To Heart Reviews and Impressions. Even though she is a multi-faceted person, she is thrilled with Akari and Remy. A story about how I fell in love with them just by being with them

 

When I found out that To Heart was going to be reborn, I couldn't stand still. Thankfully, I was given the opportunity to play in advance, so I started Steam in a hurry.

Akari was walking in the screen. Even though it was just that, the sad story came back vividly, and tears spilled out. I just listened to the opening theme "Feeling Heart", but the ending theme "To the Future of Each" is already playing in my head. I'm quick-witted.

Akari Kamigishi: A childhood friend of the main character, Hiroyuki Fujita.

It seems that the appearance of the girls that I imagined at that time has become a reality. No, it's not really real, but it's accompanied by a real feeling. Remy is as energetic as ever, Kurusugawa-senpai is pretty, and Shiho is noisy. It's kind of relieved.

And he notices that Masashi has a surprisingly good body. Come to think of it, Masashi was on the soccer team. There is also an aspect that can be seen by the fact that it has become a 3D graphic.

The scene that was in my brain came out as it was

To Heart is reborn in the modern era and is available on Switch and Steam. The announcement was an incident of sorts. It may be an exaggeration, but there must be more than a few comrades who have been closely impacted. Let's raise a toast together.

Based on the PC version released in 1997, it was ported to PlayStation (PS) in 1999, and has spread to PSP and PS2, and has been active in radio, TV anime, comics, and so on. In other words, it is one of the romantic adventures that created an era.

As time went on, the graphics were revamped from 2D illustrations to 3D. Can we say that it is a direct depiction of the atmosphere of everyday life? Anyway, I think the atmosphere conveyed by the screen has softened.

Multi, an existence that has established the character attribute of Maid Robo. The author is very fond of mulch.

When 3D is introduced, a common compliment is "realistic." However, I feel that there are not enough words.

At the time, when the event scene was depicted in a single illustration, we were not only looking at the girls, but also the scene itself in our minds. From their gestures, which must be delicate, to the environmental sounds and the air at the edges. You can supplement the parts you can't see with your imagination.

In the new "To Heart," the scene that was in my brain came out as it was.

When you're feeling awkward, look away. When she is shy, she blushes. When you're sad, shrug your shoulders. An appearance that suddenly jumps into view. The mulches who used to smile in their imagination are now there as they imagined. It's not a terribly high-definition graphic, but it feels closer than 2D. Is this what it means to cross dimensional barriers?

It was good. My imagination was correct. I feel like I'm matching the answers.

When I'm scared, I feel a little depressed.

Every morning, I meet up with my childhood friend Akari and walk down the road to school while chatting. When I get to school, I take classes, chat with my classmates during recess, and after school, I find someone and chat again. The days pass as a matter of course.

The content of the conversation is also normal. Talking about breakfast, childhood memories, poverty, favorite movies, etc. From our point of view, it may be an irreplaceable day, but it is very comfortable.

I think again that I wanted to touch on the subtleties of the mind rather than the shocking incident.

Beyond Akari and Remy, aiming for multi

I'm the guy who once cried in a multi-story scenario. The family motto is "The first move is multi-root". That's the kind of work I carry on my shoulders.

The main game is depicted in early March ~ late April. The first-year group (Maruti, Aoi Matsubara, and Kotone Himekawa) doesn't come out until April, so in the first half of the year, you can choose "go home" after school and skip the events, but that doesn't feel good. During the month of March, I decided to enjoy school life as usual.

Choices may arise during the conversation. If you follow the "choice guide" function, which displays an icon on things that increase favorability, you won't make a big mistake.

A "route guide" function that displays all the destinations and options to capture the target girl. With this, you can focus on the story.

However, a problem arose. The lights are so cute. No, I know Akari is cute. Even though he is supposed to be overwhelmingly multi-factional, he is conscious of the light.

I didn't know why for a while, but then I realized. I think the trigger was that everyone became more expressive with the shift to 3D. It seems that the actors are acting out their facial expressions, and the feelings are conveyed more strongly from there.

Speaking of which, Tamsoft's name was among the logos at the start of the game. It is a development company that works on many cute 3D characters, and it seems that their skills are fully demonstrated in "To Heart".

Akari spends a lot of time together. They show me various expressions in casual conversations, and before I know it, I feel close to them. If such a girl clearly had a liking for herself (the main character, Hiroyuki Fujita) hidden in plain sight. If that happens!

There were many hints at it, but it was at this point that it became decisive.

Everyone in the class surrounds Shiho, who speaks proudly. I want you to pay attention to Akari's gaze on the right.

It is a scene where Shiho, who likes rumors, is making a fuss in the class with "Shiho-chan News". Everyone is paying attention to Shiho and waiting for the gossip story, but Akari is the only one who is looking at her, "I wonder what Hiroyuki thinks." It is vulnerable to this kind of quiet production.

Akari is a quiet girl, so she probably doesn't want Hiroyuki to notice her, but I'm sorry, I did. "Ah!" comes the voice. It is impossible not to be conscious of it.

A love story between two insensitive people. It is said to be the most itchy thing in the world.

Men are stupid creatures, so they fall in love with girls who have a lot of contact and body touch. In that sense, I was also disturbed by Remy.

She is a cheerful half-Japanese-American, and she has been closing the distance from the beginning and her remarks are meaningful. And the size of the uniform at the part-time job (family restaurant) does not fit. If you have a classmate like the Triple Crown King, you're sure to like it!

In the past, I didn't like aggressive girls. After all, the size? Is it the size?

In order to bond with Maruti, you have to break through the ironclad duo between Akari and Remy. It's similar to Dragon Quest V. At first, I was going to marry Bianca and choose Flora for the second round, but my memories with Bianca overflowed and I chose Bianca for the second round, so it was too hard for me to look away from Akari's feelings.

Still, compared to my feelings for Multi, such a conflict is almost nothing. He pays tribute to the character attribute of Maid Robo and the achievement of establishing the white over-the-knee socks, and after meeting him, he goes to Maruti.

There is also a scene of walking around the school. It's better to find a girl of your own volition and talk to her. I felt like I was getting deeper into the game.

The story of Maruti is heartbreaking. If I had to sum up the theme in one word, it would be "symbiosis between robots with minds and humans."

In a society where the idea that robots = labor is common, Hiroyuki, who has a crisp and pleasant personality, treats Maruti as a junior girl. Even though I remembered the whole story, I cried properly. I don't think I had any memories of "To Heart" as a classic.

Since the release of the original "To Heart" in the late 1990s, the way we think about robots has changed. Nowadays, there are many people who cherish cat robots in family restaurants, and I think that if the scenario had been adjusted in a modern way, we might have seen more of Maruti's smile.

When introducing Serio, who has a sister-like relationship, Maruti smiles. I like this kind of facial expression.

The significance of preserving the atmosphere of that time

The scenario of this work seems to be based on the previous one. There are also lines that feel the times, such as "rented on video".

Although the voice actors have adopted a new cast, the dialogue is the same word for word, and both old and new voices are recorded. You can also switch between them individually, and you will hear them without any discomfort. Even so, in this era, you can hear Maruti's "Wow!" played by Yui Horie. Hiina Yomiya's "Yes!" is also cute. Everyone is different and everyone is good.

I will note here that I looped this scene many times.

I wonder how today's boys and girls would feel when they played this game. I think there was a way to change the scenario to suit the times, but there is also the significance of preserving the atmosphere of that era in a game that lasts for a long time. It's like a popular artist of that era singing a famous song from the past.

"To Heart" has a long so-called daily part. The first half of the month, March, is almost a run-up period. It's not like a game that plays like a roller coaster and doesn't bore the player. Still, there will surely be heart-wrenching encounters waiting for you. That's what I thought.

Perhaps there is value in everyday scenes that are not so common.

I haven't done enough to do a detailed review, but I couldn't stop writing, so I just wrote my impressions for the time being. To tell you the truth, at first I was thinking of creating a story that "all the images are multi-layered under the guise of a normal review article".

But I couldn't. I wasn't strong enough to deal with Akari and Remy's destructive power. Still, I'm happy to write an article about the game ToHeart.

My life changed when I discovered ToHeart.

I cried in a multi-player scenario and started cosplaying multiplayer, and I was interested in being a cosplayer, so I joined a company (ASCII at the time), and because I was cross-dressing, my pen name became "Miss Yusuke", and I married someone I met at a cosplay event. When I found out that "To Heart" was coming out, I told my wife about it, and she laughed and said, "That's great." It's generally moving in the right direction.
