Game Intro Sequence
When you first start up the game they have this opening cutscene thing. It only show up once and you will never ever see it again unless you install the game on a new device or something. It gives you an overview of the plot, so I guess it's almost like the blurb at the back of the book. And later you also have a section in the game's menu for "game overview", which provides you with similar info just in case you forgot.
I didn't think it would only show up once and I thought I could've captured it again later, so pardon the rather bad screenshots.
THE VILLAIN IS EVIL! HE WILL INVADE HELPLESS PEACEFUL VILLAGES BECAUSE HE'S EVIL!!
We aren't told yet what village the main character lives in, so I won't give it a Chronicles count just yet. For all I know the MC lives in a fictional village the story makes up just for the sake of telling us that the villain is evil.
Demon King of 666th Heaven: 1
This is a very vague information so, yes, for all we know the Oda forces really were going overboard, but this has such an obvious THEY ARE EVULZ slant to it even before explaining anything, so... I still give them that count.
Note: Oda Nobunaga is very well-known for being super harsh and aggressive to enemies, so it COULD go both ways. Sometimes he would accept enemies' surrender, sometimes he obliterated them anyway. It's case-by-case scenario, and... well... I would rescind the point if this was really an unfair move on Oda's side.
In the second pic, the second line says "These gorgeous ninjas...". Screencap fail. I apologize.
Yes... and? You plan to dazzle him to distract him from his plans? What?
I know this is a dating game and the guys are hot and sparkly and shit, but please, be more careful about context. I think a new count is necessary for awkward wordings or misplaced words:
The Art of Miscommunication: 1
This game IS originally written in Japanese by Japanese folks and even in the latest, most improved "+" version, there's still some rather whacky language fail going on in some places.
Then there are snapshots of the love interests - well, minus the villain, because in this story you can actually choose to date the villain. That's not really necessary. We'll see the guys in the prologue, and I can always show you the character profiles.
Hang on, "you"? So... the one narrating before isn't the ninja princess main character? I... uh... I can't tell if this is intentional or a typo. The narration before sounded like a first-person narrator, but now this sounds more like a second-person omniscient. It could be that the narrator is someone telling the MC stuff all along, but... ergh...
The Art of Miscommunication: 2
Not... really...? If your love interest of choice is the villain, obviously the ending would be different from the endings of the stories where you date one of the protagonists. Unless the villain romance is doomed from the get-go and no matter what you choose it will end with tragic death?
Aaand that's the end of the intro.
We already have a Demon King count and Miscommunication counts before the game even begins. Wow, congratulations.
