  1. I just noticed that in some otome titles, the main girl's portrait is shown in the corner during the game. Now, I am unfamiliar with the otome genre, so I am unsure if this only happens with English VNs, or if it can be seen in Japanese titles as well. Or maybe it also happens in other games, and I am just clueless :P. Just wondering if anyone has thoughts or insights about this. Thanks :)!

  2. Thank you all :D!

     

    Palas, we were driving a silver coupe. However, we did drive a car that had Narcissu stickers all over it :)!

    Felt great to pass the bridge where the two protagonists saw people taking photos, etc!

     

    However, the best feeling really is being able to meet an online friend who connected with me because of this game. That only made me love Narcissu even more :)!

  3. I posted this on the visual novels subreddit, but I wanted to share it with everyone here as well. Hopefully that is okay :).
     
    Here is the gallery:
     
     
    These were taken in late 2011. I do believe it is Narcissu's ten year anniversary, so I figured this is a fine time to showcase these photos!

    Narcissu was my first visual novel, and it is still my favorite to this day. After playing through the game, I wanted to discuss it with others so badly, but it was quite niche at the time, so I ended up participating in the Japanese communities. My Japanese is only average, but I just wanted to share my passion for the game with the people out there.
     
    I got to know a couple of Japanese folks who were also fans of the game. Then, in 2011, I decided to take a ten day trip in Japan. Once I told these guys about it, they were extremely friendly and proposed a meet up right away.

    One of these online friends happened to live around Kyoto. I stayed there for two nights, and the two of us took a day trip to visit the landmarks from Narcissu. We got to know each other thanks to the game, so there was no better way to spend the day.

    Even though the flowers did not blossom during October, we still made the most of our time there. We talked about scenes from the game as we passed some of the actual locations, but I will keep it vague to avoid spoilers. Though we had a language barrier, we still did our best to have a great time, and it is all thanks to this one game.

    This has to be what I love most about visual novels, or any fan community in general. It is when a game transcends being entertainment and creates friendships, even when we are in different parts of the globe. When an opportunity to meet up surfaces, there is something really precious about that.
