Heart Mates

Edit 27/01/2012: I just realised, after one whole year, that it should be Heart Mate, not Heart Partner orz.

Edit 2/10/2012: As GungHo forbids the use of images taken from the official website, the images posted here have been removed =w=. Time to look for new ones...

The Heart Mates are perhaps GungHo's way of addressing the burning need to bring Emil and his friends home and snug the player's desired NPC(s) into his/her bed, hohoho. Essentially the aforementioned gang made available as pets, they come in alternate appearances, dressed in the costumes that come with the lottery they appear in (kinda like cosplay if you ask me =3). According to the official descriptions, they are the power of their characters' heart/soul materialised.

Like the Guardian Spirits, they come one character per month, though in alternate lotteries (if the GS comes out in the first half of the month, the Heart Mate will appear in the second half. So it's GS -> HP -> GS -> HP...).

FYI, just as the lotteries with the GS also come with the Nekomata alternate costumes, those with the Heart Mates usually come with a pet as well, except for those carrying Tita and LILI (they have AS houses instead). In addition, from Tita, Belial, R'lyeh, LUX and LILI's HPs, their lottery page also provides a brief introduction of the respective characters.

With the introduction out of the way, let's take a look at these Heart Mates =3.
