I paused my game to be here.

What is Harukanaru Toki no Naka de / Beyond the Stream of Time?

Harukanaru Toki no Naka de (2000) is an otome adventure game, the first installment in the Haruka series, the starting title for the second and longest Neoromance IP. It is the game which receives the most outside coverage and spin-offs within the series.

At the time of the game's conception Heian period based stories were receiving an explosion of popularity in the Japanese entertainment industry. Ruby Party used the trends to their advantage to create their first Japanese history based IP. Members wished for the game to keep the same simulation elements as its predecessor [Angelique] yet thought it better to include role-playing game elements which were still in high demand with the female fanbase. To further distinguish it from their first work, members sought to highlight the seasonal beauty of spring and summer through the lens of Heian aesthetics. (stolen from the Koei Tecmo Wiki)

tenma was talking about needing to train to fight better, and i said i should do that too. i don't want to be a deadweight, after all :] yorihisa liked that answer, but also said

translation

Minamoto Yorihisa: However, it's unnecessary for you to do anything like training. I will protect you.


[chris is having 234239234 different feelings on this]

no, it's just two feelings. "really? 🥺" vs. "but as a feminist,"

the sheer amount of sprites this game must have… my god

i don't know if you've noticed, but every emotion has a completely different pose, rather than changing up only the eyebrows/eyes/mouth

Minamoto Yorihisa: Lady Priestess... I will abide by whatever decision the priestess makes.

Morimura Tenma: What? So if Akane tells you to stop fighting, you'll stop?

Minamoto Yorihisa: A foolish question.

Morimura Tenma: And if Akane told you to die, you'd die?

Minamoto Yorihisa: If the priestess so wills it.

Morimura Tenma: ... Are you stupid? You're so... is it that bushido thing?

Minamoto Yorihisa: That is following orders.

Morimura Tenma: That's weird. You're definitely weird.

Minamoto Yorihisa: Is that so...

fun fact: every new chapter starts with a title card like this and i can not read it ^_^

Well... I can't read it in the time alloted! Now that I'm looking at the screenshot I took, I can see it likely says... okay nevermind, after the "sakura flowers" part there's just enough kana I can't make out so as to render the sentence meaningless. Note to self that I should invest in a little calligraphy study.

look at eisen's reaction to me denying his date invitation 😭😭 he's so pathetic. which is awesome

Akane: True... I definitely do feel a little tired.

> But I'm fine. I'll keep doing my best for the Capital's sake.

> Since you came all the way here, I might as well come with you.

Akane: Thanks for worrying about me, but I'm fine. I'll keep doing my best for the Capital's sake.

Eisen: The priestess is admirably still keeping the Capital in her thoughts.. On the other hand, I'm just...

Eisen: On the contrary, I'm making her take care of me. I'm being a nuisance... I'm so sorry. Please excuse me...

Tachibana Tomomasa: Lady Priestess, good morning.

Tachibana Tomomasa: Good morning, Lady Priestess. It seems you've finally awoken.

Tachibana Tomomasa: ..........

Tachibana Tomomasa: Takamichi, what you plan on doing?

Tachibana Tomomasa: You over there. I don't want to have some tedious scuffle.

Tachibana Tomomasa: Good grief. We have no interest in a princess that looks like this.

Tachibana Tomomasa: It couldn't be... This place has already become unclean?


(it's so hard to translate when you don't remember the context LMFAO)
