What is Angelique Luminarise?

Angelique Luminarise is an otome game, part of the Angelique series and the first for Nintendo Switch. It is the first new entry in the main Angelique series in 18 years. The main character is Ange (name can be changed), a 25-year-old single office worker who is beginning to feel at her limits in her third year of working life when she is chosen to become a queen candidate and taken to another world. Her rival is Reina, also a 25 year old worker from the same city. Similar to the original Angelique game, there are 9 guardians who can be petitioned for assistance, talked with, or invited or asked on dates. However, the game was updated to better reflect women of today. (stolen from Wikipedia)

the fetishization of pale skin has gotten so out of hand that they dont even make characters who like to dance and are obvious ethnic stereotypes brown anymore

Day 29

conversation (original)

アンジュ:大丈夫だよ。仕事、忙しいんだね。


> 格好良かった

> バースを思い出した

> 私も働きたい


フェリクス:僕は、今の守護性の中でも古株なほうだし、できて当然。

フェリクス:やめてくれ。あんたの愚痴を聞く気はない。

アンジュ:え?

フェリクス:あんた、25だったよな。僕と同い年だ。

フェリクス:くだらない愚痴を言うのは無意味って知らないわけじゃないだろ。

フェリクス:ぼくは、目の前のことをやってるだけ。あんたも、そうすればいい。

アンジュ:…………。(この人、顔はきれいだけど性格キツイんだな…)

フェリクス:あんた、へらへらしてれば、誰かが助けてくれると思ってるだろ。今まで、そうやって生きてきた?

フェリクス:僕は、そういうのは好きじゃない。美しくない。

フェリクス:…はぁ。まあいいや。どうせどんなに慣れ親しもうと力がなくなったら終わりだし。

アンジュ:え?

フェリクス:何でもない。…で、どうする?今日は何がしたくてここへ来た?

アンジュ:あ、うん。ええと…

conversation (translation)

Ange: It's okay. You must be busy with your work.


> You looked cool.

> It reminded me of Bath. (chris comment: what people here call Earth)

> I want to work too.


Felix: I'm one of the senior guardians; of course I can handle this.

Felix: Please stop. I don't want to hear your complaints.

Ange: Huh?

Felix: You're 25, aren't you? The same age as me.

Felix: You should know by now there's no point in voicing trivial complaints.

Felix:I just do what's in front of me. I suggest you do the same.

Ange:........... (Even though his face is pretty, his personality is pretty intense.)

Felix:You must think that if you act careless, someone will come save you. Is that how you've lived up until now?

Felix:I don't like that. It's not beautiful.

Felix:... *Sigh*. Whatever. In the end, no matter how much you get used to it, once you run out of power it's over.

Ange:Huh?

Felix:Nothing. ...Now, what will you do? You wanted to do something today that brought you here, right?

Ange: Oh, yes. Um...

*** Felix's Love Staircase has grown: 0→1

Ange: (What should I do...)

nah felix just pissed me off

context: i walked him on in talking business to some lower-ranking faceless npc

i didnt get the pic of ange saying after the choice "you look so cool when you work. on the other hand, when i... [blah blah the start of negative talk, ive forgotten by now]. i also didn't get the pic of when he says like "if this much impresses you, what kind of work did you even do on bath?"

maybe its what the devs think i needed to hear deep down or some shit. WHATEVER. i didnt want to. he has no sense of how to at least delicately phrase things at all. and i think thats not beautiful. but no one else has long hair. who do i go for now … guess ill just focus on making friends and winning this contest

now i dont think hes cool at all!!! he can take his attitude and fuck ass bangs somewhere else. clavis was not mean like this... he isnt really mean at all, hes just a little unsociable and curt.... does the name felix curse you into being the worst at phrasing advice? discuss

Day 37

context: a bunch of animals were near me at the park

conversation (original)

フェリクス:それにしても、あんた、動物に囲まれてて、すごい状態。童話の主人公みたいだ。

アンジュ:..........。


> お姫様に見えた?

> フェリクスが王子かな

> それは褒め言葉?


アンジュ:じゃあ、さしずめフェリクスが王子ってとこかな

フェリックス:だとしたら、姫がどこにいるのか 見失ってるとこだよ。

アンジュ:ここにいるんじゃ?

フェリクス:…図々しい。

フェリクス:フフ…………。

conversation (translation)

Felix: Anyways, you surrounded by animals is quite the sight. You look like the protagonist of a fairy tale.

Ange: ..........


> I look like a princess?

> Maybe you're the prince?

> Is that praise?


Ange: Then, I guess you're like the prince.

Felix: If that's true, where's the princess? Must have missed her.

Ange: I'm right here?

Felix: ... You're pretty bold.

Felix: Fufu..........


(chris comment: im tired of translating fufu as hehe. its not the same. but i dont think i can say "he chuckled" in this format. so youre getting fufu from now on.)

thats it. hes going in the incinerator

i have attached a picture of his evil chuckle for your viewing pleasure 👇🏾

Day 49

felix has been so nice the past week that it's weird

12/23/2024

Day 49

they changed up how quizzes work in park dates :o its right at the beginning of the date, and how many questions (theres 3 of them) you get right determines how long the date lasts.

for those who have never played angelique nor heard me cry about it: in the first game and is rereleases, the entire park date is a series of questions, and if you get one wrong at any time the date ends right there. if you answer all 5 correct, you get a small lore drop under the pavillion, and some lovey-dovey talk behind the tree/in front of the fountain/among the flowers.

looking back now, its crazy they put you through all that for such a small reward compared to how future park dates work, but thats just how it was... queen candidates these days dont know how we struggled...

12/23/2024

Day 55

failed the exam and potluck again. i forgot about energy drinks until the last minute and failed with one point behind reina. i could try to drink a ton this time around, but i think theres just no coming back from this. tomorrow im supposed to visit earth, so i wont reset yet

12/23/2024

Day 56

Felix: What do you want to do today? We can do whatever you want to.

Ange: Really? ... Let's go eat something good.

Ange: I'll take you to a restaurant I like. It's close to my workplace.

Felix: Ooo, I'm looking forward to learning more about your past. Let's go.

Ange: Okay!


Felix: Ooh, so this is an Earthian restaurant. It's a bit... chaotic, don't you think?

brought felix, who is being too nice, to earth with me. ("if you dont like him why do you keep going on dates with him?" because there is something deeply wrong with me.)

they said that when on earth he would change to an outfit that would help him fit in, but when we first came it wasn't showing it, so i was like "laaaame, they're cowards for not wanting to show me his clothes for fitting in; i guess the budget was too tight for more sprites, grumble grumble" but then the scene transitioned... my reaction (not ange's, but mine) made me glad im a liveblogger and not a livestreamer

Day 56

Ange: Wasn't he nervous because you're so good-looking?

Felix: When we're both men? Yea right.

he doesnt believe in gay people😭😭😭😭😭 olivie would know whats up

context: the bartender was totally freaking out when he saw felix and spilled his drink on the counter, then cleaned it up and served another. felix asked what was his problem

12/23/2024

Day 56

well, im disappointed because i expected ange visiting earth to realize technology has advanced just a little more than she expected, and for her to see someone she thinks she knows but they look a little older now, way older than they should be after only being gone for 2 months. the game mentioned none of that, and decided to use the temporary return to earth solely for fanservice (and it nets you points with whoever you invite, naturally). but whatever. we move
