Q:You wouldn't happen to have any suggestions on how to go about translating UtaPri games? I can understand some Japanese but when it comes to kanji I get lost, thought asking a fellow fan-girl would be wise

Well, since they’re on PSP, if there’s a lot of words you don’t know I’m afraid probably all you can really do is play with a dictionary at your side D:  For PC games there’s software like ITH but on consoles you’re out of luck for stuff like that.  If you’re playing at your computer, you have your choice of a lot of good dictionary sites and programs — personally I like Goo dictionary (use 和英 for Japanese to English), Weblio, and for looking up unknown kanji by their radicals the JWPce word processor is great.

Do any of my followers possibly have other suggestions for our friend here?  I’m afraid I don’t really have any tips/do anything special, I speak enough Japanese that when I play otoge I just read :|a

I guess if anything, I would say don’t feel like you have to get every line perfect.  Sometimes I encounter lines where I vaguely remember what a kanji word means but not how it’s pronounced, and in that case I don’t bother looking it up since I can still basically understand the sentence, I just keep going.

otome-jikan: Nise no Chigiri, a PSP otome game released by Otomate in August of 2010, is being ported to the PC. This PC version will be released June 21, 2013 and is currently available for purchase through Amazon.co.jp and Amiami. This port is being handled by Petit Noir and more information can be found on the Nise no Chigiri PC website. Holy shit what?  PC to PSP ports are common enough but PSP to PC…???? This wasn’t even a particularly popular game as far as I know… This is just really weird.  Very cool though.  I’ve never played this, I’d totally be interested in picking up the PC version.

This is just really weird.  Very cool though.  I’ve never played this, I’d totally be interested in picking up the PC version.

Personally, I always ship the heroine with at least one guy in every otome game.

I also almost always ship at least one guy with another guy in every otome game.

I also almost always ship at least one non-heroine girl with another guy in every otome game.

I sometimes ship the heroine with a non-heroine girl in otome games.

I don’t think I’m wrong for liking any of these things.

I don’t think you’re wrong if you dislike any of these things.

What’s so hard about “live and let live”, people?  And why should anyone have to choose a side?  That’s just silly.

Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi

I keep seeing a lot of misinformation pass over my dash regarding this upcoming release, I guess it’s probably a combination of people getting their hopes up and Aksys’s press release being very vague… but I just thought I’d mention to clear things up:

This 3DS release is a port of the original game.

It does not include Zuisouroku.

Zuisouroku is not “six original stories”, it’s a full length game (there’s a lot more than six chapters I can tell you).  The six stories referred to are literally that: short text stories (no illustrations), one for each main guy.  Collectively they’re titled Senyuu Emaki; they were also originally in the Japanese PSP version of Demon of the Fleeting Blossom, Aksys just chose not to translate them at that time.

So to sum up, the new content in the 3DS port consists of one short story for each guy + the photo booth function.  The only Hakuouki game in the series that’s already been ported to 3DS is the first one, so it’s unlikely we’ll see Zuisouroku on 3DS in English (since Aksys would have to pay Otomate to do it from scratch).  If we ever get Zuisouroku or Reimeiroku they’ll most likely be the PSP versions.  Maybe PS3 if we’re lucky?

I'm too lazy to screenshot this

  • Emily: Everyone's getting paranoid that the murderer might be lurking somewhere close to them... I guess I can't blame them.
  • Pendleton: Well then, you know what I'm going to say next, don't you, young mistress?
  • Emily: Of course I do, Pendleton. You're going to tell me 'even if you travel back and forth from the academy by carriage, make sure to be careful', right?
  • Pendleton: No.
  • Emily: ...Then maybe 'Don't worry me, make sure to come home early!' ...?
  • Pendleton: That's not it either.
  • Emily: In that case... 'I'm the culprit! I'm going to go turn myself in now!'
  • Pendleton: Young mistress, what a silly joke.
  • Pendleton: As if I would just turn myself in so easily.
