D'aw, the website's adorable. XD I like that thief guy. Man, wish I could read Japanese but I couldn't make it passed their alphabets. D;

Seriously, their website is amazing. I feel so sorry for Evil Lord, hahaha!

I feel for him too. How could we have let him reach that state? Somebody needs to quiver before his might to relieve that poor guy's inferiority complex. Sadly I don't qualify because I have a disease that makes me glomp Evil Lords on sight.

This game is so lawl. All their personalities make so much sense to me. I really want to play it xD

I want this so badly it hurts.

I love both character designs and personality *0* (And we all seem to like Evil Lord huh? xD)

I'm looking forward to the rest of the cast (please, cast Hino as the stalker-ish villager and I will die happily xD)

I thought Hino is more to yandere than stalker chara, haha~

Super looking forward to this. July seems so far away ToT

Well, I've heard him in several Otome games/drama CDs and I think you're right, his yandere voice is awesome *0* But I also think some of his characters have this "stalker mode", and he's just plain amazing. Plus, I think (or more like "I want to think") that the Villager will be slightly yandere/doS and that's just Hino's strong point (and it's not that I love Hino, or something, really)

Anyway, just cast him already.

oh my gollyyyy i cant wait for this otome!! :flower:
slime and dancer are the ones i like <3

really cute tumbl post that i saw --> [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I find it odd that the normal character is the one I want to go for the most. The thought of the Villager being a stalker makes a lot of sense to me after playing so many rpg games XD. I want to see his secret stalker life, and how much effort he put into his plans.

You don't know how much I want to play this game. Knight, Monk, and Priest are best classes imo

I only got to see the PV before... wow the site is soooo cute! And I never knew they released some info on the cast already~ Mmhmm Namidai and Morisho~

Dayum, there are 3 games? I thought there was just one.... Dammit rejet! ;A;

Me too. :shock:

I kind of like playing the normal guys. XD

Well, isn't that great?? If you keep on studying, you'll be able to understand more games and/or anime-manga

By the way, YOUR SIGNATURE OMFG TACHIBANA WHY YOU..!!! I CAN'T BREATHE!!! -dies-

Ahhh I really want to play this ;;
I saw the website the other day and it looked great
The Mahoutsukai is looking fine. ouo/

ZOMG GTFO I WANT THIS SO BAD I'LL SELL MY ONE REMAINING KIDNEY FOR THIS! /end rant.

God, every year I fall for Rejet harder and harder. Why isn't there a game where I can chase after Rejet itself?! I'd work hard for the true ending!

This idea is just great. Their website layout is just so cute and more importantly, fun! The Earthbound-like menu is win. Even though they're using pretty unoriginal personalities, I like the fact that the creators messed with the cliched personalities of the RPG archetypes to spice things up. That Evil Overlord is so huggable~.

Yeah, so much love for the Villager character idea! There should be a scene where the protagonist walks into his house and see these crazy maps, charts, navigational items and a dartboard full of knived pictures of other dudes who were into the protag. Only then will I forgive the useless items/quest rewards villagers tend to give.

Now for the most important part of my pointlessly lengthy post: BACK OFF, THE PRIEST IS MINE (more like I'm the Priest's given his silly attitude)!

xD When the first news slipped in I thought it was just going to be a Drama CD, but the fact that it's a game...

wow that's like a 2x deadly combo to the ovaries right there......


Rejet why do you keep doing this dammit Rejet

Yup. Bye-bye, contents of wallet...

Can we share???? I'm in love with his seiyuu onegai ヾ(:3ﾉｼヾ)ﾉｼ
Welp, if you refuse I'd understandww
I'm so happy that Yuusha is voiced by NamiDai T^T

I have set my eyes on Villager kun, his sentences are so suspicious, I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be a yandere/haraguro chara and I'm totally okay with it! (✿◉◡◉)
But the character I look forward to the most is Kemonotsukai kyun .... The fact that he's quite naive(innocent) + ドS bawaaah I'm sold (//∇//) (I've always liked the Beastmaster class a lot; as much as the Priest one in RPGs)
嗚呼, 私の可愛いショタくん(✿⊙ω⊙) What a cute babe... bawww

Still, that idea is really original! One of the reasons why I love Rejet daaaamn _(:3 」∠)_

Wouldn't that be ironic for the dancer to be voiced by Yocchin. . . (Im sorry I instantly thought of Auger when I saw his phrase, someone end my life now _(┐「ε: )_)

I am a generous and benevolent soul... So you can have him! I understand how deep one's love can go for one of their favourite seiyuu. Plus you said "onegai!" That's SRS FKN BZNSS.
I-it's not like I like you or anything, o-okay? Ba-BAKA! :oops:

There are no words to describe how epic it is that Namikawa-san will voice Yuusha! Well, there may be a couple...

Okay, maybe I wouldn't go that far, but I'm very happy about this development!

I like you! Not limiting yourself to one character... that's the way! My ideal man-harem is a work in progress and it just won't do if I choose one guy at a time. LOL yeah, Murabito is super-sus. Given that he's probably a psycho-stalker, I'm putting money on yandere rather than haraguro. I can't wait to walk into his room of stalker-y madness! Can't wait to see what cage he has prepared for me the protagonist.

I wonder how that will work? I'm just sold since he has a whip. I don't mean that in a perverted way, of course. Sheesh, who the hell am I kidding, here?! I don't know what to think of such a cute little guy whipping the crap out of the protagonist... F!@#, it's awesome! To the other "sane" readers here, I've accepted that I'm on a one-way trip to hell. Please don't put me in "the van" yet!

The only Beastmaster class I've used extensively is probably in Final Fantasy, to help my Blue Mage learn Monster moves.

Rejet frequently pushes the envelope, and they do it so well. Black Wolves Saga is a God damn masterpiece. Gekka Ryouran Romance was a refreshing change of pace from the usual types of stuff being released. Tiny x Machinegun is going to be great- love the setting! /ends fangirl rant.

Haha, I so know what you mean about the Auger thing. I wonder if Odoriko likes violins? :lol:You've totally brainwashed me! Now I'll be outraged if Yoshino-san isn't Odoriko. Still will approve of the lack of a buttoned-up top, though. Oh, and I won't even go into what I thought of his phrase, o ho ho~

Frickk he's really hot hawly SHEt I don't think I'll be able to handle him in game orz
And then I read his pride/insolence = 999 while his hobby is to watch people beg for their life and I want to cry, seriously (It's gonna be so fun I feel I'll suffer... it's Rejet come on ( ༎ຶ ◡༎ຶ))

You're weak to "onegai"s huh? *notes down huehueue it might come in handy*

You're right in a senseww I fancy his voice because it's really nice and soft; I don't know, it has a certain calming effect to me and I can't get over it. Not that I expect NamiDai to use this kind of tone in this game since welp... It's Yuusha kun after all and their personalities totally got warped(and he loves to break the village's jars...! . . . oh wait this sounds so silly but cute at the same time ( ༎ຶ ◡༎ຶ) welp, he's destroying the villager's supplies so it's supposed to be a bad thing but...! ますます気になるね _(:3 」∠)_ *cries

The yandere option is more probable, indeed. With a phrase like "I've always, always been watching you." There's no doubt that something's up given the circumstances; tho I'm saying something new here. It makes me laugh to know that he stalks the heroineww His "Unexpected" gauge is at 999 too it smells so fishy but I know I'm gonna like iiiiiiiiiiiiit bring it ooon! _(ᅙωᅙ๑_ )_
I'd like to see Murabito's reactions concerning Yuusha since he loves to breaks the village's jarswww Like if he has a spit personnality Uohohoho ii ne (✿⊙ω⊙)
I like you too!(✿◉◡◉) Well, isn't that the best to love the characters you just want to love??? www I mean there are some games where I can barely like all the characters and I can only focus on one due to art/personnality/relations... various reasons. There's that thing too, the "guilt" of loving one character/going for his route while you "betray" the other but like it's an otome game? It's your objective to "get 'em all", no?(it almost sounds like Pokémon oh frick) And if you like more than one character I think it's good because it'd mean you enjoyed the game/characters?? So yes, I don't think it's really bad to love a lot of characters at the same time??? You can broaden your point of view ad your harem altogetherwww
Anyway it's just some random babbles don't mind it too much I don't even know if I made sense?? woooaah _(:3 」∠)_
The more the merrier! Right? *coughthatswhatotogestaughtmecough* Even Auger approves. (✿◉◡◉)

I wonder too but I'd like to see him ordering the heroine around or smt, I don't have a clue either but I can't wait, I expect a lot from him! Ooh, you're also in because of hiss whip huh. *highfive* OF COURSE we're totally not meaning it in a perverted way, come on! Who would think--- Heyguysplsjustignorethewhipstuffokay If he whips the protagonist I don't think I'd stand that... So awesome I know I wanna cry again its perfect I love this kind of shota; welp he's almost as old as me but idgaf im callinghim shota wnyway ASDFG I huh I mean....... This is not my fault, blame Rejet again for turning me like that ciaooo
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
His penguin familiar looks so cute!(and menacing but let's put that minor detail aside) I used to play a lot of Beastmasters/Shamans in RPGs so I'm quite used to them. (I liked Vieras a lot too) I'd like to invoke cute animals to help me kick some ass and it looks so cool too _(┐「ε_
I just hope Shimono Hiro doesn't voice him because I'm at my limit rn.(I don't hate him; I'd say I like him but he alreeady voices a shota like that in storm Lovers 2 and I'd like to hear new voices for 'emww)

I love Rejet so much since BWS I already sold my soul to them! ヾ(:3ﾉｼヾ)ﾉｼ Although now I can't enjoy happy fluffy romance as much as I did beforewww They did something different and it was great. I like how they innovate their games and pick "unexpected" settings etc. I long for more of their dark gothic fantasy storieswww
A-Anyway.

At least he loves to dance so he must love music and by extension instruments? He doesn't look like the type to dance on Mozart's 5th Allegro eitherwww (even if his hobby is to "dance joyfully"... I, I'm kind of sorry I said that but that's the first thing I thought when I read "楽しいねぇ" and it probably won't leave my mind for a long time. uwu

It's kind of weird but speaking of it made me appreciate the characters a little more??

For once let's say something useful www
The blog has been updated and they will announce the rest of the cast on May, 10th. (o*´∇｀)o＊ワクワクしますね＊o(´∇｀*o)

They also put new icons~

Spoiler:

I seem to like all of them? 8D Can't wait for this game!
This is a segmented game too right? :O

Eryx wrote:I seem to like all of them? 8D Can't wait for this game!

Yes, it looks like it will be. Segmented games are about AUD$15~30 each, so hopefully that'll mean people will be more inclined to buy it. In the end, it can mean you're spending more in the long run, but for some people, little bits of lower prices are better than one bang-on high price. Given the amount of characters, it's understandable that they broke the game up into three.

LMAO, you're a riot! Yeah, that Priest is gorge! If I haven't mentioned already, he would have been a perfect character for Sakurai Takahiro to voice. Alas! But I'm happy for you, Zucchini!

That may just be a Legend of Zelda reference- which isn't an RPG, but I'm still appreciative. Namikawa Daisuke's yasashii roles are so soothing... like as Ayato in Otometeki Koi Kakumei Love Revo! *Swoons* Well, sometimes heroes are just poor and need to break people's jars for secret stash money, y'know?!

That's right! It depends on the game, for me. For most games, I feel guilty when I go do the next route, 'cos it feels like I'm cheating! I want my man harem, but I don't want to cheat as well. I'm full of contradictions! Especially if it's a dark game- knowing that doing somebody else's route means another hero goes under... very sad!

Yeah, Shimono does get the uke/shota roles. I'm interested in seeing another seiyuu go for this kind fo role, too! Maybe Fujiwara Yuuki or Ichiki Mitsuhiro?

I somewhat agree with this! I do like my fluffy romances, but I've been finding that I give higher ratings to the "darker" games. Maybe because fluffier games tend to have less substance?

Wow, me, being on topic?! I like what I'm seeing, brah~ That Slime kid is so cute! Let's not forget poor ol' Evil Overlord. That guy needs a break, srsly. xP

From a purely storytelling standpoint, this sounds interesting because if it wasn't a dating game--or maybe because it is--it sounds like it could be a great premise for a horror based game.

The music even reminds me of "The Game with No Name/Nanashi no Geemu", which was part visual novel, part rpg, and part first person horror game. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
