Kiniro no Corda 4 (金色のコルダ4, officially called La Corda d'oro 4) is the fully voiced continuation of Kiniro no Corda 3. It was first announced to the public on stage at Neoromance ♥ Festa Kiniro no Corda Jinnan Koukou Op.2.
The Treasure Box and Platinum Box editions of the game Corda 4 come with event illustrations, romantic message CDs, ensemble compositions, and fastener charms. Reserved by December 14, 2015, players can receive postcards, a custom PS Vita theme, and a serial for in-game ensembles. The Gamecity Set includes a mock pamphlet for weekend concerts and four metal charms. Pre-order bonuses vary by store outlet.
Plot[]
Corda 4 is set one month after Seiso wins the national high school tournament. The protagonist and her childhood friend Kyoya enjoy the humdrum of their second year until their junior classmate Haruto invites them to take part in a weekend concert. Although the experience is hectic, the protagonist becomes hooked on live performances. She seeks to join and create ensembles with everyone she met during the summer.
Gameplay[]
The game reminisces the beats from Kiniro no Corda 2 and Kiniro no Corda 2 encore, with the goal of planning and performing concerts. Returning characters have new winter uniforms, formal wear, and casual attire. Players can form ensembles using any main character, mixing between schools, and have friendship parameters.
A new feature being introduced is the mentor system. If the protagonist wants to practice alone, she has the option of asking one of five mentors for help. The player can choose to focus on improving her technical level or her expertise with the three expressions (Elegant 清麗, Radiant 彩華, Melancholy 愁情). Effects will vary on the mentor and composition selected. Achieving a "Great Success" result boosts the selected parameters dramatically. Drawbacks to this system include potentially weak rewards and greater fatigue ratings for the protagonist.
Concerts in Yokohama, Kobe, or Sendai can affect Bravo Points (BP) awarded. Maestro Field sequences are no longer determined by musical composition, but each character has a gauge. Male character parameters are represented on an "Approach Grid," with players balancing their feelings for the protagonist to unlock personal events. Kazuo Funaki's miniature character icons are used for character icons.
Downloadable content so far includes ensemble compositions.
