Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

The game officially begins, and the opening is an animated CG.

In the warm dim light, a girl in military uniform follows another tall young man, walking in the market one after the other.

However, the girl stopped when passing a roadside stall.

The major walked a few steps and then noticed that the girl beside him did not catch up, so he turned around and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"I have the major's eyes," Violet raised her head, "The same color as the major's eyes."

A brooch as deep as the sea water lay quietly on the stall, but when it was close-up, it was refracted by the light with a beautiful color, which was a bit dreamy.

And the next moment, the major's face appeared in the camera.

He had the same deep green eyes.

Hearing Violet's words, the major's eyes changed slightly, as if he couldn't help crying in the next second.

Violet gently held her chest with her hands and said uneasily:

"What should I call this feeling when I see this?"

...

The music flowed slowly,

The color of the brooch gradually changed like a vortex.

Then a green forest was formed, and above the dense jungle, there was a blue sky and beautiful clouds.

...

The camera suddenly turned, and the lush forest that was quiet and healing in the last second turned into a battlefield with artillery fire in the next second.

The bullet hit the metal car shell, making a crisp sound.

A group of soldiers were charging.

Among them were the major and Violet.

Soon, this group of soldiers fell into a dangerous predicament, and the major and Violet and others were surrounded in the cathedral.

The bullet hit the major's abdomen, and blood splattered.

In order to rescue the Major, Violet killed an enemy soldier at the cost of her left arm, and then she had no bullets to shoot; in order to avoid the enemy's grenade, she used her right hand to protect the Major and was blown into the corridor and lost her right hand.

The beginning was so tragic, and it was just an opening animation. Yamada Masaharu was shocked.

No way?

Is this really a game?

Who wrote this script?

The heroine lost both arms at the beginning?

Oh, he suddenly remembered that Violet had a pair of mechanical hands in the main interface and official PV at the beginning.

Now everything can be explained.

But...

In such a short few minutes of opening full of infinite tension and drama, Yamada Masaharu saw the Major's concern for Violet and the bond between the two.

He even became a little worried.

War is indeed cruel. This is not the first time that Pokeni has made a war-themed game, but it is rare to achieve such a level at the beginning.

Fortunately...

The Major should be the male protagonist, right?

Yamada Masaharu heaved a sigh of relief.

Since he is the protagonist, he will not die. Otherwise, how can the story continue in the future?

This is just the beginning.

It should be that when pokeni was made, some difficulties were deliberately created so that the future game can continue.

Yes, that must be the case.

After dealing with several enemies, Violet carried the body of the major and walked step by step towards the passage of the church.

At this time, it can be described as despair. They waited for reinforcements for a long time and didn't even know if they would die in the next moment.

Even Violet, now she has no arms and is bleeding.

If this goes on, both of them may fall here.

But...

The body of the major was too heavy, and he tilted to one side and fell to the ground.

"Major!"

Violet shouted loudly.

The Major barely managed to sit against the wall, his fingers drooping as he looked at the blonde girl in front of him with difficulty, "Run! Don't worry about me...Run!"

"I will never! Never let the Major die!"

Even with her teeth, Violet still bit the Major's clothes, trying to drag him to a safe place.

Seeing Violet biting the Major's clothes desperately, Yamada Masaharu was a little tearful.

Is this necessary, pokeni?

Is it so sensational from the beginning?

Thinking of this, Yamada Masaharu quickly crawled to the side and picked up the game disc to take a look.

Sure enough, the supervisor is [Aokiji], it's actually Aokiji?

No wonder I said why it's so familiar?

It turned out to be the producer of "Mushishi", and it was because of the "Mushishi" series that the name Aokiji was brought back.

Now here in "Violet Evergarden", the sense of déjà vu of Mushishi is too strong.

Violet burst into impotent rage, biting the Major's clothes, but couldn't drag him at all.

However, the blood on the Major's chest had soaked through his clothes, and it looked like he could not survive.

"Enough."

The Major whispered.

"No!"

"Enough!" The Major roared.

Tears flowed down his face, fell to the ground and mixed with the blood, and then crawled down the stairs.

In this situation, Violet also became tearful.

"Major..."

"Live!" The Major raised his head with difficulty and looked at the small, beautiful girl with long golden hair in front of him.

"Violet, you have to live...live freely."

"I love you sincerely."

"Love...what is love?!"

The girl cried sadly, repeating the same words over and over again, "What is love?!"

"I don't understand! Major!"

The artillery bombarded, and the rubble above the entire church fell.

The Major gathered his remaining strength and rushed forward to hug Violet.

The dirt and rocks flew.

The screen suddenly went black.

The music stopped abruptly.

...

"What the hell?!"

Shoji Yamada's heart skipped a beat.

No way?

The Major died?

Did he die in the opening CG?

The male protagonist died?

Can you believe this? !

Isn't it...

Shoji Yamada was in great shock, and was completely stunned by the old thief Qing Zhiyuan's actions. Isn't Qing Zhiyuan too inhuman?

Good man, who would throw a knife at the beginning?

And this knife is really sharp, and it can catch people off guard.

...

What is love? !

Pokeni did not give a clear answer.

After that, there were only a few gorgeous transitions:

In the starry sky, the Milky Way shines, emitting charming light.

Time flows, shining like a river.

The green pupils of people have the same charming vortex-like light...

It seems to be back to the beginning, telling Violet that the brooch looks like the eyes of the major.

...

It is beautiful.

And it has a special sense of artistic conception.

But Yamada Masaharu really wants to kill Qing Zhiyuan.

...

Then, the girl with long golden hair slowly opened her eyes.

The camera zoomed out, and Violet was lying on the bed.

There was a white light around.

The girl's long golden hair was spread on the bed like seaweed, and the whole person looked like a blooming flower.

Yamada Masaharu saw her appearance and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Pokeni's painting of girls is really amazing, and this time the brushstrokes are obviously more delicate.

He felt that with this kind of picture quality and style, he could watch it for a year, even if there was no plot.

The girl was obviously seriously injured, and she raised her hand and uttered a low moan.

However, when her hand was exposed on the TV, Yamada Masaharu noticed that it was completely wrapped in gauze.

…

"Major Gilbert, today is the 102nd day of hospitalization."

"Your physical strength has been restored to a large extent."

"Even if you are slightly inconvenient to move, you can still perform the mission."

"Request to return to the mission immediately."

…

So far, the screen switched from the opening CG to the real-life game.

The transition was quite natural, which is also the animation rendering effect that Pokeni is proud of. After two generations of Mushi masters' continuous progress, it can now be done quite delicately.

Yamada Masaharu controlled the heroine to sit up from the bed, walked around the hospital for a while, talked to the nurse next to him, and roughly understood that a man named Hawkins would come to pick her up today.

People who know Violet habitually call her "weapon". This is a girl with a girlish appearance, who fights when ordered and has no emotional experience. It can even be said that she is just a "tool" for fighting.

Just after her health improved, a red-haired man found her.

Lieutenant Colonel Hawkins, formerly a soldier of the Kingdom of Leidingsheftrich, is currently the president of the C.H Postal Company.

He is also Violet's guardian.

...

Violet is wearing a light blue European-style long skirt, which is completely different from her original image of a soldier.

At this time, she showed a unique side of a girl.

Although she still doesn't know what human emotions are, Violet is too outstanding in terms of the appearance of the girl herself.

For some reason, Yamada Masaharu saw the shadow of my king in her.

But there are also great differences.

If the two are similar, it is probably the cute image of blonde hair and blue eyes, plus the light blue-based clothing and the usual style of Pokeni, which gives people a special impression.

However, if there are differences, there are still big differences.

Violet is obviously taller, and the expression on her face is different from her usual habits.

She lacks the unique firmness of my king, and is more confused.

But sometimes she is very firm, and Violet's firmness is reflected in her obsession with the major.

In Qing Zhiyuan's game setting:

She wants to return to the major no matter what, and the meaning of her existence is to find the major and complete her mission as a [tool].

More importantly, the major is the one who gave her life again on the battlefield.

Before the major was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he shouted [I must live and then find the meaning of existence. ]

I hope she can live as a new human being.

This is the love that the major has for her.

He also hopes that Violet can find the meaning of love, so that she can respond to himself.

...

After that, Violet followed Hawkins to his postal company. There are several girls in this company who are called [Auto-memory dolls], who specialize in writing letters for others.

When he first arrived, he happened to meet an illiterate guest who wanted to send a letter to the girl he loved, so the Auto-Memory Doll Cattleya Baudelaire wrote a letter with a kind tone but deep feelings to express his thoughts and love.

The letter ended with "I love you".

Hearing this, Violet was suddenly shaken.

She said that she also wanted to figure out what love is, so she hoped that Hawkins would let her stay and become an "Auto-Memory Doll", hoping to experience what the Major said about love in the process of conveying love.

So in this case, Hawkins agreed.

The game can be regarded as opening a new chapter.

…

The gameplay of Violet Evergarden is a bit like the future "Diver Dave\

,"except that "Violet Evergarden" replaced fishing with collecting entries.

It is equivalent to turning Violet's thinking process into a boundless sea of ​​entries.

This is also borrowed from the Japanese drama "The Shipwreck".

In "The Boat Compilation", the male protagonist played by Ryuhei Matsuda is an editor who devotes his life to compiling a new dictionary "The Great Crossing".

He spent his life searching for entries and sorting them into the dictionary.

One person, one life, one dictionary.

The dictionary is boundless, but he and his editor colleagues have to compile a boat that can cross the sea in such a vast ocean, so one scene is-

Ryuhei Matsuda feels overwhelmed by the vast ocean formed by countless entries, and he is completely out of breath.

The inspiration for the entries comes from "The Great Crossing", but Qing Zhiyuan uses the expression method in Mushishi.

This ink-and-wash style of mischief, with distinct personalities, swims around like fish stained with ink.

Violet is fishing in such a sea.

It can be said to be quite poetic and romantic.

Collect entries, write letters, and you don't have to type them manually. Instead, they will be automatically activated after you have collected all the entries. If you fail to collect all the entries, the activated letters will also change, and the evaluation will be different.

While writing letters, you also have to deliver letters so that each other's thoughts can be conveyed to each other.

The main body of the game is divided into two parts:

One is to capture entries, and the other is to write and deliver letters to earn rewards, and then continue to upgrade with the money earned.

After playing to this point, Yamada Masaharu couldn't help but admire it.

I thought it might be a boring game to death, but I didn't expect it to be quite interesting.

More importantly, in this city, what kind of commission to accept, what kind of people to find, and dig out their respective stories are all decided by the players themselves, and only time is passing.

It has a high degree of freedom and openness, and at the same time, everyone has a moving story.

This makes Yamada Masaharu very satisfied.

Ah...

Except for pokeni.

It's really hard to imagine that any other game company can be so bold and make the game to this level.

This is probably what Qing Zhiyuan called a slow game, right?
