Hakuoki: Stories of Shinsengumi - Saitou Hajime Walkthrough Guide -

hakuoki ps3 walkthrough guide saitou hajime

Hajime Saito is a member of Shinsengumi with a serious yet quiet personality. Who would have known that this man is a sword geek? He loves seeing new swords so much though he can't afford buying one (or just won't allow himself to buy one). He's loyal to the Shinsengumi, especially to Hijikata.

Let's get to know more about Hajime Saito:

Rank: 3rd Division Captain
Height: 5'5"
Voice Actor: Toriumi Kohsuke

Here are the choices I made that leads me to get his Happy Ending. Please do take note that I am blindly playing this game and this post will be updated from time to time as I will also try to get the other endings. This walktrough is a guide for the PS3 version of the game.

Game Completion: Saito Route

Some of the CGs in the game can only be obtained in some parts of the game. Meaning, if you aim for the Happy Ending, you can't get some of the CGs unless you explored and finished each part of the game. We highlighted some parts above in blue, to let you guys know that you need to make a save before you choose from the next selection.

Of course it is not a requirement, unless you intended to finish the game and complete all the CGs for the trophy.
