Well, I'm agitated about SOMETHING---I think it had something to do with the Fullmetal Alchemist movie and Otakon? Is there anybody in the world who actually wants to sit NEAR a group of loud fangirls so as to cover up her own screams? ;_; I doubt I'll even go if it does show because I'll feel like I have to show how grown-up I am by not waiting in a line for three hours to get in. (I really don't want to do that! But, but...)
Neo Angelique is not behaving the way a proper game should, in that some bug is robbing me of the love ending I was working so hard for, so I quit. I don't need to get the last two stills, at least not right away, though of course maybe I will some day later on. Overall, I liked Angelique Etoile better, because with 19 chances, there had to be SOMEBODY I really liked (and in fact, there was). Neo Angelique guys were, mm, well, okay, any ONE of them in the real world would be a legendary catch, and it's not like they're bad people or anything, but since this is a fantasy I want a little more oomph. Compatibility, uh, something that I know I got out of Etoile but not Neo Angelique. Seriously needed more guys.
I also didn't like the way they did events---which is to say I'm used to brutally squeezing every picture out of an Angelique game by raising affection levels and timing story events, and I kind of like it that way. In Neo Angelique, you really don't get to determine what you're going to see as much. There were a lot of times when I would go into Hidamari-tei and not be sure whether I would see Angelique playing the piano with Nyx or talking about robots with Mr. Good Touching J.D. It's because there are just so many more THINGS to do, as opposed to free-form shopping and gathering of Sacria. Events have a way of sorting themselves out so that you see them after all, but there is the possibility that something will go seriously wrong and your game will refuse to acknowledge that Angelique and so-and-so have fallen in love! like some horrible cold father who hates your boyfriend. It happened to me. (I mean, the game, not with the father.)
Oh, and the dates. Arcadia is too sad to have any awesome places like Celestia for stupid young lovers to frolic, so all you get is "mini-dates" at places that will be someday paved over as future queen candidates prove their worth by building 100-person houses, and then some talking that is governed by a anxiety-provoking bingo card and a frustrating mood meter. Well, it wasn't that bad, but again it sort of made me scrinch up my face and whine, "I liked the OLD way bettar! Capital D, colon." So part of me is glad I played a game with Ookawa Tooru, and a part of me is thinking, boy, I'm glad I got the terrible responsibility of playing another Neo Romance game out of the way.
So instead I beat Atelier Iris. I was so very, very tired of battles by the end of the game but I would gladly go for another five rounds of picking up Pendelooks in Iris' Resting Place just for the chance to make more THINGS. So it's a game that does certain special things well, and I am glad it has something going on for it because Atelier Iris 2 is in the mail (I think)!

By the way, I'm actually saying I don't mind screaming. I don't want to watch this movie in a dignified way because if I do, I might do something very asstacular, like crying for my OTP. At a possibly badly dubbed movie. NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND.
