Add a save file for access to the H scenes and it might be around 90% of what is good. If you've seen the anime you've seen at least 80% of what is enjoyable over the 70+ hour experience. It's like Muv-Luv Extra in the sense that there are some enjoyable parts, however the percentage of Extra that is fun is far greater than that percentage of Kiminozo. Some of the things that are not good are more commonly known now, but if you've been waiting for years (or literally decades now that it's 20 years old) this isn't Age's first Muv-Luv Alternative-level achievement in the genre. I went into more detail in a post a few years ago when I went through the whole game. We're talking about lows far lower than the lowest low of the anime. There are multiple 10+ hour stretches where nothing pleasant happens. Unfortunately, when you jump into it 20 years later large portions of the game simply aren't fun. I understand how it got that reputation it did a lot of things that simply weren't done in 2001 and it put Age on the map as a major player. Over time Kiminozo got this reputation for being this all-time amazingly great game, but it really isn't. If it gets the same kind of treatment Kimi ga Ita Kisetsu did when it was remade a decade ago Reboot will be over 100 hours.
#KIMI GA NOZOMU PLUS#
That doesn't account for the 2 other fan disks of canon material that would probably be included as part of Reboot, plus anything new that ends up getting added. Given Age's development cycle for their AAA titles the Japanese release of Kiminozo Reboot is still a bare minimum of a year away, probably 2-3 considering how massive Latest Edition was. You can also read my review of the most recent western release by Âge, Muv-Luv Photonflowers.If they're working on it now it will definitely be Latest Edition, which is what VNDB says as well.
#KIMI GA NOZOMU UPDATE#
Today’s event was rich with announcements, including the announcement of a Muv-Luv Alternative anime, the reveal of a sequel titled Muv-Luv Integrate, an action game code-named Project Mikhail, and an update on Muv-Luv Unlimited The Day After and on the Android version of the original trilogy
#KIMI GA NOZOMU SERIES#
If you’d like to know more about Âge and the Muv-Luv franchise, you can read my article from yesterday explaining all you need to know to get into one of the best visual novel series of all time. But suddenly, when tragedy strikes, things are never the same for these four friends again. Not wanting to hurt her feelings, Takayuki agrees to go out with her.Īfter a few incidents, their relationship gets intimate, even while Takayuki and Mitsuki begin to realize their feelings for each other. Then one day, Haruka confesses to Takayuki her love for him.
Here’s a brief description of the original game from VNDB:Īt first, Takayuki Narumi is befriended by Mitsuki Hayase only because Mitsuki’s best friend, Haruka Suzumiya has a crush on him however since then, Takayuki, his pal Shinji Taira, and Mitsuki have grown to be the best of friends. Incidentally, it’s also pretty much the prequel of the Muv-Luv series itself, with quite a few of its characters appearing in Muv-Luv Alternative as well. Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is arguably the most well-known visual novel by Âge in Japan, while in the west the studio is likely better-known for the Muv-Luv series. Originally released in 2001, it launched over time for PC, Dreamcast, and PlayStation 2. If you’re not familiar with the name Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, the anime adaptation was actually localized in English with the title “Rumbling Hearts.” The studio intends to reboot the beloved visual novel that marked the beginning of Âge’s success. Today Tokyo-based developer Âge is hosting its 20th-anniversary “Still Breathing” event, which Twinfinite is attending, and they started strong with Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.
