2.1 1ST IMPRESSION
Wind -a breath of heart- for Windows, by minori, came
out on 2002.04.19. minori also made Bittersweet Fools for
Windows, which I didn't play, because it wasn't voiced. The
producer of Wind, Sakai "nbkz" Nobukazu, is reportedly the
Accent seiyuu Okada "Okajun" Junko's husband. (OTOH, in
Bittersweet Fools for DC and PS2, Okajun voices the minor
heroine Solino.)
Wind is on two CDs. On disc 1 are two AVI files of the
OP movies of the game. Disc 2 doesn't seem to have any
omake stuph.
Disc 1 installs the game, and disc 2 runs the game. The
player can't choose the install size. The game squats on 421
MB. If the player further installs the voices from disc 2,
the game then squats on 765 MB. But when the player doesn't
install the voices from disc 2, and disc 2 is in the CD-ROM
drive, the game will still have voices.
The game has IMO a MTV or OVA style OP movie that has
images, but not necessarily screen shots, from the game.
*SPOILER ALERT*
The main menu has these options: New Game, Load Game,
Album, Memories, Music, and Opening Movie.
- New Game. Duh.
- Load Game. The game has 255 save game slots. Each
save game slot has a thumbnail screen shot, and the player
can add a comment about 40 English letters long. Each slot
has a real-time date and time, not the game-time date and
time.
- Album. 13 pages of event CG. 12 pages with 12 slots,
and a 13th page with seven slots.
- Memories. One page with six slots.
- Music. 17 tracks of BGM to replay.
- Opening Movie. Duh.
The game is practically full voice. The protagonist
isn't voiced, but some miscellaneous male chara, such as the
train driver, are voiced.
The player can toggle on and off the main chara's
voices. I understandably toggled off the protagonist's male
classmate Tachibana Tsutomu's voice.
Besides voices and BGM, the game has ambient sound
effects. For example, in the first scene, the protagonist
and his sis were in a train. The game continually plays the
sound effect of the train rumbling on the tracks.
The player can adjust the properties of the message
window, such as font, text speed, and transparency.
Some background illusts are mildly painted background
photos, such as the inside of a tram (street car) and a
school corridor.
In a scene, up to three chara's portraits can be
simultaneously on-screen.
2.2 2ND IMPRESSION
Later (2002.12.03): In the Album, similar CG are saved
in different slots.
In other gal games, when several CG show a heroine in
the same pose, but her face has different expressions, these
similar CG are frequently saved/stacked in the same slot.
When the player clicks that slot, the game cycles through
the several CG.
*SPOILER ALERT*
Later (2002.12.04): IMO, the programmers are miserly
WRT event CG. For example, on April 10, when Nozomi
practised with some Kendou club members, the game has no
event CG. No Samurai Girl -Real Bout High School- style
panchira event CG. (-_-#) I hope the programmers compensate
this lack of quantity with lots of quality.
The protagonist frequently abuses/chops his sis. (-_-;)
I don't recognise the buildings in the background
illusts.
FYI, in Ecchi games, I dislike anal, android/cyborg,
bandage, bestiality, bondage, boys love/gay/homo/yaoi/801,
Burikko, byoujaku, choukyou, gakuenmono, kanchou/scatolo,
kemono, kichiku, kyonyuu, Lolicom/puny, Mah Jong, maid, nun,
nurse, okama (maybe except the Hokuto no Ken type), orgy,
Shouta, slime, tentacles, and zombies.
(I know. Picky, picky.)

4. SOLUTION
In 1st Play, I'll primarily aim for Fujimiya Nozomi's
ending, and not get distracted by the other heroines.
*SPOILER ALERT*
Before the player reaches the first multiple choice
node, the protagonist Okano Makoto meets these heroines:
- Okano Hinata, in a train, at home, in a tram, et al.
After all, she's the protagonist's sister. Short red hair
with white headband.
- Shikouin Kasumi, at school. She's the protagonist's
classmate. Meganekko with long straight black hair.
- Fujimiya Nozomi, at her famires, One Day. Famires
waitress and Kendou expert. Long blond hair in ponytail.
- Fujimiya Wakaba, at One Day. She's Nozomi's sister
and a piano player. Meganekko with short green hair.
- Tsukishiro Hikari, between One Day and the school.
Short grey hair.
- Narukaze Minamo, on the roof of the school. Harmonica
player and osanajimi. Long dark blue hair in twin tails.
BTW, the player can't change the protagonist's name.
After the protagonist meets Minamo, the game plays the
OP movie.
4.1 THE ADVENTURE BEGINS
APRIL 10
First node:
1-11. ahouna koto ha yamete, Hinata wo okosu. (Wake
Hinata.)
1-12. koko ha yappari, 10 kai [juukai] tsutsun shite
miru. (Harass Hinata.)
1-11 leads to 1-31 to 1-33.
1-12 leads to 1-21 to 1-22.
Neither choice leads to any CG. In 1st Play, as I was
aiming for Nozomi's ending, neither choice matters, and I
chose 1-12.
Second node, from 1-12:
1-21. iikagen ni ahouna koto ha yamete, Hinata wo
okosu. (Wake Hinata.)
1-22. koko ha yappari, 16 rensha [juuroku rensha] ni
chousen. (Harass Hinata.)
Both choices lead to 1-31 to 1-33.
Neither choice leads to any CG. In 1st Play, as I was
aiming for Nozomi's ending, neither choice matters, and I
chose 1-22.
Afterwards, the protagonist and his sis went to
Minamo's home. The player learns more about the
protagonist's parents, and that he's a milk mania.
BTW, Kasumi's correct. Instead of going back to the
school and meeting two of the heroines, the protagonist
could've borrowed and photocopied her English textbook.
Second node, from 1-11:
1-31. Gyouza.
1-32. Yakuza.
1-33. Piza.
All choices are incorrect and lead to the same result.
For simplicity, I chose 1-31.
APRIL 11
No event CG or multiple choice node. (-_-;)
The protagonist learns Wakaba is a healer.
APRIL 12
One Minamo non-Ecchi CG. No node.
APRIL 13
The protagonist's birthday. (_ _) Zzz
