I appreciate the balls you have work on and release this game. Preordered.
R_thanatos said:So no details on the content of the limited edition ? and no website ?
cj_iwakura said:What does the LE include?
Gunloc said:Awesome, visual novels FTW! The LE box art is hot. (Who is that?)
Will be purchasing for sure.
Rarutos said:Definitely going to get it! Especially since it comes out a few days after my birthday. I don't have an excuse to not get it!

I
What
Hmmmm
I'll look into this. It certainly seems unique and I love visual novel stuff. Plus, I've gotta support the ballsy move for localizing this. I'm sure I'll enjoy it
I think my friend would totally like this, too. Too bad she doesn't have a PSP =/ Maybe I'll lend it to her if and when I buy it.
EDIT: I hope this does well and that there's enough straight guys that enjoy it, too.
I'm the same way. I can't get enough of the Shinsengumi.Lissar said:Not into these kind of games (otome) but the Siren song of Shinsengumi compels me to order the LE (well, tentatively. I'm just hoping there will be stuff I actually want in the LE.)
Dedication Through Light said:Ah the week before the Vita, this may be the first PSN game I get to play on the system.
Aksys should try to pick up Uta no Prince-Sama next

Luminate said:Not the demographic, but I fully support VNs in western territories. Especially if it means more of them to come in the future...like Kyoukugen Dasshutsu ADV: Zennin Shiboudesu.
*wink wink nudge*
Solune said:Just wondering Akselziys, will either version be seeing some pre-order bonus like with Fate/Extra? Also in the OP, the LE link and SE links for Amazon.ca are reversed .
Please don't listen to him =[Akselziys said:Awesome first PSN choice for your brand new VITA
And thanks for the suggestion on Uta no Prince-Sama!
Muscular pec mouse pad or bust.aggro crag said:My friend and I are having a good time thinking of potential packaged Limited Edition goodies. All along the lines of Aragest War creeper status.

R_thanatos said:i have a question .
Does the story of this game follow the timeline of the anime ?
You're teasing us by putting Shinpachi on the front page with the rest of the guys.Akselziys said:
I like the art.Akselziys said:
Ra1den said:uwaaaaaaaaa~
jling84 said:Just wondering, any chance a straight guy who is into games like 999, Phoenix Wright, Policenauts and the like would be into this game?
There should be some of that in the fankit...Dark Schala said:I like the art.
Need art of Souji Okita and Hajime Saito soon, lol.
lol, I just checked my email and saw it in my inbox. Okita's one of the guys I'm going for.Akselziys said:November Man of the Month issue!
11/14/2011 - Souji Okita featured in Tumbling Pebbles!
http://li.brari.us/motmnov
OP updated as well
I knew I liked him for a reason.So we shoot the shit, drink some sake, then shoot some more shit. We start getting pretty loud, and a quiet man in the corner of the room with a book--Hajime Saito, maybe?--gives me a cool look. I shut up, and realize that maybe it's time to get down to business. I pull out my notepad and Souji rolls his eyes.
"Really, Kyuuyuu?"
"Hey, not all of us can go around slicing people up for a living, you know."
...
"All right, how about you tell me about what happened at the Ikeda Inn?"
"I killed some guys, we won. Good? All right, next question."
Ah, thanks.Belisarius said:There should be some of that in the fankit...
Rofl you really did that on purpose ...February 14, 2012!
Belisarius said:I'd stay away, if I were you. It's already turned one of our testers into the cowboy from the Village People, and another one writes up bug reports that are nothing but quotes from Cher songs.
In all seriousness, if you're concerned about the game being 100% Hot'n'sweaty Man-Lovin', you needn't be. The romance aspect takes a backseat for most of the game, which focuses primarily on the actions of the men of the Shinsengumi and not on Chizuru's burgeoning feelings for them and their rippling, rock-hard abdomens. I'd say it's probably 80% quasi-historical drama, 20% romance and kissy-face. If you like reading and pressing buttons (and it looks like you do!) then I'd say there's a pretty good chance you'd be into Hakuoki.

"darling do you know what day it is ?
- of course it' the day hakuouki is released ! See ya darling !"
Dark Schala said:I have to wonder if the writing style in the "articles" is consistent with the writing style in the game. Or is this something you guys are having fun with? Either way, it doesn't matter to me; the more personality, the better.
Boyfriends around the world will be unhappy with you.Akselziys said:Well, what other day would it be? XD *feigns innocence*
Awesome, hope you enjoy it.jling84 said:Hahah nice response. Thanks, you've sold me on the game! Definitely preordering this to support more of this kind of risk-taking when it comes to localizing games.
Sklorenz said:Wow, this sounds great. I hadn't heard about this game until today. I don't my have my PSP anymore though. Any chance I'll be able to download this? :/ My fiance and I both love visual novel games. I know she'd particularly love to be able to play a game that sexualizes men even just a little.
Dark Schala said:Boyfriends around the world will be unhappy with you.
(My bf and I aren't doing anything for Valentine's Day until we both get time off the next week anyway.)
Akselziys said:Yeah, this will be available for both UMD and PSN
UMD will also have Standard and Limited editions ;D
Sklorenz said:Awesome! I wasn't sure if more niche games like this were showing up on PSN (haven't really been following it). I'll be there a week after launch then!
I think they're written very well, and I suppose it gives me some insight as to how some of the character dialogue will be written in the game (and I like it so far)... which I suppose is the point of them.Belisarius said:Yes and no. I have written (and will presumably continue to write) the articles, and I was the editor on the game, so to some extent the characterizations you see in the articles are the same as what you'll see in the game. On the other hand, with each article I've tried (with varying degrees of success) to ape the "style" of the magazine we're parodying. Generally the character speech in the articles is pretty close to how they talk in the game: Okita, Harada, and Heisuke speak in a pretty contemporary way, with slang, etc. Hijikata is gruff and short, Saito is formal and serious, and Kazama is a well-spoken sneering smartass.
Maybe my bf and I can play it together! Forget going to dinner or out for coffee. Or we can play it together while we're on our coffee date. :OAkselziys said:Haha, I jest~ I'm actually quite the hopeless romantic <3
It's more otome than yaoi.And if i'm not wrong a large portion of the game doesn't deal with "that" aspect at all.Kyon said:OMG IS THIS A YAOI/OTOME GAME? O______O
*Pre ordered*
Otome: Yes.Kyon said:OMG IS THIS A YAOI/OTOME GAME? O______O

You probably can't answer, but I feel like I should ask - do you know of a UMD to PSN plan for US PSP games?Akselziys said:Yeah, this will be available for both UMD and PSN
