Generally, an Concept Manufacturing unit and Otomate’s fan disc follow-up for an otome sport does one thing extra than simply supply epilogues and side-stories for main characters. There are occasions when there shall be fully new routes. Radiant Story: Fanfare is an ideal instance, and it means the sport is extra strong as a result of it provides extra love pursuits alongside the returning crew.
There are basically three elements to the Radiant Story: Fanfare otome sport, however the bulk (and finest) of it’s break up between epilogues with Ion, Paschalia, Radie, Vilio, and Zafora and a wholly new epilogue story that entails precise devoted routes for Jinnia and Liyan. Alest and Colivus have some moments within the new storyline that takes place after a typical route the place Tifalia doesn’t find yourself with anybody as nicely, however Jinnia and Liyan’s tales are rather more in depth. Which is a little bit of a disgrace on the subject of Alest, as a result of he’s fairly enjoyable!
In any case, within the case of the returning bachelors, we’re getting an opportunity to observe up with Tifalia after she’s already (principally) established with the 5 romance choices from the unique Radiant Story otome sport. Usually, I really feel like they’re principally strong. Everybody tends to remain in-character, and the tales find yourself being a bit various. I didn’t count on Tifalia and Radie to be as dedicated as they’re already by the point their further story rolled round, however I suppose it is smart given their closeness within the unique title. In reality, I typically appreciated all of the storylines, and the fan disc made me respect Paschalia a bit greater than I did within the unique.
Nevertheless, I actually really feel just like the spotlight of Radiant Story: Fanfare is the extra storyline that provides Jinnia and Liyan full storylines with Tifalia. Liyan’s is totally improbable and there’s some nice pay-off right here, particularly given all of the teasing and moments within the unique otome sport. It’s dealt with very nicely right here, particularly given the brand new plotline and position Tifalia performs as soon as CIRCUS is completed. The execution actually makes me query even additional why he wasn’t part of the first solid to start with. As for Jinnia, I didn’t actually count on to wish to romance him, however his storyline is simply as sturdy as Liyan’s. He’s hilarious and there are great moments between him and Tifalia. In reality, I felt like Jinnia and Liyan’s routes within the fan disc might need felt stronger and extra well-thought out than Paschalia’s, Ion’s, and Zafora’s within the base sport, and I actually appreciated Ion as a personality.
The entire tales are actually fairly enjoyable to learn and undergo. The localization is nice. I’d say it’s particularly enjoyable within the new storyline with Jinnia and Liyan, as each characters are such sturdy personalities and actually steal the highlight. Nevertheless, the opposite facet tales are enjoyable too. I wouldn’t say I’m as huge of a fan of the interludes, which function characters discussing amongst themselves briefly, however they’re okay. Additionally, as you’d count on from a follow-up to Radiant Story, the CGs are vibrant, vibrant, and infrequently rely on fairy story ambiance. They appear fairly good.
Actually, the one draw back is that the unique otome sport is required studying for Radiant Story: Fanfare. There is no such thing as a manner you possibly can go into this with out having skilled the unique journey. The brand new epilogues for the principle bachelors rely on the previous experiences with Tifalia. The brand new storyline picks up after the tip of that and together with her engaged on a brand new activity for the royal household, so you’ll be misplaced in case you don’t know why the occasion she’s engaged on is even taking place. Nonetheless, the primary sport is superb and value taking part in, so get to it?
Radiant Story: Fanfare is a pleasant follow-up to the unique otome sport and actually depends on you loving the characters. The fully new epilogue storyline with Jinnia and Liyan as the principle love pursuits looks like the most effective and most refreshing elements of this new journey. Nevertheless, the extra tales with Tifalia in established relationships with the unique 5 characters additionally does nicely with build up on these tales. If you happen to loved the unique, it’s value returning for this sequel.
Radiant Story: Fanfare will come to the Nintendo Swap on June 27, 2024.
