Before I get to the main point of this post, I’d like to write something that refers to this blog as a whole. It’s been a really long time since I posted here. I feel kind of sad, but also feel that it can’t be helped. Both me and biscuit are pretty busy with our lives, and when it comes to me I was never really good at writing regularly to begin with. Despite that, we still decided to keep this blog (well, it was mainly me because I just can’t bring myself to getting rid of what was written here, and I’m still hoping that one day we will come back to writing about otome games and related things). Also I’m sorry to anyone who was waiting (and maybe is still waiting) for more Sugita corners, as most likely I won’t write any more of them (at least not in the near future). While Sugita is still among my most favourite seiyuus ever, I have come to like a few other seiyuus since then, and it’s hard for me to focus on only one of them right now. I’m also trying to use most of my free time to play RPGs and – not nearly as often – otome games.
Now, even though this blog has seen no activity for a long time, I don’t want this post to look like it’s completely out of nowhere, so here’s some explanation. What’s written here is some additional information about the world of the Kiseki series of games, created by Nihon Falcom. I’m doing this for my friend who has recently started playing Sen no Kiseki. Since she haven’t played any of the other games in the series, I thought that it’d be nice to give her some background info about the world it takes place in, because it’s vast and there’s a lot of connections throughout all games and some things may be confusing for someone who started from Sen. I love this series with all my heart, as it is as close to my ideal RPG as it can get, and since yukiru is also interested in its setting, I thought I may as well write about it for her (also because it’s a lot of fun to do xD). So, once again, this is mainly a personal post written for a friend. If you somehow stumble upon it, feel free to read it if you’re interested, but please don’t expect any insights or very in-depth info about the games. It is also neither a review nor a summary. It may be useful to someone who started playing Kiseki games from Sen and would like to know a bit more without having to play previous games or looking at the Japanese wiki, but not really to those who have followed it since the beginning (or even since Zero).
