Is Lose going too far with Reina. Listen to her QA, she mispronounces words like a kid, uses kid words like お手手 and has to take naps like a kid.

>>14915816
no

>>14915816
They're not going too far enough.

>>14915841
How can they go further? Reina being human and not a super advanced robot in a world with vague level of technology?

I repeat: kimoi.

All other ads are gone though. I dunno why they were removed pre-release.

>>14915816
Sounds great

>>14915901
Ads? You mean on buildings? The ones an Akiba Sofmap 1 and Trader 2 are still there. And there are Maitetsu stands in various shops too.

For the biggest one on Sofmap AM, Lose probably only had money for that long. Previously it was Shokomeza ad, why was that removed prerelease?

>>14915904
I thought I saw some ads on the stairwell leading to 秋葉原ザウルス but those were gone too.

Just seems like weird times for ad placements then removals, for large ones at least. Maybe they are more interested in advertising pre-orders rather than releases.

>>14915909
>Maybe they are more interested in advertising pre-orders rather than releases.

Likely, considering it's known eroge makes most sales with preorders after all.

>>14915742
I look forward to that in the OP

>>14915960
The video at the end of the trial that showed for example Rinne and Setsuna on some snow covered-place with some broken machine around them picqued my interest more.

>Did you make a dlsite account? I was having the same error, then I made an account and it went through no problem..
Holy shit, it actually worked. I have no idea why the site offers purchasing without registering, but then just gives a generic "card not accepted" error if trying to do just that. Now even my Visa Electron went through. Big cheers anon.

>>14915742
Looks like 3D-model. If the game have 3D that's cool or if just 2D-renders from the 3D original that's garbage.

>>14916073
>Looks like 3D-model.

I'm not seeing it.

>>14915981
>I like the writing and the pacing
Agreed. Not one boring moment so far, which is extremely rare for me. I already know that I will buy this.

>>14916029
Glad to hear it worked. It looks like dlsite only has limits on the cards that can be used if you're using a non-Japanese card and are unregistered, but these are removed once you have an account.

Why is there so much discussion about a game that doesn't even have a trial. And there have been plenty of games with loli that had girls this young.

>>14916210
Trial will come soon though.

>>14916210
>Why is there so much discussion about a game that doesn't even have a trial.
Because people are hyped for it.

>>14916228
At least make posts that make sense.

Does almost everybody here play plotgee

I.mean I kinda just got into vn for cute girls though I have played some plotges, also silveria vandetta brought out my inner chuuni, ive been thinking of trying muramase but heard its hard. Is it harder than silveria vandetta?
Ive tried hanachirasu and some parts takes some time to read but not too difficult, mainly the history and war stuff

>>14916247
I dream of a world where Japanese VNs can be discussed on English forums without every other post being about language difficulty and learning Japanese

I don't care about learning jap, I can understand most stuff.
I just wanna know if I can read it without looking up definitions often. Or if its written in an odd way or has old words and stuff.

Like if I asked if to kill a mocking bird is hard to read im not trying to start an english discussion

>>14916318
Sounds like you're still a learner then.

>>14916321
I stopped anki and stuff ages ago I just read what I find interesting now.
However have trouble reading some stuff now and again.
But that aside im just asking if its hard to read.

Completely missed the fact that there's ISLAND trial released. I thought OP was promo material.

>>14916344
>>14916318
>I just wanna know if I can read it without looking up definitions often.
tl;dr your Japanese isn't good (enough) so instead of posting about VNs you talk about your Japanese level and the Japanese level of VNs instead of actually talking about VNs. Much like a fuckton of other people. Therefore, I dream of a world...

>>14916369
My post opened up with talking about plotge, girls then moved on to asking about muramasas difficulty.
I dont really mind hard japanese unless if it affects the overall experience, that is if I end up reading to slow. So I guess I didnt realy expect backlash or anything just asking.
Still might as well try it

>>14916409
Not in a really meaningful sense... not going to be anal about that of course, not every post has to be substantial.
> So I guess I didnt realy expect backlash
Posts about language difficulty are never welcome here.

>>14841492
Not too fond of Futsuu no Fantasy as of yet. The meta jokes (like pic related, people repeating lines, demons having over-complicated yet ineffectual plots, the unfairness of heroes having infinite respawns, etc) would be funny if I hadn't seen them parodied in countless webcomics already. So far there is little fresh material, at most I can think of is how it's shows in detail the maou's mindset when he does stuff like flip his mantle dramatically which is fresh to read. What's really killing even that for me though is that the MC is pretty much a stereotypical teenage *Japanese* boy, not very Maou-esque really which really makes it hard to get into the story and jokes. Someone said "Futsuu no Fantasy's plot is so predictable and rote from the get-go that it's only hope is to have funny gags carry the game". As of yet, this is not the case, which is leading me to rely on lust for the red-head to carry me which is never a good thing for a non-nukige as far as I'm concerned. Well, that and a desire to see the scene where Jei reveals himself to be the maou to the heros, I bet that'll be interesting.

>>14917022
Someone said it does get better later on, but I couldn't last that long. And that's coming from a DQ fan.

>>14917271
>but I couldn't last that long
I know how you feel. I'm seriously torn here, is it that I don't have the patience to read vns or is it just that a ton of vns are really really boring. I find myself dropping 90% of vns I read.

>>14917444
Might wanna drop if it's already boring, I seem to remember they got to the demon castle at around 20+

Come to think of it, aren't Oretsuba and Subahibi pretty much the same game?

>>14917874
One has decent writing and annoying as fuck characters and the other has mediocre writing with pretty decent characters, so no.

>>14917886
But which is which?!

>>14917886
Shut up Habluka holy fuck

>>14917895
Oretsuba is the later, of course.

Sayonara o Oshiete is legitimately making me anxious. I can see the madness of the main character in myself so witnessing... this game is putting me on edge. The red tint is really setting the mood well, too. This is a classic for a reason, no doubt.

>>14918589

Romeo-sama is not just the greatest VN author of all time, he is the epitome of human wisdom, a god among men. There can be no doubt that each and every one of his works are among the greatest works of art humanity has ever produced. Praise be to Romeo-sama.

School harems need to die already.

>>14920597
Eroge should try generic 異世界 fantasy instead of generic school harems. It'd be a nice change of pace.

>>14920407

>>14920643
He was mandated by Takahiro, also the main part of Kouya takes place during the adult live of the characters

>>14920643
The school part of Shokomeza is just the common route. Prologue, if you will.

>when the protag has no voice

Why does anyone do this?

>>14920771
Waste of money

>>14920771
It's a considerable expense, few people actually care that much, and just as many are actively against it. From a business standpoint, voicing the protag would honestly be a pretty strange decision.

>>14920793
Voiced protag is one of biggest reasons why Hello Lady and Ruitomo are so highly praised.
Rance 03 had very good reception too, including Rance's voiced stuff.

>>14920801
The voiced protagonist is one of the reasons why I hated hello lady.

>>14920801
>Voiced protag is one of biggest reasons why Hello Lady and Ruitomo are so highly praised.
I fully believe that is complete and utter bullshit. Voiced protagonist doesn't mean shit if the writing is bad, and those games have good writing.

>>14920812
Hablukas don't count.

>>14920801
>Voiced protag is one of biggest reasons why Hello Lady and Ruitomo are so highly praised.
what?

>>14920801
Ruitomo was popular well before Tomo was voiced, his voice was added as a patch given with the FD

>>14920812
He is one of the best voiced protagonist, the acting is perfect
Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you?

I liked the voiced protag in monobeno. It definitely made it better.

>>14920812
I thought they did a great job with Narita's voice acting. Definitely one of the main reasons why I really liked the game.

>>14920407
So that explains why Shokomeza is shit

It's another game that isn't actually going to be good, but people will overhype because the main cast consists of lolis and that's the in thing right now. Monobeno was average but smug loli brought it up to meme game status.

デイグラシアの羅針盤 is the newest game recommended by hadler-sama.

Previous recommended games include 西暦2236年 or 一緒に行きましょう逝きましょう生きましょう.

>>14921107
The only good thing about Monobeno was the setting. The story itself was weak and most of the routes were completely irrelevant even though the revolved around said story. The true route was completely overwhelming. In the end it felt like a waste of time to read and I can only assume people enjoy it because of the lolis and all the extra H-scenes.

>One more thing that shows how clueless you are.
In the western community it's true. Lately if you don't like loli you're shunned for being an outsider.

>>14921133
Pretty sure we're all following his twitter, no need to specifically report it.

I see, that's probably true.

>>14921134
What do you mean by true route? Sumi after? That definetly can be called "true route", since it ties everything together the best and showcases most of the setting.

Alice's and Natsuha's after routes feel more like fandiscs for their fans. If you're not their fan, you might as well skip those routes. Alice's might be worth it for Gokaiso-chan though.

Also lol at that appeal to western community. Desperate.

Did you notice that what you wrote could be easily substituted by almost any criticism whatsoever? That's how irrelevant your opinion is.

Might as well just not criticize anything because you could replace the title of what you're critiquing with a different title regardless of whether the claims remain true.

>>14922145
Rather, when you do criticize, back yourself up, elaborate, give examples, etc etc

>>14922187
I agree with this. The main issue I see with a lot of knee-jerk criticism wars is that the participants don't actually try to tie their criticism to the game itself. It's often generic fallbacks like "the story was weak at points", "the pacing was poor and some scenes dragged on for too long", etc. It's much more interesting and fruitful when you can actually point to the bad parts and discuss why they are bad from there.

>>14922187
How about: if someone criticizes something without going into depth, just accept that it is their opinion and move on. You shouldn't have to write an essay ever time you say you disliked something, just as you shouldn't have to write an essay to say you enjoyed something.

>>14923396
You don't need an essay. When someone challenges you, either back yourself up or don't reply, making a dumb shallow reply like that is pointless.

>>14923636
He did back himself up, with generalized statements, because nobody wants to write an essay every time they decide not to like something. It's not a prerequisite for expressing your opinion.

If I'm reviewing a sandwich shop and say that the meatball sub tastes "off somehow," that's my opinion and I don't need to back it up with an essay. If I further clarify that it's because "the ingredients they used really didn't go well together" that also stands on its own. There is no need to put up or shut up here. It's a sandwich. People have opinions about them, even if the particularly opinion in question could have been describing a souffle or a banana split.

And you haven't challenged the truth of his generalized statements anyway.

>>14923703
Generalized statements are not good back up. It's the statements themselves which need back up.
>This game is bad.
>Oh yeah? Why?
>I don't like it.
Surely you can see why this is not a worthwhile exchange. If you're not going to explain why, and just dodge the subject with generalizations, then there's no need to reply. In your example, if I read a review and someone gave the meatball sub a low review because it was "off somehow", I'd ignore the review because it's not meaningful.
>And you haven't challenged the truth of his generalized statements anyway.

And so on and so on. Only good part of his post was that the routes were "irrelevant" which did gather a good response >>14921149

I want to be clear that I'm not implying every post should have a ton of elaboration and explanations. Posts just saying "I like this game", "I don't like this game", etc, generalized statements, etc, that's all fine. The only reason it's an "issue" right now is because Anon was challenged that he had actually not played the game, and his response, his summary of his thoughts, his review, was to make hella fucking general statements with practically no elaboration or explanation? What's the point?

Do any of you guys know how the PSN works?

I'm trying to buy muvluv doublepack for the Vita, but I only see the two separate games individually.

I've already played through the games years ago, but I'd enjoy playing it while I travel/commute for work and shit.

Please don't tell me it's only the physical version...

>>14923796
The FFX / X2 vita pack, X2 was a digital download and FFX was a base game. I wouldn't be surprised if muvluv was something similar.

That'd be a very unmeaningful generalization of you, like saying a whole argument is useless just because you can convert the modus ponens to tollens.
In short, you found his argument dumb and unconvincing, and thought that it's unlikely that asking him for details would bring about anything good. So, unless you really are asking "What's the point of being dumb when you don't know you are dumb?", his review is really meaningful and full of points, good sir.

Well, far be it from me to stop you from ignoring 99% of the "unmeaningful" reviews in this thread.

If you want elaboration and explanation you should ask for it.

How many of you fucks are actually fluent in Japanese>

>>14925820
You should fuck off, but beforehands note that fluent refers to active ability of language (speaking andf writing it) and strictly speaking no active ability is needed to read VNs.

>>14925820
I am fluent in text hooking.

>>14925854
Me too! Small world.

>>14925854
There are people that actually use text hookers?

>>14925903
Of course, how else would you read all those weird ass chicken scratches before you see them enough times to remember them by heart? Auto-furigana is a godsend for reading and learning.

>>14925907
By reading things with furigana obviously. No text hooker required.

>>14925918
Why limit myself like that? text hookers take what, 15 seconds to set up? And after that I can read normally.

Serious response to trolls: Far too many games don't work with texthookers (especially new ones that people haven't found the H code for, and especially older games people can't find the H code for) so relying on it is not something I'd ever recommend, it'd prevent you from reading a good chunk of VNs.

>>14926049
Meh, I'm using a text hooker for like 3 - 4 times during a game with weird kanji. I could find another methods if texthookers wouldn't work (like a dictionary, something I even use when reading English literature) but it's the most comfortable solutions.

>>14926049
>Far too many games don't work with texthookers
Name 10

>>14926049
I stopped using Text Hookers mainly because of how a lot of older games don't have silent mode. This is a crime, though, every fucking game should have silent mode.

>>14926049
Complete bullshit, I'm trying 2-3 games per every month and almost didnt get any games which doesn't work with texthookers. I'm pretty sure you cant name 10 games which released in last 5-6 years.

You dont even need h-code for most of them now.

>>14926063
>silent mode
What's that?

>>14926062
セミラミスの天秤 requires a ton of fiddling I don't want to do
戦御村正
雨芳恋歌 didn't work, but ITH may work
Some PC-98 games I've tried playing but emulating is a mess. Many DLsite VN-game hybrids have too much game text to texthook. Console only games like Chaos Child (at the moment) (p.s. PSP texthooking is still a mess).

And I haven't even played *that* many games. I'm a newbie in this area with less than a year's experience. So I can only imagine discovering more and more games that can't be texthooker the further I poke around. That is, if I keep using one. Let me restate: The be clear: The majority of games absolutely work with texthookers, but a good number don't.
>>14926061
Frankly I have a hard time believing you use a texthooker 3-4 times a game. However, supposing you're telling the truth, I said "relying on it" i.e. furigana injecting and reading the whole game like that, so using it 3-4 times is not relying on it.
>>14926092
Most new games use Kiri Kiri which is always texthookable. Also why limit it to 5-6 years? I'm talking about all media across all time, no reason to limit it. It's an awful position to be in to say
>"Oh, a cool VN for a console, I can't pread it though because I can't texthooker"
>"Oh cool, a VN. Aw damn, can't be texthooked, guess I'm fucked."

>>14926107
>Frankly I have a hard time believing you use a texthooker 3-4 times a game

Because that's not what I wrote.

During a generic moege, the numbers tends to hit 0.

>>14926107
>Some PC-98 games I've tried playing but emulating is a mess.
I've had problems with only one single game in my entire life with PC-98. Took like hours to set it up, but after that nothing.

>>14926049
I just use texthookers because it's more convenient than looking up via radicals and still have to look stuff up often enough when not reading moege/SoL setting stuff that radical search takes up more time than desired. Just turn off all of the stupid parsing/furigana shit and don't rely on it too much and it's fine.

>>14926119
Same difference dude, surely you're aware of how pointless that correction was.
>>14926124
>and don't rely on
My post was explaining why one shouldn't rely on a texthooker, not why one shouldn't use one at all.

>>14926107
>"Oh, a cool VN for a console, I can't pread it though because I can't texthooker"
>"Oh cool, a VN. Aw damn, can't be texthooked, guess I'm fucked."

Yes, and? Without a texthooker that would apply to every single VN out there unless you can read most kanji in it. I don't get what you mean.

>>14926128
Yeah, I guess I was more expanding on your post rather than disagreeing with it.

>>14926107
>Also why limit it to 5-6 years?
Because you have said so? Did you even read your own post?
>especially new ones that people haven't found the H code
>especially

Also almost every older games have h-codes too so you are not limiting yourself in any way even if you are talking about all media across all time.

Sorry but you are just taking things from your ass and speaking like they are right for sure, even though you have no idea how many games are hookable and how many are not. I'm playing untranslated games for 3-4 years and I'm only opening them if I saw a really weird kanji, which happens pretty rare, but I really dont like how you are trying to shit on those people who use them without any facts.

>>14926142
I literally followed that with "and especially older games people can't find the H code for". So I'm really baffled at your post.

I also am not shitting on people who use them. I explicitly stated RELYING on them because I saw someone make a troll post about not learning kanji in order to use furigana.

All I can imagine is that you didn't read my post well, flared up in anger, and aren't thinking straight.
>>14926131
See above. I'm really getting the feeling people are not paying attention.

>>14926146
And? You have said that "but a good number don't" and couldnt give even a couple of examples?

セミラミスの天秤 works
戦御村正 is not even playable, Are you getting random games from google? Because of a bug you cant even play that game, everyone is waiting for update patch.
雨芳恋歌 also should work with ITHVNR.

So, you didnt even get a single game which is unhookable, but still trying to shit on people with random facts from your ass, saying "you'll not able to play good amount of them"

>>14926162
セミラミスの天秤 requires a lot of fiddling like I said.
戦御村正 is playable, I played it, and the text doesn't hook.
Furthermore, I listed examples in console games, which are undeniably untexthookable and great in number.
And finally, I even said I was elaborating. I don't doubt as I play more games I'll find more that don't hook. Your hostility is leading to you not reading my posts. I suggest you calm down and stop attacking, because you're making yourself look silly.

>EOPs shitting up the thread with their text hooking arguments

We would appreciate you all returning to /vg/.

>>14926166
>requires a lot of fiddling
It takes only fucking 30 seconds, I have finished that fucking game one year ago mate.
戦御村正; Yeah game starts and continues for a while then you are getting stuck in the middle. See >>14921622 >>14921628 >>14921984 >>14922070 It uses same Unicorn-A shit, getting a h-code is not a problem IF they can ever get that fucking update and fix the game.

And only console games? How many of them worth of playing? like 5, 10 maybe? Most likely not even that much, since all of them are getting pc releases if they are good. And I wouldnt count that much as "great in number".

As I said you are just trying to shit on people who are using it, and showing how masterace you are, without being able to count even 5 unhookable games.

>>14926172
Comments like this are why the argument is happening. Making blanket statements about texthookers regardless of whether it's just using it to make looking stuff up in a dictionary easier or being a shitter that lets it handhold you through everything by generating furigana and parsing the grammar and shit (or even machine translating, but hopefully no one here actually does that).

>>14926184
>Yeah game starts and continues for a while then you are getting stuck in the middle.
OK, but the text doesn't hook, and you can read text before it crashes.
>How many of them worth of playing?
I don't see your point.
>As I said you are just trying to shit on people who are using it
Allow me to quite the firsts post so you can see how silly you are
>How else would you read all those weird ass chicken scratches before you see them enough times to remember them by heart? Auto-furigana is a godsend for reading and learning.
>Far too many games don't work with texthookers so relying on it is not something I'd ever recommend, it'd prevent you from reading a good chunk of VNs.
How am I shitting on anyone? Show me shitting on people. I'm not. I've simply come across games that don't work with texthookers, I know console games don't work with texthookers, so I don't recommend RELYING on texthookers, because you will become unable to play many games. I remember Silverio Vendetta having a problem of crashing with texthookers unless you bend your back to avoid it, Ayakashibito that I'm playing right now eats up memory until the game can't play when I hook it, there's lots of problems I have with texthookers and thus wouldn't recommend relying on them to the point where you'll always need them.

Next time, read posts slowly and thoroughly before replying and getting angry. Thank you.

>>14926100
It's a mode in some VNs that allows you to have the BGM playing even when you minimize the VN or switch windows.

>>14926591
>BGM playing even when you minimize the VN or switch windows.
Other anon here. I thought that it's a glitch. First time to know that it's a feature not bad coding.

>>14926591
>>14926623
I thought the glitch was music stopping when you tab out, actually. My main sources of music are youtube and foobar, and both keep playing while minimized, so I logically thought VNs would naturally keep playing music when minimized/tabbed out of.

>>14916247
Dunno, I see more posts discussing moege.
I prefer plotge, i can't stand moege at all. I dropped oretsuba even though it's top rated.
Plot first, cure girls next.(don't misunderstand, i'm not into stuff like "No, thank you" or other gay shit) Just don't care enough about grills and H-scenes.

>>14920776
Why? You can raise the VN's price a bit to compensate. Some VNs would be less great if they had unvoiced MC, e.g. Muramasa, Baldr sky, Steins Gate.
No voice is only acceptable if it has a special meaning for the story(Ever17, 12Riven).

>>14926128
Plenty of us don't use text hookers at all. Why would you have a hard time believing someone uses it but needs it infrequently?

Although I think if you're only using it 3-4 times it's not worth the effort to set it up to begin with.

>>14926201
> so I don't recommend RELYING on texthookers
You're arguing against a strawman. Nobody relies on text hookers forever if they are actually trying to learn Japanese, and when most people first start reading they don't have a choice but to rely on them. If you just finished Tae Kim you can't just decide "You know what, I'm not going to rely on text hookers" because you just won't be able to read anything. You will be choosing stuff based on their difficulty already, so it really doesn't effect things that much to have to take into account whether text hookers work with the game.

>>14920812
The voiced protagonist was the only reason I didn't drop it. Everything else was pretty bad.

>>14926692
>Although I think if you're only using it 3-4 times it's not worth the effort to set it up to begin with.
That's what I mean. I myself frequently don't use texthookers, so I'm not doubting he is of that level of proficiency. I just don't know why someone of that level would go to the lengths to hook a game just to look up 3-4 kanji instead of just using radicals or whatever. Infrequently, is one thing. 3-4 times is entirely another, it's just so little that I doubt someone actually would still use texthookers ever if they needed it so rarely.
>>14926697
>How else would you read all those weird ass chicken scratches before you see them enough times to remember them by heart? Auto-furigana is a godsend for reading and learning.
I consider someone relying on auto-furigana to read kanji to be relying on texthookers.
Also you will be able to read anything without texthookers it will just take more time, not that I reccomend that.

>>14926704
Are you arguing against Clephas's method or something? Why make a post to argue against something that everyone already knows is stupid.

>>14926720
No I quoted the post that made me make my post.

I'm not even arguing against anything, I'm just having to clarify that I'm just saying it's bad to rely on texthookers, no one's said it's good to rely on texthookers - they're all misunderstanding me to either be saying don't use texthookers or that texthookers are bad.

>>14926187
>being a shitter that lets it handhold you through everything by generating furigana and parsing the grammar and shit
What's wrong with that? I have no interest in Japanese, I just want to read VNs. Texthooker lets me read VN. Instead of concentrating all my power of will and time to learn these stupid kanji, I enjoy reading.

>>14926683
No voice is acceptable in every single VN where you're meant to self insert i.e. 99% of them.

Ah, so this is how it is. つ～い、つ～い、終ノ空.

What do you guys think of new sagaplanet's characters? It may be just me but seriously not even one seems charming to me, The classic annoying childhood friend main heroine with classic tsundere friend + a foreign blonde who sleeps in the middle of conversation and lastly an airhead.

I got suckered into playing a co-op game with friends online lately so I haven't had much free time left for VNs, but I was reading Noratoto for a while before that.

It's quite enjoyable, but suffers from a few major flaws, and I think the main one is how erratic the storyflow is. Kind of like a Slice of Life but with an overarching "plot" in the world destruction plan. They don't really let you get invested in the few developments they make. It makes sense that they're only making shorts for the upcoming anime adaptation, because that's really how it all feels, a bunch of shorts. The jokes are somewhat thought out though and generally, they've made me laugh, although they can get a bit overstrung at times.

That said, the voice actress for Asuhara, Kiritani Hana (same as Maitetsu's Hachiroku that some other people are expecting here) is simply a pleasure to listen to. Maybe it's just me and I'm getting a thing for these kogal types lately. Also, I said it when I started reading the game a few weeks back in this thread too that I liked the usage of a narrator since it gives it a fairy tale-ish feel to the whole Makai thing going on. The Neko no Okangae segments are kind of odd as a choice you make, but they're good saving points if you read in short bursts like I do.

I'll probably try to sneak in a few hours more now that the initial fever rush is gone and finish two routes at least, Patricia's and Asuhara's. I don't know if I'll 100% the game, though. Nobuchina is cute but probably doomed to a fandisk, if ever.

>>14930510
>flying is cheaper than travelling by train

huh...

>>14930514
I think any semblance of authenticity in Maitetsu's world was lost when super advanced androids were made in late Meiji era to serve in trains.

>>14930510
>privately-owned railway
Wait what, really? Don't tell me they'll be actually going with privatization in this shit? I hope I'm being trolled

>>14930528
I somehow doubt it'll be the main crux of the plot, but yes, privatized local railways companies are a way to preserve railways even when facing the cheap flight alternative.

Although perhaps we can expect some ecological messages, since the reason why MC comes back to his hometown is because
>長じて帝大へと進学した彼は、第二の故郷を、工場誘致による水汚染から救うべく、御一夜へ帰還。

>>14930559
My hype died when it was revealed it would be about trains.

>>14930571
Yeah, it should have been Eustia-like low fantasy with the themes of difficult lives of lolis in such ages.

>>14930571
I like trains but I didn't expect it to be a libertarian lolige, especially if it's in the title

Kinda an odd question but why isn't /vn/ and /uvn/ joined, was there a reason for them to split?

Also I see /uvn/ hate english readers, and japanese learning questions (though the later could just be off topic questioning)
and /vn/ seems to hate japanese readers despite their games were translated from japanese.

any reason for the animosity?

>>14930592
Not wanting retarded /vg/ style of shitposting here is hardly animosity. The /vg/ thread is terrible because it's constant and has nothing new to discuss most of the time. And because /vg/ always fostered terrible tripfaggotry.

This thread isn't called /uvn/ and questions about learning Japanese aren't liked because they're not related to untranslated VNs, they're related to learning Japanese which isn't purpose of this thread.

>>14930592
/vn/ hates Japanese readers because as English-only readers they are objectively inferior to them (sounds chuuni but it's true) which will naturally build reinstatement. Post a good untranslated VN there and every gets upset they can't read it. That environment doesn't engender good discussion so splitting the generals just makes sense.

This thread doesn't like language discussion because it's off topic, yet so many people learn Japanese to read VNs that people just keep posting about the language which gets pretty annoying. Imagine /lit/ if every other post was some Japanese dude or some French dude posting about learning English and shit. Wouldn't be good. I don't think there's any resentment towards people who don't know Japanese though. At most, scorn and mockery for not being able to read games such as Muramasa, Baldr Sky and other such big-name titles. Imagine /v/ where 50% of people couldn't play MGSV, Dark Souls 3, etc.

Is there a need for any other reason? Having 2 groups that hate each other share a thread would only spawn shitposting.

>>14930625
It might seem logical like that, but I know it's まい = "my", cause the writer mentioned it on one talk event.

kanojounoseiiki?

still dont know how feng decided to make a nukige with a story that works but still is so shit

>>14930657
Pretty much anything non-nukige. I've seen enough deflowering scenes by now that I can guess the dialogue before it happens.

>>14930657
>>14930677
I thought everyone's in on the secret. You CTRL through H scenes as you play, lightly check if there was something plot-related in them and perhaps fap to them later if you're in the mood.

>>14930682
My autism won't let me.

>>14930682
but its a nukige with a story

i guess it feels shit cause of the single heroine is easily outclassed by every other female.

shes bland and boring.

In seitokai no ichizon they mentioned an eroge the the protag was the villian in the murder mystery.

Are there eroges like this.

Also why are villianous protags the best?

>>14930728
>Also why are villianous protags the best?
Because you got sick of nice protagonists

>>14930592
I don't even hate English readers as long as they aren't shitposting (which is contained /vg/ thread) but unfortunately some of the Moogy-lites here are constantly on a massive ego trip.

>>14930752
>Moogy-lites here are constantly on a massive ego trip

How can English readers be Moogy-lites?

>>14930743
I guess most protags just comment everything around them going on, while being the most generic character ever.

your usual tropes like

calling a girl cute when shes cute or close to them;

telling girls they're accidently touching their breasts or commenting their smell when close

getting called out for inner monologues

not understanding refferences/dirty jokes that the reader gets

does thing to help out girl and be generic nice dude but get girls to fall for him

being either the normal person in a group of elites or being the super elite person in a group elites

list goes on

>>14930728
>>14930791
Go read Futsuu no Fantasy. Protagonist is literally the main villain Demon Lord and he's still boring and generic. Interesting protagonists ENTIRELY rely on the skill of the author, not archetypes like "villain", "good guy", etc.

>>14930763
You misread my post. The Moogy-lites are the ones who hate English readers.

>>14930794
>Futsuu no Fantasy. Protagonist is literally the main villain Demon Lord
Lol, no, he is not.
He's white knight from other dimension who was summoned by true maou, so he would defeat crazy goddess who turned that world into her little RPG. He never was "evil" and its no surprise he sticks to his white knight patterns despite light brainwashing he received.

>>14930794
but wouldnt a villian act villiany?
how could they mess it up?

>>14930799
Ah, fair enough. My bad.

What happened with Chrono clock?

>>14931476
It's was mysteriously unsatisfying and only had porn as separate extra scenes. Later it was announced for Western release, so that might be the reason.

>>14931485
>western release
Now that's a terrible idea.

>>14930682
I masturbate to each scene as they come up for heroines I like so long as they don't contain things that kill my boner.
Only in nukige do I skip around but that's more because I'm looking for a quick session.

I'm pretty sure they get at least one translation a month, and probably a higher quality game than the average monthly moege.

>>14932409
Ironically most games translated are "average monthly moege". Recently translated games: KoiChoco, KoiRizo... at best they got Yuri Ghosts.

>>14932409
for each montly translation we get like 20 or more bad moege, so your point still fails.

>>14930592
at least this got better answers than on /vg/

Looking at the setting, Paulette is basically the town's mayor *and* local railway president and they want to show us private local railways are the way to go? Which feels weird since railways in Japan are mostly privatized nowadays. Although local railways aren't necessarily private, but they do say 社長. What else did you catch from what the writer said?

>>14934725
I presume the main point will be the preservation aspect of it. Even when a change comes on macro scale, people can preserve the old thing on micro scale. To make this lesson work with the game's train theme, you have the premise of affordable flight travel replacing trains, but trains get preserved on local level through people's efforts.

When you think about it, Monobeno was kinda like this too. I don't remember the situation being 100% clarified, but in Monobeno's world at the time the story took place youkai were pretty much in Monobeno only, no? E.g. local preservation of something old.

This is just a conjecture on my part, of course.

oh thanks

Anybody try the English and Japanese versions of the same vn?
How'd you find it?
Phoenix wright seems much serious in Japanese but much funnier in english.
With danganronpa some of the jokes are kinda lost in translation, also the English voices sound way too cartoony.

Also heard that there was a dies irae or muramsasa reference in it do you guys know what or where it is?

>>14934893
Please go to appropriate thread for discussion of translated stuff.

>>14934893
I'll take this chance to post these two trailers, so which one has the best voices? For once I think the english one isn't that bad.

But holy shit, this is defentily the best VN of 2016. Not ISLAND nor shokomeza can top this.

>>14935082
Considering 999 was mediocre and Zero Escape was pure shit, sorry but I don't have much expectation for this

>>14935082
Hard to call it a VN considering it will have no narration and will be done purely in Telltale's style
Looks like a bad horror B movie by the way

>>14935082
>shokomeza
Probably it wont be even at top 5.

>>14935111
It will probably be better than fucking Zero Escape though

>>14935082
Akikuru will be better though

>>14935082
I wonder why Japanese buyers don't give any fucks about Uchikoshi. What could be the reason?

>>14935136
Because he keeps making the same shit again and again and again?

>>14935130
I hope Akikuru will be a nice middle ground between Harukuru and Natsukuru
Natsukuru was very well paced and interesting all the way through but lacked the punch that Harukuru, that had some big pacing problems, had

>>14935142
When you consider his main shit (Ever17) and his new shit (Zero Escape trilogy) is available to English readers, why aren't they sick of it?

Cause they don't have dozens VNs every month to choose something more interesting from?

>>14935168
There are several reasons but the main reasons are
-The series started on a nintendo console
-it doesn't looks like "moe shit"
A lot of american players are interested in that kind of cheap brick shitting games but reject anything that look too anime, especially if it's released on anything else than a Nintendo console
999 got popular because it threaded the same line as Gyakuten Saiban aka Phoenix Wright

>>14915979
There were lots of interesting things flashing by. I tried to record it and take screenshots but it would just be black.

>>14935082
Didn't care too much for 999 so not too interested.

I was curious on how people here felt after reading the japanese and english version of the same VN.

>>14935881
>I was curious on how people here felt after reading the japanese and english version of the same VN.

I feel like noone does that cause it's a waste of time.

>>14935884
I read a manga in Japanese, that I had only read in English before. The plot became a lot clearer and the characters a lot more notably distinct in dialogue. I can definitely see myself re-reading select VNs in Japanese, if the experience will always be that different. Cross Channel for sure, probably Fate Stay Night, Umineko (if I can find a way to keep it NVL format but also have voices), and Tsukihime. Thankfully I only read a handful of VNs in English.
