A School Life Otome Reincarnation Role-play [OOC thread]

[Nahrenne]

@Leegood

Hello its me I want to make some suggestions for the game?... If its alright?

Since its a Otome game settings

I want to introduce a player Alignment A.K.A Routes

when there is a certain Event scene with the Heroine, or at least important scenario or maybe also other players. The players is allowed to have 4 different type of action they can roleplay as they see fit? Which will effect their over all reputation on the Magical Academy

For example:

Miss Heroine is in the school Garden... She seems lost and confused.
​

1.) Ignore her (Mob choice) [mob point + 1]
2.) Tell her the right way (support choice) [support point +1]
3.) Approach her & guide her way(friendship choice) [friendship point + 1]
4.) Approach her & insult her (Villain choice)
[Villain point + 1]

Or
​

Example

You see Certain Cute commoner A is carrying a basket of freshly baked breads... But she is being chased by street dogs.
​

1. Look at her & go on your way (Mob choice mob +1)
2. Call for help (Support choice support +1)
3. Save her!! (Friendship choice friend +2)
4. Post it on Instagram!! (Villain choice Villain+2)

​

Now every player will have 3 or more types of alignments route they can choose to act at only in event scenario or quest.
a mob choice
a friend choice
a Villain choice
a support choice

Each action you take you'll have a points which will determine your relationship to that Character or perhaps Heroine too which also effect your school reputation wherever your known for being kind & benevolent or infamous for being a hoodlum.

Then if the alignment of the player on the a specific Character is high enough for example if friendship goes lvl10 then they can grow from stranger relationship to acquaintance relationship then it can up to Friends relationship & higher. But ONLY ON THAT SPECIFIC CHARACTER you have a high lvl relationship.

Then the player can change alignment route if they want on certain Characters. BUT in order to lose alignment route point in certain Character.
For example you're tired of playing friends with 'Character A' then you can just simply choose a opposite choice and start antagonizing or ignoring 'Character A' & by doing so, equal to the points you get by choosing such action will then minus the point in route opposite to it.

Friendship choices effect Mob.
(Cuz if you Approach and be good with a character you cannot just be strangers)

Mob choices effect Villain.
(Cuz if you simply ignore you're not antagonizing a character)

Villain choices effect friendship.
(Cuz if you do bad stuff & insult or harm a character you cannot be friends)

Support choice effect no one.


This is just a suggestion feel free to just ignore it. I somehow hope some idea helps to shape the game. but if its confusing pls just ignore it XD

I can see what you're getting at but then what about the free roleplay thread?
How would this route thing work for there?

What I see is that for example because you choose to be a kind Character by going at friendship choice.

You will be known as a benevolent Character in the school in the Roleplaying thread you can just add it up on your own on your personal roleplaying of course you can add things like plot twist like you're kindness is just a facade.

Since what this route effects is only your Character relationships on some specific Character & reputation on the Academy & Not your Character owns personality by any means.

....or something like that?

Hmm...
...I honestly don't know.
I've never really played an otome game so (unless you count Hatoful Boyfriend), so I don't really know what kind of game mechanics are normal.
'-'
My only 'experience' with them is JNs that have the MC reincarnated as a character in one - but then there aren't game mechanics in that so...I'm a little blind with this.

I played a few Otome long ago and I became addicted on reading otome game reincarnation LN back when I'm just starting out reading novels..... What I notice is that MC always have reputation impact on the academy they all went through.... Either from a mob who became the MC of the story or the Villainess who out shine the main Heroine and created a reverse harem. All of them became the most famous existence in the academy they went or the entire empire they lived.

Which allows the incomprehensible harem endings & gay ending Otome games are all well known for.

Due to her intentional late admission, lady Reciful start to join the academy lecture one week later than everyone else in the academy.

Uhm...it was a good read, so I hate to mention it, but the thing is, Classes Day 1 only started today. So if you put up a Day 8 post today, when the progression is...you get what I'm trying to say?

 

[AliceShiki]

Ah, I see.
Well, as long as you're having a good time.

Hatoful Boyfriend totally counts AFAIK! I didn't play it yet, but I never heard anyone not count it as an Otome Game! ^^)/

There were no numbers for anything to keep track of.

First day in Academy

Due to her intentional late admission, lady Reciful start to join the academy lecture one week later than everyone else in the academy.

Due to such, it cause a little commotion. Creating a slight noises within the lecture hall when suddenly, she a new student who no one knows about pop up out of nowhere.

fortunately it did not became such a big deal as the disturbance immediately changed & became curiosity.

They are plagued by questions.

Who is that student?
Where she came from?
Why did the academy famous for its strictness allow a late admission?
Is she a high noble?
Or Is she one of those gifted commoners?
If she is a noble which family she came from?
Why she wears a hood that covers almost her entire face?

Many questions terrorized the mind of her fellow students. those who partaken the same lecture as her were tormented by such idle thoughts.

But to no avail none of their questions is left answered.

For they are nobles of various kingdoms. they upheld a high standing that represents the delicate name & pride of their prestigious family, unlike commoners they just simply can't go out their way & ask who she is & what family she came from, for it is a such a barbaric conduct for a nobility.

And Why is it so?

Cause it will be a absolute shame to not know a name of a fellow noble especially if the Mysterious hooded girl whom the academy allowed a late admission is in actually that of a high noble standing.

Unfortunately for them this world have no such tradition of introducing one self one by one on the first day of a student's class unlike the modern earth.

Not knowing the name of a noble of high standing is equal to being a incompetent blue blood, a shame of nobility.

But yet again, very very unfortunate for all of them as Lady Reciful is a noble of pure enigma unlike anything they nobles ever can imagine.

To start it all she never acted as a lady befitting of her status.

She never once participated in any gathering & party thus no one knew her visage at all, as she immediately reject one if she ever received a letter of invitation.

She doesn't socialize unlike normal nobility.

She even never hosted a party herself. she didn't even have a debut on her coming of age at all when she turned 15, all due to her Complex standing within her own family.

If Reciful carries the insignia of her family they will surely knew who she is immediately..... But once again unfortunately she currently has the hobby of dressing in a humble way she didn't bother carrying her family insignia at all.

They're all left to wonder unable to act until the lecture ends as Reciful quietly stand up & with a soft steps proceed to her next lecture leaving them all behind.

|.o)
Lee-chan established that passage of time is to be 1:1 for game days to real life days, and the first day of classes was the Monday just gone.

Good morning all! I slept so well ~

@AliceShiki , @Gaap
FFXII - Nice going on that Esper! So that part where you whittle him down to 30-40%, I get there as well, but when I do the quickening, I hardly if ever get the Holy one, or I flub up and mess the activation of the buttons. I do have a stock pile of X-Potions, and Elixirs, however I barely use them. That might be my problem. I’m definitely more of a hoarder than anything else. I like having them maxed
I think I’ll need to dust out the good old switch today and attempt him once again. I’ll let you all know my progress on that later lol

I’m gonna post for Lisette, finish her Monday. I’ll start her Tuesday stuff later this morning unless there’s something that needs to be done right away. I want to get my dailies done first, and then get some groceries for me since I’m running low on water. Blah

I shouldn’t be too long off today.

@Nahrenne
I’ll make sure to include what you gave Lisette in my Monday post as well! :D

Oh, those aren't needed to make an Otome Game! XD

Like uhn... Those are common tropes in the novels, but they aren't that popular in the games AFAIK actually (just like having a villainess isn't super common either).

An Otome Game is essentially a Visual Novel with a Female Protagonist and that has (usually male) some capture targets that you need to capture... That's basically it! Everything else may vary! ^^)/

Ah, I googled about it, and all the Quickenings are actually physical, none of them deals elemental damage... Same thing for the Super attacks (I think they're named congruences) at the end of a Quickening chain.

And in my googling I also found out that to get the Holy Congruence, you need 3+ quickenings of each level in the chain (with 4+ of each level you get the dark one though).

... You should use your items when facing a boss that stops your spells! >.<

If it helps, I used on all 3 characters a gambit of "Self: HP<50% -> X-Potion". The Elixirs I used manually as needed (usually after the boss used an invert).

Ah, I also used a Hermes Sandal on my Ashe to get perma haste, and on Penelo and Fran I used an Acessory that cut Dark Damage taken by 1/2. Those helped too~

Ah, I see.
So, otome games in novels aren't actually what otome games irl are like.
Huh.
Interesting.
