VNDB places it in the 30 - 50 hours category.
Gamefaqs has 3 ratings with an average of 46.7 hours.
Best I can find, but if the people rating it aren't proficient in Japanese that could alter the results.

Just Spike Chunsoft being Spike Chunsoft.

On one hand - more otome, yay! On the other, MG would just make a PC port and that's it.

That's very pleasing to hear! Best of all because it's all Vita games which makes me very happy, but still, great to see the audience engaging. And explains why they committed so heavily to the genre through 2018
I don't doubt MG, but I'm impatient to see what else they license.
Toybox, the developer of 7'scarlet, seems pretty excited about Aksys licensing the game and wants to add extra scenes(?). It would be great if it happened but that's probably up to Otomate.

I was at AX and asked Aksys about getting stuff other than Otomate games after the panel ended, mentioning Dance with Devils and Kenka Banchou Otome in particular. The woman I talked to said that she agrees that they'd like to branch out more and would love to work on those two games in particular, but that outside of Otomate they don't have as great a relationship with other companies producing otome games. I asked if Rejet was impossible and if Spike Chunsoft wanted to do their otome efforts internally, and she basically confirmed both.
Regarding Mangagamer: Good_Haro's always trying to get more BL and otome stuff for them so I'm not worried on that front.

They have a working relationship with Toybox, who developed Side Kicks! Although they are not the publisher, maybe they could help Aksys negotiate with Extend to get the game licensed.

I did not know 7'scarlet was Toybox. They're the Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters developers, right?
Gonna take this moment to express my extreme happiness that Psychelica is coming across too.S till can't believe it. I'm hoping Black Butterfly lives up to my expectations.
God, Side Kicks would be awesome!
This week I fiiiiiiinally started Code Realize. It took a few days of playing barely 30 minute segments, and even today i kept getting super distracted as I played, but once I got past the intro stuff I was properly hooked and I've spent most of the night playing it. I don't know what I was actually expecting structure/plot-wise, but even with high expectations I've been pleasantly surprised so far.
Does anyone who's played have a suggested route order, though? I know I'm going with Impey first because of a suggested order I found, but that order also says to do Saint's second and I've seen stuff saying his has big reveals so it's worth doing right before Lupin (or something along those lines), so... I'm at a loss.

Finished Impey's route in Code Realize; what a good dork. I know people have talked up Cardia a lot but she's great. I'm planning to do my entire second route today, ideally.
Beyond that, I've come up with a route order of Impey->Van->Fran->San->Lupin, since I think that'll have the best balance of tones. I've seen multiple conflicting suggested route orders, but some people have recommended this one so that's reassuring. It mostly seems like Van before Fran is the important part, as far as I can tell without seeing spoilers.

Stay tuned...the game comes out in a few days. Is this going to be another Nonary Games situation?

I'm not waiting. Don't trust them not to screw this up in the EU yet again. Import for me.
Yep. I imported mine from VGP and they shipped it today. The only downside is that it will take two weeks to arrive.

Got the shipping notice for Collar x Malice, I can plat Rime and Steins;Gate 0 before Friday.
Me! It's probably all I'll be thinking about at work on Friday.This thread is severly lacking in CxM hype. Who else is excited for the game?

It comes out tomorrow, right? I'm still trying to decide whether I should get it or not.. Someone convince me?
Same! Except I'll be waiting a little longer.
It's one of Otomate's best games. At least according to the people who played it
. Haven't seen anyone disliking the game, just people who weren't interested due to the setting/themes.Has a kickass heroine and great characters. Unlike some other games, this one actually fleshes out its characters; whether its via text messages or other tidbits throughout the game.
If you can stomach hype memes, there's also this:

Plus, it looks gorgeous!
Aksys also finally updated the website. You can get a lot of info about the game and its systems:

I was thinking of postponing it since I'm leaving on a trip on Sunday, but Amazon promised that I will receive it on its release date so I'm hyped.
So, I was directed here from the VN thread. I was wondering which is the full version of Hakuoki? I played the original on 3DS, but I heard there's new routes and extension to Kazama's route, so I'd love to see all of those, but I'm very confused with all the different names and consoles... I don't mind which console it's on, as long as it's all of it.
I think Kyoto Winds + the upcoming sequel will be the most complete package. As of right now, as far as past releases, I think it'd be the PS3 release.
Mineo - Takeru/Kei - Shiraishi - Aiji.
From what I've read, you should go for Mineo first since his route is the lightest on the plot.
Alright, thanks!
Are you in Canada as well?
I have prime, but I remember how much it sucks when Amazon delays shipping your order just because you don't have prime.
I am! Though I actually have prime and pre-ordered a month ago, I think they are just having stock issues so mine will be here a bit late
Which is fine since hey I'd rather it sell well! But I still hate spoiler dodging lolGot CxM, but I'm too tired to play much.
It's on stock, so you might want to give CS a nudge. If you live in major city, you can probably even receive it tomorrow.

Gotdang CxM is pretty. Still trying to decide who I want to angle for, I'll probably just do a blind run to start with and let my choices lead me where they may.
Also really digging the soundtrack!
Ah, I might try this, then.

Where's our OT at? D:
Can't help with the title though - don't have any ideas.
It's mostly just typos and name mix ups. It's rather unfortunate though, you'd think Aksys would improve with subsequent releases, but they're only getting worse.
It sounds like they're mostly in one chapter, or something? I don't have my copy yet myself (and am still working on finishing CR), so I haven't started yet.
I did see a mention on Reddit of a plot affecting mistranslation in the final route, but I didn't read the explanation due to spoilers.
I saw that but I didn't read it because I didn't want to get spoiled. I hope it's not too bad.
Unfortunately, it's not just one chapter only. although most of the mistakes happen early in Mineo's route, there are also some in other routes.
10 million times better, yes. I have yet to see anyone who likes the setting/mystery VNs dislike the game. According to people who played the Japanese version, it's one of the best Otomate games.
Welp, I'm in then. Will DL today.
Yeah the one I saw referenced earlier was... chapter 3 of Takeru? I think? No idea if those are just the 2 routes the people speaking up have played or if it's actually just them, though. It's also weird that one of the issues mentioned seems to be the game sometimes using the default name instead of the one you enter, since it feels like that's likely more due to not putting variables in the script correctly or something like that.
In any case, it's such a bummer to hear this stuff when there's like no chance they'll patch it. I'm still excited to play it and I want to support their releases going forward since most of what they've announced are things I'm interested in, but... the fact that they're apparently rushing through testing/editing is really shitty and incredibly frustrating to accept and not something I want to be supporting. I don't want to have to grudgingly accept an inferior release of a supposedly wonderful game because we'll never get to experience it the way it deserves to be experienced, you know?
Is there any public way to voice concerns- that won't just end up ignored in an e-mail inbox? I thought they used to have a forum years and years ago but that doesn't seem to exist now.
I've done so.
I don't expect a response but it was worth saying.
EDIT: And the response was that it's up to "developer discretion" and to email their support- support@aksysgames.com. I guess I'll do that much, and I suggest everyone else interested due the same (or perhaps both). Might not do anything but if it gets this noticed even slightly more, sure.

There is an R18 otome game slated to be released on Steam, unfortunately the company publishing has a history of producing machine translated messes.
