I finally found the scene where Orion leaves-I don’t remember if it was the anime or game but I teared up too. 😂 He was honestly my favorite character. Lol.
I enjoyed your breakdown and analysis of Amnesia and the self insert protagonist. I agree that by playing a character that isn't self insert allows you to enjoy another person and not focus on yourself. Also loved your face expression when you turned to the camera while you were editing. 🤣🤣🤣
@@LinLinLavender I'd have to say I enjoy both an original protagonist and self insert protagonist. It just depends on my mood and whether I want to be the protagonist or read about the protagonist if that makes sense. 🤷🏾♀️
I definitely enjoy the mystery aspect of the game more than the heroine or romance parts (at least in the one route I did so far lol), I feel like that abundance of choice and feeling of suspense are definitely what makes the game stand out a lot. The heroine is also not super my style as I prefer like you to find commonality with a character rather than her just not having much of a personality. Even though she's made for self inserting she never really felt like "me" either for some reason, she just felt like a weird silent girl who goes with the flow of everything xD
I also think it's a game to play for the mystery, though I actually enjoyed the romance in Ikki's and Kent's story 😍 Oh no 😂 yes it's hard to give the player so many choices you can really be you Guess you have to talk to the screen or something Interesting you also prefer to identify with a character!
Amnesia was the second otome game I played. It always felt eerie but I didn’t know why. What you broke down makes total sense! I usually don’t self-insert but she really is a blank slate. I got it on switch so I’m excited to play it again!
Like I said in the Discord I completely understand why this game was so popular and is considered a classic. I know for a fact had I played this when it came out I would have loved it. But I played it last week so it just wasn't my thing. I couldn't get into the mystery of the game because it just didn't feel like a mystery to me and I just really got annoyed by the constant ".... Uh" type of responses. I know what purpose these things serve so I just accept its not for me. Like this was a pretty groundbreaking game but I've played newer games that give the same feel of the routes in this game in a more satisfying way which usually happens to those that are the first. I'm just glad I got to play with others in the Discord which made it more fun.
I feel the same! It was groundbreaking a few years ago, but after that other games probably even copied the concept and that's why we already feel familiar with it? So I also tend to like newer games better And yes, the heroine wasn't for me either
10:15 LOL, wishing to become a bug before he screams in a kiss scene. THANK YOU for including this, and all your thoughts, before I blithely went into this game blind. 😅 I think I'll skip it. Excellent use of that cat footage in the intro. 🥰🐾🐱
I think Nameless ~ The One Thing You Must Recall ~ sort of uses a parallel world idea, except it's closer to... a time loop? Whatever is was, it was done super well!
I guess Cheritz did a similar thing in Mystic Messenger where they hint in the title song that one of the characters knows that you replay the game for different routes, but it's more obscure?
Awesome video!!! Interesting point about the self insertation in otome games, it is very interesting. And very interesting point about the interactivity and affection meters in the game WHOA TOWAWARE NO PALM sounds kinda terrifying The vibe of Amnesia was pretty awesome. I felt like a second Orion helping the mc when playing
Thank you so much! 💖 Toraware no Palma is terrifying 😅 still haven't finished a route Right? The vibe of Amnesia is so unique! That's also cute 😊 another Orion
I was thinking about buying the game (because Steam winter sale XD) and well, the way you put the silent heroine is interesting. I prefer VN with a protagonist with voice (I think a VN tries to tell a story and I'm just a kind of external force that makes the protagonist do things) but I'll try with Amnesia and its silent MC. And well, I wanna know how are those bad endings hahaha. Nice video.
He’s a very handsome and flirtatious character from the anime Uta No Prince Sama. Or UtaPri for short. The show is very fun and a boy band idol anime. 🥰
I would love it if you added subtitles to your videos, I have auditory processing disorder and have difficulty understanding the spoken word, especially certain accents! I love otome and visual novels!
I beat this game a while back, really loved it. It might be one of my favourite otome games now, but I don't think it was "perfect" per se. It definitely had a big impact on the genre, it's quite unique for what it tries to achieve and most characters are well written. However some of the drawbacks that really frustrated me is the utter passivity of the heroine in most situations(cough cough toma's route), the plot conveniences that only get brought up when the drama needs to come to an end and the very much misogynistic subtext in some parts (Ikki's route especially).
Lmao just bought the game (it's been years since I played it first so it's like a whole new experience lol) and I'm so frickin excited! So as not to spoil myself, I look forward to watching this once I've completed it UwU Thanks for the reminder!~♡
1000 belts hit too close 🤣 The costume designs are so ridiculus, I love it. While playing I also kept thinking- what would be more in charachter for Kent, having all the belts as actual, functioning belts or have them all on velcro for ease of use 😅 I've watched the anime with a friend in the middle of playing and we couldn't stop laughing. The self-insertion of the game is SO HORRIBLE for the anime, it's so unnatural that everyone falls for this absolutely empty shell of a person x)
Splendid costume design 🤣 Right! He seems to be the guy to value functionality Yes, the anime really is difficult to relate to...most otome anime adaptations are empty shells 😅
I got the game but never finished it. I absolutely loved the art alot but something about it , well I assume at the time which was years ago I was looking for something a bit more romantic and this wasn't it. I learned that fact later. I remember getting some endings but the details of them all I really don't remember at all. It'd be nice to play again and see why so many people love it so so so much. I hope you make reviews on the games by cheritz. Nameless, dandelion wishes brought to you , are really good at the eerily feeling because the stories are all normal at first but then things begin to change to something else.
Yeah, if you're looking for something romantic or more nature it's certainly not the game for you, I'm also not the biggest fan Oh! 👀 As soon as I learn Korean sounds like a very interesting premise!
@@LinLinLavender they made English versions already!~☆ but I understand if you'd rather play in the original language. I only put the names of the pc versions since the other games they made like mystic messenger are mobile games, where the characters text and call you.
@@LinLinLavender yeah that's true ! Pc otome is easier because ypu don't have to worry about missing phone calls or texts from the characters. I think they get upset if you miss their calls , which is so funny to hear voice acted.
I’ve been wondering if I should buy this game for years haha. It’s become a classic at this point and a lot of people love it but I’ve also read a number of reviews that were rather negative so I’m torn. I really love the art though, it has a look that is already so nostalgic to me even though it’s only a decade old.
If you like self-inserting, yes! For me it wasn't the best game, as romance can be scarce in some routes and stays very pure and sweet and the MC is non existent instead you have Orion who talks (and screams and even blushes), which is definitely not for everyone It's short though, and quite cheap on steam But for me it's really not a must play and will be easily forgotten
@@LinLinLavender I’m not generally that into self-inserting but I might get the game in japanese on switch one of these days. I love watching your channel, I should leave my game opinions more frequently
I watched the anime and other people play the game a long time ago. Honestly I didn’t really like any of the characters. The only character I liked throughout was the narrator-yes, the pixie or whatever, lol. 😂 In retrospect maybe the reason why was because I think I like someone I can trust. But yeah, I did like the concept-the idea of someone losing their memories and everything. The plot was interesting to me. The main character, the heroine, she unfortunately was the worst to me. It’s hard to explain but even as a “self insert” it didn’t really work for me because essentially the way she reacted was not how I would have reacted. But, I guess that goes without saying because I didn’t actually like any of the love interests. I was more like, let’s hurry up and get out of here Orion.
I understand those feelings! Especially the heroine I find difficult to relate to because she's so bland... At least I liked Toma and Ikki though 🥰 But yeah, it's definitely not for everyone
9:59 love you !!!! XD this is the most important eps to me thank you for this !! yeah I like how you make the explanation !!! gosh and I know all those stuffs already horrible I already know XD ِAmnesia the 1st negative review of the game made because not many Asian players want to be Amnesia (lost memory adventure ) for themselves! but the game is SO good for self-insert player and besides the art here is THE BEST !!! and I can tell this is the 1st game I ever experience a toxic personality ( TOMAA) did I said out loud XD? well .. its still game and I didn't know there is many outside Asia happy to be Amnesia XD so ok I can't fight that XD I leave you guys in peace ahahah 5:26 and you give that kitty look is what I myself like too while playing Amnesia and not that any game if thing hit my like XD well, still as you said from begin introduction not many self insert in general unfortunately, most player worldwide see Otome as you role play the MC to pick up the perfect guy for her(MC not Player you watch only) ( this fact always make me cry that why I play otome game alone don't share it only if I find self insert community) 8:16 yes this part what make the game is the best ! and Really wish many otome game don't forget !! and this done i good scenario great time choices ! not random question make MC answer out of blue like suddenly player said HEY that not my answer !! actually after watching this video I will reconsider Playing Amnesia !! I just saw the concept and dislike it but in same time I saw many good side for self insert and what make me stop is concept really XD I don't wanna be jumped into different boy because I don't remember who was my man lead ahahah this is awkward XD hey as long its self insert allow and my choice is my success and fault I am going to vote Amnesia as the best game !! but not now till I test by myself THANK YOU BUNCH FOR THIS VIDEO I am self-insert player type two being full me in the game if you saw some game like Amnesia please suggest me ! because I like to have those experiences!
You're welcome 🥰 It really sounds like the perfect game for you now that you say it 😊 Yes, the choices are a lot of fun in this game! All mechanics work together so well I hope you enjoy Amnesia then!! Other self-insert games: I think most mobile games have self insert heroines, Toraware no Palma and Arcana Famiglia and Sympathy Kiss
@@LinLinLavender YES!! you are right I change my mind in Amnesia now !! mobile game I played so far we are 4th wall 50% unless if I find MC really interact as me in Tears of themis in Artem story (that make me worried many time reading because i am afraid I would see uncomfortable move that I didn't ask for it and MC walk by her choice :( ) OK gonna check the list of the game THANK YOU !!!!!!
@@LinLinLavender OWAAAAA the game concept you suggest me Toraware no Palm IS SUGOI!!!!! I am gonna help people to bring back their memory yeay !!! thanks
I thought amnesia is basically how a amnesiac mc would behave if tossed into the world with no memories of anything, so u don no ur prior speech manner nor habits nor personality. So i enjoyed it back when i was playing it. UNTIL! i recently played another otome game that is also with a amnesiac mc with your own choices and such BUT the choices is not so bland and is absolutely how a amnesiac mc should be done. Just cus u have amnesia doesnt mean u lost your senses to tell if something or someone is dangerous and ur common sense lol thats human borned =w= Amnesia mc be like that girl is look is looking at me with a glare, maybe i should talk to her? LIKE GURL, NO. Amnesia mc be behaving as if she don even know whats a fork and calling it dinglehopper at first glance.
As a man, I was never particularly attracted to otome games. But I started playing amnesia to improve my Japanese. It was great because of the voice acting. To my surprise I enjoyed it quite a bit lol.
@@LinLinLavender Well many otomes and VNs have fan service. I dabbled in a few. Like tokimeki memorial on DS. And other VNs. Not an otome game but I would highly recommend the Famicom detective games on switch. As they are fully voice acted with furigana.
I always cry when Orion had to leave. He is so precious. “You may forget me but I’ll never forget you, farewell.” Gets me every time. 😭
Oh no 🫂
