Holy Crap this game is weird.
The roster is weird.
The BG's are weird.
The whole 'Marriage' theme is weird.
The idea of 'ROTD' meets 'NPI' is weird.
But most of all...
The music and the lyrics are just plain bizarre. I cannot possibly comment on the gameplay without first addressing the issue of the music.
Evil Wasabi talked awhile ago about the 'Internet' song. For those of you who missed that post, there is a song (and an accompanying video that plays on a big screen in the background) that sings about how wonderful the Internet is.
Weirder than that is the 'French Fry Song'. I don't know what the real title is... the Japanese title is 'Chiisaina Shiawase' or something like that... it translates to 'It's the Little Things that Keep Us Happy'... the song lyrics and video are about a very depressed woman who goes to a 'Denny's' style restaurant.
'When I'm depressed,' she sings, 'I go to a Denny's style restaurant to eat... I order a Hamburger Plate... but the thing I like best are the French Fries... they are a very small thing, but they make me so happy... so I save them for last...'
Then on the video screen it shows the word balloon of the waitress saying 'I'll just clear away your dirty dishes ma'am...'
Cut to the face of the singer, then a word balloon that says 'NOOOOOOOOOOO!' (Her beloved French Fries have been cleared away before she can finish them.)
The rest of the song is the singer lamenting her stolen happiness.
I'm going back to play some more... I'll write more about the game itself in a bit...
In the meantime though, all I can say is:
WEIRD
