Now... I've been asked to play/replay several VNs and post on each by several people who read but don't post here, as well as several members.  These will have to come after I finish Damekoi  and after the VN of the Month (currently playing Floral Flowlove), but there is a distinct possibility I'll manage to play at least one more VN through before the release of Deus Ex later this month.  I've also had requests to play and comment on more JRPGs, but I'll be honest when I say there aren't a ton of jrpgs coming up that I'm actually that interested in.  I do plan to play FFXV, because a friend of mine asked me to go in for half of it (neither of us trusts SE enough to pay full price for one of their games), but I can't really say I'm looking forward to it.

The VNs I've been asked to replay include:

Hatsuyuki Sakura- To repeat one of my usual phrases, I'm going to be blunt with yall... this game is the last truly awesome game I played by Saga Planets (Hanasaki was good but not great).  I am tempted to replay it now that I've had some people bug me to replay it... but I'll also be honest when I say that I remember the story a bit too well to really enjoy it the same way on a second playthrough.

Bradyon Veda- Mmm... I really don't know why they want me to replay and post on this one, since I'm pretty sure I already blog posted on it once.  It is a kamige, so I don't have any objections to replaying it that I can think of off the top of my head, but I am also uncertain of whether I really want to go out of my way to replay it just yet.

Hoshi Ori Yume Mirai- The console version of this is coming out soon, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised someone wanted me to replay this... and I actually don't have that much of an objection to doing so, as my bad mood the first time I played it ruined the experience for me. 

Muramasa- Due to the recent release of a freeware side-story for this VN, I got twelve requests for me to replay and post on this VN.  Considering that this is one of my favorites, I again have no objection to replaying it.

Mirai Nostalgia- This is the game that pushed Purple Software from a mediocre to a truly great VN-maker.  I still remember being stunned at the massive gap in quality between this and their previous games, and it is the reason why I played Hapymaher immediately upon its release rather than waiting until after I played something else.

The Baldr Sky series- Since the possibility of this series coming over here got raised again, I've had forty-seven requests to go back and play this series again (almost all of them when I dropped into IRC for a few minutes on a whim).  I honestly think it is a bit too soon for me to go back and replay this, though I might consider it after I've played Baldr Heart, which comes out next month (but I'm not really sure about).

I'd be glad to hear your thought on hatsuyuki, i loved that game ˆˆ

I'm also interrested in your opinion on floral flowlove (i'm not sure i'll play it), a friend of mine is playing it already, but he tend to like charage/moege a little too much lol.

Waiting for baldr heart too

Mmm... my past impressions of Hatsuyuki Sakura are that it was a great game overall but didn't really do justice to some of the heroines/some of the routes were fragmented.  Shirokuma's route in particular was an abortion, if I recall correctly. 

Floral Flowlove is going nicely, so far... I chose to do Adelheit's route first, and I find it pretty amusing with some nice emotional moments.  I love the protagonist's self-hate.  I have a thing for self-hating protagonists with dark/twisted pasts and an intensely protective side.  It sucks when the protagonist is just a normal idiot who has no business being at the center of a proto-harem, lol.

Oh, and Adelheit is... fairly unique as heroines go.  I literally have never encountered a lazier heroine.

Yep hatsuyuki had some flaws obviously, heroines and the mood of the game are what i loved about it. Maybe i'm a bit biased with this game (must have been my 2nd vn in japanese if i remember right).

Shirokuma was the weakest of all routes indeed, and aya was the best (for me ˆˆ)

 

What i'm afraid with floral flowlove is the religious theme.

I heard it was a pretty proeminent theme in this game by my friend, he's not too far into it,  i'm not too fond of these things when they go on and on about the greatness of god ˆˆ.

I love things like the sister in sorcery jokers though :makina:

And i agree about the dark past + intense protecting side (self-hating, not that much, but i don't mind, it can be good too). That remind me i still didn't finished vermillion (it's stalled at about 50/60% of the third route) and muramasa that i stalled in ichijou's route (due to being too much of a hard read, i'll finish it when i'll have more experience reading japanese complex stuff)
