Really? Really! really wins. Really? Really!

JLPT is just tomorrow. I spent today revising my grammar and doing practice papers, really… OK, so I am lying. The reality is, I have been playing Really? Really! non-stop and it has me really hooked.

You should know how much I really hate Kaede, so it would seem really strange for me to like a game that is based on her Shuffle! ending. But really, Really? Really! is really a really, really good game. Really, if I could stop myself from inserting “really” into every other word, I’d be able to really tell you just how good Really? Really! really is…

Here are some samples of its (really) awesome power.

Koi no Mikuru’s legendary trademark line delivered by Kaede pretending to be Momiji (her mother), voiced by Yuko Goto who is also the voice behind the magical high-school waitress girl from the future. Just brilliant.

nazo wa subete toketa!
nazo wa subete toketa! jicchan ga shi ni kakete!

Rin apparently watched one too many episodes of Kindaichi Shounen. The original line by Kindaichi is “nazo wa subete toketa! jicchan no na ni kakete!” or “I have solved the case! I swear in the name of my grandfather!”. Rin’s line reads, “I swear by my grandfather’s life!”

Really, I’m enjoying this game way more than I thought I would. It’s absolutely hilarious and the gameplay system is refreshingly unique. Also, Asa-senpai with long hair = RABU! I’ll post a complete review after I’m done with the game.

P.S. It seems that the game has only ONE path. Quite a surprising (and in a way ingenious) design for an eroge.

P.P.S. Mayumi with breasts.

    one path? meaning that it has choices that ends you up with the same path whatever your choose or that it doesn’t have them like Higurashi?

  2. DarkMirage says:

    It doesn’t have paths at all. Either you win the game or you lose.

  3. Rift says:

    It’s more like a mystery/puzzle game than anything else… based on how it plays out, where you slowly go through different events in the past, it wouldn’t make much sense if you could get multiple endings…

    …that being said, while the game only has one ending, it’s still rather inconclusive who Rin ends up with, even though the game is completely Kaede centric.

    Some really, really bad puns there. I know its really nice spamming the phrase “Really? Really!”, but this post really takes the cake xD.

    KAEDE PWNS YOUR ASS. OK BACK TO STUDY.

    I really really love “Ageless love” ! :3
    Arg… Quick… The OST kudasai ! ~_~

    Man… I’m really really surprised to see that you really really played this game even with a really really important exam hanging on your head.

    I really really wish you luck with your really really important exam ;).

    Also, I really really need to start playing Really? Really! for the really really awesome part of seeing Kaede in mahou shoujo. And Mayumi is really really awesome with her glasses, though I really really wish they’d kept her really really flat chest instead.

    P.S. I really really overused the phrase “really really” in this comment.

    Ok, enough with the “really”ing. REALLY!

  9. I feel like a dumbass for not knowing Japanese yet still paying 100+ dollars for this. Oh well.

  10. Myssa Rei says:

    Really? Really is definitely the Kaede-centric game to the Shuffle! ‘sequels’, in as much as Tick? Tack! is to Nerine’s ending.

    Oddly enough, while Kaede is the focal point of Really? Really, there are a ton of other H Event CGs in it, including Primula, Asa, and their homeroom teacher.

    I guess Rin can’t resist keeping his you-know-what loyal to one girl, huh?

  11. SnakeLegend says:

    This is the best Shuffle! title ever from Navel yet.
    i’d hope Oretsuba would be the same as well.
    nice screenshot, nice panty shots etc…
    i couldn’t wish for better.
    Shuffle! ftw.

    Exam starts in 2.5 hours time.

  13. Thunderance says:

    Well you do get to choose whether Asa-senpai gets long hair or short hair at the end of the game…

  14. Zer0 says:

    Are there any hardcore images in this game?

  15. Doraneko says:

    Just finished JLPT2 few hours ago. The papers on reading and vocabulary are pretty easy. But the listening part… Uh… The exam hall broadcasts the recording via the earphones provided and the large speakers on the walls. The sound is quite “hollow” with echoes though, due to the large size of the hall. Having the earphones on is even more unclear . I would be glad if I could get over 60% on the listening part. >_

  16. Yyi says:

    I have just…gotten hold of…the CGs, complete with nekomimi long hair Asa. Mmmm….
    Somehow I feel that Kaede has a bit too little H-scenes considering the fact she’s the main character of the game, the rest of the girls get their fair share of lovin’ from Rin too.

    P.S. Some ‘Pheonix Wright’ references present.

  17. Don’t forget Detective Conan.

  18. Shin-Getter says:

    I wonder what the hell is kaede thinking….it is her memory world we are talking about right. Maybe kaede really is dai-hentai desu….

  19. DarkMirage says:

    I think we all knew that Kaede is a closet nymphomaniac.

    How do I purchase games from overseas? Forgive me for being ignorant but I am really do not know how to make that purchase.

  21. sagematt says:

    >> P.P.S. Mayumi with breasts.

    Oh Lord NO!
    And sagematt said unto them: “Render unto Asa (or Nerine) the things that are kyonyu, and unto Mayumi the things that are peta*”.

    Seriously, Mayumi + boobs = t3h no. I’d keep her with that DFC anytime.

    I’ve done a review of the game as well – click on my name and navigate to the reviews section and you’ll find it there.

    This is the BEST game that Navel has ever done, and one of the best of the season so far!

    Now we just have to hope that Navel do an about turn on their decision to stop doing more games based on Shuffle! and release a game based on Asa/Ama/Kareha/Tsubomi!
