I felt like writing here so I decided to re-write an entry from my old blog. :D It's about Fatal Frame (aka Project Zero) series which is actually my favorite video game series of all time! So this is pretty much just me babbling about the series and what it's all about.
Little summary about the games: They're survival horror games where your only weapon is an old Camera Obscura. Basically, you just have to take pictures of ghosts to kill them.
FATAL FRAME I
Story: Miku Hinasaki goes to find her brother, Mafuyu Hinasaki into the Himuro mansion. Mafuyu went to search for his tutor Junsei Takamine and his assistants but never came back.
Before the fifth game was released this was the last one I played. It was pretty hard go get and I had to ask my dad to order it from somewhere and it took a long time to arrive. I have played this myself only once a few years ago and didn't like it that much. But then my friend borrowed it from me and I joined him while he was playing it and it was actually really good. :D I don't really know why I didn't like it that much at first but it was really intense when we played it again. And it was so hard! Blood, sweat and tears were shed when we tried to finish it.
FATAL FRAME II - CRIMSON BUTTERFLY
Story: Mio Amakura losts her twin sister Mayu when they're wandering in the forest. She later founds her from and old village and suddenly they're trapped in the middle of an ancient ritual.
A lot of people who also like Fatal Frame series says that this one is their favorite. Well the story is great and everything but for me, babysitting Mayu took some points from me. :'D I think half of the time went for trying to keep her safe during the battles or waiting for her to follow you from place A to place B 'cause she was so goddamn slow. But I've played this one maybe five times so I do think it's good! Just not the best one.
FATAL FRAME III - THE TORMENTED
Story: Rei Kurosawa's fiancé Yuu Asou is killed in an car accident and she blames herself since she was the one driving. Rei begins to have nightmare where she is trying to find Yuu inside of an old Japanese manor, the Manor of Sleep. She later is affected by the curse which makes her trapped inside of the manor every time she sleeps. Rei, her assistant Miku Hinasaki (from Fatal Frame I) and Yuu's friend Kei Amakura (Mio and Mayu's uncle) start searching for a way to remove the curse.
Well this one is my absolute favorite and the first one I played from the series. I lost count on how many times I've finished it but it's something 10+. I think I know every little detail there is in this game. :'D This is also the first one of the games where you play also as a male character. And I really like Kei. SPOILER:
And I never let him die when I re-play this game. :'D I never forget to save him. And then there's the main boss of this game: Reika Kuze. She is my favorite character in the whole series
(and totally my waifu, you can come and haunt me every night)! Her story is just so sad and dark. T-T Just makes me want to hug her.
FATAL FRAME - MAIDEN OF BLACK WATER
I skipped the fourth game since it wasn't released outside Japan (damn you!).
Story: I'm not even sure about the main story since the game was so all over the place lol. There are three different protagonists: Yuuri Kozukata, Miu Hinasaki and Ren Hojo who all go to Mt. Hikami to search someone special for them.
To be honest, I'm kinda disappointed with this one. It was scary, yes, and the characters were okay but the story was really messy. I still feel like I don't quite understand why they went to the mountain and why they had to defeat the main boss. And then there's a character from Dear or Alive and she has her own story. Why?? I haven't even finished that part of the game 'cause I'm not that interested. Oh and thanks to this game, I don't even like Miku that much anymore. :'D You'll understand when you play the game.
