Tales of Heart Article

Tales of Heart


Finally the next Tales Games for NDS after Tales of Innocence!! Damn, they let me down after Tales of Shymphonia - Knight of Ratatosk released for Wii. I don't have Wii DAMNIT!! Oh well.

Intro

Tales of Heart's story tell us about Souma user. Souma user has their custom weapon, and upgradeable. They can do "Spir Link", which is almost the same like "Dive" in Ar Tonelico 2. But not just woman, in Tales of Heart, we can do Spir Link to all people, on certain circumstance. For example, a crazy man can be cured by Souma User after doing Spir Link and kills whatever thing in the victim's mind. And there is some legend in this world about "Ibara no Hime" or "Nemuri no Hime (Sleeping Princess)".

Story

There is 2 people being chased till they stopped at a cliff. A woman magician who chase them released her magic, and the 2 people desperately jump to the sea.

In a small town, a man named Shing Meteoryte is doing sword training with his gramps, Zex as a Souma User. Zex is a famous Souma User. A lot of people looking for him to cure their problem. Until supper time is came. Someone came and looking for Zex for help. Zince agrees and leaving Shing behind. Shing who angry at his gramps, going to the sea. There, he found 2 bodies lying in the sand.

Knowing one of them is women, Shing instantly do CPR for her. Too bad, she awake and hit Shing with her fist. The girl scream and the man beside her awake. For some mistake, the man starting to hit Shing again and again. After some time, both of them are searching for Zex. Shing who told them that he is his grandson, make them feel safe and starts to introducing themselves. The women is Kohak Heart, and the man is Hisui Heart, Kohak's brother.

Boring to wait Zex, Hisui ask Shing to guide them to sealed tomb in the town's cliff. In there, Kohak easily open the tomb and get a Souma Weapon, a memento from Shing's Mother. Suddenly, the magician who chase Kohak and Hisui came and attack Kohak's off guard. Kohak fall, and Shing started to attack her. Not so fast, Shing lose. Before magician's last attack hit Shing, Zex who came rushing protect Shing. Shing who shocked in that event, end in berserk and defeat the magician. Both Zex and Kohak who unconsious and hurt carried to Zex's house.

Kohak who cannot regen and regain his mind, make Shing panic. Finally, Shing bravely do "Spir Link" to make Kohak calm. In the "Spir Rune" of Kohak, Shing meet with Lychia, the one who has "Emerald no Kami" or Emerald Hair. After some talks, a monster came and made Shing berserk again. Finally, Shing destroy Kohak's "Spir Rune" to pieces and scattered to all over the world. "Spir Rune" is person's personality and mind. If destroyed, that person became like a doll, who almost cannot talk. In that time too, Zex died after embracing Shing to make up his responsibility after breaking Kohak's Spir Rune. And this is how the story starts.

System

We can do "Spir Link" to everyone as long as that person has a sleeping green bag in his.

sleeping_bag_icon.jpg (32 KB)

After doing that, we enter the dungeon named "Spir Maze". There is time-limit if you enter, named Link Counter. Normally, after 2 step, time decrease by 1. There is some bag which is Time Gain, but some of it also Time Lose. It's Game Over if the time reach 0, so beware. Our goal is "Link Point". We will continue to next area after entering it. Just continue untill you reach "Spir Rune".

sphere_dungeon_link_and_pointa.jpg (19 KB)

1. Link Point.
2. Link Counter
3. Spir Maze

More importantly, only Souma User who can do "Spir Link". And all your party member will become available after become Souma User. In other words, only Souma User who can fight. Don't worry. They will have their Souma Weapon very soon, while some of it already have 1. Souma Weapon is unique. Almost the same like Dymlos in Tales of Destiny. You can do "Reraise" like Tales of Destiny - Director's Cut too, but here is named "Souma Evolve". Except, you can only "Reraise" your Souma Weapon, not your equipment.

reraise.jpg (49 KB)

And notes, there is no Armor in Tales of Heart. You can only buy Accessories and item. So, to upgrade your status, there is only two way. Level up, or upgrade skill.

Every time you upgrading your weapon, there will be some skill available in your status and you can upgrade using "Souma Build" window. There is 4 type of skills.

skill_1.jpg (47 KB) skill_2.jpg (47 KB)

1. Status Skill/Parameter Skill. Hand Icon.
You can upgrade max HP, max EG, ATK, DEF, etc in some point.

2. Ability Skill. Shoes Icon.
For example like Magic Guard, Rear Guard and etc. Just like AD skill in Tales of the Abyss.

3. Support Skill. Pentagram Icon.
Support skill like Guts, Gain, Poison Attack, and etc. Just like Slot Skill for the Swordian in Tales of Destiny - Director's Cut.

4. Battle Skill. Purple Magic Icon.
Full of Artes and Magic.

But, we cannot upgrade so easily. You need some material for it. Some material can be found in item box, in the road, dropped by monster, or bought in town. This material can be used for make accessories in town if you prefer make not buy it. It's cheaper but some material hard to get xD. It's better if you save it for upgrade skill, though.

Tales of Heart also use the same battle system like Tales of Destiny - Director's Cut. If Tales of Destiny - Director's Cut use CC for MP, Tales of Heart use EG for MP. Almost the same, but more better than CC. Believe me. You can do 50-hit combo just by using 1 skill without using orange gel or waiting your friend. LOL.

We can still use Sorcerer Ring, but there is some new action. We can upgrade Sorcerer Ring 3 times.

1. Red Flame
Used for burn branch and light torches. You can use it to turn a switch too.

2. Blue Flame
Used for destroying a rock and broke a tree. You can use it to light a ruby and electrical machine too.

3. Unknown.

Also, there is some item called Heal Energy. It's almost the same like Food Sack in Tales of Destiny, but this effect it's in battle. Not after.

Otome Crisis Article

[GIGA] OTOME CRISIS

main.jpg (109 KB)

Intro

2008's newest Eroge from GIGA. As usual, since GIGA has been repeatedly releasing Eroge with the same fighting style, this eroge too use it. Almost the same like Baldr series, and all character from Xross Scramble. Yea, you can finally use 'the main heroine in xross'. And there is 2 new character, Princess Puffy and her servant, looks like another cameo from GIGA's old game, but I don't know much. Oh by the way, the one responsible in art is Seiji Kekuchi (Team Baldrhead Illustrator if I’m not wrong) who drew the original char 'Lourie Espret Majram (ローリエ。エスプレット。マジョラム)', and Nekonyan (another illustrator in GIGA) who drew original char 'Hoshizaki Hiiro (星咲緋色)', both are the main heroine in this eroge.

Anyway, you can find the OP lyric in here.

Story

story_route-hiiro.jpg (116 KB) story_route-lourie.jpg (123 KB)

The story divided by 2, You can choose one of the main heroine to finish this game. I choose the Hiiro's route, cos` she is the easiest and deadly for first timer. And because of that, this is my review!!

First route is Hoshizaki Hiiro (星咲緋色), Hero of Justice. Very amusing character I must say. Original character by Nekonyan. She is PDF officer (dun’now the acronym). She is Henshin Hero. Yeah, this girl can henshin! She even scream “Hen~Shin~!!” Oh, the comedy. Oh by the way, Hiiro have a boss. The boss is a.. er.. human.. can this fellow called a human? He always inside a strange pot. He is pervert, likes to make Hiiro n other angry, able to run faster than everyone else >.<. And this fellow just like Sendou Iori in Fortune Arterial. “If he's not around, it's boring!” The Story, Hiiro have a mission to catch a witch. A loli witch precisely. The name is Lourie Espret Majram (ローリエ。エスプレット。マジョラム). She will run from you in the 10 chapter of this game. Just read the story :p Continue to the story,well.. I can’t tell you the detail, but this is ridiculously fun. It’s the first time I’m laughing so much when playing an eroge. Totally real-diculous!! Hiiro has the yuri-pheromone. Yeah. Whenever she finished her henshin, all girl who defeated by her, will suddenly fall in love with her, and actually want to have sex with her. Usually, the victim raped her own friends, and it’s time for us to enjoy. There is no Touma here, lol. Enjoy the yuri! And you will know Lourie's magic from Hiiro's story. She is puppeter magician. She can makes anyone become his minion, and fight for her. Usually, she beat the victim first, then rape her and poof. Easy, huh xD. We can see tentacle n such here, and of course, yuri like always. Call it love. Yes. It is love. Lourie's route is almost the reverse side from Hiiro, but she is very hard to use! Her moves is not godlike like Hiiro. :p

Battle system

fight.jpg (111 KB)

GIGA is kindly gives some new moves here. Because we can use 2 character in battle here. 1 as a main fighter, 1 for reserved as skill finisher. You can use C+X and down to release the special skill using both fighter.

combine_power.jpg (65 KB) combine_power_2.jpg (88 KB)

As usual in this fighting style, to do the special skill, you need at least 2-3 red crystal. The damage is depend, though.

extra_battle.jpg (114 KB)

Aside from Story, there is Extra Battle. And in Extra Battle, there is 4 option, one of it is Course Survival. There is 5 stage to choose, and 1 will open if you finish the stage before it. 1st stage is "Random 5 Battle". 2nd is "Enemies in Hiiro's Route". The story consist of 10 chapter, and 10 fight. So you will fight 10 enemies here. 3rd is "Enemies in Lourie's Route". It's the same like Hiiro. 4th and 5th still not available for me. I wonder what that is. And, you can use the 1st stage for opens all of the char list, because it's random!

Another option in Extra Battle is Free Battle. 1 vs 1 with you and your enemy free to choose. Both of you will level up to 10, with 10 Red Crystal each. So beware. The third option is Watch Battle, you can see how AI's fight, and learn from it. If you bored enough that is xD. The last is Training. Lol, this is starting to look like fighting game, not eroge XD.

Maybe that’s all. Currently training with Lourie. Well, she’s cute, but hard to play. Never finish her Course Survival.. always lose in stage 3 or 4. Damn it.

Well, thanks again to my beloved friend, Niki 4 da game.

Another Problem with Galzoo!!

More Problem!

ALCG0169.jpg (107 KB) ALCG0168.jpg (100 KB)

Both picture is the two optional boss in Galzoo Island. The one in the left is Golden Knight with light saber. From the look of it, it's just some usual monster with decent Hit Point. But when you actually fight it, you start to notice there is something wrong with that monster.

Even though it's just have 29k HP, you can only hurt him with 1 character who at least have 1,5k Strength for 30 DAMAGE! F*CK! With that much HP how long that monster gonna died? And I just have 1 character who actually have that much strength without any equipment. Suck? No, not really. See next boss.

The one in right is Squid Knight. The first time I met with this thing is, "Ooh, what a HP!". Yes, he has 452,3k HP. Really? Look at the picture, damn it! I thought, maybe this boss is not the same like the Golden Knight. Until when I start to hit it.

First Attack, Miss! "Oh Shi- what a misfortune!"

Second Attack, Miss! "Damn, he is quick!"

Third Attack, Miss! "Huh, really?"

Fourth Attack, MISS!! "*&@#^(%)&*HFDJH(*&*(#("

I've been screwed! That bastard is really Boss Class. He at least have 200% of Evade. And with that much Evade %, how the hell I'm gonna hit him?! Once again, I've been SCREWED!!

LOL!! What a misfortune!

Kara no Shoujo Article

[Innocent Grey] Kara no Shoujo

title.jpg (82 KB)
Innocent Grey's Eroge in 2008. Innocent Grey is famous for Gore Scene in it's game. And it getting more and more cruel from before. Because of that, if you cannot withstand Gore, please refrain from playing or reading this article. It have Gore content on it.

Intro

Just like Innocent Grey's games, to open a flag in it, is hard, at least for me. You cannot just skip the story, but you must follow the story! 1 mistake and go ahead see a woman so cruely tortured to death untill she can't be called human anymore. Totally fucked up. At first I just want to know the story and system, unfortunately it ends in the same tortured scene for 5 times!! OMG!!! THIS GAME IS SICK!!

1st_blood.jpg (117 KB)

Well, there is sex scene available, but does it enough to makes me forget when the villain pop out the victim's eyes?? The answer is NO!!!! I CAN STILL REMEMBER WHEN THEY POP OUT HER EYES, WHEN THEY MUTILATED HER, AND REMOVING HER WOMB!! OH SHIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!

System

Kara no Shoujo is different from another Innocent Grey games. You know detective games, right? For example you enter a house then they give you a picture, and please find item from this list in this picture. It's just like that. Except, you must search the item yourself. The ending will change if you cannot find the appropriate item. So, search carefully.

investigation_1.jpg (106 KB)
investigation_2.jpg (103 KB) investigation_3.jpg (71 KB)

And, since our main hero is a detective, we have a "Notebook". The hero always write all the things he found in this notebook. You can see Character Description, Evidence, Event, Alibi, and Map.

laptop_correlation_diagram.jpg (136 KB) laptop_evidence.jpg (106 KB)

System will automatically add all of that from your conversation with others. You can see it when the Notebook Icon flashing red.

laptop_flash.jpg (89 KB)

And, you can go to 2 place in a day, so please don't play so much.

map.jpg (104 KB)

Also, you really have to become a detective in this eroge to catch the culprit. Why? We must combine all of the evidence, alibi, event and who is who. After that, the story will continue.

inference_2.jpg (101 KB)

If it's not match, usually you roll back to the choosing window again, but the latter part, you don't have that luxury anymore. Fun, huh?

Story

Kara no Shoujo is literally "Girl in a shell" which become a name for a paint made by Mamiya Shinzo. It's about a girl with a black hair to shoulder in a half black shell, without a hand and a leg. Just head and the body.

kara_no_shoujo.jpg (103 KB)

People consider that painting is god-like. A lot of people interested in it, and there also some extremist who do the same thing like that. What I mean is, he kill some girl and make it like that painting.

Our main hero, Tokisaka Reiji is a detective in murder section. After finished his job, he wants to relax in his home. Too bad, an Inspector Police, his old friend, Uozumi Kyozo also there and asking for Reiji's help to search for a criminal in the mutilation murder in that city. Reiji who thinks the criminal is the same like the one who kills his fiancee, decided to help Uozumi. But, not so long, they found another victim. But this time, it's not brutally mutilated, but.. totally different from the first.

It's eyes and womb has been removed. After that, as a replacement of womb, a black shell was found. But it's limb still attach. Reiji who confused with 2 murder without relation started to search the connection.

The story continues and become more deep and deeper. Can you still calm to end this case while more and more of people become a victim and you HAVE TO look all of the murder scene, or you just click the quit button and uninstall this game. It's your choice. No need to be embarrassed.

And there still 30 char left, too bad I'm lazy :p

Afterwords

My impression is the story. 'S' point for that. It was awesome. It can change my expression in a second. From happy to sad, from lust to normal, and etc. Totally awesome. It's the first time I play an eroge with this great story.

And, the most I like is the ending. The "True End", not another xD. Beside that, the OST is top notch. Really match with the story and the situation. Also, Haruka Shimotsuki as the one who sing for the OP is also great. Her "Ruri no Tori" is owning. Whenever I heard that song, instantly my tears fall coz' the story always coming back to me. And it makes me crying.

Anyway, since the Gore scene in this eroge makes the game looks bad, but great story and OST still makes this game so awesome. Kara no Shoujo is one of the best Eroge in my heart.
