CookieOnFire Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Prototype has announced that it will release the VN game FLOWERS for the PSP and Vita on 10/7. The game tells the story of girls going to an all-girls Christian school, about their love and friendship. So yes, it's pretty much a yuri game. The catch phrase seems to be 女の子を好きに為ったらいけないんですか?(Is it so wrong to have feelings for girls?) ¡Ö¾¯½÷Ʊ»Î¤ÎÎø¤Èͧ¾ð¡×¤ò¥Æ¡¼¥Þ¤Ë¿ø¤¨¤¿É´¹ç·Ï¥ß¥¹¥Æ¥ê¡¼ADV¡ÖFLOWERS¡×¤¬PS Vita/PSP¤Ç10·î9ÆüȯÇä - 4Gamer.net I'm not a fan of the genre, but I really like the art http://www.4gamer.net/games/265/G026577/20140718009/TN/003.jpg I may preorder the game, since it sounds like they did a great job with the characters.

orthmann Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 A christian school setting with yuri and "flowers".... so it's a Marimite game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubzy Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Artwork looks cute Could be a good read! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieOnFire Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Well, the original PC version was for all ages, so there won't be anything inappropriate And Furuba, doesn't the art look a bit like the Atelier games? Also, the maker is Innocent Grey, and they did stuff like Kara no Shoujo (people say it's a GREAT game) on the PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt the Dog Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I thought this was for Flower, the game by thatgamecompany before I noticed it was in the JP Games subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubzy Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 And Furuba, doesn't the art look a bit like the Atelier games? Resembles the Arland trilogy's artwork (particularly Totori/Meruru's artwork more than Rorona's), probably why it's so likable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieOnFire Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Yes, my thoughts exactly. And speaking of Arland, the girl with long black hair in the center, she is voiced by the seiyuu for Totori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubzy Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Welp, although Totori's JP voice can sound like chalk on a black board after a while from what I remember (how can someone stay so high pitched for whole sentences?!) this game seems in need of owning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieOnFire Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Yeah, not that big of a fan of Totori's voice, but the seiyuu is usually very soft-spoken and her voice is good for the soul Totally have a voice Fetish for Rorona though Anyway, definitely preordering a copy of this game when it becomes available According to Amazon reviews, the PC version was very well-received, and the BGM are amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubzy Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I assume she won't be doing a Totori-like voice here anyway so I'm sure she'll provide a good lead role It's kinda unusual to hear a VN has a good soundtrack (except White Album it seems ) because you're not really focusing on it much XD But the more we talk about FLOWERS, the more I'm interested. Can't derail can't derail can't derail can't derail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieOnFire Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Here's the official website: FLOWERS The one I'm talking about is in the very center in the characters page, so clicking on her portrait will lead you to the page that you can listen to voice samples. Actually, the best VNs have great soundtracks, and that's also a huge reason why they're above the rest. Sound is a major element of games that only have text and images pretty much. Shimotsuki Haruka is also involved in the album (you know who that is, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubzy Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Yeah, her voice is very soft and much easier to listen to than Totori XD I suppose you're right in which case. And yeah, I mainly know her for her Atelier/Ar tonelico fame, but she's done music for all sorts of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieOnFire Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Well, Totori IS still a kid in her own game I think she sounds more mature and her voice is softer as a result in Meruru. There is also an element of mystery in the game, with people disappearing from the school it sounds like Man, the more I talk about it, the more I want the game hahaha. Can't wait XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubzy Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Good to hear She does sound mature in what I've played of the alchemy trio's scenario in Rorona Plus/Shin Rorona. Can't believe Meruru's been shelved here for over half a year now, I just want to play it at the perfect time with no interruptions Mystery with yuri romance, sounds like the perfect combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fubzy Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I agree, I really like the OP theme! Very pretty artwork, the OP kind of reminded me of Atelier Ayesha/Shallie's opening with the flowers and lighting effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieOnFire Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Although I'm sure you won't find the kissing scenes in said Atelier openings And I especially like the piano/violin BGM in the second video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubzy Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Atelier yuri It does sound like a very promising soundtrack, I now see what you mean about VNs and OSTs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orthmann Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Just played the demo, the art-style is extremely beautiful indeed as also the decorations for the dialog box and such. The soundtrack didn't strike me as exceptional, but as others VNs the songs are very nice and fit the mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieOnFire Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Yeah, I saw that there was the demo, but I was too lazy to download The thing with VN BGM is that they tend to not stick out in the beginning, and will usually start to become really good as you listen to them over and over again. At least that's the way things are with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If orthmann says it's beautiful, then it must be really freaking beautiful And yeah, you need to listen to some tracks to really appreciate them, I had to with Silence is Mine from DOD3. I know it's not a VN but you get the idea. Also, how can you download if the demo I assume is PS Vita download only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieOnFire Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 My god it's the first time I heard him compliment a game!!!! The site I linked to you was for the original PC version, so the demo is for the PC obviously Since they just announced the port to PSP/Vita yesterday, no site has been created yet for the ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orthmann Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) The demo is very short anyway. I know what you mean (brainwash lol )... the songs are great, it's still playing as the demo is still running in background. I just mentioned that for my subjective point of "hear" they don't stand out over other VNs, which as I mentioned usually do have great BGM. If orthmann says it's beautiful, then it must be really freaking beautiful Also, how can you download if the demo I assume is PS Vita download only? How do you know if my music-wise taste goes the same way as my game taste? I can be totally wacko on music tastes ...and yes, is the PC demo.

CookieOnFire Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 The only instance of me ever liking a VN BGM the moment I heard it was あの頃のように in White Album remake. Have never experienced something like that ever since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
