Can't believe it's been a year since this gem was released on the Switch. Favorite moment in Emio? Favorite moment in FDC in general? Favorite FDC character that isn't one of the protagonists? Favorite FDC in general? Favorite music theme? Hopes for the future of the series? My personal hopes is that we'll eventually get an FDC anime at some point.

>>719337017>>719339287Had to bump to make sure the thread didn't die before I post.>Favorite moment in EmioEither the ending or dicking around that one area before you go to the bar.>Favorite moment in FDC in generalNot really a "moment" but just the overall comfy vibe of 80s Japan, and talking to random people. Some of my strongest memories of TGWSB was just talking to random people at the school. That and Ayumi's 20 heart confession at the end of the game. Ayumi is cute!>Favorite FDC character that isn't one of the protagonistsProbably Dice. He's chill.>Favorite FDC in generalThe Girl Who Stands Behind>Favorite music themeDefinitely the end credits of TGWSB, I still listen to it from time to time.>Hopes for the future of the seriesAnother game, which we'll probably get since MAGES is in financial debt and this is the most successful series they've done. Also, Ayumi dating sim in the next game or Ayumi in Smash 6.>My personal hopes is that we'll eventually get an FDC anime at some pointWell based on the end of Emio we could, which would be awesome!
Ayumi should be in Smash Bros but.......Nintendo will not allow Mario beat the shit out of School girls.That's the reason Fatal Frame 5 main girl was also not playable.It's really sad.
Is it a continuation of the snes ones or just a spiritual sequel sort of thingstill have them on my backlog for jp learnin
>>719340584Wait what? Is that real? Anyway, if Mario can beat up the Xenoblade girls and Peach, I don't think they'd care that much.>>719340609Direct sequel to the SNES ones, which was a remake of the prequel to the first game. There's also remakes on the Switch which came out before Emio, and the MC's design is based on the remake. I'd day to play both the SNES one and the remakes.
The Investigation themes are always so good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PBruKpUTbQ>>719340609Direct sequel.
>>719340584>>719340885seems like bullshit, because thats the memed reason given for kiryu yakuza not being in, they dont want him fighting women. the fatal frame girl was an assist because her camera is her main thing. which makes for a good assist gimmick
>>719337017Alright OP you made this thread for me so let me post in it so you can feel better.>Favorite Moment Emiothe OVA at the end, along with the love confession flashback>Favorite moment generalin general how its set in the 80's so it allows aspects and ideas that would be much easier to solve these days but back then would be a real challenge(like the cell phone stuff)>Favorite side characterDaisuke solely because of KENN's voice actor, but Tsubasa is a close second for wearing his heart on his sleeve>Favorite game in generalI'd say Emio but none of them are bad>Favorite ending creditsgirl who stands behind>Hopesanother game, ideally either one that takes place afterwards or a prequel about Utsugi, i just like the setting a lotBeing Honest, if the switch 2 doesn't have another FCDC game I might just skip buying one entirely.
>>719340401>Either the ending or dicking around that one area before you go to the bar.I'm pretty biased towards the superior friendship with Ayumi scene myself, though the ending and the extra scenario OVA are also pretty good.>Not really a "moment" but just the overall comfy vibe of 80s Japan, and talking to random people. Some of my strongest memories of TGWSB was just talking to random people at the school.Oh yes; talking to people and trying to progress is somehow very fun, especially considering the menu-based gameplay.>Probably Dice. He's chill.I hope Dice becomes a recurring character in future FDCs.>Another game, which we'll probably get since MAGES is in financial debt and this is the most successful series they've done. Also, Ayumi dating sim in the next game or Ayumi in Smash 6.Aw man, I hope they don't go bankrupt because they know how to make these games pop.Incidentally, of the three FDC games, Emio is my favorite, but TGWSB's Investigation theme is my favorite music to listen to. Also, the VAs are superb. Hiroki Takahashi was a particular highlight for me: I am extremely familiar with his loud and proud Harima Kenji and Street Fighter Ryu, so his portrayal of Minoru absolutely floored me. He really knocked that one out of the park.
>>719342612>Aw man, I hope they don't go bankrupt because they know how to make these games pop.Someone else should correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure MAGES was insolvent back in 2022 (not necessarily bankrupt but close to it). I think they got out of it through some shenanigans, so they should be fine for now.
Why can't the protag keep it in his pants?
I read this when it came out and found it to be a huge letdown. This is the only Famicom Detective game I've read btw.
>>719347143Because it's a funny trope.
>>719340584>Nintendo will not allow Mario beat the shit out of School girls.Cite a source for that claim, as I have never heard of this.
>>719340584>...Nintendo will not allow Mario beat the shit out of School girls.Inklings.
>>719342107Yoshio Sakamoto has practically all but confirmed it due to him finally breaking out of his writer's block and his new assistant/cowriter helping in them out, and the main dev team of Mages is more than willing due to how passionate they are about the series and FDC being by far their most successful and profitable work as of late.I say we'll be getting a new game every 3 years, so the next one will be around 2027.
>>719349830just gotta survive two more years for another hit then, hopefully that'll be no problem, gives me motivation to try harder.It's going to be really sad if there's no other reason to buy a switch 2 for that long but i can live without it lol.
>>719337017Do you think we'll ever get the FDS versions of the original duology translated? I noticed there's been a bit of a boom in FDS English patches lately.
I liked both Switch remakes, will I like Emio?Is it more supernatural bait or more mystery?
>>719347143Because she is lovely!
>>719351167It's more of the latter, though mentions of the supernatural and occult is present due to Emio having entered into urban legend by the time the story begins.
>>719351167It's more FDS, so if you liked the remakes you'll like this. It leans more into doing actual detective work this time though.
>>719340401Dice won so fucking hard
>>719351167Emio is slightly more on rails but chances are you won't get completely stuck on a section, It felt like a natural sequel to the remakes.
>>719347143The power of jimiko
>>719341159I really liked the remixed soundtracks, but the SNES version will always have a special place in my heart.https://youtu.be/JoMRHLyfhg0?list=RDJoMRHLyfhg0
>>719351030Probably the only time I messed around with rom hacking years ago.Hopefully someone releases a translation someday.
>>719341159For me, it's the FDS version of FDC1's investigation theme.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn6Xp5h90FE
>>719352575>>719353859Ayumi's theme is also really good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVkwxuXC_Qshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRVyHuVkV3shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w_9wRsL_5cAyumi herself would listen to a song with a bit more metal in it though.
>>719354328Ayumi's theme kicking in during Emio was great, they picked a great moment for it.
>>719354328What sort of 80s J-Metal would Ayumi be listening to?
>>719337017>Favorite moment in Emio?when the credits rolled and it wasnt over
>>719345160insolvency means that their debts are just more than what they can afford to pay back. They're also a subsidiary in the first place so its not like its game over if they run out of money. They probably just got smacked by the parent company. So they just laid off a ton of people and cancelled a bunch of projects (rip steins gate 0 elite?). They are remaking Steins Gate again though so they'll be fine for a while
>>719347143protag is supposed to be you question iswhy didin't YOU keep it in your pants
>>719356761Because the protagonist is actually very fun and cool as a character.
>>719356761Because the policewoman is too cute
I hope they make more of these games, they basically just need to write a script and hire some voice actors
>>719337017>Favorite moment in Emio?Probably either the OVA at the end about Emio and Emiko or alternatively the MC trying to compete with senpai by showing him that photograph of Ayumi in middle school.
>>719357590>Show>Superior friendship with Ayumi
