![]() ![]() After a while, *gasp* you can’t get him to be your partner. He has his fangirls cockblocking him in all directions so he has little alone time and whenever Sabrina tries to get close, his two henchwomen of fangirls get all like “Who are you? What makes you think you deserve to talk to him?” Seriously, those kinds of girls I’d like to pull out their hair. This guy was “meh” because he wasn’t that interesting. Getting this guy as your partner was slightly tricky to the point where if you’re not lucky enough, then you have to resort to a FAQ to figure out how because there’s only like one or two days open for you to get him as your partner. Klaus Route: This guy was the 2nd guy I was willing to go for because he looked decent. Other than that, you repeat these steps (no pun intended) over and over again until you reach the end of the game. ![]() If you mess up, your partner’s affection for you lowers and you can tell that you are doing well when the heart meter on top fills up and the portraits of you and your partner will be next to each other. The only purpose dancing serves is to either increase your stamina so you can dance to more songs or increase your partner’s affection points. The game definitely makes sure that you don’t skip your way by forcing you to at least once a day. You pretty much spend all of your days tapping various locations on the DS to trigger an event with a guy or go straight to dance practice. You can only play through the blue classical set first, and then play the red, Latin set in the next playthrough, and each playthrough switches back and forth.įunny how the 3D models look older than the characters… There are about 8 songs or so, for both the classical and Latin categories of dance. There are about 15 outfits in total or so, getting them from various story events as well as getting outfits in the form of personal gifts from whichever guy you pick. Gameplay: For the first two playthroughs, I can guarantee for those hungry for 100% completion will be busy trying to unlock all the songs and outfits for your heroine, Sabrina. She switches places with the princess and here goes her wacky adventure into living like a princess. In this moment, there’s the “But thou Must” TV Trope going on here because Sabrina doesn’t have a choice in the matter. Being the lazy bitch girl she is, the princess insists that Sabrina switch places with her and participate in the ball. This princess is from a kingdom that loves to dance (seriously, WTH? Can’t that kingdom do anything productive?) and the princess is expected to find a partner. Instead, Sabrina goes home and then later that day, a princess and a talking rodent jumped out of her closet. ![]() The lists goes off of the stereotypical playboy, popular boy, nerd, sissy, class clown, and the childhood male friend, but that doesn’t matter because those guys don’t apply at all to this game. Her childhood friend who has absolutely no important role in the entire game asks her about the guys at her school (hint: foreshadowing of the guys…). Story: The game starts off in a modern city where Sabrina (default name, you can change it) wishes there was some kind of prince charming that existed in the world. This kind of gameplay definitely makes itself stand out from the standard fare of pressing/clicking your way through tons of dialogue. I guess what pushed it’s localization is that Princess Debut is also a rhythm game where the player uses the stylus to trace a large circle in patterns that resemble actual dance maneuvers. Besides Yo-Jin-Bo, this was the only other localized otome game I have played (I don’t count Persona 3 Portable because it just has otome elements in it The entire game is not an otome game with the heroine). Oh god, how many years has it been since this game came out? 3 years, maybe? Anyways, for being one of the very few actual otome games that was localized, Princess Debut was not that bad. ![]()
