It’s not over yet! This next one’s from duo!
DC II is the second full game I tested for MangaGamer, and had, as it turns out, more than twice as much text. Quite a change from last time – the game had a bunch of technical problems, but translation, even though you could “feel” 3+ translators, was significantly better. Overall, testing a game was a very different experience from actually playing it. I found myself paying attention to a lot more detail then usually, comparing speech styles and formatting. I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it though…
Q: Who will you kiss?
One thing I must say about the game is that it has an amazing supporting cast. Many of you have probably read intros, but Akane, Wataru, Suginami, and the others have made DC II incredibly fun. And their voices… I can’t even remember how many times I stopped to listen to the line again. Just listen to Suginami say “Mai doushi Sakurai” (“My comrade Sakurai”), seriously. Also, where else can you get an idiotic, Lelouch-voiced best friend (who’s not an MM, that is)?
A: Both…?
As for the actual routes, the main dilemma I had was: “Otouto-kun” or “Nii-san”. Even after completing the routes, I’d say it’s still a pretty tough call. Both routes were really fun and had everything you’d expect from DC-verse – laughs, tears, magic – and much more. If I had to choose, I’d probably say Otome, though. I came to like her pretty much instantly, while Yume got to shine brightest on her own route.
Nope, not happening, Wataru.
Having finished DC is definitely not required to be able to enjoy DC II. Sure, you won’t get some references, but that won’t be detrimental to the overall gameplay satisfaction. What else can I say? Play it, enjoy it – I certainly did.

Just one additional word from me, Kouryuu: If you haven’t entered the Twitter or Facebook Giveaways yet, tonight’s your last chance ‘cuz I’m rolling the winners and contacting them at midnight tonight (EST).
Sisters can learn to share!
Maybe in one of the fandisks…. (hey a guy can dream can’t he ^_^)
this is gonna be so much fun!
hee hee
Otome looks like a completely different person with her hair tied up xd
I wonder how many of us are counting the hours till we can purchase this game.
Otome, you can be my Onee any time <3
Is it bad that she’s the biggest reason I want this game? 😡
So what time zone does this get released? I was kinda hoping I could purchase and let my download run before I went to work. Looks like that won’t be happening, oh well couple more hours won’t kill me… I hope.
The server is in the Netherlands and therefore it runs on that timezone. But that doesn’t mean it’ll necessarily go up at midnight. Probably closer to mid-day, so VERY early morning for those of us in the states.
*excitedly waiting* >_<
Rawrrrr the wait is killing me! T_T
I’m also interested in what time zone this is getting released. I have a feeling I’ll be playing it on Christmas day in front of family and friends. 😛
the timezone is probably EST (currently 10PM)
“I’m rolling the winners and contacting them at midnight tonight (EST).” <- from the main post
Thanks mate. Must have missed that part when I read it >.<
It is now 12:05EST Dec. 24, still not up…
>>But that doesn’t mean it’ll necessarily go up at midnight.
1 AM, still nothing…
Eh, he did say in an earlier post “mid day” and “VERY early in the morning”. In my mind, anyway, it’s still night. Then again, the day has changed. Blah. The waiting game continues.
Glad to see I’m not the only one waiting for this to release. Just want to start this DL before I crash out.
xD I’ll be doing the same. This is the latest I’ve been up for awhile. Thank goodness for caffeine.
Dang I wanted to try it before I went to sleep. at least I know It’ll be here when I get home from work tomorrow.
Add me to the camp that’s really excited to pick up DC2 later. I doubt it will come up before I hit the hay in a bit, but I’ll be glad knowing I can snag it once I get home from family gatherings tomorrow. Been awaiting this one!
Released, just bought my copy.
