to set up, so you can play both on a PSP like that. Delightfully, this means the PSP has access to two separate but completely identical versions of Tokimemo 1.

Wait, does that work the same if you flip the Miho's? Does Miho A's ending require Miho B to like you? If not, is it at all possible to have Goon get with Miho A and Takumi get with Miho B? Because if so that's the outcome I'm rooting for.

ChaosArgate posted:So about that forever alone ending... Does that mean that Jun and Takumi are fated to not get the girl they go after since they're tearfully singing as well? That ending occurs if you actively cockblock the both of them and don't get with someone yourself, according to when it was mentioned in this LP. I infer that therefore they can get with the girl they go after which makes me curious about variants on the endings if both your friends succeed and you don't or one of them succeeds and no-one else does etc.

I have a question for ya, where are you getting your info from about some of the finer points of these games? I ask here because really where the hell else am I going to go to find stuff out about TokiMemo? Like throughout the LP's of both games you often mention how "most FAQS" will tell you to do X or Y or reload if Z etc, but I can't find any of these FAQ's and I'd quite like to because any information I've found is woefully incomplete. All I can find is generic guides for English speakers to help them navigate and no real specifics for individual routes. I couldn't even find Ayako's stat requirements when I was going through her route, which basically resulted in me raising everything to 130 just to be absolutely sure. Trying to raise Guts to 130 resulted in me somehow ending the game with 300+ in Sports, go figure. Whether it's in Japanese or not, I'd still like to know where you're finding this stuff since I'm considering trying Tatebayashi's route and I completely don't fancy trying to work out how to complete that one on my own.

This is unrelated to the current situation but I tried out the "Konamiman" code for Tokimemo 1, the one that sets all your stats to ludicrously high levels. It actually sets every stat including Stress(!) to 573, the "Konami number". Cute little touch so I felt like sharing.

So, interesting thing about bombs at least with regards to Tokimemo 1. They don't actually explode unless you continue to interact with girls who are not the bomber, you can sit around and pick your nose/sleep/study as long as you like and that bomb won't go off as long as you don't interact with other girls. That is the only explanation I can conceive of for how I've managed to cause this scenario where some of these bombs have been sitting around since the first year and I held this status right the way through to the end of the game:  Pardon the lovely cellphone shot, I'm playing the PSP version and can't screenshot it easily. But yeah, near as I can tell Tokimemo 2 doesn't seem to have changed the bomb system and knowing this means if you're pressed to remove a bomb, you can be sure in that if you ignore absolutely everyone but the bomber then you'll be fine. Also, what gives with the blank space? Pretty sure that's everyone.

Tarezax posted:Mahou (long "o" sound) is magic. Maho's name replaces the first character in Miho's name, which means "beautiful", for one that means "real" or "true". Note that I'm going by Chinese usage so it may be a bit off. Even if you're going off Chinese it still sounds about right to me and my admittedly poor Japanese. Together the characters in Maho make what I think means "full sail".

BlazeEmblem posted:He realized that there was something wrong, but never brought it up because there was no reason for him to believe that there being two of them was the explanation. To be honest I think that's probably a fair assessment of how any random person would be in real life. If something like that actually happened to you why would twins be the thing you jump to? Granted, Goon being totally unable to ask about it is just video games being video games but I digress in that I don't think it's that ridiculous that it could go unchallenged for so long. Also that ending was pretty drat lame, that whole route in general beyond how much of a gameplay clusterfuck it is was kind of bleh. Guess I've should've figured since all of TokiMemo 1's secret characters make for really boring playthroughs, Tokimemo 2 seems to be following that trend. Ah well, next route'll be more interesting and I'm still digging your hard work on the LP, sheep.

The problem is that I'm pretty sure she's not meant to be an antagonist.
