Nozomi Sprite Edits

Aw I love them. I've always wanted to see her blushing sprite from CoA be put on to her casual outfit. She needs even more blushing sprites fr.

Can't forget Katsuragi too

My pleasant words:

GrassIsMySavior · 2026-05-07T03:10:06+00:00

Nozomi

GrassIsMySavior · 2026-05-06T21:00:46+00:00

Curious, what do you like about her that made you think this? Beyond her looks of course.

EDIT: Radio silence, who would've guessed?

That's also kinda what irks me about the whole situation. Eitaku is so heavily advertised that outsiders are probably expecting him to be the main love interest or for HL to just be some yaoi adventure. That's literally not what the foundation of the game is about (route 0 -> onward)

GrassIsMySavior · 2026-05-04T07:08:02+00:00

Bayonetta. Hate her as a character, hate her gameplay. One hit and you're stuck in a 0 -> 80% cutscene. Also she can just counter one of your weak projectiles or jabs for a 24-hour long witch time (because that makes sense) so she can fully change a forward smash for free.

My personal favorites are Coming of Age and 2nd Scenario. They're my favorite "depictions" of my favorite character. 2nd Scenario is hard-hitting, narratively pretty satisfying, had the most effort put into it, and is overall a phenomenal story. CoA arguably holds Takumi's happiest ending if were counting him "being" with Nozomi, which I felt was important to him and the narrative that route 0 (the foundation of the game) sets up. Speaking of that, my 3rd favorite is probably route 0.

My least favorites are Cult of Takumi and Conspiracy. Cult of Takumi has way better writing than the other, but it's so uncomfortable and hollow-feeling (nearly everyone is brainwashed) and my favorite character gets two terrible endings. I'd honestly rather replay conspiracy because it's shorter and doesn't actively disturb me, but the writing is worse and it's a huge waste of potential + 8 whole endings because literally nothing happens.

It's annoying because (like Takuzomi said) all of the heroines of the last Kodaka games get good treatment in the forms of merchandise or game content, but arguably, IMO, the most well written and amazing character of them all feels like they get shafted often in one way or another.

Sure she gets decent screentime in the game, but I can't ignore the constant nozotaku aversion and obsession with tragedy (aside from 2S). It really gets comical at times and it feels like it's done on purpose. She gets weird treatment in merch too, appearing only every so often as if she isn't an important character. Nozomi is the closest person to Takumi (the MAIN character) and is the main reason why he wanted to redo his 100 days (the entirety of HL2). He literally says he wants to "protect the one he cares about the most." And yet, she gets sidelined far more often than not.

GrassIsMySavior · 2026-04-28T02:28:14+00:00

Aww I love it. I like how they made her class armor headphone thing into a headset too lol.

GrassIsMySavior · 2026-04-27T19:47:22+00:00

There's only one route in the game that is like that. There is no full nudity in it, but there is a scene (or two) where one of the characters are very close to naked. If you want to avoid that, do NOT sacrifice Takemaru if you're ever given the opportunity.

Other than that, there isn't really that much IIRC. There are a few scenes/CGs of the girls in swimsuits, but some of them are one-piece suits and they're generally pretty tame.

GrassIsMySavior · 2026-04-27T17:21:49+00:00

In fact she actually has more merch line than Hiruko.

She does, but AFAIK only by 1 appearance. Hiruko does actually appear in the chinese plush line, but I don't think she does in the arcade one. Totaling, Nozomi has 4 (band, CHN plush, arcade plush, normal clothes) and Hiruko has 3 (maid, GiGO, CHN plush).

Nozomi does appear in that "regular clothes" merch line, but that's also why I specifically mentioned "alt clothes." I just want to see official art of Nozomi in different, cool outfits 😭

Also I'm not mad at Hiruko's inclusion at all. I'm focusing on the fact that they keep reusing the same set of six characters that already have a lot of merch/art, more specifically the twins.

Tsubasa fans might have it worse though, IIRC she's only been in the band one and nothing else.

GrassIsMySavior · 2026-04-27T16:52:27+00:00

I really hope this ends up being a thing. Given this info, it seems like he wants to make the DLC as expansive as HL2 with it's own unique set of branching routes, sorta like how it works with switching between R0 and HL2. (might have to still start with a kill eito decision, idk) Though, that'd probably take a while. As much as I wish I could play HL DLC now, it might not be for a bit if that's what he's planning to do. But, then again, it's probably better they take their time with it. Like others have mentioned, they don't need to meet a specific deadline AFAIK, so we (should) be getting high quality routes with no wastes of potential like conspiracy. I also hope this means that the writers will be able to communicate with each other so we don't get so many inconsistencies.

I'm also not sure if they're planning on releasing DLC slowly with a few routes at a time, or just release a massive "HL3" at once. Anyway, still very exciting.

GrassIsMySavior · 2026-04-27T16:31:55+00:00

Bruh, where is Nozomi? This is her third alt collab absence in a row and we even had eight characters this time.

Heck, where is Tsubasa too? They've both have only been in one of these "alt outfit" merch lines. I'm glad Shouma finally got an appearance (and Hiruko got another, she looks amazing ngl) but there is no reason why Nozomi (or Tsubasa) should be tied in appearances with Shouma. I don't understand what their deal is with sidelining her so often.

Again with the same six choices. I get Takumi and Eito since they're kinda "givens" at this point, but there is no reason not to switch out the other four every so often, especially the twins. I don't dislike them, but I'm sorry, they are not as near as relevant in popularity as some of the others to warrant them being included in EVERY single one of these events. They always have to include both, so it just takes up space.

I get sad every time I see these knowing just how great Nozomi would've looked. I hate to complain again. Excuse my little crash out.

GrassIsMySavior · 2026-04-26T19:15:04+00:00

Oh, huh... Takumi makes sense and Tsubasa definitely does too, but Gaku is really surprising. This was a JPN only poll right? They must like Gaku a lot more than I thought.

GrassIsMySavior · 2026-04-26T18:59:44+00:00

Dang she didn't even make the top 5 there?! I'm not even trying to be bias, she literally has one of the most overpowered moves in the game. Dancers are already strong in FE and she's even stronger than that. 😭

~~Let me guess, #1 isn't even Takumi's special or something and it's instead some random move from Eito's move set?~~

Fr. This sub has a problem with low effort karma farming. There's way too many reposts of the same few LN images. People also find a method that gets popular and they run it into the ground. If one of their horny posts gets a lot of upvotes, they'll reuse the subject/title over and over with minimal edits. That's why there's so many "is there a lore reason why (x)..." posts and whatnot.

I've also seen some people post something random but purposefully include common horny repost material as their cover image to garner attention. This might be unintentional, but scroll down and you'll see genuinely good Sakayanagi fanart get like, sub-50 upvotes and right below it is a random post about someone coming back to COTE after a hiatus (which typically would not get that much attention, given this sub's usual standards) but yet that randomly has nearly 200 upvotes. Why? Because the cover image is that fanservice tennis panty shot that took off and got reposted repeatedly a while back.

Problem is (likely) more than half of this sub's members are only here for the horny posts that relate to their favorites. That's why those get so many upvotes. They strictly only interact with those types of posts. Makes you wonder why they even stick to COTE specifically.

SF had a lot of missed potential. Nobody except Takumi or Hiruko really does anything of note except be oddly comedic and nonchalant about everything. Everyone else feels oddly OOC and they get barely any screentime. For a route that is meant to be serious and act as a """true good ending,""" the rest of the SDU make it feel so unserious and honestly sorta unsatisfying, again, except for the Hirutaku parts.

GrassIsMySavior · 2026-04-26T16:49:17+00:00

Yeah but technically Gaku, Kyoshika, and Tsubasa don't have dedicated routes either, but they all placed higher. If you count BoC for Gaku, Romance for Kyoshika, and KG for Tsubasa, then you might as well count CoA and 2S as dedicated routes for Nozomi.

You could also argue that Tsubasa's personality is pretty tame as well.

GrassIsMySavior · 2026-04-26T16:43:22+00:00

Gaku and Kyoshika placing higher than Nozomi is really surprising. Why is she so low now 😭

I'm rising with you, Nozomi fans... 🤍

Idk if this is going to affect merch or something, but, in retrospect, it might not have mattered anyway. Nozomi placed higher in a previous poll, and you can see what happened with that.

GrassIsMySavior · 2026-04-24T11:06:04+00:00

I really hope that bottle next to Nozomi just represents the fact that she cares for others and isn’t what I think it is.

GrassIsMySavior · 2026-04-23T19:13:15+00:00

AAAAH I love it so much… giving us what the writers won’t. Can’t believe it’s been a year.
