Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 3 Izayoiki

Sign in to edit

Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 3 Izayoiki (遙かなる時空の中で3 十六夜記, Izayoiki roughly translated as "Full Moon Chronicle") is the expansion of the third Haruka title. Its literal namesake is the specific moonage —mathematical equation of the moon phases— for Yoshitsune and Benkei's duel at Gojo Bridge within the Japanese lunar calendar (moonage 16).

Ruby Party aimed to provide more Haruka 3 coverage by re-revisiting the original game with extras, including an illustration book and eight post cards, to appease fans.

Changes[]

This game offers a new main story route, which can be unlocked by recruiting Hinoe, using the dragon scale, and attacking Fukuhara. The main party can access their base of operations to experience side events and unlock special Izayoiki endings for the Eight Guardians. Players can ask Saku Kajiwara and Hakuryu for hints to obtain events for each character, but it's impossible to see both Romance and Izayoiki endings simultaneously.

Save data from the original game allows players the option to continue using their previously earned character skills, magic, and parameters.

If the player has performed Mixjoy, movies and illustrations earned within the game can be viewed in the Bonus menu. Ordinarily, a lone Izayoiki game disc only allows the players to experience Masaomi and Kurou's original romance routes. Mixjoy permits every possible ending to be experienced with Izayoiki. A complete Haruka 3 save and Mixjoy unlocks Tomomori's new romance ending. Character icons within the save data shows the player's completion for each character route. A circular boarder means it's the Izayoiki only ending; a violet boarder means their normal romance route has been completed.

Mixjoy unlocks new collaboration techniques for the main party. Key party members can unleash a powerful attack once they build high bonds with one another. After the protagonist views certain events, these characters can use the technique in battle by taking a cut of their Health gauge. Special dialogue is voiced for these team attacks.

Other changes include:

  • New illustrations are assigned to previous character events found in the original title.
  • Voices are added to a selection of previously unvoiced events.
  • Animated movies have been redrawn considerably.
  • Izayoiki portraits sometimes replace a character's original costume during older events.
  • Characters may give different presents for the protagonist's inventory.
  • Enemy AI has been slightly altered.

Complete save data for this game will unlock three special events in Unmei no Labyrinth.

Aizouban Changes[]

The PSP re-release (Aizouban) offers the following additions different from the first release.

  • Twenty Bonus events and illustrations which occur after character endings. The Eight Guardians have two events for their normal and Izayoiki endings.
  • Mobile Joy option has been added in the main menu.

Its Premium Box edition had an illustration book of the new images in the title and an original drama CD. The Neoromance 3 Titles Gamecity campaign added a school calendar and a chance to win various prizes. Complete save data from this version of the game can be used to unlock events in Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 3 Unmei no Labyrinth Aizouban.

Izayoiki was one of the titles featured at Koei's Tokyo Game Show 2005 booth. A voice actor talk show was hosted by Tomokazu Seki (Kurou Yoshitsune Minamoto) and Soichiro Hoshi (Atsumori Taira).

Gamecity published numerous books and CDs for the game, including a limited edition Yasuhira CD. Fan-made four panel comics and short stories were available online. Cospatio printed character cushion covers for the male cast, but they are currently out of stock. Bandai also sold a trading card set.

Yumeta Company (TYO Animations) produced a TV special called Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 3 Owarinaki Unmei, the continuation of Kurenai no Tsuki. This part is an original story roughly based on Masaomi's romance route with minor homages to other routes and cameos of the Izayoiki characters. The Limited Edition DVD includes multiple character endings or events which take place during the anime's narrative and a special movie. Its opening song is Kirameki no Tsuki and Yukyu no Gekko acts as the ending song. Voice actor interviews can still be seen at ITMedia.
