I really like this game. i never understood why it was always so low ranked amongst other players. I also liked Ron's route its good to give antagonists routes imo.
Yay that's me at the end haha! Such a good review Lin! This game sounds like an experience and as a sci-fi fan I'm super interested. I am truly realizing that there IS variety, you just have to learn Japanese to experience it. But so glad this is getting localized so more can play.
Who is you? And glad you enjoyed the review 🥰 thanks so much for commenting and supporting me sooo much!!! If you love sci-fi you will surely love it! It's 🤯 I'm also glad this game is getting a second chance with the port! Hope more people will love it!
I love the idea of having 3 heroines and they are all voiced... is this heaven? 😇 I think I'm most excited for Mikoto, I love her vibe ✨ 7:24 unhinged charas are the best charas! 😂 9:22 OMGG that's so cool!! I've just listened to a few scenes with this chara out of curiosity and ahhh I would have never guessed, that's so impressive 😮 Wow! I'm very excited for Norn after seeing such a positive review (I was pretty excited before because of it having three heroines but I've heard many ppl complain about the game so I was unsure whether I want to play it, but now I think I'm sold lmao) 💖 Great review as always! 😉 My hype for Norn has just increased muahhahah
It is heaven! Unhinged = best 🤝 I know we understand each other Right?? She is so talented 🤯 there are girlier voices of male actors Glad I could hype you up even more! This game needs more love 😁 Thank you ❤️
This is Romantic Among Us. I think this is one of the first games that not always picking the response you think the Li will like would lead to a good ending or even a right answer. I loved this game and wished for more SO BADLY years ago. It really does feel like a short game. And the art style is so like the old anime styles from a few years ago . I have the psvita version and haven't played it in many years but I loved the menu screen when you start up the game. I could never forget that just like the start menu of code realize which I believe I played around that time. I might try to play norn9 again.
True 🤣 gonna try this as a title for the video 👉👈 It's such a neat system! I also wished more games had that I also love the art style 😍 Definitely a game with such high replay value as you can discover more details every time you play!
Im currently still gnawing through Diabolik Lovers More:Blood in Japanese, and wanted to play exactly Norn9 afterwards! This video really comes in handy now, and now Im absolutely looking forward to playing this asap ^.^
This is how I felt about Kakeru’s route too! I love Koharu’s development in the route but I didn’t fall in love with Kakeru because of how quick it felt! It maybe that’s because I played him first. I was so torn about it too 😅 Yay Masamune got sexy award ❤ I agree with your reasons! I think the glasses help too 🥰 Akito’s route was so lovely. Their love was so precious! Oh my god I had no idea Sakuya was a voice actress, it was a lovely voice! I REALLY loved the girlies friendship development and how they talk about their own respective relationships with each other.
Yes, her character development in Kakeru's route was so precious 🥺 and I think in that case you'll love the FD! Gives his character and their relationship development a bit more room Yaaaay! Masamune fan club! For how very pg13 his scenes are, they are just unbelievably hot..it's amazing 😳🔥 Right? Akito and Nanami are so delicate characters 😭 I want more Akitoooo Right? Sakuya is 🤯 found her in another game where she voices a gender bender LI, really would like to see more of this concept Right, the girls were also very cute together, though I wished for a bit more time with the girls overall - though in that case I would have probably complained I want more time with the boys 😆 Only slowly catching up with the video, are we? ;)
I remembered playing this game on PS Vita and it was amazing. I really enjoyed it. So this why I can’t wait port to Switch haha (bless you Aksys) Even with some plot issue it’s amazing and precious game for me. So I really can’t wait for Fandisc haha. My favorite thing was that even if you play one heroine route another still can fall in love and they don’t disappear from story. Girl friendship best friendship. I don’t really have favorite LI in this game but Akito and Ron are best boys. And Azuma too haha
Happy to meet another one who loved this game 🥰 I'm also enjoying the FD so far 😍 Exactly! Seeing them romance the other guys and the girl friendship is so sweet Yes, Akitoooo, I just want him to be happy 😭❤️
I'm excited for the Swtich port. I wanted to play this ever since I saw the anime but I don't own a vita. I love the idea of playing 3 heroines and the fact that they're voiced is just the cherry on top.
Oh that is you! 🤯 Thank you 🥰 I really still am surprised how much I love it Sure 😁 that's so good about his game, everyone will find their favourite character
@@LinLinLavender Yes yes the Norn9 cult preacher from Discord XD I agree I loved all the characters (well..almost) it was only a joke (or was it? 👀) this reminds me of your otome comunity video XD
a few ppl have been recommending this game to me and i was debating on picking it up on the vita until the switch port got announced a while back. I'm really excited to eventually buy it after watching your review Linlin!! Btw your editing skills are always improving, great job!💞
LOL I knew about Norn 9 because of the anime, but after only watching a few episodes of the anime, I decided to stop in hopes that the game would get an English release and it is, so yeah this game will be on my list of backlogs lol.
If among us was an otome reminds me of the Visual Novel “Gnosia” which is a game of mafia in a similar vein with an ensemble cast. And that game also has possible romance, but only with one character, with the non-binary deuteragonist Setsu. It’s also on the Switch! I’m definitely picking up Norn 9 because I loved Gnosia.
That sounds super interesting, thanks for the tip! Honestly the traitor problem is obvious very quickly though in Norn 🙈 still the characters have a lot of secrets!
@@LinLinLavender it’ll be really cool to see what the strengths of each game though! Norm 9 sounds a lil more narrative while Gnosia focuses a lil more on the mechanics of conversation and such. I’m excited to play. Especially since I think multiple heroines is a very cool idea!
Norn9 is so good!! Btw did you mean the (SPOILER) cg of ron holding the gun to his head? I always play otome games blind and getting that ending..... HOOOH boy that made me tear up hard. Also Natsuhikos amnesia plot was so disappointing that trope is just so overused
Glad you also enjoyed it!! That's the scene I meant! So scary and impactful! Right? Amnesia isn't the best plot twist -_- Any other thoughts on the sequel?
Yeees!! I feel like that ending had... so many sad implications and Norn9 OSTs is just SO good. Yeah and it was just so... out of nowhere? That's honestly the only complaint I have about Natsuhikos Route I looved the rest. I'm not that far into the sequel yet but I've finished Rons prelude & Concerto. I LOVE that you can see the perspective of the LIs honestly shows how much thought the writer has put into all the interactions! (Now I'm also interested in even if tempest...)
@@cappu7121 the OST is amazing 😭 I also liked Natsuhiko apart from that 😅 Who is your favourite character? Oh yes! It all makes so much more sense seeing the LIs perspective, it's so lovely!
Glad, You enjoyed game. 😁 I also love, when *being mean rise love stats.* Reminds me bit of Tokimeki, where guys enjoyed being chopped, or flickered in a head, sometimes, or Storm Lover Kai, where You had to chose mood mc was in, after guy said certain thing. 😜 Beside anything else, I told You(fav, You know, Akito, beloved mc, You know Nanami, beloved otome graph: You KNOW, NORN9, second beloved opening - as nothing beat sentiment of Hakuoki demon of the Fleeting Blossom psp, - You know - Melee, fav game scripter Ayane Ushio(especially after EiT being like compilation of mixing my all fav stories😅)... Funny fact is, that as You maybe know, NORN9 translation caused AKSYS massive headache. Fans ripped them for any 'dialect' missing, or wrong 'shallow translation' part. Reason why they NEVER till now in eng ported it further, than PSV. Fans were bit*hing VERY VERY much at time... But now, fans are bit*hing even MORE about switch version(I wanted to buy it last year, in JP, glad I decided on Hakuoki Shinkai Ginsei no Shou instead) so they FINALLY (probably seeing also CN attempts on translation of such popular game) gave it to us, also new person is in charge of re-translating base game. 😁 However, as in PSV version there was no mood answers, I am curious of that option. And just Your video, graph on SWITCH looks even more stunning. 💛 Glad You liked this classic game, I still hope to see if my inner bias for Kakeru can disappear, as I am curious of Masamune... And maybe I wii learn to like Koharu. As, yes. Her 'little bird voice' annoyed me SO MUCH... But I agree NORN9 heroines are VA DONE RIGHT. 😁😁😁
Yes you were so right! This game is soo good! And the writers as well 😍 Akito best boi ❤️ And the soundtrack 💕 Everything! Yes I've heard about these translation issues... wonder whether that was a reason why it wasn't popular on the vita... Oh yes I liked it a lot! Maybe the FD will make you like Kakeru more! At least I like him more after his route in the FD Koharu is just so sweet and innocent 😍 I think one as to understand, that she knows practically nothing about the world and then it's so wholesome to see her grow! Yes, all heroines are great!
@@LinLinLavender It was not TERRIBLE translation and, I enjoyed it pretty much, but, as You know, more people like something, more annoying they are about not being up to their demands. 😅 Like with Hakuoki, through some dictionary translations could kill even saint. Like 'Shogun orders' were 'orders given by Shogun' and such silly stuff. 🤷🏻♀️ But with NORN9, Akito using rather 'normal way of talking' in translation could annoy players, too. 😂
@@LinLinLavender Fans want to expirience game 'the most', I think. Sometimes to level of bothering creators. But after that NORN9 loud incident, I think more and more apels, when new game comes is 'even if You see small errors, don' t attack studio'. Only one I ever was TRUELLY annoyed with was that game about foxes in some type of band, where mc had some type of 'destiny' with them... Ayakashi Koi Gikyoku, somehow like that. This was time, when I found time to play and... Just prologue was HORROR, like thinking in shards, sometimes words were not even recognizable. Worst is, I found that time 3 weeks after buying, so I COULDN'T return it and get my money back. 🤷🏻♀️ I heard month later, after fans bad reviews, they fixed that translation, but as I was not really into game since start and lost nerves by it, I will rather NOT play it EVER again. 🤷🏻♀️ I will be curious, what game You consider as 'worst translated'. Were You able to stand it and end a game? What games was it? 🤔
@@mbuszka5295 I hope fans behave more nicely towards translators ☺️ Yes, I've heard about that little scandal... I've never played an otome in English so I have no idea
Speaking of Otome games, as you know Amnesia Memories is coming out September 20th. And I learned that there are mini games and it said that there are new dialogue choices or something. So should I wait till it comes out to write down the character routes for the new stuff? Or just write down the Character routes that are already online before the mini games were a thing?
Bold of you to assume the voice actor being a voice actress isn't a plus /joke No but I actually love male voices done by female VAs, there's even an otoge with that as its gimmick! It's called Goes, I want to play it
I really like this game. i never understood why it was always so low ranked amongst other players. I also liked Ron's route its good to give antagonists routes imo.
Right?? I'm so surprised!
Glad you also like Ron, he's just interesting!
I think it's relatively popular in Japan though? It does have a total of two fandiscs.
Yay that's me at the end haha! Such a good review Lin! This game sounds like an experience and as a sci-fi fan I'm super interested. I am truly realizing that there IS variety, you just have to learn Japanese to experience it. But so glad this is getting localized so more can play.
