Ieyasu dies peacefully at home in the end. MC is not mentioned, so I'm kind of curious about what happened. (Also disappointed that we don't get more of Ieyasu's kid. We don't even know what his name is.)

And then MC and Ieyasu party with the ones who died earlier in the afterlife. 💀

Well, I suppose because the other lords already dealt with war stuff, they wanted to make this a different one, but I’m very displeased that it ended with Ieyasu saying “Let me broker you a connection with Nobunaga”. I’m already fed up with the attitude of treating Ieyasu like he’s just another one of Nobunaga’s vassals that has to align everything he does to the Oda.

The story is a mess, because there’s no reason for Ujizane to threaten Ieyasu with alliance to the Hojo. The Imagawa has always had alliance with the Hojo. Sure, maybe there is a need for the Imagawa to re-affirm their alliance now than Yoshimoto is dead, but it’s not really something to flaunt to the Tokugawa.

Also, Ieyasu was the aggressor in some of their encounters. After Shingen broke his alliance with Imagawa, Ieyasu took this opportunity to join arms with Shingen and attack Imagawa territories. It would’ve fit with Ieyasu’s vicious personality in the game to have him enacting revenge on Imagawa in this way, but I don’t know, the writer just chose to depict Ieyasu as still being somewhat traumatised by Yoshimoto I guess?

Eventually, due to conflict with Shingen, Ieyasu agreed to sign a three-way pact with the Hojo and Ujizane in 1569, and I must emphasise that Nobunaga is not involved. This was a disadvantageous pact, and Ujizane’s position was seen as something more like a surrender, with Hojo and Tokugawa being the dominant ones.

I’m sorry for the very ungenerous tone here, but I’ve said that I no longer have patience for this, and I’m irate. Ieyasu is not some poor helpless lord constantly dependant on and/or dragged around by the Oda. He had shaky beginnings, but he made it through and stabilised his rule as lord of Mikawa without Nobunaga holding his hand through it all.

If they really want this poison plot to happen, it could’ve been written to take place when they were signing the treaty. Ujizane could aim to nab both Ieyasu and Hojo (which would probably be Ujiyasu in SLBP universe) at once, and either both dies or Ujiyasu’s sinister fortune telling saved him from the poison and only Ieyasu died. Ieyasu does not need to be involved with whatever deal Ujizane later had with Nobunaga.

Also, this Ujizane portrayal is, well... another one of those cases where I really want to ask “But why, though?”. I suppose they just wanted to follow along the lines of Yoshimoto, who had been very sinister. Ujizane is however mostly known for artistic sense and kemari (a kick ball game for aristocrats). The somewhat dainty Yoshimoto portrayals in other media, such as the older Samurai Warriors titles (before SW5) and Ikemen Sengoku, are actually based on Ujizane rather than Yoshimoto himself.

@annicaax : yeah lol. Right but even so... Man I want more other era otomes. Mainly Meiji and Taisho era ones😅 I wish slbp has arc that includes the shogunate and all the chaos.

Er, what do you mean by “shogunate chaos”? People don’t usually associate the Tokugawa shogunate with chaos. It’s the Sengoku (SLBP/Ikesen) that’s the chaos, because the shogun has no power, so there is chaos. Nobody cares about the shogun. He’s there, but considered worthless. Don’t know if you ever saw him, but Yoshiaki is also around in SLBP. 

If the Yoshiaki thing is what you mean, then yeah, I agree. The court politics has potential to be interesting, but Ikesen and SLBP only mostly wants to deal with wars and conspiracy and not the courtly stuff, bleh.

But, you can’t have a Tokugawa shogunate plot in SLBP because Ieyasu only became the shogun after Hideyoshi and Nobunaga are dead. You see a little bit of it in Ieyasu sequel, but don’t really expect much more. Not unless SLBP launches a “sequel game” set in the Edo era. 

Feels like the reason why there’s not that many otome set in the Edo it seems like it’s because it has the image of “nothing cool happens” (it’s called the peaceful era for a reason). That’s why most “Edo-ish” games are set in the Bakumatsu, which is the fall of the shogunate. Not during the height of its power. That, or something set in the Yoshiwara red light district.

Best you can do with the Edo era is vigilante stuff, I guess. There used to be some otome about this by Arithmetic and Solmare, with vigilante ninjas cleaning up the corrupt stuff that happens in Edo and whatnot, but the mobile games all died.

For Voltage games Ayakashi Romance Reborn is Meiji. Roses in the Embers is Taishou. For non-Voltage, there is a Taishou era console game called Butterfly's Poison; Blood Chains. Not sure if it has any other ports outside of Switch.  There is also an upcoming English translation of the Otomate game Kimiyuki, English title Winter's Wish: Spirits of Edo.

I started Ieyasu's Act 2. Toramatsu is Naomasa now!

I wish they let us meet Naotora(assuming she is alive and wouldn't have a very early death that she doesn't deserve) in an ES or something. I'd love to see MC's reaction to a female daimyou.
