I don't think Aksys sent Period Cube automatically, just for those that sent them a request (still waiting for mine). As for Hakuoki, you might have to sent IFI a message, as I did get that one without asking.
I'm quietly taking it as a sign that it just wasn't meant to be.
Otome games shouldn't fool you, you gotta take action and don't wait for the perfect man to show up at your door!
Code: Realize ~Bouquet of Flowers~ official page is open.
Playing Hakuoki Kyoto Winds, it's weird. It's not the complete Hakuoki experience, which makes the endings feel like cliffhangers, but at the same time, since it's just half the game, it doesn't feel like a chore to do all the routes.
I wonder when the second part is coming out.
I wonder when the second part is coming out.
Aaaah the psychedelica series is sooo gooood. Its like the best otome series I've played. It took me 2 years to finally play the first one and finished the second one about a month ago. They really focus on story (still a good amount of romance IMO) and have a great set of characters. Both games have voiced heroines too. Haitaka's heroine was soooo great; strong, kickass, and amazing. After playing Kokuchou, seeing the connections in the sequel, Haitaka, was such a treat. Although what I really find interesting about the series is
that not everyone gets a happy end
I've heard nothing but great things about both games and they're the two otome games I want to see localized the most. But, the chances of us getting them...are probably low. I'm not even sure Aksys will announce more otome games at AX. And, if they do, it'll probably be Hakuoki SSL, Kenka Bancho Otome or something similar.
Fans were speculating that XSEED are licensing KBO since they did talk about licensing an otome game a few weeks back, and I can see IFI doing SSL since it's Hakuoki.
Agreed. If XSEED is doing Otome, it's either KBO or English Detective Mysteria, and if anyone is doing any Hakuoki title in the future, it's IFI.
Stranger things have happened.
Yeah, I can't see it happening this year with CxM, BAW and C:R FD still yet to be released. But, I do hope somehow the series gets recognized. Its definitely a series that would receive good reception here and its agonizing not being able to gush about the games with many others lol.
Side Kicks! Is also a pretty interesting detective/police otome that takes place in a fictional city in California. Idk if any company would localize it (its developed by a pretty underrated company) but I enjoyed it.
I'll surely get the free theme, it's a shame about the second part.

12 paid themes?! 12!?
Motherfuck... Otomate, for the love of God call me for your themes. I'd die to get to do Hakuoki themes. T3T
Sucks about part 2 next year too... but fingers crossed that somehow turns out to be not true.

Is Hakuoki just a re-release of the PSP games remastered for Vita? All these releases are as confusing as the random Corpse Party releases that come out every year. lol
It has 6 new routes, includes the fandisc and Kazama's route has been expanded. However, the game has been split into two parts and this is only the first one.
Otome?
Heh, sorry. Not the right thread! I'll amend that. (Just had visions of a Fata otome game, terrible, terrible thoughts ensued.)
Here are some pictures I took of what I got from the Hakuoki Festival. It was really nice seeing so many Hakuoki fans together. Hopefully if IFI does this again, they book a bigger space and more than one photo booth.
Nice! Thanks for sharing those~
Yes, I was excited to see so many other fans! I thought it might just be the people who bought the $60 tickets plus a few people with the $15 tickets, but it was way more than that.

Thanks for sharing, UGHHHH SO JEALOUS ;3; Glad to see so much support for the series!
Has anyone here played Magical Otoge Ciel? It's a free otome on Steam; I'm only on my first route, but it's really cute so far! It's very light-hearted, and the writing's really solid. The heroine's pretty fearless, and the humor (for me, at least) has been pretty spot on.

Will this come to PC eventually?
It's a possibility, but IFI hasn't announced anything.

Oooooh boy. This whole thing has been a crazy train ride, wonder if they'll actually release something tomorrow.

Will the release tomorrow be on Steam? Did they do any QA on the thing? Price?
So many questions.
Watch it not be on Steam and with no Japanese VA.

And Spanish translation only.
Well they did show like...two? English screenshots.
Less than 23 hours until we find out!
They haven't even bothered in updating the site. I expect the translation to be bad and it's a shame because the game is very good...
Well, guess not everything is sunny in E2Gaming land:

Now I'm even more curious how this will turn out.

It is the same person that tried to do Beastmaster, right?
Actually, I think that one was the publisher of the Hakuoki and Amnesia mobile ports, so E2 is even more shady.
Yeah, that was Glocuz or whatever they were called. Heard they went bankrupt soon after their failed KS.
No surprise there (please learn western business a little more...) I'm still hoping that someone else picks it up one day. Never heard of it, but I would love to play it localized.
I didn't know that. Looking at the Hakuoki and Amnesia mobile releases, it's seems to be published by a different company now.
It's an Otomate title with a mobile port, so Solmare could license it since they have various other Otomate titles. Otherwise, there are other titles I would like more.
Hahahaha.
No Steam release, $30 for the first volume only (there's four in total) AND English voices only. Oh and the menus haven't been translated.
DDD
"We only translate part way and still charge a full game amount!" No surprise here!
Hahahaha.

Why do japanese companies trust these bozos?
No idea. I'm getting tired of shittyass companies trying to bring otome games over.
Although, I am morbidly curious about the English VA. It'll probably be a disaster. Hopefully someone records it.

Well they exceeded my expectations by actually releasing something, but there's no way I'm buying it with that many issues. Interested in seeing if the localization is competent, though.
