New look

So I went ahead and changed the template. Added a background and moved the links that were at the top to the side... Doesn't look too bad in my opinion but there can still be improvements, especially the odd and fat spacing at the ride side

Yes, I spent quite some time reading and some bits of skipping Fortissimo EXA. It definitely left an quite an impression what with the Nagisa twitter wallpaper I'm using now. Sadly, Nagisa fights only twice in the whole game but she gains skills really fast and has some pretty sick skills

Sure, her stats are somewhat lacking but she more that makes up for her abilities. To compare with somebody in a battle type game, I'd say she's the closest to Saber. The knight style, golden sword although she doesn't get enough battle time. But sadly who will win the battles is pretty obviously. The loser dies or rather disappears, so the one with the most uber powers will always win, that's why Reiji and Sakura survived. Reiji's Da Capo ranks high when compared among other hax abilities from other games like Shirou UBW and tracing powers, Shiki's Death Eyes (Tsukihime and Kara no Kyokai's)... this skill alone makes Reiji invincible (even with skills that kill him) as long as he has mana. It resets time back to a maximum duration of 24 hours. Essentially it's like saying the attack never hit me or it never happended. The epilogue made up for "kill off everyone, even my favorite Ryuichi and Nagisa), when Fortissimo, the ultimate magic is used to set things back before the whole "let's fight and kill each other to protect our most precious things". Plenty of light shows and beam spams, with attacks taken from Norse mythology (Laevateinn, Thor, Tyrfing). Momiji's Grimoire, the crystals are named after the Latin names of seven sins Avaritia, Superbia, Gula etc. PS. The black knights in 11eyes also possessed the same names. Interesting mythology lesson and info while playing EXA

This is a nice review on EXA and does shed some light on the true route details

Left is Nepgear, the Purple Sister (a reference to the Game Gear system it seems) and on right in Yuni/Uni, the Black Sister (most likely the PSP). The White Sisters are the twins Rom and Ram which are shown in the siloconera link (the ds or the 3ds?) Yes, its all a reference to the handheld consoles systems

MOE!!! OVERDOSE!!! Instant preorder!

I'll play it when it comes out. Seems the game is getting an August release date

Leaf/Aquaplus hard at work

To Heart 2 DX Plus or just To Heart 2 PS3 ver. The game should be using the Motion Potrait System the company used for White Album Ps3 ver, which was a good part of the game. Slightly different from the one Compile Heart (Aquaplus was more natural to me), it made interaction with the characters more realistic, the moving hair, mouth, eyes etc. For sure, I'll get it when it comes out

Once known as Final Dragon Chronicle ~ Guilty Requiem ~ that came with the Manaka de Ikuno! game, it's now a standalone game and has been renamed as Dungeon Travelers. It's a 1st person dungeon crawler game where navigation is an old Wolfenstein game. Level up, class change, get weapons and armor, new party members, switch members etc

3 new game projects: Utawarerumono 2, Tears to Tiara 2 and Jasmine. Leaf fans already know about Utaware and ToT series. ToT looks interesting enough but Utaware lacks something, Well, I'm one of the people who prefer the Amaduyu style from back then. According to my info, both games are coming out for the PS3

Extreme Project Diva songs that are somewhat ridiculous

Gameplay videos that make you question whether the players are human, and how many hours were spent perfecting it

Disapearance is a rather favorite song of mine, although I have absolutely no idea what Miku is singing... I thought this was the worst Sega could do but boy, was I wrong. So very very wrong

From 1:30 onwards, chaos ensues... What's left is probably aching fingers and a sense of gaming godliness and pride when one gets a perfect no miss run

Idolm@ster 2. Project Fairy (Miki, Hibiki and Takane) singing Little Match Girl. Seriously this may be the only reason why I want to get the Xbox360. Good songs, nice and smooth dance animations and a whole bunch of idols to produce

Mega au Toki by Chihaya (CV: Imai Asami)

The main reason why I took interest in Idolm@ster was Asami's voice, which is somewhat deep and powerful, a voice somewhat similar to say... Hikasa Yoko
