Sega Saturn - Angelique Special Premium Box

Title: Angelique Special Premium Box / アンジェリークＳｐｅｃｉａｌ

Developer/Publisher: KOEI

Release date: 4 October 1996 (Premium Box)

Catalogue No.: T-7622G (Premium Box)

Genre: Neo Romance

Nice enough romantic adventure game featuring some nice full-screen FMV animation and RPG-style gameplay even though it's technically not an RPG. Graphically it's not bad however this game can be a little off-putting due to the heavy amount of Japanese options featured within it.

Koei has certainly put together a nice box set for Angelique Special. Above you can see the front of the box and below the back of the box. As you can see the whole box is a lovely gold colour that these scans don't really give justice to.

Inside the box, you get the game on a full-color printed CD, 5 postcards, a 300-piece jigsaw, a memo pad, a pencil case, a mechanical pencil, and an eraser. All for 8800 yen. Not a bad price when you consider it's only 3000 yen more than the normal edition of the game.

Originally saw this in the AnimeFeminist link roundup (didn’t want to reblog that post as it has a tragically long “description” under the link title, sorry!) and

HOLY CRAP AN ARTICLE

IN ENGLISH

ABOUT ANGELIQUE

An excellent article as well. Angelique is THE original otome game, and I don’t think a lot of English-speaking otome fans have ever heard of it, aside from the two Neo-Angelique anime series that were officially released with subtitles.

And because I can never mention Ange without saying this, the series has been LITERALLY LIFE CHANGING for me and my wife - we met about 20 years ago because we were both fans and had websites. (Now we have one, sort of... still working on mashing the two together, whoops. Progress so far.) 

Guess how my wife got started with translation? She translated the Angelique manga. Uh, don’t read it, it’s like... 20 years out of date and she’s gained about 38752048609486 levels since then. 8D

Shiiiit I need to reupload our OVA fansubs somewhere. THEY SUCK TOO YEAAAAAAAAAAH 8D

There is this one trending hashtag on twitter where you can show your general preference in Neo Romance characters by mentioning 4 characters....But honestly I think I need to choose at least 40 characters to show what I prefer in the Neo Romance characters...And I still haven't even counted my other high-medium level favorites like Murasame, Oshihito, Benkei, JD, Bernard, Francis or Myouga too here 😂 But now that I have lined my favorites side by side like this, there are surely some similarities between them. Heck! Some of them are almost like twins in term of appearance and personalities!! Serious, hardworking or passionate on/in their duty/field with a bit of gap moe seem to be the most common traits I can notice?? Somewhat grumpy and non-stereotypical younger types/kouhai are also my favorites. Meanwhile appearance wise, blonde or dark hair and purple eyes are also common among them?? Though again...my preferences seem to be still too broad to sum it up in 4 characters only, I guess? Shimizu, Haru and Ritsu could probably cover most of them, but I am totally lost at the 4th person 😅

Interesting ;). Make your voice be heard ;).

Koei Tecmo America is conducting a data-collecting survey regarding its Japanese otome games on Twitter. Until September 26, 2019, people can help answer the question, “Would gamers in the west be interested in any Ruby Party titles?” This would apply to the Neo Romance games like Harukanaru Toko no Naka de 7, Kiniro no Corda Octave, and the just announced Angelique game.

The company made it clear that this is not about localizations. It is about getting data from people who might be interested in Koei Tecmo otome games. It just asks if people want them, then asks if people could share which platform they’d like to play the games on. As of 6:45am CT on September 24, 2019, the response was overwhelmingly positive, with 81% of the 3,483 voters choosing “yes.” The Nintendo Switch was a very popular platform, though people were also chiming in to suggest the PlayStation 4, PC, and even Xbox One as possible platforms.

The last few years have been full of Ruby Party Neo Romance games in Japan. The PlayStation Vita got games like Harukanaru Toki no Naka de Ultimate and Kiniro no Corda 3: Full Voice Special and Octave (La Corda de Oro). The Nintendo Switch has also been a popular platform, with Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 6 DX and eventually 7, the Angelique announcement, and its own Kiniro no Corda: Octave port.

Angelique and Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 7 will come to the Nintendo Switch in Japan in 2020.

#4: Neo Angelique

I’m weak. I should have kept trying, but Devil Summoner has beaten me. I’m going to have to restart on the Normal difficulty. My pride as a gamer lead me to believe I could beat a Megaten game for the first time on the highest difficulty. I am ashamed.

So, I decided to replay a game that has become very dear to me. While my main genre is RPGs, I played quite a bit of Neo Angelique on a complete whim around a year ago. Neo Angelique is a very important game to me, as it came into my life when I was going through an incredibly messy break-up. On top of that, I was facing issues with housing and employment. I literally didn’t know if I would have a house or job at the end of it all. I was despondent.  

Neo Angelique was my escape. You play as an ordinary young woman, studying at a university to become a doctor. She’s kind, but assertive when she has to be, and when her true identity becomes clear, the fate of the entire universe rests on her shoulders. The game is immersive, with a massive amount of lore that you’ll naturally discover as you play. I found myself really caring about the world of Arcadia, and it was a perfect escape from the roaring dumpster fire that was my personal life.

It’s also a game very much focused on romance: each of the four main characters has their own route, and going through each one changes the story, and subsequent ending, by a significant amount. Each playthrough also offers new information about Arcadia, and this naturally lead me to complete the game multiples times. Two secret routes also exist, but given that I’ve logged 60 hours into the game, and STILL haven’t completed every normal route, that says something. This game is packed! 

 There’s some dark plot points for the drama, but in the end, everything ends up okay. You and your chosen beau (or not!) end up just where they need to be. I really needed that back then. I still need it now. Sometimes, you need an assurance that things will be okay. It’s a fairy-tale disguised as a game.

Neo Angelique did that for me. The world isn’t always nice. It isn’t always fair. Sometimes, life will punch you in the face, and the best you can do is hope it doesn’t shatter your nose. 

I’m so grateful for this otome game. Thank you, Ruby Party. You’ve done me a solid.

Ok I'm looking at all this Angelique Retour stuff and wow this series looks really neat. A shame you can't both romance the guys and rule as queen of the cosmos. Then again, that does open up opportunities for fancy space queen end courting post game fics. AAAAAAAA cute designs, really nice art, here's hoping it gets translated

Yeah!! Its always annoying when otome games have that stupid job or romance binary. Everyone complained when princess maker suddenly added it despite letting you get both endings in all the older games.Oh but Angelique Retour is just the name of the remake, there's a bazillion other ones like neo angelique and angelique duet and etc. Real confusingly named sequels! The original was just called Angelique and it honestly had a lot better character designs than the more generic remake version. They completely changed Olivie from a long haired mega fashion bisexual man into just.. Looks like the prince from princess maker 1 but with some feather accessory on his shoulder. I wouldn't have even recognised him if not for the process of elimination, lol!Anyway i heard about it via this random hour long livestream some lets players did of the first game, translating the dialogue as they go: https://youtu.be/lXdUcDBM0s4 I hope they do more parts someday!

[fuckyeahgakuenheaven]

While I’m spamming, here’s the Angelique sideblog if you want to follow it. Don’t expect any sort of quality posting, though. It’s all garbage.

Don’t worry, you can clean it up with this dustbuster.

7’SCARLET

Release Date: May 25, 2018 (North America) Developers:  Toybox Inc, Otomate Publishers:  Idea Factory, Aksys Games Platforms:  PS Vita ESRB Rating: T (Teen)

As the second title released by Aksys Games for their Summer Mystery Bundle, 7’scarlet offers one gripping mystery-solving game play amplified with a cute touch of romance.

Walkthroughs:

Hino Kagutsuchi Isora Amari Toa Kushinada Sosuke Tatehira Yuzuki Murakumo True Route & Final Character

  Read the game’s synopsis here.

  FIRST IMPRESSIONS Otome Visual Novels are either a hit or a miss when it comes to it’s story narratives. Just like Collar x Malice, 7’scarlet did one hell of a job foregoing a very intriguing mystery-type plot line while having a few romantic events as an additive to its overarching deep story. Like a really good book or a TV series, it was so hard to brush off the game’s story build-up as it became curiously engaging in each chapter you progress.

With the help of it’s unique visuals and animations, playing 7’scarlet was close to watching your favorite anime series.

  ART One of the things I really enjoyed while playing 7’scarlet was seeing its astonishing BG images. It’s just so pretty, it’s like wallpaper material, no kidding! (giggle)

. The game’s artist was non other than, Kurahana Chinatsu an illustrator who’s also famous for her other popular works such as the character designs for Uta no Prince-Sama, Lamento (Beyond the Void), and Togainu no Chi.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Looking at these lovely BG images reminded me of browsing through expensive art catalogs!

  SOUNDTRACK AND VOICE ACTING There are two opening themes, “World’s End Syndrome” and “LOVESICK”, you can unlock the latter after finishing a certain route in the game. The BGMs are good too, some are rather simple but very fitting for the game’s setting and story transitions. Heck, I ended up buying the whole 7’scarlet soundtrack in iTunes.

And like any other game, there will always be that one song you’ll end up getting stuck with, even after completing  the game. Dat-one-song that gave you so much FEELS. In 7’scarlet, mine would have to be the song “Starry”.

  Voice Acting

Nobunaga Shimazaki “Hino“ – Napoleon (Ikevamp), Kurogane Naoto (BlazBlue), Mitsuhide (Sengoku Nightblood)

Tetsuya Kakihara “Isora“ – Shin (Amnesia), Victor Frankenstein (Code Realize), Karasuba (Pyschedelica BB), Toki Tanba (Charming Empire)

Showtaro Morikubo “Toa“ – Impey (Code Realize), Reiji (Uta no Prince-sama), Okita (Hakuoki)

Chiharu Sawashiro “Sosuke“ – Shila (Snow White and the Red hair), Hero (Caligula Effect)

Shinichirou Miki “Yuzuki“ – Hijikata (Hakuoki), Nesso Galland (Black Wolves Saga), Bucket-Sensei (Bad Apple Wars)

Sanae Kobayashi “Yuki“ – Sara Nome (Macross Zero), Nagisa (Maid Sama)

Hiroki Yasumoto “Mr. Karasuma“ – Azrael (BlazBlue), Nidai Nekomaru (Danganropa V3), Hyuga (KLAP)

Hiroki Takahashi “Kagura Tsukuyomi“ – Rayne (Neo Angelique Abyss), Otohiko (Kamisama Kiss), Koujaku (DRAMAtical Murder)

Daisuke Kishio “Yasu“ – Azusa (Diabolik Lovers), Mizushima Arata (Kiniro no Corda: Bluesky), Kuzuryuu (Danganropa V3)

Chiwa Saito “Yua“ – Aoi Asahina (Danganropa V3), Taokaka (BlazBlue), Domina (Period Cube), Fate (Caster)

  MAIN CHARACTERS (SPOILER FREE)

Recommended play order:

1)Hino 2)Isora 3)Toa – only unlocks after finishing Hino and Isora’s good ending 4)Sosuke – only unlocks after finishing Toa’s good ending 5)Yuzuki – only unlocks after finishing all of the character’s good ending

  Hino Kagutsuchi

Childhood friend

Sporty

Dork

Hino’s story was cute. It had very few spoilers regarding the game’s overarching plot but his route did a good job catering as a story build-up for the oncoming routes you’ll get in to after finishing the first two recommended ones (his and Isora’s). I enjoyed the fact that Hino was physically a jock on the outside but covertly the biggest dork on the inside

(the guy fangirls on ‘kawaii’ things! Awww). His romance ventured more into the friendship-type-love rather than a mature one. His route wasn’t my favorite, but it was definitely a good start, nevertheless.

  Isora Amari

Best Chef

Hot tempered

Jealous

Yandere

Just like Hino’s route, Isora’s story offers very few spoilers of the game’s underlying plot but was well written enough to create a very mysterious atmosphere of the town, Okunezato. Isora’s character depth was also deeper than I expected and I wished the writers expounded more on the justification of this character’s actions rather than just throwing it on the spot. Despite this, I love Isora Amari’s story. It had great pacing, enough to give you that creep factor you seek in every mystery-themed visual novel. His romance, on the other hand may or may not suit everyone’s preferences. Although I personally enjoyed it, I can understand how it may not work for some. ┐(︶▽︶)┌

  Toa Kushinada

Cat mom

Clumsy af

Color blind

such a sweet boi!

So my first impression with Toa was: “Really?! I have to romance this clumsy nerd, seriously, game?”. Then I started playing his route just to get it over with and oh my goodness! I did not expected the sudden turn of events! 

As I’ve probably mentioned repeatedly on my previous reviews… I absolutely love it when a game catches you off guard, and this route takes the cake! I was left speechless.  I couldn’t talk more about his story without going into spoiler territory so I’ll leave it at this: Toa was such a great character and he deserves all the love in the world! Best boy (imo), one that’s definitely unforgettable.

  Sosuke Tatehira

Smart

Neat freak!

Best Doctor

OC!

If there was one route that got me at the edge of my seat in 7’scarlet ~ it was definitely Sosuke’s. His story had great pacing where it started off very light and warm then surprisingly escalated into a few bemusing affairs. His route also introduced a more definitive and deeper story regarding the mysteries surrounding the town of Okunezato. While the suspense was a little overwhelming in this route, I wanted to commend on how the romance never took a back seat in Sosuke’s story. His relationship with the heroine felt genuinely real and I love both his and Ichiko’s character development. I also loved the fact that Sosuke was such a neat freak and becomes very obsessive-compulsive about something so simple such as a goldfish scooping game! The perfect husbando, if you ask me! (chuckles)

  Yuzuki Murakumo

Jerk Boss

Hot!!!

Intense

Tsundere

While the suspense was building up in Sosuke’s previous route, Yuzuki’s story on the other hand was a power house of thrill and drama coupled with a few action packed scenes and romantic events… And although it happened so fast, all at the same time, I’ve got to say it was paced really well that it didn’t came out too forced nor too overwhelming with information. I personally love Yuzuki’s character. He’s cold and irritable on the outside but inside his icy personality is one very warm fluffy husbando! 

 His story was probably the most compelling as far as solving the mysteries of Okunezato goes.

  Ichiko Hanamaki (You)

amnesiac heroine (explained in ??? ‘s route)

hates strawberries (explained in ??? ‘s route)

can’t swim (explained in ??? ‘s route)

Despite the the main protagonist’s naivety and recklessness to a point where you’d clearly have to question this heroine’s sense of danger 

 (laughs), Ichiko Hanamaki had a couple of good points up her sleeve such as her strong will and determination to look for her disappeared older brother in spite of being absolutely clueless on where to begin. Another enjoyable aspect, was how this heroine sometimes gets shamelessly clumsy in declaring her love to the gentleman of her liking. She had a couple of funny moments that got me all “wtf lol” ~ so it was never a dull moment playing her as the MC. 

    And it gets better… So the story doesn’t really end there. After finishing Hino, Isora, Toa, Sosuke, and Yuzuki’s route. Two more routes unlocks in this game.

Who is the culprit?

Another factor why this game was so entertaining to me was that it reminded me of playing Mafiascum; where each player gets to accuse anybody as the culprit and the accused needs to present alibis to which another player/s confirms it to prove his innocence.

As someone who’s been playing mafiascum online for a long time, the game’s conclusion was somewhat predictable but I’ve got to admit, it was one gripping read and the “True Ending” was painfully heartbreaking.

  TRAILER

  OVERALL THOUGHTS?

7’scarlet is a very well written mystery themed visual novel. While the story appeared so simple, the events where paced so good that the rise and fall of tension as you unravel the mysteries remained suspenseful enough to keep you wanting for more.

I had a couple of moments where I really couldn’t put down the game for a second just to eat or sleep because I had to know, I NEEED to know what will happen next!

Truth be told, I had never expected I’d get so emotionally attached to this game. It’s really one gripping read. It’s one of those titles that’s hard to get over with even after finishing the game play. I think an overall rating of 4.5/5 is an appropriate mark for 7’scarlet. The rest of the .05 completing the perfect score is just me wishing they could’ve done more with the last secret route as I did felt it to be a little lacking as far as how the story concluded.

I would say the animation and movie clips were an additional plus points. Although without it, the game still excels as one of the most compelling stories an otome game has to offer. Do I recommend this game? YESSSS! If you’re looking for a good mystery-romance themed visual novel with great art, music, animation and one unforgettable story that will rob you of words, 7’scarlet is the perfect choice. All your money’s worth it too.

Made some icons from Tenshi no Namida’s limited edition image because everyone is looking fine there and because I also want to have some of those boys for my own personal icon myself~!

Feel free to use/edit/resize if anyone else wants to and you can find the individual icons below the Keep Reading tag!

Anyway, can’t it be December now so I can finally get my hand on both this game and Corda Fortissimo already?!! ;w;
