Moka Choco's and blond haired heroine's VA whose name I can't remember voices make my penis engine go so it's good enough to skim through.
I might be biased towards the latter though for voicing my favorite big fat cat tat idol.

Just dropping in to mention that Hikari is possibly the most beautiful name known to men.

>>14466344
I'm interested but waiting for the second half before trying it

What broke me on HatsuMira was the okama character. It may be superficial of me, but putting a character like that into the game, to me, was like Frontwing giving up on actually writing a worthwhile story. It's just not funny, and completely undermines whatever atmosphere you had built up. Not to be disrespectful towards trans people, or whatever, but it seriously is just unbelievable that they'd put a muscular dude, give him make up, and have him refer to himself as a girl, and then have him interact with the MAIN VILLAIN as an equal confidant. What the absolute fuck? Imagine if Kircheis from LOGH had been a twink who's whole character was the butt of a gay joke, with all of his dialogue centering around him being a twink. Absolutely ridiculous. Frontwing just didn't take the game seriously, I guess, despite obviously trying to jam the game with emotional weight/depth. There's ways to write a good story with heavy comedic elements, but I really don't think an okama character was the right way, at all, for this game.

>>14466954
Copypasta out of nowhere.
Finished hatsumira's yukikaze route, it was so-so. Not as full of bullshit as Grisaia was, but still a lot of it. Game would have been much better with a stronger emphasis on geopolitics and military operation, but it would have required someone that can actually write. Also it really sucks when characters are put on a bus never to reappear for no reason, which happen a lot.

>>14467001
>but it would have required someone that can actually write
I fully agree with this sentiment.
I was worried while playing the game that I was just being obnoxious or too critical of the writing, so it's reassuring to see it be panned almost universally.

>>14467015
The quality of the writing itself is good, it's definitely readable, but they went for a pretty light almost LN like style that end up making for a pretty shallow experience.
It basically feels like it's for kids

>>14467028
I meant writing in a more broad abstract way, not in a technical, line-to-line proficiency kind of way.

>>14467035
I understand what you meant and agree, I just wanted to make things clearer

>>14467028
Honestly most eroge feel like they're written for kids

>>14467061
It's more like most eroge writer are the immature type with no life experience.
Kind of like what is happening with LN and the whole narou nonsense full of 俺TUEEEEE shit because 2010's kids are pampered and don't know what effort mean

Though in Hatsumira's case it's more like that the game is supposed to be a hommage to Zero no Tsukaima and they probably dumbed it down for Steam

>>14466657
Really? Several people thought it was worse than the first one, some others thought it was better. I liked it myself.

>>14467069
Well, I haven't heard any of the people saying they thought it was better, is all. Which isn't a good sign for me, who did not much like the first one.

>>14466954
I didnt read HatsuMira yet, but most of people are saying almost same thing with you; seems like the game couldnt decide that if its going to be serious or funny.

>>14467119
Where are you reading these things? I don't go to 2ch (too lazy to figure out which browser to use, don't like being unable to post w/o a vpn), maybe I should start.

>>14467069
I think its definitely worse than first one. Common route is worse than original game for sure, hell there wasnt even any gekka vs tendou subjects. Half of the common route was Michi and other half was tease towards the Alicetia, which is dumbest thing in 2015 imo. Also Kazuma was a better mc than Daichi, and last but not least half of the heroines ( Tateha & Mashiro) is just a bad replica of original heroines.

Yeah its still kinda enjoyable, Alicetia was seriously cute and Usagi's route was pretty good, but minus points are bigger than plus points for me.

>>14467147
I dont go to 2ch as well, I'm just lurking between EGS, eroge blogs, twitters etc.

>>14467161
What are some good eroge blogs? Particularly those talking about HatusMira. I'm a bit familiar with goldensneer and omochikaeri but not much else.

>>14466954
Okama characters don't have anything to do with the story. Subahaibi had an Okama character. but I do really hate this type of characters, and prefer the game without it of course.

>>14467189
I know it's superficial and not evident of the whole story; it was just the straw that broke the camels back. I knew he was going to be "the main villain" of the second chapter, or even longer, and I really just had no interest in spending any more time reading his lines or lines about him.

>>14467173
Dude you are reading english blogs, try reading japanese review ones. You can find pretty easilty with google, I dont think there is any english blog which talks about Hatsumira to be honest.

>>14467209
I'm not familiar with the Japanese internet, is all, so I don't spend time there. I guess I need to break my virginity eventually.

>>14467222
You can start by checking EGS's reviews, which is easiest to find.

>>14467232
I've been doing that for awhile. I just googled 果つることなき未来　感想 and am rolling with what I find.

>>14467207
About Hatsumira, I did read some parts of the trial version, while it was fun at first, I got bored really quickly and skipped through it. I really liked the final part where the MC talks about his past and his best friend with his little sister and how he went into a sucidical attack, this part especially was pretty good and has emotional impact in it. Does the full game have more flashbacks like this? I may play the full thing because of it.

>>14467242
>while it was fun at first, I got bored really quickly and skipped through it.
This is EXACTLY how I felt.
The beginning was a pretty fun ride but it just lasts so long.
As for flashbacks, in the first chapter, there are a couple 40-line flashbacks briefly describing why he became pilot, but nothing substantial at all. It's definitely not a big part of the main game.

>>14467286
>It's definitely not a big part of the main game.
Well, that's too bad. But Iam kinda sure it will play a big role at least at the final parts of the game. Anyway Hatsumira gave me the above average moege feel about it, if you read it as a side game between the next big releases, Iam sure you will enjoy it more.

so can someone tell me why everyone is hyped for last cavalier? the art looks pretty meh to me so is it the story or writing?

>>14468310
The writer's pretty good, but the concept and subject matter are kind of dumb.

>>14468308
Go ahead

>>14468316
The MC lives a normal life until one day he's attacked by a succubus. His childhood friend saves him and he discovers that she's a half-succubus. I think she was weakened because she refuses to hunt humans because of her morals as a human. She and MC have sex so she can regain her powers to fight the other succubus.
This is all I vaguely remember. I searched for the tag succubus on vndb for hours with no luck

You have to keep in mind that he reads with machine TL for vocabulary.

>>14468618
I don't know, he sure writes confidently enough that I would assume he knows Japanese pretty well, either that or he's incredibly delusional and a liar.

>>14468652
I believe he has said that he studied Japanese grammar for few months and then started reading with machine TL. The famous "Fuwa method".

Btw that faggot Veronin (tripfag Komeiji from /a/) did it too and is just as insufferable in his posts on VNDB etc.

I'm using chiitrans for kanji readings, is that bad

>>14469984

>>14469984
You should probably study them at least a bit. It's not actually as difficult as it first appears to memorize a good number of them.

>>14469984
But chiitrans doesn't have kanji readings.

What is one of the shortest moege that is still enjoyable? I am trying to get into moege but i end up dropping them because they are too lengthy.

>>14470015
I meant kanji translation and furigana by that.
>>14469999
I can read a good number of simple commonly used kanji already. I just can't read more difficult ones and don't want to study them. I might remember some along the way though.

>>14470041

>>14470934
I think people unfairly hate that one because it uses a full on moe style. I think its fine, but Mio's head looks weird in both versions. I think they tried copying the head shape a little too much and should have just changed them. Also they don't have shadows because they don't have any sort of lighting. Even their hair isn't shiny.

I heard a lot of praise for Fujisaki Ryuuta so I don't understand how he fucked this up so bad (he did common + yukikaze route for hatsumira).

>>14471658
Please tell me that the rest of the route isn't about how bad this event was and such, a death toll is all that's needed not 8 hours of using a in game event to indirectly complain about WW2

I haven't been to these threads in a while, how's that Hatsumira garbage? As shit as expected?

>>14471669
>indirectly complain about WW2
So is one (ore more) of the writers being a ネトウヨ true? I thought it was a joke or Japanese being oversensitive. I don't feel like reading Hatsumira just to check this.

>>14471691
Not terrible, but disappointing I guess.

>>14471658
>>Fujisaki Ryuuta
I dont know if he has written any light novels or something so he might be good at those, but at visual novel industry he didnt write anything worth of praise for 7-8 years. All he did was a couple parts of Grisaia, and even those wasn't that great, just decent.

He had a big chance for proving himself at Hatsumira, and I think he already failed at that. ドラクリウス was a popular chuunige in old days though, maybe he is good at those type of games. I never bothered with it since I'm not good with all that gore / madness type games.

>>14471704
Let's put it this way, I could see the dialogue I'm reading right now be directly applied to the bombing in Japan. They even go out of their way to mention the land itself is scarred and won't be able to be used for decades, even the survivors are slowly dying because the residue.

>>14471691
It had the potential to be alright but they simply choose the wrong person/people to write this kind of story.

>>14471736
This takes the cake
一郎: こんなのはもう戦争じゃない, 一方的な虐殺だ

>>14471735
I read this:
>Fujisaki Ryuuta (Draculius, main for Grisaia, other random shit) - Fujisaki is fucking out of his goddamn mind moreso than any other writer, even Watanabe, and is fucking hilarious in the process. I'd be tempted to put his stuff from Grisaia in A rank but Grisaia itself is a pretty meh story propped up almost entirely by the prose/humor/characters so I can't really give him that high in good faith, I guess you could say his writing lacks depth in that sense. But if you're looking for a hilarious writer who knows how to make his text interesting then Fujisaki should be near the top of your list.
And so thought he was pretty good. But then, I read Hatsumira and was disappointed.

>>14471691
It's by Frontwing, what do you think? I don't even know why there was expectation around it at all.

>>14471750
I dont know who wrote this (maybe Clephas?) but nah, he is definitely exaggerating.

Fujisaki is basically going baby mode in Hatsumira, it's not really similar to his style in Draculius or Grisaia

You should try Draculius

This. There's a lot of complaints to be had of the game, but they're all easily fixable. If they did, it could have become an extremely great VN.

The only victims in a war are civilians.
Both America, Japan and Nazi Germany were huge monsters who wanted to control the world and were willing to do anything.

I'm from Belgium, most of the positive stories I've heard from my grandparents' generation were about British soldiers everyone else were faggots. We just wanted to be left alone.

>>14472029
Luckily, nothing America did comes even close to being as evil as Nanking/the fucking Holocaust so they get a leg up on the scale of morality.

Every country has interests when they go to war. Those interest are never humanistic even if the official propaganda tells something different. UK is probably the worst offender since they literally hid for 5 years before they came rushing in and kicking an enemy which was already beaten, only to claim victory in the most pompous way possible until today.

The only real victim (and victor) of WW2 was the Soviet Union.

>>14472063
I'm pretty sure that most of the shit that happened during WW2 (or any war ever, really) because of the aggressors.

We wanted to stay neutral because of the shitstorm that was WW1, the NSDAP agreed, then they went back on it and invaded. We eventually drafted a larger percentage of our men than most other countries and still got wrecked in 18 days because we still have a small overall population and our military equipment was garbage.

The civilian population fought back plenty as well. Several relatives of mine (including my great-grandfather) were part of the Witte Brigade (as you can probably tell, that's "white brigade"), providing intel for British soldiers.

We just didn't want any bullshit, man.

She has the same VA and Kansai-ben accent.
They have a different surname but it says at the end "ちなみに淫蕩つばめは仕事用の名前である".
They heavily imply it's her.

But don't worry, it's just a joke.

My sentiments exactly

>>14472882
Just skip to the end of whatever chapter your on and read the revelations of the events in the area

>>14473058
At that point why play the game in the first place. I don't skip chapters in books I'm bored with, I just don't read them

Honestly the more time passes, the less I find myself trusting EGS or moege awards.

>>14471829
>Above average art
Depends on what you average. It's not hard to have better art than the average if you consider all eroge that come out. I found it pretty average myself.
>Huge budget
The staff is far more important, which brings us to
>Grisaia was pretty good
It was definitely great, until the common route ended. When it attempted a more serious tone it lost most of its quality.
>Soldier protagonist in a fantasy setting
This one does apply, although it has done before with varying degrees of success and failure, much like other settings it depends entirely on execution.

I feel like everyone who hyped this was just entirely based on Grisaia's perceived greatness, even though the settings are completely different.

>>14473281
What would you consider above average then? Excluding G Yuusuke (not because he's not valid but because he's the token "good artist")

Speaking of Monobeno, I went there last weekend.

Pretty nice. I wasn't able to go everywhere though, there are very few bus lines running during the day and I only had few hours to see as much as I could. If you want to see the Monobeno Shrine, it's like 7 kilometres on foot from the nearest bus station.

To show you something, here's the Tosa-Yamada station, from the first scene in the VN.

>>14473869
Has anyone here even played any of the previous ones?

I can understand them changing the art for Yu-No because I'd honestly be shocked if any original assets still exist at this point in time, and the art style would repulse the target audience for being "too old" but they could have at least gone with something more fitting.

According to early reviews there's much less story and banter in 3 compared to 1 and 2 so it's more of a standard nukige now. Welp.

Anyone played the clochette's new game yet? I really like the art (yay no balloons!) i need some input from the awesome community that is jaypee

>>14471829
80 is the median score. It got 75 on average which is petty meh. Personally i would rather look at the average score since it is more accurate. For example Sakura no Uta has a median score of 92, but the average score is 89.

>>14474678
The change in art is the very reason why I didn't try it.

>>14474649
That's a little disappointing to hear but I doubt it will end up being bad enough to just be a standard nukige. Even the worse entry in the overall series is better than a standard nukige

>>14474696
Different strokes for different folks i guess =D

>>14474686
I never understood this. What's the difference between median and average score?

>>14474678
No balloons, no interest.

>>14474482
>>14474488
That was fast, thanks!
I have been looking forward for this since I played the trial in august.

>>14474678
New art is shit and the story doesn't sound really appealing. I'll pass.

>>14474711
Median is the middle number of the data. Average is the sum of the total divided by the amount of numbers in the data. The median is very flawed because there might be a huge jump in the middle of the data. EXAMPLE : 61,62,63,90,91,92,93 is the data. The Median is 90 but the average is 79.

>>14474711
The average (mean) is the sum of all values divided by the number of values
The median is the middle one out of all values (or the sum of the two middle ones divided by two in the case of an even number of values)

Median is better for ignoring extreme values but can give a very skewed view when the sample size is small.

>>14474747
>The median is very flawed
It's not that it's flawed, it's just not meant to be used on its own. The median is important because comparing it to the average tells you how much the average is skewed by extremes. Like, in your example, the median being so much larger than the average indicates that there's an extreme drop off in the data, wherein the majority of scores lie on the higher side.

>>14474764

Been playing it on and off pretty slowly. The change in art is probably a downgrade, but I wasn't that into the previous art.

I've found the writing and characters to be a lot of fun, the setting is nice, and they don't try and go too deep into time travel bullshit. The feeling of cultural differences is pretty good, and the humor was decent, but there's not a whole lot. Seeing the heroines and the MC open up to each other and start from strangers and become friends and then into lovers is always a plus in my book, and it's done that well.

Sure the art isn't amazing, but I think the writing is much improved over the previous ones (I had zero interest what so ever in the story or characters of Sakigake, outside of Ouka because she was cute.)

Does anyone have a working link to 信天翁航海録?

Jaypee, help me choose.
Konboku, subahibi, oretsuba or tsuyokiss?

>>14480822
Oretsuba is the best VN ever made by a long shot, so if you still haven't read it then do that.

>>14480822
As far as I can tell, you listed three kamige and one kusoge. What's with the disparity?

subahibi

>>14480833
Yeah I agree. Subahibi shouldn't be in there.

>>14480822
Even with the characters that pissed me off whenever they showed up, I'd definitely go with oretsuba.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know of a good free OCR program for Japanese text? I'm attempting some shitty VN translations and I'd like to have the original text stored alongside the translation, but I'd also like something a little quicker than manually type it out every time.

Really? It's fun so far but I'm not seeing what would make it that good.

>>14481105
For more content just so you don't think i'm just being a dick: from the sounds of it you haven't even entered a route yet much less finish all three and the final one. When people say oretsuba is great, they're not talking about the common route which is all good and fun but the stuff that happens after that point where things start coming together. All the major memorable growth and character moments are in the routes.

>>14480822

>>14475364

Just another boring 'redeemed' villain. There's nothing sympathetic/interesting about her character, basically "hey I my life got messed up so now I'll start messing up other people because inferiority complex". Masada's over-melodramatic walls of text (which got worse by KKK btw - where her character gets even more annoying) don't make shit taste like candy.

Average voice actress doesn't help add any charm. If senpai's route didn't have more pedo priest/the other Anna it'd probably worth quitting the game by the end of Marie's.

>>14479328

I think Steins;Gate is complete by itself and 0 feels like 蛇足 which is why I didn't buy it.

I don't think Chaos;Child is the best thing ever but it had ambition and tried some neat things, does 0 at least try something?

I agree that SG is complete on its own. 0 is not a compilation of official doujin side stories like phenogram, it's just a part of the story that we didn't get to see this okarin who didn't save kurisu eventually became the one who sent the video to the past to encourage okarin to save kurisu . I would say only buy it if you're a huge SG fan and want to know more, otherwise save it.

It feels really nostalgic, But I guess I'll just play Misaki's route and go back to my backlog.

I'm not playing shitty games.

I didn't say you should.

Should someone new to Romeo read Cross Channel or Saihate first?

>>14483903
Don't read either; they're both shit.

>>14483903
Cross Channel
Saihate is something you should read after you have done a bunch of its stuff, it's pretty special

>>14483903
They're completely unrelated and very different story wise, though Saihate is a lot harder when it comes to grasping the plot. Pick whichever interests you more.

In the beginning of Hatsumira, soldiers come looking for Yukikaze in a bar, and when they find her, the MC kicks up a fuss, and subsequently beats the shit out of the soldiers.
In the beginning of this other VN I'm reading, soldiers investigate a bar, and when someone kicks up a fuss, the *soldiers* beat the shit out of him, resulting in everyone meekly obeying them.
The disparity is pretty interesting. I'm starting to think HatsuMira was kind of written for teenagers, retrospectively.

>>14484211
Difference is that Hatsumira's protagonist is a solider and he's fighting what amounts to militiamen, that and he gets the jump on the first guy

>>14484226
He's pilot, not some specops supersoldier.

>>14484226
I didn't mention the name of the second VN ( 蒼天のセレナリア) so you didn't know the full context, but either way, I know HatsuMira has justification for why the MC is a ultimate warrior of ultimate justice and can beat up the soliders, it's just that the resulting tone from it is really immature, and it sticks with the game for the rest of the game more or less, I think.

>>14484233
It's not that hard to beat the shit out of a couple of people who are weaker than you, even more so when they are shown to be a incompetent bunch. Harsumira's protagonist certainly has issues but use a proper example of it rather than a justified situation

>>14484248
I agree, I'm just saying that you choose a rather bad example to portray it. There's much worse situations of the mc being "ultimate warrior of ultimate justice" that you can use to prove it

>>14484248
I agree with you that Hatsumira was aimed at younger folks or rather they clearly had Steam in mind when they wrote it

But you have to see the intent of the writers too.
In Hatsumira that scene was just to show both the situation Yukikaze was in and Ichirou peculiar personality
In Celenaria that scene was to show how fucked up the empire is and justify why Cony want to see what is beyond that country

>>14484274
I'm not trying to prove anything, I just noticed this particular disparity in this particular scene. I think this is a fine example, by the way, the first time you're introduced to the antagonists/evil country, they're clowns and the MC easily beats the shit out of them. First impressions are important.
>>14484292
I'm mainly approaching the duality from a perspective of tone, not from writers intent or anything like that. The difference tone these scenes give is undeniable and to me interesting in understanding why HatsuMira ended up reading like it does.

>>14484299
Oh, I misread your intentions. My mistake

>>14484322
I can see why, I worded it pretty poorly, looking back it's clear I implied that Ichirou should have been beaten up or what have you

And just finished it, I thought I had some questions because of bad translation or something, but even after reading japanese I still cant understand how the Eternal World related with Nagamori.

So Mc wanted some unchanging existence because of his loss, and made a pact with Nagamori which was to leave this world and exist only in the Eternal World. I got this much, but I cant understand why is it Nagamori or how kissing her ended up as a pact.

Most likely everyone here already forgot this game, But still I wanted to ask at least.

Seems like it's rather short.

>>14484550
Yeah since I only read Misaki & Nagamori routes (the latter one was just because of the question) and skipped at the boring parts, since its my second time.

>>14484480
Actually after thinking a while I think it may be The toy he gave to his sister, not the real Nagamori, since at one time where he talks with her at his mind he says "I dont need you, a toy since I'm already adult"

Well it maybe a little forced but seriously I still cant find any answer.

Guys 恋色空模様 or flyable heart ? I want to finish 1 series before Christmas

koisora is long and the actual routes are pretty bad

Given he can barely read Japanese I'm not sure why his opinion counts.

>>14484875
Really?

>Steiner

Who?

>>14484875
He used to go by the name of Ludo in the Rance scene.

Known for inaccurate translations (which were never his fault), lying to everyone and getting Rance VI 85% and then sitting on it for years and 'losing everything' and ending up with less than 10% allegedly translated after 3 years working on it

He deleted most of the youtube videos of translations he had up but they were full of basic mistakes

He also had a habit of calling every alicesoft release great and their best game since whenever

Don't believe the whales lies

Don't forget that he openly admitted he's schizophrenic and keeps forgetting what he was doing or saying other day.

Does Ai have a route in Oretsuba R?

>>14485856
Yes
Though you should do the Vita/PS3 version since it has yet another route added as well
