Piofiore - Fated Memories
It seems like ever since I got to knew (and love) Katekyo Hitman Reborn, mafia themed stuff is following me everywhere.
After KHR it was BSD, then it was Ozmafia! - a really awesome otome game based on the wizard of Oz.
And now I found a new gem among Otome Games: Piofiore.
I only finished Dantes routes but I already fell in love with almost every character (even side ones) so far. Except for Yang and his yandere madness mafia gang. I hate them from the bottom of my heart.
and.. does anyone else got angry that Leo didn’t has a route?!
Leo is such a sweet cinnamon roll. I’ve liked him from the very beginning. He never seemed like the typical mafia guy at all. He has a kind heart and always seems to smile and tries his very best to fullfill his duties and take care of the MC.
I really really wondered, that he hasn’t a route..
(but then again, I also hated that you couldn’t romance Musashi, the MC’s bodyguard in “Men of Yoshiwara: Ohgiya, either -_-)
Though still love Leo the most after Gilbert and Dante.
I really enjoyed Dantes route though (except for the bad endings and the tragic ending was soo damn shitty. I mean.. really Dante? You kill Gilbert and form an alliance with YANG?! WTF is wrong with you..)
Dance was really cold and distant at first. I imagined his personality be between Akutagawa and Fukuzawa (more like Fukuzawa though, Dante became the boss of the Falzone family at a very young age and was forced to mature quickly).
But at the end, it turned out that he was just a really kind-hearted and pure soul that despises how the mafia works. He has to act as a boss with torturing his enemies when he has to, but deep in his heart, he just wants to protect the town and his family. And of course in his route, the love of his life.
It was quite romantic to think of, that he loved the MC since so many years he had to watch her from the shadows and when she became aware of her fate, he was more than happy to take her into his custody.
I really like him and enjoyed the route so far (except from lack of romance. I mean.. they literally confess at one night with a passionate kiss and a day after this, they act like nothing happened.)
Nicola is the next route I gonna play (mostly because the game kinda forces a .. certain chronology of playing the routes, so I have to bear with every other Love Interest before I can go for Gilberts route :>) and to be completely honest.. I never trusted him in Dante’s route. Really. He has a typical “Dazai-like” aura around him, just that he is smiling, flirting and almost eerie calm most of the time, regardless of the situation.
I never trusted his smile and I thought he would want to take over Dante’s position as boss. Since he is just his “cousin”.
But.. I have to admit he surprised me in the good endings of Dante’s routes.
For the bad endings..
I just have ONE thing to say:
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE CHARACTERS?!
First it was Lan that gone crazy, like REALLY crazy. Yang is a psychopath from the beginning and even worse than Zenos from FFXIV.. and Nicola is .. just a fucking yandere over Dante in Dante’s bad endings O___o
Though I started to like him in the good endings, so I am curious about his route. Because he would be so charming and handsome, if he wasn’t such a deceiving lyer.
And this is Gilbert. Man, Shoutaro Morikobu really has a thing for my Love Interests in Otome Games. He spoke every character I fell for in such games:
Souji Okita - Hakuouki
Takao - Men of Yoshiwara: Kikuya
Gilbert Redford - Piofiore
Just tooo bad that he doesn’t do R18 tracks *dreamy sigh*
Err... sorry, I got a bit carried away..
Anyway, Gilbert leads the Visconti Family and has different ways of thinking as Dante. That’s why they don’t get along too well except they are forced to. Though, even though Gilbert somehow managed to look like a cruel dude in Dante’s tragic ending, I actually think that he has a very friendly character. He treats the MC well, even while the MC is *held hostage* by him. And he has friends among the civilians - even from other town districts. You can even call him by his nickname “Gil”. And how many mafia bosses allow you to call them by their nickname, even when you barely know them?
I also heard, that his route is more romantic as Dante’s .. so.. yeah I am quite looking forward to his route. <3
(I already started writing a fic about my OC and the game.. holy fuck.)
and yeah, I forgot Orlok, but he got some bad minus points for killing Dante and Gil in his routes and . something he did in Dantes route, but I forget what it was D:
