[XBOX360][PSP] Dream Club

[Benpc91]

Games Walkthroughs..
Like you'll have all time reading and translating them.
Knowing the ending of what you're playing is even useless.
Let's say it like this:
You're reading a book and you already know what the ending is.
Don't you feel stupid by doing that?
It even spoils the whole gameplay and makes it boring.
well.. other people have different gaming ideals never mind.
Returning this post's original topic
I don't like this game too much.

You know, I've been playing iM@S off of a communication guide all this time, and I have still been enjoying it for what it is.  Having a guide saves me of frustration of not having enough memories for the final concert.
With Dream Club, similar guides are up.  Without these guides, I can't get to the good end at all.  It saves me the frustration of not having the right flags triggered.

For us importers, guides, whether written in Japanese or English, really save us a lot.

So why do us importers who don't understand Japanese still play this?  I've had my huge doubt about this game ever since the first trailer released.  Even more so once Ili and Mari were announced.  One day I was bored and decided to import this (I had iM@S DS and Love Plus, might as well get the third competitor), and ended up liking the whole thing.

EDIT: Okay, here are Ili's date CGs I've gotten so far.

Just got the Dream Club Visual Fanbook. It's great.

Like the Idolmaster arcade fanbook, there are short stories for each of the girls describing their lives. I can try to translate them if anybody wants it.

I have a question about the endings for this game.

The videos I've seen of the endings have the girl drunk. Is this required to get the best ending. Just wanna know for when I get the game.

[Benpc91]

I believe for all of the good endings, you need to trigger one piece of dialogue that is ETS only, then the ending it triggered.  So yeah.

Hey, hey, hey! I heard around that the endings for this games are a real heart breaker. True or False?

[Benpc91]

For Bad End and Best Friend End.

“Well, you see actually I am dating someone at the moment… I regret going on a date with you.”

After even more embarrassing courting, she confesses to the protagonist: “You’re really my best friend, aren’t you!”

After that she marries her boyfriend. The End.

Sadly, the much hoped for Nao-is-actually-a-boy-like-Makoto true end has not emerged.

[RoninatorMarx]

Ah, yes. This is the one I heard. Thanks for opening old wounds the info. ^^ XD

[Cien Laguoire]

For Bad End and Best Friend End.

Both of these can be applied to real life.
Sad, isn't it? ;_;

[Benpc91]

Finished Ili's route.  From what I interpreted, the protagonist became her programmer.

Also, more CGs:




An android swimming?

[Cien Laguoire]

Yea, programmer, sure~. I'd like to, erm, "program" her as well. *shot*
Must be fun dating an android. Just out of curiosity, does she seem to act very much like a human?

Thanks for sharing the pictures. But wait…Geez, I completely forgot about special art! I just figured the pictures come as attachments to phone messages.
I’ve check what I have for Setsu and I got two pictures so far.

For winter skating date –


And a date in Chinatown –


Say, if it’s not too difficult for you, could you share Mian and Nao albums? Or else I’ll have to play again because I didn’t check attachments last time I played. Also, can you make huge images instead of small ones, please?

Ah, that’s very nice. I also wanted to order the book and the guide but unfortunately I’m short on funds at the moment.
I can read Japanese but I would kindly ask you to share the scans if it’s not difficult for you. Even a few pages will be nice.

And speaking of using guides. Benpc91-san speaks the truth. I like to use guides myself. In fact you can enjoy the game just as playing on your own because when you compare what’s written in the book with what you achieved you feel satisfied understanding that you’re on the right path.

See how I messed up with Mian. The second playthrough with Nao was much better.
And I can name many other games where a guide is a must. Back when I played Kimikiss I was pretty good on my own but when I finally got a guide I understood I missed a number of important episodes. One of the best scenes in the game, a catfight between Asuka and Futami-san is actually pretty well hidden. It takes place closer to the end of the game but in order to see it you must first visit the chem lab just soon after you get acquainted with Asuka. This feat is far from being obvious.

And finally, let’s take Haruka game. It’s one of the best on ps2 because there are many episodes that are made of pure win. But the game system is more complicated than one would like it to be. The biggest problem is that you don’t exactly know which location you need to go next. And then, the schedule is very tough. Basically you have one month at your disposal and you can only waste one day (that’s only 5 times slots, just think of it!). If you can’t fit into the schedule you’ll most likely run into a bad ending.

Your typical "Hello master, what can I do for you?" type of android.  She's also one of those characters that adds "desu" to the end of all of her sentences.  Even with all the character songs.
She was pretty energetic, however, and acted a lot like a human girl (anime wise that is) once you got to know her more and started dating her.

I'd like to, erm, "program" her as well. *shot*

Believe me, I also wonder Ili could trust the protagonist with programing her.

Say, if it’s not too difficult for you, could you share Mian and Nao albums? Or else I’ll have to play again because I didn’t check attachments last time I played. Also, can you make huge images instead of small ones, please?

I didn't quite go through Nao's route yet, but I could get Mian's up soon.  At least, the ones I have.
Note that right now I am playing for completion of story first, I'll focus on all CGs next (except I can't quite get the Xbox LIVE ones unless I decide to fork over more money on that).  Last, achievements.

I'm going to start Mari's route next.

EDIT: Here we go, the Mian ones I have.







I really wish I could get rid of that B button.
Also, if you want the full size image instead of these down scaled ones, PM me exactly which ones you want.  I'll warn you though, this is the best quality you can get from me.

Oh, awesome. Thanks a million.
I'll also PM you if you don't mind.
