A few days ago, I welcomed my Sixteenth Dollfie Dream Daughter DD娃娃 人偶 Matou Sakura to my family; and I had Saber, Rin and Ecchi Lion came out to gave Sakura a warm welcome; but that was not all that I had in mind!  The number sixteenth daughter also mark the completion of a Platoon!!  Since such a significant milestone cannot be ignored or overlooked…. so I have decided to summon all of my daughters together for a full family portrait (it’s been a while since I did the last family photo)!  This special event is also know as Dollfie Dream Daughters Grand Glorious Gathering, DDDGGG for short!

Do you like to take family portrait of your Dollfie Dream Daughters?

For the past month or so, I have been secretly working a large scale Dollfie Dream DD娃娃 photo shoot to celebrate the arrival of my 15th Dollfie Dream daughter Erika and 14th daughter Estel (since Estel never did get a proper photo shoot of her own, partly because I knew I had Erika on the way, it was more prudent to wait for Erika and do a formal introduction post for both at the same time.  It really shouldn’t have taken this long but I took a break in between to work on the entries for Otacool 3 Worldwide Workspace and Culture Japan video entry where I attempted a do a video tour of my room, hopefully my clip would get picked ^^;

Anyway, back on topic.  Ever since I adopted my 13th Dollfie Dream daughter DD娃娃 Kiriha, I had this idea to collect all four of the August Soft licensed Dollfie Dream, and there were these images in my head that I want to capture them into photos.  So, without further ado, allow me to present to you, my August Four!  A collection of photos on Dollfie Dream Feena DD娃娃 フィーナ, Dollfie Dream Estel DD娃娃 エステル from the Visual Novel Brighter than Dawning Blue also known as Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro na 夜明け前より瑠璃色な; Dollfie Dream Erika DD娃娃 千堂 瑛里華 and Dollfie Dream Kiriha DD娃娃 紅瀬桐葉 from the Visual Novel Fortune Arterial.

Just two weeks ago I welcomed my Thirteenth Dollfie Dream Daughter Kiriha, I really didn’t expect to adopt the Fourteenth Daughter so quickly after paying up for Rina and Yuki last month; but really good deal rarely shows up in Yahoo Japan Auction and as I explained before in my last post, the deal I got for Estel was just too good to pass up and on top of that I have always been thinking about adopting Estel to make up for missing out on her PVC figure when it was on sale last year.  So here we are, after just welcoming my thirteenth daughter two weeks ago, my lovely loot inspection assistant Feena has once again joined us to introduce her youngest sister yet, Estel Freesia.

Dollfie Dream Feena Estel

For those of you who may not be aware, Feena and Estel actually came from the same PC game (they even share the same Dollfie Dream head mold), Bright than Dawning Blue / Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro na.  Estel was a character introduced in the PS2 version of the game and it was ported back into PC in 2009, along with the release of Moonlight Cradle which was rated as the 2nd best seller in 2009 by Getchu.com

Those of you who might be interested in Estel Freesia’s background story, I have written an extensive summary of Estel Freesia’s story arc.

And here is the list of the loots I have acquired in March and early April.

  1. Dollfie Dream Estel Freesia + Casual Dress set
  2. Fortune Arterial Black Cat Maid by Azone International Won Fest Exclusive 2009.
  3. Estel Freesia Casual Dress set (stand alone)
  4. Sasara School Swimsuit Maid set from HT Kyoto 7

Japan trip loots

Some of you who have been following my blog would know that I have just traveled to Japan recently for a super condensed sight seeing and shopping trip.  I have a set of mission objectives that I wanted to accomplish, and I have managed to finish most of them by Saturday night Japan time.  But how can it be?  There are only 3 real days to work with, I have to be back in the airport before noon on Sunday.  As I reveal the details of my complete walk-through of my super condensed Japan trip, it will become more obvious!

  1. See the Odaiba Gundam
  2. Watch the Kamen Rider movie
  3. Watch the Evangelion 2.0 movie You can (not) advance
  4. Shopping in Akihabara
  5. Shopping for Dollfie Clothes and appropriate size Rider belts
  6. Go to a maid cafe

I am fairly proud to say that I have accomplished every one of the above objectives even though this trip was so short.  For starter, I am going to cover my loots during this trip and I will expand onto some of the finer details of my experience of my super condensed, super fast pace first trip to Japan.  Without further ado, let me get started.  First is the grand scale loots!

Obviously, you can’t really see anything like this, so let me break them down into their categories.

It’s been almost two weeks since I started this Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na Visual Novel marathon run project which includes the original Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na Visual Novel (2005) August soft, Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na -Brighter than dawning blue- (2009) Aria soft and Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na -Moonlight Cradle- (2009) August soft, it’s a massive undertaking that I have never attempted before.   But after over a week worth of effort, I am finally getting close to the midway point.  This project really started when I redecorated my room with three Feena fam Earthlight Dakimakuras and one bath towel, then all of a sudden I wondered about how much do I really know about her.  Sure I have watched Brighter than dawning blue ~Cresent Love~ but that may not be adequate given the amount collector’s items I have on her and the fact that the animation may not represent the game character adequately.  On top of that, I have always been curious about the 2nd tier heroine Natsuki Takamizawa and the new cast from PS2 port Estel Freesia.  All that curiosity became a massive determination to drive me to work on all three Visual Novels in a row.

The effort really paid off, I really enjoyed the games so far, the games frequently put you in the main character’s shoes and have confronted you with questions that don’t have a clear cut answer.  After I finished Feena’s normal end and Natsuki’s end, I started talking about Natsuki’s story in an earlier post while I really should have started from the beginning and give the proper background information regarding the the whole story.  Without further ado, let me set the record straight once and for all.

Update: I have updated this page to include some of my other posts related to the game

Alright, so I finally made it to the new cast on the PS2 port version Estel Freesia.  What can I say about her?  Estel is quite a tsundere, more than Natsuki (especially after I started her Moonlight Cradle arc) and definitely a tough nut to crack!  I am going to try a slightly different approach and compact her story a bit more, Feena’s story was way too long and I probably had way too much details in the last writeup.

Before I dig into Estel’s story, allow me give a brief explanation of the moon church.  静寂の月光 (Silent Moonlight) is the main religion in the Kingdom of Sphere and it’s divided into 3 branches: Internal Affair, which handles personnel assignment; External Affair, which deals with the more political ends of the church, this particular division of the church is highly dependent on personal connection and basically it’s only for people with connections; and Lost Technology, which safe guard and handle the the remaining technology from the pre-war period.  Needless to say, the Kingdom of Sphere cannot survive without Silent Moonlight because if the Lost Technology is not operational, the Moon is basically uninhabitable.

Estel Freesia was a recent graduate of the moon church academy, she graduated top of her class but she was assigned to City of Mitsurugasaki instead of the External Affair division that she applied for because of her orphanage background.  She is hard working, and a generally honest girl that has a problem accepting her past (the fact that she was demoted to Earth did not help at all).  This mental barrier prevented Estel from being honest with herself.  She was raised in an orphanage along with Karen after she was found near a church by high priest Moritz Zabel Frantz (whom Estel considered as her foster father) when she was still a baby.  She idolized Karen for being able to advance her career despite her upbringing and she vowed to achieve the same result as Karen by going through a different path.  Estel can be rather confrontational when it comes down to matters regarding Earth and Earthlings because of the highly competitive moon church academy environment she studied in.  Estel is beautiful just like Feena but her personality has a slight tilt towards tsundere and has been seen hitting Tatsuya with various objects whenever he did something to spite her.  She is a dog lover though, especially puppy.  She has been studying very hard since her assignment to Earth in order to try to get reassigned away from Earth.

Estel’s storyline branches off Feena’s story and Tatsuya first ran into her when he was on his way back home after delivering dinner to Sayaka in the Royal Moon Museum within the Lunarian Residential District.

Finally, I finished the true episode, Brighter than dawning blue arc today.  I would like to give it some thought before I finish Feena’s story since the true episode is completely different from the anime counterpart.  The similarity between the game and the anime fell apart after Karen took off for the moon. The end result may be the same, but the process to get there is completely different!

For now, I am moving on to the PS2 port version because I have to replay Feena’s arc again to better refresh my memory and to get to Estel Freesia.  Stay tune for an update on Feena’s story and Estel Freesia later on :)

Three nights worth of hard work I have managed to get to the final arc of Brighter than dawning blue…  Before I even realize it, I am starting to develop a habit to talk about Bishoujo game character profile, I may eventually devote a specific section just for that.  Some people might wonder why I care so much about the story, and to that I can only say the eroge scenes are not as exciting as if one do not understand the story that is leading to the scene and what happen afterward.

夜明け前より瑠璃色な

The final arc, Brighter than dawning blue 夜明け前より瑠璃色なhas finally shown up on the game menu.  With this, I can finally finish this game and move on to the PS2 port version and work on Estel Freesia.  I really like how the stories are setup in such a way that you don’t have to start over from the beginning.  However, in order to get to this point in 3 nights time, I have to summon the all mighty “crtl” key a lot, I skipped over Mia, Mai and Sayaka while finishing Natsuki and Wreathlit’s stories.  I have always wanted to dive deeper into their stores since I watched Crescent Love.  Since Feena’s story has already been well covered in Crescent Love, I am going start talking about Natsuki first.  Eventually, I do plan to go back to cover Feena’s story after I finish the final arc to settle any differences between Crescent Love and the game, eventually the after story in Moonlight cradle.  While I could hardly wait to finish the rest of Feena’s story, but I feel compelled to cover Natsuki’s story first because her story is relatively unknown.

Basic background information can be found in the Yoake mae yori ruriiro na wiki page, although some  information may be inaccurate

Update: I have updated this page to include some of my new posts on the game, it’s highly recommended that you first visit the following links first.

Woah, took me the whole day to finish the remaining of Feena’s arc just to find out that wasn’t the end of the Feena’s story -_-; I have to finish Mia, Mai, Natsuki and Sayaka in order to unlock Wearthlit then the final arc Brighter than dawning blue would be unlocked :s Out of the remaining group, I am only interested in Natsuki’s story, what to do ;s

Anyway, my impression for the game after this first play through has been very good, I am quite happy with the quality of August soft game, I have no choice but to play through Fortune Arterial now (this is going to keep me busy for weeks now).  It’s a shame that I didn’t notice this series sooner (partly because I was too involved in FFXI during that period of time when the game was released and I was pretty much out of the whole eroge gaming scene).

Anyway, what a huge shock for me.  Feena is actually quite a naughty girl!  Get this, the first eroge scene was initiated by Feena, not you!  I know this is an eroge game, but this is quite unexpected given I watch the anime first.

For the past couple of days, while I have been finishing up on my massive clean up/construction project, I tried to decide which eroge game I should tackle next.  After a long delibration, I have  decided I need to finish 夜明け前より瑠璃色なYoake Mae Yori Ruriiro na once and for all, and including moonlight cradle in the process.

While I have always thought that the animation ~Cresent Love~ has given me the necessary background story for Feena for me (and it’s true still), playing through the game so far has given me a chance to see the subtle differences between the two.  I am about over half way into Feena’s arc right now and I am just starting to see Feena and Tatsuya showing some affection for each other.  May be this is my first August game and I am still trying to get used to their presentation style.  In one instance, Tatsuya entered Feena’s bedroom while she was still changing…
