SOA Asuna Pillow Time
So in SOA Hollow Realization it is possible to sweet talk one of the other characters into the bedroom. This involves working up your relationship with a character until it reaches the intimate level which is level 5. It's not too hard of an accomplishment if you group with the character, talk to the character, and use them for the Nice Job feature. The nice job feature is something you utilize to compliment a player during or after battle to regain some SP quickly. You regain 50, and I have around 300 so that is a nice way to get back basically what I spend on a single sword skill. If utilized correctly it looks like for any of the main characters it shouldn't take long to get someone to an intimate relationship.
Once a character is intimate with you have to have them follow you to the hotel room. Once you have them in the hotel room you can hold their hands, after which you can bridal carry them. Once you begin carrying them you bring them to the bed and the game gives you an option to drop them on the bed for pillow talk.
While they are on the bed the conversation is very cutesy and whatnot. You advance the conversation through head nods and leaning in and appropriate use of the square button.
The talk will increase to the point where the heart above their chest continuously throbs. You simply continue and you move to a still picture of the character with more conversation.
Asuna talks about the past of her and Kirito with you, how they share Yui as if she is their actual child, and how she loves Kirito. Overall very sweet. As the conversation starts to dwindle out the screen fades to black and you are back at the foot of the bed.
Asuna does some type of cheering emote and then you get a message from her.
I will have to say it was handled tastefully. I've never really been a fan of triggering a sex event in game unless I had custom made some ridiculous beastly thing to made with some poor soul of an npc. And a lot of times they concentrate on the physical actions too much, I don't need to watch polygons make out. It's just not a thing that works for me. So the triggering in SOA is chat and nodding with the occasional leaning in. No real physical interaction that you can register as a player. I actually enjoyed that, because we can let innocence thrive a little here for those that still have it. If you want it filthier use your mind. I really enjoyed how the developers opted to not have polygonal figures slamming faces together, especially since that is a sought after thing based on games that have relationships (Mass Effect, I'm sorry if you google it but you'll get it if you do).
Well there you go folks. I pushed a relationship arc for you, and I accomplished the triggering event with everyone's favorite babe Asuna. I'm not a huge fan of relationship things in games, but this one did not feel as though I really had to alter my gameplay to make it happen, so I enjoyed that. I hope you enjoyed the post.
