Tayutama 2 or Sen no Hatou?

A simple question, with the poll closing at the stroke of midnight Monday morning US Central time.  Which VN do you want me to play first?  Honestly, there is no chance whatsoever of me playing anything else before at least one of these two, so feel free to make your decision based on which you are most interested in.

For those who aren't aware of the games:

Tayutama 2 is the direct sequel to the original game, based off of Mashiro's ending as canon.  The main heroine is one of Mashiro's Tayutai followers and it is based fifty years after the original.  Those who have read the original will have certain knowledge about the future past this point, but I don't think it is directly relevant in this case. 

Sen no Hatou is August's latest game.  I don't know if anybody here ever pays attention to my comments on this company... but in my mind this company represents both some of the best and worst aspects of high-budget VN makers... their VNs tend to start well, be interesting in the middle, and flop flat on their faces at the end.  This applies to all of the VNs I've played by this company, and it is the reason why I don't list any of their VNs amongst my top fifty, despite their visual and narrative quality.  To be blunt, the ending portions of their VNs are almost inevitably... weak even if you include the climax.  So, left to my own devices I probably would have put this VN off until I could read a few reviews and see whether I should go in with high expectations or not.  However, this VN is the most hyped one for the last third of the year, so I can't really justify not playing it right away.  So, it goes in as one of the two first candidates for the month.

i do pity you already in case you´re going for senmomo, which is because the route-structure does +- follow the same principles as eustia´s did - a thing you´ve been rather "fond" of ..., the aforementioned idol-related stuff, non really fitting its setting aside (personal opinion)

I'm curious about sen no hatou, i didn't have time to play at all these last 3 weeks, it could be good to have your insight on this game.

I'm hoping for another eustia actually (but i'll belive it when i play it lol).

I'm hoping it won't flop on its face like Eustia did at the last... also, weak heroines are weak.

partly prepare for the worst :P but on the other hand, re-lief & dxd should be out after you´ve seen through senmomo to make up for it.

Ahah, i saw this coming ˆˆ.

Fair enough,  the main heroine was weak, i admit it.

But the game was really good overall imo, best part was the 4th arc.

 

Also about tayutama, i heard the first was a great game, but i have an allergy to lump of sugar since trying to play hello good bye, and it is said to be a better game than anything they produce now so... I'm not so confident about it being any good

I'm having trouble getting into Sen no Hatou... if only because the main heroine is so... naive.  The protagonist is likeable, but I honestly can't find it in me to like a heroine raised to rule who is so unaware of the way people think...
