An assignment I did for my Business Management class during Foundation. My team decided to create an organization plan for a cafe named Erinnern (o7o)/
I have never expected to actually write one of these game reviews, but I really can't help it because I am extremely hooked on this game and for the longest time ever, I am actually planning to finish it.
Also I'm playing the Japanese version - but lately I heard that Aksys Games released the English version so you can check that out as well.
Reason number one on why I play otome games in the first place is usually because of the voice actors (which my friend quoted as my 'not so subtle obsession') and I remembered that the first otome game I played was RE:Alistair. It's a free otome game that was released for the PC Engine which was pretty interesting.
Later then, I got introduced to a lot of otome games through videos of events like Otomate Party, and sites such as fuwanovel and such. I got better in my Japanese reading skills by then, and the Norn9 anime release was decided.
I had been a fan of otome game-based anime for quite awhile, so I was really hyped up for it. More than anything the visuals are already so good I actually did a whole research upon the series and was so excited when I found out that a continuation called Norn9 Last Era is in the making.
So I tried playing the game.
ANIME ADAPTATION
For those saying that the anime adaptation is too fast-paced etc. you should really play the game to actually say anything. Norn9 game is perfect - the BEST THING EVER, and it's really, really NICE. The anime turned out as it is because it's way beyond possible to actually fit nine routes in an entire anime.
The scenery in the anime was EPIC though. You can't see those in the game. They practically designed every inch and corner of Norn, which deserves more than just mere credit.
CHARACTERS
What's nice about Norn9 is the fact that there is actually THREE heroines to choose from with three different personalities. Each heroines has THREE possible routes, which sounds more realistic than having one heroine with 12 guys falling in love with her at the same time (*cough* Brothers Conflict *cough*).
Though the heroines all have the basic heroine personalities - the cute Koharu, the silent Nanami and the confident Mikoto - what's great about them is the fact that their character development is super good. By the end of the game, each of the character will have a different personality entirely and it's just so adorable I can't even-
Also did I mention that even the heroines are VOICED in this game? Their voice acting is really, really good, and it gets you so into the game and plot of the story.
I sort of want to throw stuff away from my laptop, but it'll be such a waste to erase these scripts that I worked on and so I decided to post them here instead.
Assalamualaikum w.b.t dan selamat petang saya ucapkan kepada Kak Shira ,
selaku juri pertandingan dan kepada semua yang sudi hadir pada hari ini. Nama
saya _______________, selaku emcee anda dan saya ucapkan selamat
datang ke Penghayatan Ramadhan Pitching. Baik, sebelum kita mulakan apa-apa
aktiviti, saya ingin menjemput saudara Asyraf untuk mengetuai bacaan doa bagi
memberkati majlis. Dipersilakan.
Amin. Baik, jadi sebelum kita teruskan, izinkan saya memberi sedikit
pengenalan tentang apa sebenarnya aktiviti pitching ini. Penghayatan Ramadhan
Pitching merupakan satu aktiviti kolaborasi antara Rakan Usrah UniMy bersama
SRC dengan objektif utama untuk memberikan info atau idea kepada orang lain
untuk menerapkan nilai Islam dalam kehidupan.
Tentatif aktiviti yang akan kita akan buat
dimulakan dengan pembentangan daripada dua kumpulan yang setiap satunya terdiri
daripada dua orang. Setelah pembentangan oleh kedua-dua kumpulan selesai, kita
akan berikan sedikit masa untuk penilai mengira markah dan seterusnya, kita
akan teruskan dengan sesi pemberian hadiah.
Menerangkan lebih lanjut tentang
sesi pitching, setiap kumpulan diberikan masa 20 minit untuk menyelesaikan
pembentangan dengan topik Penghayatan Ramadhan. Sepanjang sesi pembentangan dua
loceng akan dibunyikan iaitu pada 10 minit pertama dan setelah 20 minit
berlalu. Bunyi loceng yang kedua menandakan pengakhiran sesi pitching bagi
setiap kumpulan. Markah akan diberikan mengikut beberapa kriteria yang berbeza,
maka setiap kumpulan dinasihatkan untuk berusaha sebaik mungkin untuk mengikuti
kriteria-kriteria yang telah ditetapkan bagi mendapatkan markah yang tinggi.
Setelah penerangan yang agak panjang lebar tadi, kini tiba masanya untuk kita menjemput para peserta kita ke hadapan. Tanpa membuang masa lagi, dipersilakan kumpulan pertama kita yang terdiri daripada saudari Ain Najwa dan saudara Mohd Asraf.
