How did you buy your vita I want to get one to play otome games

I bought mine on Amazon when they were still in production. Now, it's only resale, but it's still on Amazon.

I don't know if I'd recommend it 100%. I'm not about modding or jailbreaking mine. If it's only for playing Otome games, go to mobile, Steam, or Switch. There are very few popular Vita-only games now. If you have $200-300 to spend, go for it. But if you want English games, don't.

If you want to play Japanese games, maybe, but nothing works on the Vita anymore: email,web, chat, and the PlayStation store. The content manager is partially broken, too, so there's no chance of getting your CGS off the Vita.

Have you ever played ikemen series

Nope. I gave up on gacha a long time ago, and I don't like mobile games very much.

why is subaru so low on your ranking hes the best boy

He just never spoke to me. In the anime, he was okay, and I thought he would be different, but then he just bit Yui… I haven't played the game or read his manga, so it may change. However, I find the characters of the triplets (mostly Ayato and Kanato) the most intriguing, and Shu is the sweetest of all of them. I don't dislike Subaru at all, though, and I do plan to play his route!

ever heard of emulators

Next time Refer to my FAQ or Blog Rules before sending in an ask

Yeah, and it's a 50/50 toss-up if they work. Playing the game on the designated platform is the safest way to play and the best way to support the developers.

Suppose you're talking about Diabolik lovers, if it worked for you, great. However, my FAQ states that I only support the legal and designated way to play games. And I'll never encourage people to download something that may or may not work to play a game, rather than give them the best way to understand the story and characters without having actually to play the game if they can't

Otome Games that everyone says are bad that I still want and why

Ozmafia!!!:

What can I say? I'm a sucker for a Wizard of Oz-themed game. The premise is super cool Wizard of Oz meets mafia meets Brothers Grimm fairy tales, with Satoi as the artist. What could go wrong?

Well, apparently everything. The general consensus is that the game sucks. The MC has no personality, and thanks to the NTR routes, she cheats on the love interests way too easily. Most of the heroes don’t fully love the MC or it’s unclear if they do. The plot is thin, and the brothel route is traumatizing.

So why would I still want to play it? Remember all that cool stuff I mentioned earlier? Yeah, that still holds true. Ozmafia was one of the first real otome games I ever heard about, and you can't imagine how frustrated I was to find out it couldn’t be played on Mac. I also never got around to importing it on PS Vita, but thanks to the virtual Nintendo eShop, I finally plan to pick it up. I'm not a big fan of completing every single route, so I’ll just do the ones and endings I like. (Doing this with trash games minimizes the pain.)

Chouchou Jiken: Lovesodic:

Okay, so this one apparently has a manga? I tried to find it but only got a few chapters, and honestly, I'm still kind of confused about the plot. Pretty privilege is real, because the art and atmosphere are just so enticing.

I’ve heard the only good route is Haruka’s, and they totally gave the poster boy the most boring, unromantic route of all (except for Lori but his is just creepy). I want to play it because the zombie concept sounds interesting and it’s supposed to be plot-heavy. I think I’ve mentioned before that plot holes between routes don’t bother me too much unless they’re super extreme and make no sense. So I’ll give it a shot, especially since I already own the game (time to put my Vita to use :)).

I plan to translate this game anyway (check out my translation schedule!). And since most of the guys are trash anyway, I want to see for myself just how bad it is, lol. Unfortunately, it has locked routes, so I’ll most likely have to play through all the characters but that’s what skip mode is for.

Reine des Fleurs:

The art.

Okay, on a more serious note this game has 40 bad endings. Why would they do that? Especially since most of the bad ends are just slight variations of each other. Honestly, when I read the reviews, it didn’t seem that bad. The only ones who seemed straight-up stupid were the blond dude and the guy with the monocle. Herbert? Whatever his name is.

The plot confused me a lot, especially the whole goddess aspect. I still can't tell if she wants to help the MC, stop her, or just wait to take over her body. Unless I have to, there is NO WAY I’m completing all the bad ends I value my sanity. But I do still want to play it through.

The system gets a lot of complaints, so I’m hoping I can find a good walkthrough and just skip through the annoying parts.

Diabolik Lovers: More Blood:

Last but not least, the game that makes almost everyone cry. This one is supposed to be awful, and Rejet basically had to spend all of Dark Fate fixing the damage done by this game. The guys crank up the abuse to like, 100,000, and just straight-up torment Yui.

Unfortunately, this also introduces the Adam and Eve plotline and the Mukami brothers. And unlike HDB, Dark Fate picks up directly after More Blood, based on the vampire endings (minus a few). It also establishes a ton of relationships that are important for the rest of the series even if 80% of each route is just pure abuse.

Still, I can’t bring myself to skip it. I might not play every route, but I at least need to do Shu, Ayato, and Azusa. And before y’all come for me I got the Switch Grand Edition 2 for the price of one, okay? ;) If I need to, I’ll just skip most of it, because even in the anime, the Mukamis never entertained me the way the Sakamakis did. I kept thinking, bring me back to the Sakamaki house. I can't even remember who the villains are in More Blood... I think it’s just the other characters?

But I have to at least try. (The skip button will probably be overused by the end.)

Wait is there any way to play diabolik lovers I want to know the stories

The games are on ps vita and Switch, with most of them being ported to Switch, and one Switch exclusive. They can be found on Nintendo eShop. Amazon, play Asia, onemap, Cdjapan

If you can't read Japanese. The best bet is to watch the anime to get the general context. Then, the games, mostly HDB, have video playthroughs on YouTube. There's also a manga that goes through the HDB and More Blood routes, two parts per guy. But some of these guys are missing (Kanato, Kou, Azusa). TBH, I think the manga is more romantic in the Ayatos route than the game, and Yui has a lot of personality in it!(edit: she also has a lot of personality in the games but personally manga yui is my favorite) Then, the wiki has a lot of backstories for the guys and the stories. Finally blogs have posted recaps and reviews on the games so read those.

It's not the same as playing the game, but it gets you all the info for the games. Tbh, the game tends to drag a bit in the intro sections, and so many guys find the information on the few you want, and you'll be fine

[vespertinusidiot]

why wont you translate all in one piece why are you splitting up the chapters

i usually queue my questions to have even positing but i decided to answer this in the nicest way. I translate for free. It takes a long time. I have to play the game and basically write down every single line and who said it. then i go through and make sure its as smooth translation as possible. I get tired. I dont want to do it all at once. But i also want to get translations out as fast as possible. spending a few hours/days at a time getting a translation ready vs. spending a full week of my time. I can get the shorter translations out faster to you and not get so burnt out. Most of the people reading the translations wont play the full game themselves because they wouldn't need a translation if they could play it. if you're trying to learn japanese and need to use translations why not start on a game thats been fully translated already or has easier japanese. translation projects take years to do. Im trying to get as much done as possible.

[vespertinusidiot]

Do you think Diabolik Lovers will come out in English?

No. Rejet is very anti localization.

[vespertinusidiot]

Something I really hate with otome games is a complicated system. The game is mostly reading why make it confusing… when the walkthrough is confusing that's when I know its time to drop it

[vespertinusidiot]

This is my first ranking based on the anime. I went into the games with knowledge of what kind of thing happens.

This is also based on how interested I am in playing their routes

1. Shu

2. Kanato

3. Ayato

4. Laito

5. Subaru

6. Reiji

[vespertinusidiot]

Will you translate wand of fortune I wanted to play it so bad but it's not in English anymore

OMG NO 😣😣😣

honesty the system for that game is actually nauseating. I'm already not looking forward to Brocon

Also that green haired guy is the biggest TROLL liar.

Everyone hates on otome love interests but omg that guy is one of the worst... it would be nice (spoilers) if he actually loved the heroine but by the end of his route he barely likes her not even in the fandisk. it takes TWO games for him to like her and he still isn't willing to settle down with her. I cannot put myself through that while playing Dialovers

[vespertinusidiot]

I still haven't been playing but my Cupid parasite package got lost :(((((

[vespertinusidiot]

I want to replay amnesia. Should I grab it?!!

[vespertinusidiot]
