Well, Lux-Pain came out today for the DS and I was wondering if anyone else has played through it yet. The game is like Phoenix Wright meets Trauma Center as in you investigate a town to discover who is behind a series of sucides/murders. In order for you to get more information you use a device that lets you zero in on what a person is hiding and you have to attack a glowing yellow worm that is in the person and defeat it in order the view what they are thinking. It really is weird and hard to explain unless you played it that is why I used a Trauma Center reference. So far the game is really nice although it would be better if you could save during the middle of your investigation I screwed around too much had to start back at the last save because I didn't question a person on time. It is definitely better then Jake Hunter! Also the game comes with a really nice art book with it even though it is small the artwork is beautiful and in color, also for some reason Atsuki Saijo reminds me of the main protagonist from Persona 4. |

I changed my mind on getting this game on how hearing badly translated it was. (Didn't do the TWEWY-approach for one thing: I heard it Americanized the setting and whatnot) |

I was going to pre-order the game, but decided to wait till I saw reviews. Knowing me, though, I'll probably still get the game. I've been getting random adventure DS games lately just to stave off my thirst for Kenji Eh, I don't mind Americanized settings to a certain point. Yeah, it's highly annoying sometimes (*cough*there's an old japanese-esque town with spirit channelers two hours away from los angelas?*cough*), but it can't be as bad as some of the dubs of children anime (*cough*4Kids*cough*). So I'm not that worried. But, I want to see what others think, first. Man, I really have a problem with coughing. ugh, I hate colds...

Same for me, but the reviews are making me think I'm not going to get it... (I still need to decide between Flower, Sun, and Rain and Avalon Code, but at least it makes my decision a little easier...) |

Got it yesterday.. one thing that is annoying is that what the characters say out loud and what comes up on the screen as text can be different sometimes, I just don't understand how the studio could have let that happen, couldn't they have just changed the text to match what they were saying? Also agree with the OP about lack of save points (unless there is actually a way to save at will, if there is one then, OK, I'm stupid!). |

It needs technical explaining, you must figure most of the game's system (not plot, nothing plot-related) by yourself. For example, I just learned the Special Move, and nobody explained me how to do it :\ |

Ah Lux-Pain, it came off as a very interesting game when I saw some previews of it on a certain game site. The characters are pretty interesting, but the opening of this game was incredibly confusing. And when you get the chance to 'scratch,' I was wondering if anyone would be able to understand how to kill the little buggers in there. It took me some time to understand the controls, but after that things went smoothly. Until I read the text and heard the conflicting voices. The text is filled with contradictions (heh, still got that AA spirit) and typos, and the voices that don't match the text makes it even more confusing to know what they're even talking about. On a positive note, the graphics and music are beautiful. I watched the Opening scene many times because of how interesting it was! It also has opportunities for you to choose how the hero reacts to questions other characters ask, so it has a visual novel-esque feeling more than an action game. Spoiler: Actual Lux-Pain Spoilers In the end, good game, but it needs major improvements in translating and matching voices with words, and tutorials would be nice, especially for those of us who don't know how to 'scratch up stuff'. xD; *Also, don't play this game for 9-12 hours, you'll get a freakish paranoid feeling. D: Or maybe that's just me.. |

XD Akira telling him to say his 'feelings' to Akira's dad without realising what he meant XD Also, how do you beat it so fast? I just started another game (I beat it a few days ago) I saw Shunichi hanging outside the cake shop, staring at Akira's dad and he was giggling and ran off :DDD AAHGH, Kiryu >< I don't like him.. stealin my ryo >] (How do you know if you get the good ending?)

... BL pairings? XD;; I thought that thread I read in GameFAQs was a joke (something about going on a date with Lt. Tanaka...) I had a feeling Lux-Pain is part dating-sim because I got a bonus scene with Nami. ^^; Actually, thinking about it, you're building relationships with other people, which doesn't necessarily mean dating, right? XD Hanging out is fine.... But, ah, seriously, how serious is this Ryo x Atsuki thing? XD My Atsuki very friendly with Ryo, at the moment, hu hu.... ~~ The English is horrible, but not unintelligible. =X I'll just roll with what they're saying and correct them in my mind. Other than that, I am enjoying this game. :3 Just took a SILENT from Yamato. I've read that the developers (Killaware and Marvelous) themselves translated the game, not Ignition which published the game in America. o-O; While that doesn't excuse them for not proofreading, it at least explains a lot. |

You can get scenes where you go on 'dates' with some of the characters. When I beat the game I unlocked a 'date' with Nami scene. I reeeeally loved this game, though I got the same ending that was mentioned earlier. There's a couple stuff that was mentioned here as well that I missed, and I really love Atsuki x Akira xDD "Atsuki! I'm going to bake lots of cakes so you better try all of them, ok?!" he said that to me xD |

Anyone have favorite characters? Mine's Ryo Unami <3 I haven't finished the game yet though. I kinda got bored but I plan on going back to it. There's BL in this game? o_o I remember a part where one of the characters said something about having 'feelings' for Akira's dad and getting all flustered, but that's about it. xD I wish it was easier to understand what people were talking about in that game.

Haha, not BL necessarily, I think, though I'm actually kind of wondering about what exactly gives some of the above posters' the impression that Atsuki can actually be "paired" off with someone.... Those bonus scenes in the archives don't have anything to do with the game. XD;; I only have Nami Part 1, which is a pseudo-date (she's just following him around or dragging him to places....) I'm not far yet, and I won't be playing it again until this weekend. OTL I'm curious how Akira's dad looks .... Atsuki promised to visit his bakery :'D |

ahh, the guy with feelings for Akira's dad? I think that was actually just a misunderstanding, but in fact he is gay. just not necessarily into Akira's dad. his name's.. Inugami? I think? the guy at Deep Sea. yeah, i went and talked to him one day and he asked me if I had a girlfriend, I told him no (it wasn't really a yes or no response, but I can't remember exactly what it said). He got surprised and a little embarassed, but then offered to listen if Atsuki had anything he might want to talk about (i.e. probably something to do with 'coming to terms' with homosexuality or something. At least, that's how I view it.) I think it's really just trying to be a non-discriminating game in terms of sexuality. |

XD I just finished the game two days ago. It was alright, but it seems that I didn't get a certain ending I wanted. And I don't think I unlocked everything, so I'll have to play through it again. DX It sucks that there's no walkthrough for this game, so it's hard to pick and choose to get the good ending, but oh well. ^^' The story is okay, a bit too emo for my taste, but what kept me going were the characters. I find the characters very fun (though Shinji and Mika annoy me quite a bit blegh). The voice acting is decent too. I'm sure everyone has already said this, but the translations are HORRIBLE. Misspellings everywhere, weird diction, AGH. Oh well. Seeing as this game was made by a small company (well, I've never heard of it), I guess they can pass a little. Oh yeah, and the voice dialogue not matching the written dialogue bothers me too. The thing that makes my inner fangirl giggle is the countless amounts of implied shounen-ai in the game. XD It's cute. Overall it's fun to play through, it could be better, but eh. ^^' |

The localization is shocking, is why I played it to start with for the shock factor. When you get over that though, it is a pretty ok adventure-like game but I did play it early in the morning (the wee-ams) with the lights off, so it kind of freaked me out with some of the noises and thought things you find. I actully liked it in the end, though the character is a bit emo and it seems odd for such an emo kid to be so liked by everyone else... Hmm, the voice issue is a bit of a problem but at times it helps to know what the engrish is trying to say. A game I played around the same time as this is one called Time Hollow, I liked that too but disliked the lead character, somehow the two games seem to me to be 'samish' Now that I actully re-looked at this game, I have so much left scene wise to unlock, gaah!

Like I said, the text translation itself was done in Japan, so it was never localized by Ignition. Ignition DID handle the dubbing, though, which explains why the dub and texts are different. I don't consider Atsuki as "emo" though I think it's because I am not very far into the game (I suffered the dead end in chapter 7). From what I remember, when he looks into the minds of others, it also opens a way into his mind in some way, so the consequence is that he is kind of rendered "unemotional"? I don't know. XD;; I just want to say, Lux-Pain is more of a visual novel than any other text game that came out in English. I just want to throw that out, since a lot of people still have Phoenix Wright in their minds when it comes to visual novels like this and Time Hollow. edit: Pigeon_Maiden wrote: The thing that makes my inner fangirl giggle is the countless amounts of implied shounen-ai in the game.

This game is confusing and has a horrible localization/translation. But I can't help but freakin' love it :D And I loved every character, too. Finished it yesterday, and I'm already playing it again. It's pretty creepy sometimes... I get a little paranoid when I play it at night.. Plus it's so sad and tragic. And easy to play. I like easy games :D Got the happy ending, though I think it was pretty sad. But what happens in the bad ending? I wanna know. As for pairings... Spoiler: Is there any way to save Hidaka and Kyosuke? They died when I played the game :< And feel free to correct my English. |

This game was awesome! My absolute favourite scene was on the last day, when Suzu, Ryo & Kiryu were talking and she started speculating that they were dating and started an argument over who topped ! And after that, she asks whether Unami or Kiryu would confess, and then you get a scene of how she imagines it woud go. I literally sat there and lolled my face off wishing there was something like that in PW & pairings wise, I like Ryo / Atsuki & Akira / Atsuki although Natsuki / Atsuki would have been cute if she hadn't been 13 and spent the entire game dressed like a lolita

Plus they have some pretty good VAs in there... I'm really dreading the end of this game cuz I get the feeling it's going to be horribly depressing. I was wondering if anyone would happen to know a site where you could get the ringtones from the game? I want the doggies and kitties Ode to Joy... Is there a way to stop Mako from dying? Cuz I put the game down for a month after that cuz I was really sad about it... But I'm sure this is just an exercise in futility... |

Nope, the death is canon. As are the CIA agent's and the freelance detective's (don't feel like revealing the names). Others you can prevent, though I never tried not preventing. ^^; The ending isn't depressing, though that depends on how you look at it. |
