IMO, it must be more exciting than that stupid "Royal Quest" game I keep seeing advertised on the banner.

Osomatsu 4 (actually 1) life...

This sounds like one of those improbable things someone would try to rationalize by saying "well, the possibility that it COULD happen in one parallel universe EXISTS..."

I really need to get around to watching this show...so, I'm assuming the character designs will be based on their bishonen designs?

I hope we can date normal matsubros not F6... I wouldn't mind F6 cameos for humour though. Give me painfully embarassing Kara to date and I'll be happy.



Can we date Dayon.

So if it's a dating sim I guess the objective of the game would be to make it through without ending up with any of them

Huh, I didn't even consider they might use the F6 versions. Those are funny in the anime, but I feel like an Osomatsu game would lose some of its appeal if it went with them. As of their latest segment, they exist primarily to parody those high school reverse harem settings. Which is great and all, but sticking them in an otome game without their "real" personalities would be a real loss. They don't have the same intensity, selfish streaks, general idiocy, or those great facial expressions. It would probably end up feeling too much like a regular otome game, honestly.

I would totally play an Osomatsu game with their usual looks though. I wanna see what those endings would be. Like even the "better" ones aren't really functioning adults and can be pretty terrible people. Plus if you wind up with one you probably wind up dealing with the rest anyway. They're basically a package deal.

A dating sim featuring them sounds like it could be the plot of an episode.
I've never wanted to play an Otome game more than this.

Unless they get permission from Broccoli, the company who owns the rights to UtaPri, which was the series that F6 was parodying, they're not going to use F6. And we all know how protective Broccoli is over their properties.

Nah, I think it'll be more along the lines of "Which schmuck will you choose?". I'd still play it though as long as it doesn't take itself too seriously.

I'm a guy, and I'd play it just to see how painful Karamatsu gets to be with...that is, if they don't use their F6 versions (which would be kinda lame and dismiss any charm the game could have had, in my opinion).
