Partly thanks to that, ExcessM manages to create likeable characters, be it the "
ganbatte!!" ballsy MC or the extremely diverse onee-sans. Immersion is made easier in a coherent world, which is only possible with proper understanding of what kind of game you're developing. Not to mention some insight about what's going on in the females' head.
That's where zzinzinz excels: they know what they like, understand it well, and as a result they manage to gather much more players/customers than the average competition in similar categories - that would otherwise be
very restrictive.
In short: broad horizons open up opportunitites. A narrow mind, shuts 'em out.
Aaanyway, I was kind of hoping the "personalities" concept would be used to give the player some limited control over what happens. Like, having overall more sweet kiss-needy girls, or more aggressive ones less interested in body contact (other than with their fists). I'd be surprised if they weren't planning to make the most out of the new mechanics.
I'll be turning on the blood btw. Fite me.
