I'm just trying to wade my way through a fairly thick to -do list. Anyway, faq completion! FINALLY.

For those new to the TMGS series, welcome aboard! :3 Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side: 2nd Season is the fourth in a series of dating simulations games for girls produced by Konami. It's also the long - awaited sequel of the PS2 version - Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side: 2nd Kiss. 2nd Season, like the PS2 original, is seaside -themed. Definitely one of the unique aspects of this game. Hanegasaki High is located next to the beach, and you'll find that most of the events in this game (the legend backstory, the game art, etc) revolve around the ocean. You'll play as a girl starting her school days at Hanegasak i High, where you're thrust into a surprisingly varied dating pool. Konami has added two more "secret characters" into the mix to up the interest factor, and you'll find that this fantastic sequel holds many new quirks for exploration. The best part? It all takes place on a NDS, so you'll be able to poke/molest your dating prospects at your own leisure :) If you've played this game before (whether on a PS2 or NDS), you'll definitely want to try out 2nd Season. It's chock -full with lots of new CGs, extra scenes, extra love sequences, and of course, Skinship. And if you're new to this awesome series, you'll certainly enjoy it as well! It might take a few playthroughs to get you used to the gameplay, but it's worth it! XD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 2ND SEASON, THE PS2 ORIGINAL, AND 1ST LOVE [difr] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ Where to start? Here we go... ~ 2nd Season has expanded on where 2nd Kiss left off on Love Mode: You now get to walk home with a guy when a date has gone particularly well. Along the way, you'll get to poke at him to net you a number of skinship points (more on that in the Datin g section) ~ Skinship has evolved greatly from 1st Love. Instead of just poking with your stylus, you now get to use different methods of using it to have different interactions and trigger a separate set of reactions. Lovely :D ~ Unlike 2nd Kiss, checki ng in with Yuu no longer takes up an entire day. This definitely makes the whole bomb -defusing process a lot easier. ~ Bomb frequency also seems to have decreased significantly - you may find that certain characters don't bomb you once in a single game! ~ More endings have been added to the mix. Characters such as Saeki and Hariya can have as many as 5 endings each! ~ Skinship for event CGs is much less complex. You no longer have to worry (much) about bad skinship with the guys, as most of the CGs now don't have negative skinship points. (there are exceptions to this rule, however.) ~ Addition of more event CGs for most of the male characters. With more unlockable goodies, who can resist? ~ The love panel has also been edited slightly in 2nd Season! It's a lot easier to read now, as compared to 1st Love. (more on that in the Skinship section) ~ And best of all: All the dialogue gets voiced this time round. Even that of the random classmates/date disturbers/extra people involved in events. A definite improvement! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ STARTING THE GAME ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ //Basic Configuration// [cnfg] L button - Skip dialogue. Pre ss and hold when doing commands to speed things up. Up/Down/Left/Right on the D -pad - Proceed with dialogue Up/Down on the D -pad - Scroll up and down Most of 2nd Season is played via stylus, so you might not be using the buttons often. :) //In-game options// [optn] On the opening screen, the three options read: Start New Game Continue Game Options Covering Options first: ~ Text Display Speed [Normal/Fast/Immediate] ~ Command Progress Speed [Normal/Fast/Skip] ~ Sound [Voice/BGM/Sound Effects] ~ Restore Default Settings ~ Album ~ Endings ~ Return If you're starting a fresh game, the first thing you'll be asked for is your family name, followed by your given name. Next, fill in your birthday, then pick your blood type. The blood type you pick will affect your horoscope reading on the internet. Choose a room for yourself. Unlike TMGS: 1st Love, the room you pick does NOT affect your starting parameters (more on that later). It just determines which girl you'll meet on your first day. The rooms appear in this order: ~ Onoda Chiyomi (the studious one) ~ Mizushima Hisoka (the feminine one) ~ Nishimoto Haruhi (the cheerful one) ~ Todou Tatsuko (the sporty one) Following this, you'll be asked to set up your EVS (Emotional Voice System). It's basica lly how the male characters will say your name in -game. The main gripe I have about the EVS is that it hasn't really improved much from 1st Love - most of the longer name combinations will still be drastically shortened. Awkward name sequences don't regis ter either :( (Definitely where the PS2 version wins out! You could have really weird names like Ohohohoho -san and the guys would still say it with a straight face XD ) //Preset Events// [prst] (in order of occurrence) The Legend of the Mermaid ³Why are you crying? Hey, are you a mermaid?´ And so, the youth and the maiden who met on the shore fell in love. The maiden watched the calm sea, her eyes expressing what she wished to say in words. She was a mermaid after all, and had lost her abilit y to speak after she took on the form of a human« Heartless villagers expressed their hatred in violence towards this mermaid maiden, so she

  • Romantic Love and Narrative Form in Japanese Visual Novels and Romance Adventure Games
    arts Article From Novels to Video Games: Romantic Love and Narrative Form in Japanese Visual Novels and Romance Adventure Games Kumiko Saito Department of Languages, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Video games are powerful narrative media that continue to evolve. Romance games in Japan, which began as text-based adventure games and are today known as bishojo¯ games and otome games, form a powerful textual corpus for literary and media studies. They adopt conventional literary narrative strategies and explore new narrative forms formulated by an interface with computer- generated texts and audiovisual fetishism, thereby challenging the assumptions about the modern textual values of storytelling. The article first examines differences between visual novels that feature female characters for a male audience and romance adventure games that feature male characters for a female audience. Through the comparison, the article investigates how notions of romantic love and relationship have transformed from the modern identity politics based on freedom and the autonomous self to the decentered model of mediation and interaction in the contemporary era. Keywords: Japanese video games; visual novels; bishojo¯ games; otome games; romance simulation; literature; romance; narrative form; modernity; postmodernity Citation: Saito, Kumiko. 2021.

  • Growing the Otome Game Market: Fan Labor and Otome Game Communities Online
    ISSN: 1795-6889 www.humantechnology.jyu.fi 15(3), November 2019, 347–366 GROWING THE OTOME GAME MARKET: FAN LABOR AND OTOME GAME COMMUNITIES ONLINE Sarah Christina Ganzon Concordia University Montreal, Canada Abstract: Otome games are a niche category of Japanese games marketed toward women. Outside its country of origin and the infrastructure of the anime media mix, its predominantly female player communities traditionally have defined these games as those that feature romance or dating simulation. In this paper, I look into how fan bloggers talk about their own work in marketing and distributing otome games beyond Japan. In the case of otome game fan blogging, the ability to shape discussions surrounding otome games also relies upon maintaining the image of players as good consumers. Although this work focuses on the practice of fan blogging, it is part of an ongoing study on otome games in English and otome game players outside Japan. Keywords: otome games, postfeminism, women and games, fan blogging, Japanese games. ©2019 Sarah Christina Ganzon and the Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä DOI: https://doi.org/10.17011/ht/urn.201911265024 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License. 347 Ganzon INTRODUCTION Otome games are a niche category of games typically featuring topics related to romance and dating simulations that originated in Japan and are marketed specifically to women. Given its niche status and the very minimal commercial distribution of otome game titles, especially due to the lack of the media infrastructure that otome games have in their country of origin via the anime media mix (Steinberg, 2012), the distribution of otome games beyond Japan relies on its small but dedicated networked, predominantly female fanbase—calling themselves the Otome Armada—to promote existing localized titles via blogs, forums, and social networking sites.

  • Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side: Enacting Femininity to Avoid Dying Alone
    Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side: Enacting femininity to avoid dying alone Tina Richards ABSTRACT This paper examines the Japanese dating simulator video game, Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side, the first female protagonist version in the Tokimeki Memorial series. Analysis of the game mechanics, characterisations, player options and their results demonstrate that the game assumes and reinforces a range of cultural norms and social expectations in relation to gender performativity, courting and dating, relationships and intimacy. I discuss how the gameplay actively produces particular heteronormative perspectives on how girls and young women should enact femininity if they are to avoid being alone at the end of the game, and, for that matter, in life. Keywords Dating Sim, Tokimeki Memorial, Otome, Gender, Techno-intimacy, video games INTRODUCTION In the ever-growing globalised market for video games, those produced for particular cultures and language groups are increasingly finding international audiences as internet sales and greater opportunities to travel provide access to games initially conceived and promoted as regionally exclusive. Games can become popular regardless of apparent limitations of language and culture. For example, with roughly 19% of the Australian population considered bilingual (Griffith 2014) and over 1.4 million students undertaking second language learning (Lo Bianco 2009), a considerable 101 102 ToDIGRA proportion of Australians can readily consume cultural product from non-Anglo sources. In any case, widespread familiarity with genre conventions among gamers means that even players who do not share a game’s language can nevertheless engage in an enjoyable level of play. Further, in the context of globalised fandom, an appetite for Japanese popular culture means that video games popular in Japan are attractive to Australian players, even when untranslated.
