Kiniro no Corda 3 Full Voice Special

Kiniro no Corda 3 Full Voice Special is a Visual Novel game developed and published by Koei Tecmo Games for the Nintendo 3DS. It was released exclusively in Japan on February 26, 2015. Kiniro no Corda 3 – Full Voice Special is a remake of a PSP visual novel. The story begins on July 13, 2011, eight years after the White Day orchestra. The protagonist is an aspiring violinist who learns the limits of only playing at her country home. In order to improve herself, she decides to follow the footsteps of her childhood friend by moving to Yokohama and transferring to Seiso Academy for its high school summer semester.

After she proves her worth to the skeptical student body, she is selected to be a member of the school’s ensemble for the 42nd National High School Tournament. Kiniro no Corda 3 has a different visual style than its predecessors and includes a different city map. It reuses the second game’s system. Before the start of each stage performance, the player has the option of altering its difficulty to Easy, Normal, or Hard. Stage performances from rival schools can be skipped like previous titles, but the protagonist’s version has been revamped to require active participation from the player in a rhythm game-like sequence.

Music plays, and the player must press the corresponding buttons to match one of the three lower circular icons. If the player matches the button exactly, they receive a “Bravo” score. “Good” means the button is pressed a little early, and “Miss” indicates something that is neglected or a mistaken button press. A character often speaks positive comments when a consecutive chain of “Bravo” or “Good”s are earned.
