Title: Inazuma Eleven GO Dark/Shine イナズマイレブンGO シャイン ダーク
Console: 3DS
Genre: Super-dimensional soccer RPG
Language: Japanese
Company: LEVEL-5
Summary:

12/18/11: Cleared Shine… Got my preorder downloads on Dark. Going through postgame material on Shine for a bit (setting up some of my dream team~) before proceeding on Dark!

Random rantings/SLIGHT (extremely vague) SPOILERS under the cut until I get things organized (I refuse to post any heavy spoilers from beyond the anime, since you should go enjoy the game yourself if you want that.)

Title: Kami Naru Kimi to 神なる君と
Console: PSP
Genre: Otome, Visual Novel
Language: Japanese
Company: Idea Factory
Summary: omg this MIGHT be the first Idea Factory game I could score as high as I do for Takuyo games? (I guess I really liked their Fushigi Yuugi games too but that was in great part due to my Nojinii bias). I hope it doesn’t disappoint because it’s got me nicely from the start.

*edit* Anddddd it does not disappoint…! My first high score for an Idea Factory game.~ If you like Takuyo’s otome games, this one should be right up your sleeve too. Also, for anyone who wants to CRY THEIR EYES OUT IN LOVE…~

But word of warning, I’ve only played Narumi’s route. XD;

Title: Uta no Prince-sama Music うたの☆プリンスさまっ♪Music
Console: PSP
Genre: Rhythm Game
Language: Japanese
Company: Broccoli
Summary: Nothing but awesome music and a few cheesy lines from our idol seiyuu ;D

Unlocked all the pieces in a couple hours and am just playing it casually on my transit time from/to work when I feel like it. There’s not too much to say about this title, but that’s not a bad thing at all. :3

Title: アルカナ・ファミリア La storia della Arcana Famiglia
Console: PSP
Genre: Otome
Language: Japanese
Company: HuneX
Summary: Fukuyama Jun, Yonaga Tsubasa, Yoshino Hiroyuki, Sugita Tomokazu, Kosugi Juurouta, Yusa Kouji.
I’m going after Yonaga first, even with this cast. XD; I think I have a thing for shorties who try to act tough 8X~

Title: Final Fantasy Type-0 (ファイナルファンタジー零式)
Console: PSP
Genre: Action RPG
Language: Japanese
Company: Square Enix
Summary: First off the bat, this title renews my faith in the Final Fantasy series a bit, since lately I’d been somewhat unimpressed compared with the hype. This title actually follows through with the hype for the most part.

Finished my 2nd playthrough. I must suck since I didn’t get the alternate ending even though I picked the 2nd choice for all those creepy red screens, so I ended up just watching it on Tudou. >_> Will probably end up creeping slowly around my 3rd playthrough with a guide to get all the side junk I missed. Thank goodness just about everything carries over.

Title: Tales of the Abyss
Console: Nintendo 3DS
Genre: Tales of the Abyss
Language: Japanese
Company: Namco
Summary: My first 3DS game purchase! I watched the anime when it aired in Japan and enjoyed it. But since I know the story already, I might get sidetracked while I play this .___.; I did spend a hefty dollar to get the game though, so I’ll be sure to enjoy every dollar it’s worth eventually~ Luke \o/

Title: Tales of Xillia
Console: PS3
Genre: Action RPG, Fantasy
Language: Japanese
Company: Namco
Summary: Finished the main story with Jude! Currently building up some extra grade to prep for a 2nd run with Milla (will probably start it at around 8000 grade). And in the far future I will probably then bother with a third replay to re-enjoy the story with max grade. Or just wait to see if Namco will do something with the huge amount of untouched potential in this title.

Various light spoilers in the reviews, but as usual I stay away from any major spoilers. Ffff, I ship Jude/Milla so hard. バリボー＼^ω^/

Further edits are planned in the future, but the main meat of the review is mostly complete for now!

Title: Bunmei Haruka: Aoiza Ibunroku 文明開華 葵座異聞録
Console: PSP
Genre: Otome
Language: Japanese
Company: FuRyu
Summary: Another company of few games excelling wonderfully on the game controls. Why the f can’t Otomate/Idea Factory/etc be this awesome with game controls when they have SOOOO many titles/opportunities to improve? …

Title: Hoshiiro no Okurimono portable 星色のおくりもの portable
Console: PSP
Genre: Otome
Language: Japanese
Company: Takuyo
Summary: I started this a while back during my first Takuyo frenzy when I saw that Mizushima Takahiro was on the list, but…

Title: Shinigami to Shoujo [死神と少女]
Console: PSP
Genre: Otome
Language: Japanese
Company: Takuyo
Summary: New Takuyo game ffff.
I was actually surprised to hear the main girl has a VOICE!… Just for the prologue apparently. XD; And of course you can customize which voices you hear and don’t.

So warning, I’ve ONLY done Hinase (Tattsun)’s route, and I don’t know how long it’ll be before I have the heart to go after anyone else even though this game interests me so… ^^;;

But I really have to give it my highest rating. Takuyo’s otome games just DO NOT DISAPPOINT.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR HINASE’S ROUTE UNDER THE CUT
