Inside the love parade dropped by Aksys in 2020 Piofiore Memories of Destinyis set in mid-1920s Italy and follows the protagonist caught in a four-way war between the church and three different mafia families. As is often the case with popular novels, sequels have appeared in North America, Episode 1926 It takes a different approach by creating a second full set of stories rather than the short vignettes found in other sequels. There are some issues that bother readers.
There are 6 stories unlocked from the start of Episodio 1926, all based on the memory of fate and the best endings of the original 5 suitors of that ‘Golden Route’. For the most part, the game does a good job of explaining the characters for newcomers (or those who haven’t played the original in a few years). I was a little wide-eyed when someone who was clearly dead in the original came back after being transferred to a better hospital and upgraded to a “living” state. contains a substory with all the OG suitors and can be where most of the time is spent. I was able to go through the main suitor route in 3-4 hours for the best possible ending.
The advantage of picking up from existing works is that you can avoid “Is this… love?” metaphor. In her 1926 appearance, the heroine (default name Liliana) is adamant about what she wants, and Root’s loving couple is instead confronted by external conflicts (church, local authorities, fascist Mussolini government). attacked close to home). in light of recent events in Italy). For 1920s games, it’s a good subversion that male suitors generally don’t make the first move in a relationship.
Basically, a mob-centric game, if nothing else, will deal with an M rating for violence. However, some of Bad’s endings feature scenes of the protagonist’s rape and off-screen suicide, and one of the best endings (from my previous “Best Babyfaces”) is also on-screen. is characterized by A sexual assault that made me a little uncomfortable.
One of the sequel’s major features is also the source of major problems with text processing. During the story of the suitor, an “aria” scene is provided that acts as a flashback. These scenes are shown in grayscale with an emphasis on white, but the text is also white and there is no form of colored stroke behind it for readability. I almost had to close my eyes to read the full text as it was routinely placed under the “monologue”. The editor has a few off-moments because there were multiple instances of entire sentence fragments being swapped or the text being too long for his three-line text box where the text was supposed to be added. It looked like
Much of the background will be familiar to anyone who’s played Fated Memories, which makes sense given that the two story sets are only a year apart. The 1926 story is essentially a more international narrative, so there is a lot of variety in the background as well (some of the stories are set in France, the United States, and Asia, as well as More frequent trips to Rome from small Italian cities). Barlone). The soundtrack isn’t too distracting, with plenty of familiar Italian folk songs from other mafia-style stories.
It was interesting reading episode 1926 to see what happened to the characters and how they would deal with the growing fascist threat that was only growing in Italy. The text issues (especially the scene required for the best ending) are a bit annoying, and if you’re not aiming for 100% completion, you can run the story as a long weekend read.
