I first played this silly arcade game back in 2020 with my nephew and it was a lot of fun. It's a minigame collection where the more you win, you get more points from a girl of your choosing and there are mini dating elements where you answer questions your date wants to hear. Too bad the game is a bit on the easy side and with 2 playthroughs you'll see everything from the game and a few mini games were not fun like the matching minigame and the memorization minigame. overall I recommend this playing with a friend if you know a bit of Japanese. My nephew doesn't know Japanese and he had no problems playing this game.

I loved this game back when I was 15 but for some reason I never finished this game until now. Man this game made me cry despite knowing Zack's fate. I really like everything about this game except maybe the gameplay. The gameplay is fine for a handheld game and I don't mind it, What I do mind is the boring missions you have to do if you want good materia and summons to make the game a bit easier or to level up. And the encounter rate is very high at the end of the game that the final dungeon was pretty annoying but not difficult. Leveling up is random but I don't mind this as it encourage me to plan on what equipment I need to use though honestly, I just kept the same materia throughout the game until the end when I found a really good materia Vital Slash that does 9999 damage so I had no trouble fighting enemies and the final boss and my level was 37. Despite it's flaws, it's a fun game and a really good looking game especially on the PSP. I think this is one of those games if you like it or not but playing this game as a Final Fantasy 7 fan is recommended as not only the game is easy and short, that final scene is a fantastic experience that does not replicate by just watching the cutscenes on YouTube. Trust me I think it's worth it if you're a Final Fantasy 7 fan.

It took a very long time for me to finish this game putting around 84 hours from trying to do everything the game has to offer. I really enjoyed my time playing this as I feel close with the characters as if they're my friends, going on dates, fooling around and having meaningful conversation I simply adore this game. Especially when I beat the first game and watched the anime. Now I still have to go through new game plus as that's how I get the true ending. I will make an edit when I finish NG+ and write more of the game. But for now I truly love my time with this game.

I think this game is a good short game. The gameplay didn't aged that well but since this game came out in the 80s, I think it did a good job at being a good RPG on the PC-98. while the gameplay is super simple tuned based RPG with a bit of ADV style during towns, it has lots of charm and a enjoyable plot. It'll only take you about 3 hours if following a guide and you'll need it since back in the 80s, games expects the player to spend a lot of time figuring out what to do and takes note through trial and error to the point of being unfair that requires you to start the game all over again. It may be bad game design today but back then this was normal.

Honestly I wasn't expecting much out of Dolphin Wave since it's the same developer of Senran Kagura: New Link and how I did not enjoyed that game. The only reason this game got my interest is due to the ero artist, Number2 (Takuji) which is well known for their Idolmaster and Oreimo doujins. Dolphin Wave uses the same engine as New Link and many elements from the game is almost identical to New Link but with an improved UI which is easy to navigate and other quality of life stuff. I've been playing this game since launch and I can safely say that this game blows New Link out of the water. The gameplay is similar to New Link that it uses a turned-based combat using skills cards to attack the opponent. but what I like about this version is that it combat is faster than New Link and it looks cool so to me it feels and plays better. Dolphin Wave I feel as it has a better customization than New Link as it's easier to get costumes and they give you poses and stuff for free and can get creative with your character like the console Senran Kagura games. The story is fun water sport story and and the characters are cute and fun to be around with as you interact with them. I hated the gacha in New Link as the gacha rates are so bad that I quit at the same day I started but in Dolphin Wave, the gacha rate are reasonable and they give you free gems everyday. It is also easy to earn gems without paying and to this day I haven't spent a dime. It's a fun game that I wish it was a console game instead and I only give it a 4 star due to the gacha elements.

A lot of people didn't give this game credit as Gust and DMM made the protagonist Male but really the game story is actually pretty good and is important to the Blue Reflection universe. It has a great cast of characters and even the MC is pretty likable. The MC Leader-kun doesn't really have interesting qualities since he suppose to represent the player but during date scenes he's pretty funny. Sadly this game should've been a console game as the gacha elements and rates are pretty terrible. The gameplay is okay at best but it relies on supports which is kind of bad since the gacha rates like I said earlier is awful. Hopefully this game gets better over time because the story is really good but dropped down by the gacha elements.
