W-wait, what, how, w-when? Huh? T-that’s it? One second your daughter is all over you, the next moment she’s the Prime Minister, two frames later “The End”. Raise stat, lower stress, raise stat, lower stress. Sure you get an occasional new job, meet an occasional new guy and take part in the occasional festival, but apart from that it’s the same old grind. The game is fairly entertaining in the beginning because of all the new classes and jobs to do and people to meet, but within a year or two it falls into a stale, repetitive routine. Unfortunately my expectations had already been raised to high heaven.

If I hadn’t seen what the Princess Maker series was capable of achieving with PM2 (a game that’s 18 years old now), I might even have been content with what I got.

I did a first full playthrough to get the hang of things, then a second playthrough where I made a few extra saves in year 6 and used them to get two more endings, then I started afresh and got two final endings before putting the game to rest. It sounds complicated at first, but it’s pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

Other activities you can take part in include going on vacation, sending her out into town to meet people and having her take part in festivals to earn some money. If she gets too tired she falls sick and misses a whole month of the game, so you need to balance her health, her stats and her finances in order to raise her effectively. Jobs give you money and stats, but make her tired quickly. Classes raise some stats and lower others, but cost money. So every month you select a number of activities for her to participate in and she carries them out. Depending on how you go about it, you can get all kinds of marriage and job-related endings, ranging from positive (Queen, Princess, etc) to meh (barmaid, freeter) to not so positive (sleazy barmaid, etc). This time she’s the daughter of your ex-partner Isabel and you have to raise her from age 10 to 18. Well, obviously not okay since I’m still complaining.Īnyway, let’s back up a bit: if anyone hasn’t played a Princess Maker game before, the story usually goes that you’re an ex-hero of some sort who somehow finds yourself raising a little girl. But this is a 100% raising sim, not a hybrid RPG, so once I readjusted my frame of mind, I was okay.

It’s an insult to any gamer, working to raise your stats like crazy then only getting to fight once a year. For example I won the festival battle for two years, but that was the only use I ever got out of my battle stats and equipment. It makes some of the festivals a little meaningless. PM2 also had a dizzying array of stats to raise and classes to take, many of which have been combined or removed completely in Princess Maker 4. A lot of the elements I saw in the PM2 walkthrough are present in this game, but the parts I really got excited about – the battles, the special events, fairies, mermaids, adventuring, etc, have been almost entirely eliminated. It’s essentially a severely dumbed-down remake with all the humorous content, fighting and adventuring removed. Unfortunately Princess Maker 4 is a real disappointment compared to PM2. I tried to download the English PM2 and run it, but my computer wouldn’t play along, so it’s taken me this long for me to find a version and a format I can easily handle. It was and still is one of the funniest game-related things I have ever read in my life, and it made me really, really, really want to play the game. My first exposure came in the form of a Princess Maker 2 Let’s Play I read last year. It’s not my first exposure to the Princess Maker series though. This is my first time playing a Princess Maker game and I didn’t use a FAQ, so I haven’t done too badly for myself. That’s the Soldier, Magician, Marriage to a Minor Noble, Prime Minister and Ordinary Marriage endings, if I recall correctly. I’m done with Tokimeki Memorial 4, but I haven’t had enough of stat-raising sims yet, so I dived straight into this one, Princess Maker 4 for the Nintendo DS.Īt present, I’ve finished this five times with Endings No.
