Geten no Hana Yumeakari (下天の華 夢灯り, roughly translated as "Flower of the Human World Dream Light") is the direct sequel to Geten no Hana. It was first revealed to the public during the live stage event, Geten no Hana Hotarumi no Utage. Various interviews and commentary were gradually revealed within the Otome game magazine, B's Log.
The Treasure Box edition of Geten no Hana Yumeakari includes Hayate Kuku's original artwork, a drama script, a drama CD, character image song, original soundtrack, illustrated boards, and trinkets featuring deformed cast members. The Twin Pack edition includes the original game and art cards, and reservation bonuses are available at various Japanese stores. The Gamecity Set includes an apron and deformed cast towel.
Plot[]
Nobunaga Oda survives Honnōji and resumes conquests, while Hideyoshi completes pacification mission. Hotaru, protagonist, protects Azuchi Castle as "Shield of Azuchi" from enemy spies.
Changes[]
Like other Neoromance fan disc games, the general gameplay remains the same with the following changes.
Players are tasked with protecting castle grounds from spies, or the protagonist's job as the "Shield of Azuchi." They encounter red icons, which activate a "Transformation Battle" where players must find pairs within their set of face-down cards. The harder the battle, the more cards are needed. Each opponent has a weak point, and correctly matching pairs can form combos.
Ninjutsu can be used during these sequences. The spell's effectiveness is determined by their level, and experience is earned only if the protagonist uses them ( to use and L to select). One spell can be used once per battle. Spells can be leveled up by training, which has been altered to be makeshift Transformation Battles, to reach the optimum level (level 10). The three spells are:
- Clairvoyance (千里眼) - momentarily reveals the identity of face-down cards.
- Kunai (くない) - deals no damage but increases the number of hits within the player's combo.
- Provisions (兵糧丸) - heals the protagonist's health.
Successfully completing a battle rewards flowers and gratification, and a five-chain combo also rewards incense. Incense can boost affinity and conversation options. Failing to defeat intruders increases Doubt stat, which can be reduced by clearing a Transformation Battle. The story has six chapters and eleven endings.
Other changes different from the original game include the following:
- The player can track progress for main story objectives by reading the courtesy message or visually checking for orange/golden text within the menu.
- The Doubt stat is shared amongst the main cast as opposed to assigned to individual characters. Transformation Battles are the only means of altering it.
- Battle difficulty can be altered between easy, normal or hard.
- Button Actions are now randomized.
- Pressing Start during training, Button Actions or Transformation Battles allows an instant do-over with no repercussions. Before Yumeakari presented this option, the player would have to reload from a previous save slot or press the retry button after failing.
- Specific flowers can be obtained during designated times of day: morning = spotted bellflower (ホタルブクロ); noon = Japanese bellflower (キキョウ); night = cape jasmine (クチナシ). They can earned by successfully completing a training session or a Transformation Battle. A flawless finish rewards the player with an extra flower.
- Incense and flowers can be accumulated and used after a cleared game to unlock new images within an individual character's gallery in the Extras menu.
- New music tracks are in the game.
- Momoji now has a character icon on the map to indicate his personal events.
- Different character portraits are present for all characters.
- The dialogue framing is decorated by a character's symbolic item during their personal events.
