Contemplating from afar

I usually don’t play visual novel, and I didn’t plan to do so for eden*. In the beginning I was just going to extract the CG, but since it requires an install before… I ended up trying a little bit of the game. I don’t speak japanese, but I can understand little bits in oral, and I was quite intrigued by the story. minori have great story in their game, so… here I’m playing one of these game. I didn’t do this for years, so I had to get again all the tool needed to have a better understanding of the plot. So far I like it.

[update]: Contrary to the CG, the movies are in 768×468…. weird resolution.

In the future, a star will bring destruction upon earth, erasing all life. Humanity has 100 years left until the end. During these years, there were wars, terrorist attack, but earth finally rallied under a unified government. Hopes are turned toward a migration plans to space. The project was initiated by Sion, a Felix, or in other word, a genetically modified human. The plan progress and it’s reaching it’s last stage and this is where the story begins. As Haruna Ryo, a soldier, you get a new mission;  protect Sion.

That’s the premise of the story; I didn’t get too far after 4 hours… I just reached the opening movie which is this time in 1024×640 goodness. Well people knows already about the game op, though I have no rip of it for now, so you still have Youtube left. However, I do have the CG… which is over 3GB with PLUS+MOSAIC included. Like ef, the number of scene is impressive, and by great artist: Chikotamu and Kim-chee. Contrary to other eroge, the animation in game is richer. Faces have eyes animation, and lips sync; and the biggest change is certain the cinema angle used. Shot reverse shot are used for some dialogue, and you also have the character focus. All in all, it gives the game a better finition than other.

Of course, to accompany the art, the composition of Tenmon. The game really have wonderful music. It’s mostly calm and soothing one, though there are some upbeat one for comedy scene, and some tense one. Well, here is my favourite so far : edenBGM006_2

So I will continue on my journey toward the end of the world. As for the CG… I need to sort and think about where to put this.
