Source-derived summary

Princess Maker 2 (プリンセスメーカー2) is a 1993 Japanese video game developed by the company Gainax. It is the second installment in the Princess Maker series of social simulation games. The player must act as a parental figure and raise a young girl to the age of 18, taking care of her life with the player's actions throughout the game.

After the initial release for the Japanese PC-9801 personal computer, it has been subsequently released for many other personal computers and video game consoles. The game has been translated into English, Korean, and Chinese.

Plot

In a fantasy world roughly modeled after medieval Europe, the Demon King's armies suddenly invaded a kingdom, collapsing its walls and burning the city. A nameless warrior challenged the Demon King to a one-on-one duel and, after a fierce battle, defeated him, though he himself was gravely wounded. Grateful, the king and citizens begged him to abandon his travels and remain in the capital, and he finally agreed to settle down.

One night, a shooting star streaks through sky directly before the swordsman. Within the falling light is a small girl wrapped in a glowing sphere.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1993—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1993-01-01, 2004-09-30—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Princess, Maker and video providing the first useful test.
