Second one is my favorite, best looking art, best characters, ton of content that makes every playthrough fresh.

Allow me to express amusement at your predicament, specifically how you desire to play Japanese games, but aren't willing to put in the effort to enjoy them in their true form.

Last time I checked, like a decade ago, the only game that was translated was a spin-off where you play as a girl and date boys.

It has the dubious distinction of being the first "dating sim" - widely considered the scourge of the visual novel genre and no it hasn't been translated though some of its sequels have.

I think the first one is usually considered the best. Best version is probably the Saturn one.
>translated
None of the mainline games no, there has been a few attempts here and there (usually the SFC port), but none of them have ever really gotten off the ground. The spin off series "Girls Side" has had a few translations over the years.

Sorry for the lack of a better answer. My only interaction with the series is the arcade puzzle game, which I enjoyed.

Your own damn fault you VN people decided to start calling all sorts of games that aren't novels "VNs". Originally the term "visual novel" was specifically used to distinguish actual novel-like software from gamey things like sims.

I think it started as the opposite. People were aware that dating sims existed because they were referenced frequently in anime (particularly Excel Saga), but such a minuscule amount of them are translated that people didn't really understand what they were. So when people played the early translated 00s romance heavy visual novels (like Kana Little Sister), people assumed that's what a dating sim was because the interface looks similar. Eventually people realized their mistake and started using "visual novel" for those instead. But people still didn't know what the hell a dating sim was, so games like Tokimeki got lumped in with visual novels (things like Phoenix Wright and fucking Princess Maker sometimes get called visual novels too, just because of the static sprites).

>> No.6151035

1 and 2 are generally considered the best. 3 is quite justifiably disliked because it trolls people who played the previous 2 and has dodgy 3D graphics. 4 is alright.

Not really. For playing simplistic dating games, anyway.

The bulk of learning any language is reading, and nobody prevents you from using text heavy games for that. I was playing tokimemo in half a year after starting.

dating sims are life sims with stats to build up. Kana is adventure game.

2 is hands down the best. best cast and best side stories. theres even append discs where you can make the girls speak out your actual input name. by default only hikari speaks your name but you can make everyone do it and thats fucking cool.
1 was great but the bombing was fucking ridiculous. once you got 2 girls bombing you, it gets difficult to recover from it and can fuck up your entire run. and trying to get confession from the main girl shiori is an absolute bitch. i know shes the main girl so she should be difficult to get but goddamn does she hate you. konami was smart to reduce the bomb feature in 2.
oh and for those that dont know what i mean by bombing, it means girls talking shit behind you and spreading bullshit rumors about you which in turn makes you lose your popularity with everyone. tokimeki is infamous for this feature and is kind of what differentiated from all the other dating sims game at the time.
>>6152480
dating sims have management system where you have to build the mc stats to attract a specific girl. in tokimeki 1, you have to take girls out to multiple dates to make them like you and by the end, hope for a confession from them.
visual novels are text adventure where you have to make certain decisions to end up with a specific girl/ending. most of the times they have multiple branching routes that can change the story significantly depending on your decision. for example fate stay night.

Go play LovePlus on the Nintendo DS for like 20 minutes and you'll understand what a dating sim is. It's not quite as complex as Tokimeki. but it's along the same lines.

I feel like I missed out on this experience for having the Saturn version be my first Tokimemo. She's not hard in that one. (Shiori difficulty is the same in the Saturn version as in the PS version, I think?)
