This thread is for the discussion of untranslated Japanese visual novels.

Is it? I dislike how there's always excessive lewd situations and dialogue before the H-scenes in seemingly pure games, unfortunately that's how most games are. If Giniro is actually different I'll play it in a heartbeat.

Isn't key completely finished with that?
>>
>>15863660
Key is just one brand of Visual Arts. And as far as Key goes, Visual Arts recently focused mainly on milking their previous works, both enhanced Japanese releases and EOP releases. Last hurrah before this hit, I guess.
>>
>>15863676
They still have Na-Ga attached to key. I wonder what VisualArts plan to do with him now.
His designs are usually quite popular and can attract people. For modern key he is probably more popular than Itaru.

>>15863719
Right, I forgot about that guy. I had Key = Itaru in my mind.

We'll get it soon enough probably.
After all Itaru is gone from VA now and Maeda is barely alive on an artificial heart.

Key is practically dead. Sagapla can't recover completely from loosing Niijima too.
What's even left for VA now? Tone Work's, Iris and Hamham soft? That's kinda not funny.

Of course they'll have no choice but to use at least Na-Ga somehow.

>>
>>15865122
If all dudes are 50% girl and they produce a girl with a girl who is 50% dude, can't they make 100% dudes, 50% dude/girls, and 100% girls?
>>
>>15865164
Because dudes give half of them self, 25% dude and 25% girl. Since the girl also gives 25% dude and 25% girl genes, it always equals out to 50/50. A 50% dude giving all of his dude genes, and a 50% girl giving all of her dude genes, would be like flipping a coin and it landing on heads millions of times in a row, and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern died before having children.

Been playing this. It's been great so far, highly recommended for pretty much anyone to try out. I was very pleasantly surprised to learn that it doesn't take place in a school (club) and that the cast largely consists of adults and college-aged individuals.

Their only choice is reviving maeda with black magic or something. I dont agree with the sagaplanet part though, they are definitely not at the "unrecoverable" point, They just have to stop making stupid mistakes in their game like Hanasaki or their last game Floral Flowlove.
>>
>>15865759

I thought the Hanasaki "mistakes" were just /jp/ memes, did the Japanese community really care that much?
>>
>>15865759
>Floral Flowlove
What's the problem with it? Marketing a game with a serious story as a moege?
>>
>>15865904
Those memes were originally from the Japanese community. But judging by how well it did I assume it's a minority.
>>
>>15865929
There was a drop of sales from Hanasaki to Floflo so there probably was some damage.
>>
>>15865759
I agree. They still have a chance of comeback. But other than stopping stupid mistakes they should really rethink current strategy.
If you remember how hyped and well received was Hatsuyuki Sakura before and after it was released then it's obvious that current Saga Planets has a lot to do to repeat something like that.

They don't require ID verification like Tenso so if where you're buying from will take your payments directly I'd recommend them.
Otherwise there's a load of proxy services designed to buy for you. You'll want to make sure they'll handle R-18 type stuff though.

Are there any games with heroines that literally have no knowledge of sex whatsoever until the protag fucks her? Bonus points for not knowing what a penis is and being confused by it.

>>
>>15868587

>>
>>15868593

>>
>>15868706
It's hard to explain exactly, but there's this maturity of the characters and their actions which often isn't present with high schoolers. It's kind of like, "yeah, this is the real world", instead of a rose-colored fantasy high school where the classes are always skipped, clubs are everything, and inconsequential stuff like watching porno is literally the greatest sin a man can commit. In other words, it almost feels like the "high school" setting is akin to a fantasy setting, a fantasy high school with fantasy characters acting out a fantasy that college-age characters don't need to.

Every high school game isn't written by the same individual, so I don't mean to say every high school game is written in that certain way with characters acting out a fantasy. It does seem to me, though, that the majority are. Additionally, I'm sure someone's going to think "this is fiction, of course the characters are acting out a fantasy, it's all fake". However, I think that's not a very meaningful observation. Realism is certainly attainable in fiction writing. Whether it's as important to others as it is to me, I'm not sure, but I do value it highly and as far as I can tell the realism of games that don't take place in high school on average are drastically higher than those that do.
>>15868717
Indeed.
>>
>>15868747
>there's this maturity of the characters and their actions which often isn't present with high schoolers
So you don't like highschool because the age of the characters makes you uncomfortable?
>>
>>15868759
No, but rather, the tendency of their actions to be fantasy. To clarify, I meant that high schoolers in eroge tend to lack the maturity which high schoolers should have, because the works in general revolve around fantasy which games featuring college-aged or above characters do not. When I was in my final two years of high school (wherein most eroge seem to take place), it became apparent that we were all on the precipice of adulthood. Most of my friends had jobs, sex was abound, political activism was taken seriously by many, and so on and so on. This all took place in the background of studying hard for college. Yet, in almost all of the high school games I've read, this is all discarded to maintain fantasy. Fantasies such as, the world is perfect (except for small problems for the protagonist to overcome), girls are pure and unknown to sex, politics don't exist, classes don't exist (except when a "study group" scene is deemed necessary). I have no issue with the high school setting itself, but rather the fantasy it brings with it so often. That fantasy demeans characters and forces them into banal archetypes because anything more isn't permitted by the fantasy. In fact, it is common for characters to be contrived entirely out of fantasy, such as violent tsunderes which would never exist in reality. This lack of realism, reflected in the characters lack of maturity, in something I do not like at all.

As mentioned, this is not a necessary element of the school setting. There are high school games which do not conform to the fantasy. It ultimately comes down to the skill of the writer - and his desire to avoid the fantasy - but it seems to me that the state of the industry now and for awhile has led to most writers either lacking the skill or desire to avoid the fantasy, creating a consistent deluge of fantasy high schools with fantasy characters acting out a fantasy. It is this which I resent.
>>
>>15868797
There's a lot of variance to high schools depending on where you're from. When I was in high school people mostly ignored politics, didn't care much about world problems (maybe because I was in a wealthy area), and I hardly felt any tension during senior year when applying to university. Classes were mostly chill (blame my country for having retardedly easy secondary school curriculum), and there was a huge Asian population so more people cared about playing games/doing math/programming than sex. There were certainly a good number of students playing around and chilling with their friend circle every day even well into their senior year. My relatives from Asia said they and their classmates didn't engage with world problems or politics much in high school because academics were absolute hell and there was hardly time to think about anything else, and most schools didn't let you have part time jobs.

I wouldn't have called myself or most of the people I interacted with mature, so I guess school settings are sort of in the acceptable category. Then again it's not like I've played many moege or even recent eroge with a school setting, so I might be talking out of my ass.
>>
>>15868747
It would be uncomfortable if these games were realistic and if characters acted according to their age. The girls would smoke, drink alcohol and have sex, and it would probably be even worse in college.. No thanks. I like the typical "fantasy high school" setting.
>>
>>15869063
I would like them to act according to their age, doing just the things you are describing.

Different tastes.
>>
>>15869023
I wasn't intending to paint "the fantasy" as an image of real high schoolers as "not chill" and that the failing of eroge is that their high schoolers are excessively chill. In fact, often a problem with fantasy high schoolers in eroge is their lack of chill (see: violent tsunderes). The actions I listed were just representations of how 17 and 18 year olds are practically adults, mentally and physically (although not quite), yet the high schoolers in eroge rarely acted the part. Particularly when chilling, even. In these fantasy high school VNs, the "chilling" itself is fantasy and unrealistic most of the time with mind-numbing dialogue and a general lack of character due to shallowness in general.

For me, I've read over a hundred of these school VNs and many of them not particularly popular, and those are what I'm thinking about now. At the very least, had they not been restricted by the fantasy, they could have been interesting.
>>15869063
They need not smoke, drink alcohol, or have sex, but it would be an improvement if they were comfortable with the concept of such actions.

>>
>>15869090
One thing I've noticed over the last years is that people frequently have subtly different opinions than I do, and I get asked frequently how I can play so many moege/charage. The answer is relatively simple... I read about 20 times faster than most of the rest of you - with the exception of a few bibliophiles. What is a true chore, taking up tens of hours for you, might very well only be a short eight to ten hours for me. Reading that fast - whether in English or Japanese - gives me a greatly different perspective than a lot of the others here.

My stamina for reading in general and reading VNs in particular is far higher than the rest of you. Fundamentally, the idea of breaking a VN up over the course of weeks or months is alien to me, since even the longest ones will only take me about thirty hours (even in a busy week, I can usually manage to squeeze that in during breaks and meals).

One of the reasons people tend to get tired of VNs is a lack of stimulation due to low reading speed. I read fast enough that a good VN's stimulation will be close to constant, whereas a slow reader will sometimes come to feel 'in-between' scenes that are meant to be short and informative as painful and long. I burnout less often than you. For me, burnout is a process that takes months. There is another type of burnout that I experience when I play a truly great VN... but this is something that is almost like that feeling you get after a night of good sex, so it is closer to 'pleasurable exhaustion'.

As a note, I found Kana to be a pretty good JK and Akeiro in general to have a nice high school setting. Not really the ideal (what the FUCK was with her route + still would be fine out of school (see nanairo))) but pretty good.

Which game this is from?
>>
>>15869090
visual novels cater mostly to the people in that age category, which is why they take place in said setting. Or so the devs are led to believe, I think.
I think most nukige are catered to the older college attenders, with really little to no emphasis on complex stories for most of the studios out there. It's probably because they really don't know what their target audience wants; most of the time, all they ever seem to do is take popularity polls for characters. If they subtly identified their target age group using this it would help inform their decisions in choosing game presentation and plot progression.

Supply and demand, yes. They don't really know how to go about it.

Yeah I enjoyed Nanairo quite a lot. Less school, more plot. Also the characters' interactions between each other were well written. The best parts were when they were talking between each other instead of with the mc.

Akeiro is still on-going.. At least Kana is much better than the main girl in Nanairo, but Velvet's route was really boring. Kuso bad end too. Only this part was good:

Who are the coolest kids in the western eroge fandom these days?

Moogy used to be the guy whose opinions on eroge spawned a lot of discussion because he read all the big titles and people fucking hated his pompous ass, but for some reason he's irrelevant now
>>
>>15869152
The scene (not fandom? lol) is too big for a single pundit to be all that influential at this point. If you really want to find the "great men" of our current state, they'd be the fan translators working to bring titles over. Aroduc, Arunaru, Good Haro, Bad End, etc. Additionally, the blog posts by the writers of Tanoshimi are probably the single greated insight western readers have into the untranslated seas of untranslated Japanese titles.
>>
>>15869152
Denka's irrelevant? Are you memeing?

Anyway, I guess Kastel (but recently he focuses on different media), Conjueror-sama, hadler, sacredge0 etc. The fact that some of them only read eroge for few years show how easy it's to get big. Just be loud and persistent enough.

Or some fagboys from Reddit like Quof (if you see a longer post detailing some VN in this thread, chances are it's him and next Tuesday you'll see the same thing on Reddit, Gao Gao).

>>15869095
Pure x Connect had university student heroine and even a full-fledged working heroine who both drank alcohol, so it's not like pure love and older than high school age are mutually exclusive matters. Or Damekoi's Himeo. Though when it comes to smoking and also pure girls I can only remember SubaHibi's Yuki who does it regularly and YMK's Mizuki trying it out once, or (small spoiler for another game) Himawari's Asuka.

Sure, they're rare exceptions but I don't really find those traits in any way in conflict with pure love. High schoolers who have interest in those things or over high school age heroines who act the part and yet are still virgins aren't any more unrealistic than the more often used cadre of popular high school 美人 who trash all love advances coming their way until the protagonist with his unbeatable 優しさ comes along.

I agree with >>15868797 that these sort of traits and other elements could be used to create overall more immersive or at least a different experience, as the majority of pure love eroge are too far out of touch with reality, which in itself isn't bad especially if the writer is otherwise good, but it feels like there's an oversaturation of same unrealistic settings and traits while others which could still work with pure love genre seem to be avoided like plague. It's hard to feel even the slightest bit of the intended ドキドキ if the heroines are only made up of recycled archetypes and all scenes are idealized stuff that no person would ever encounter in real life.

Why is there no JRPG general anywhere
>>
>>15869328
Not him, but I don't think someone who does not know Nekoneko already will like Lamune 2. They are recently targeting fans more than ever (mainly after the 15th anniversary and also because a lot of people who was not a fan already left after the White fiasco), so I would expect Lamune 2 to be as much, er, 'doujinish' as Sumire was.
If you really are interested, you should play at least Mizuiro, Lamune and Sorairo. Lamune is particularly something I think most here would just hate for being boring though, so if you just want to play something from them, I guess Scarlett and Sanarara are the best choices.

>>15869345
It isn't incomplete in the true sense since Tomo wrote everything he wanted to write for it, and it does make sense. But I will not bother explaining this now.
>>
>>15869530
This may sound like a joke, but JRPG general on /vg/ was flooded with spoilers supposedly from jackass Japanese players who wanted to ruin the games for as many people as possible. It got so bad most people left and the thread itself just died. That's the summary.
>>
>>15869537
So the game will non stop reference the older titles or something? I'm not really interested in playing those, they don't seem particulary good AND have bad art. At least Lamune 2 has what looks like will be good visuals. I'll probably wait a week or two and see what reviews say I guess. Are you playing it on release, since you sound like you played most of their stuff?

Not exactly "non stop", but something along these lines. Probably like Sumire, it will also not be simply a question of "references", but how understanding and liking the main theme and everything else will rely on what you know of the developer, as well.

>they don't seem particulary good AND have bad art
You really shouldn't ask for my opinions on the Lamune 2 release since I really disagree with both things you said there then! But yes, I'll play it, and have played most of their stuff.

The point is that this kind of realism is not well regarded or well received among usual eroge fans. I'm pretty sure that if you'll ask Japanese fans, you won't find many that would prefer older than high-school setting regardless of their actual age.
The main point of eroge or even ranobe and anime has been about providing that rose-colored 青春 fantasy for quite a while now.
Indeed there are some low-price nukiges for a more casual audience that is far from core eroge fans and those generally tend to have older characters, more realistic exposition, things like prostitution, etc.

Personally I prefer high-school settings. And it's not about treating the world there from a point of view of our real world and its realism, it's about accepting the world there as real for its characters and enjoying characters living there thoroughly. It's among the lines of feeling that it would be nice if world was like that instead of the real one, it would have been nice to have adolescence like that, it would have been nice to have friends like that, and other things like that.

Of course it's up to you if you don't feel like that or don't like worlds like pictured in high-school eroge, but I think it would be quite frustrating when mainstream in the medium is so different from your preferences.
>>
Probably people who got tired of the typical high school eroge setting already stopped playing visual novels a long time ago. But it's common sense that the very small niche alive audience that will buy visual novels is into that.
Very difficult for developers to deviate from such formula in those circumstances without losing more buyers.
>>
>>15870460
Even games with adult protagonists have
>the feeling that it would be nice if world was like that instead of the real one, it would have been nice to have [a life] like that, it would have been nice to have friends like that, and other things like that.
just without a fake high school back drop. I really don't see what high school itself adds to the experience nowadays. Classes are ignored, and that's the fundamental heart of a school. Without learning, why take place in a school? What's the point? What does it add? I don't think it adds anything expect the necessity to destroy realism to keep it in.
>>
>>15870497
It's easy to arrange meeting and social interactions for different characters there.
Don't forget that most eroge players and even writers are コミュ障 beyond any help. This makes a lot of social interactions out of high-school hard to believe or execute.
>>
>>15870497
The main reason is that no one except for a few niche fetishists are attracted to old hags, so if you want a non-high-school setting there has to be a valid reason why girls of that age aren't in school. Fantasy worlds can easily do it but in a modern Japan setting it's difficult.

There's not really a significant difference between 18 year old and 20 year old bodies.
>>15870528
Interesting theory. I don't really think it's *that* hard though. Just like there exists school clubs, there exists clubs in reality. Much like there exists classrooms, there exists jobs with coworkers. Bam, instant meet ups. That's just two solutions of many with as little effort as HS required. Though perhaps the abundance of non-high school settings in PC98 games is the best indicator it's not that hard to work with non-high school settings.
>>
>>15870529
>Fantasy worlds can easily do it but in a modern Japan setting it's difficult.
This is why I will continue to complain about the lack of fantasy settings in eroge.

The thing with jobs (and university to an extent) is that the people you regularly interact with are more specialized. I can't remember the last time I had a non-small talk conversation with someone who wasn't in my field and also wasn't a relative.

>>15870546
>There's not really a significant difference between 18 year old and 20 year old bodies
It's not so much about the bodies, especially since they're just drawings anyway and can look like whatever you want. High school gives that youthful childlike sexual appeal, which working-age women lack. There's a reason why school uniform porn is so popular.
>>
>>15870609
I definitely intend to. I liked their first two games quite a bit.
>>
>>15870597
The same could roughly be said of high school - cliques were a thing then too. This is fiction after all.
>>15870624
>childlike sexual appeal
May want to rethink that description my friend.
>>
>>15870652
>May want to rethink that description my friend.
Not him, but why?
>>
>>15870663
I mean, think it through.
Childlike. Sex appeal.
Not to mention, in the first place, high schoolers (of age 18) are hardly "children". They're practically adults wearing seifuku.
>>
>>15870673
>I mean, think it through.
>Childlike. Sex appeal.
I'm still not seeing the problem.

>Not to mention, in the first place, high schoolers (of age 18) are hardly "children". They're practically adults wearing seifuku.
Eh, there's still a certain immaturity that high schoolers who haven't spent time working in the real world have.
>>
>>15870673
>>15870685
I'm pretty sure that anon meant that they have physical sex appeal, but also lack the mental maturity of a real working adult
>>
>>15870685
High school drama? yeah man I love that too.
>>
>>15870673
Really? From a mental point of view high schoolers in eroge are usually more among the lines of middle schoolers.
>>
>>15870673
>Not to mention, in the first place, high schoolers (of age 18) are hardly "children". They're practically adults wearing seifuku.
You're not really human until you've gone to college.
>>
>>15870685
I mean, not to be rude, but are you being obtuse? Children are not seen as sexy by the majority of people.
>Eh, there's still a certain immaturity that high schoolers who haven't spent time working in the real world have.
As mentioned, high schoolers do have jobs. 18 year olds by and large are just as mature as 19, 20, 21 etc year olds. High schoolers who are as mature as middle schoolers ( >>15870697 ) and who have a "certain immaturity" are generally products of the eroge fantasy, not something particularly real.
>>
>>15870697
Well it's more like the kouhai characters are like middle schoolers and the senpai characters are MATURE ADULTS

a single year makes a huge difference apparently
>>
>>15870700
Innocent teenagers though are seen as sexy by quite a lot of people.
>>
>>15870715
>teenagers
>innocent
They're a product of fantasy and two-faced girls looking for a sugar daddy.
>>
I think we mix fantasy and reality too much here.
I don't even understand are we talking about real world or eroge now.

how far suspension of disbelief can go.

I want to look up some bad eroge seiyuu but I don't know how. It is easy to find good ones.

I remember 4 years ago finding an absolute gem. I don't remember all the details and I might be wrong on a few. The character she was voicing had black hair and was supposed to be shy and a bit refined, the setting was a rural but seaside town. It was so bad and I hate myself for never bookmarking it. I should have just bought the game or at least downloaded it.

>>
>>15872543
Except the writer.
>>
>>15872495
Senren Banka's biggest problem is the routes.
Some of the heroines feel like as soon as you enter their routes their personality takes a 180 compared to the common route to facilitate the drama the writer had in mind as well as said drama just not being very good.
The pacing and flow was also poor, like Yoshino's route dragging on forever when Yoshino just wasn't very interesting.
Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the game and don't regret buying it but like the past couple of Yuzusoft titles the routes have been mostly passable rather than good.

It sold a metric crapton of units.

Like the other anons said, naive customers got roped into buying a spiritual successor (and it was exactly advertised as such) to few widely loved games.

I looked this up cause that guy seemed to want it a lot. Story summary initially makes it look a suspense mystery/伝奇もの, but EGS shows it's a NTR nukige.

Wait, what happened with the art. I mean I guess art was never good in the series, but... I can't help but think a switch from loli to cowgirls in a series is kinda weird. Though the switch to loli was also.. weird. (Maybe happened because winter girls best girls in spring?)

That said, I doubt it'll happen. They'll probably delay it till fall in some weird meta way.

I believe there is an implicit assumption that everyone pirates before they buys, indeed, that buying a game is a "gift" to the developer for producing a good game, rather than something one must do to play the game in the first place.

Got Lamune since it's free on DMM right now. Is it just me or is it bad? I checked EGS and it seems that the consensus is that it's one of those "chill" games wherein nothing happens. Guess it's not for me, but I cant' tell if it's a bad game itself.

If "nothing happening" is bad for you, it is bad yes. I mean, like its predecessor it came out of someone trying to write precisely a game where nothing happens, and by that I don't mean "gimmicky amusingly written nichijou", but really just "plain and boring nichijou" with some rare good bits. And for good or worse it does that successfully.

Well, it's deeply related to /jp/ if you know what I mean though.

Sort of curious as to why you think this. Currently in my 4th and final year at university, and I would consider myself very similar as a person to what I was in junior and senior year of high school. I look back at myself as I was back in freshmen and sophomore year of high school and realize I was an immature kid then, but I would definitely have considered myself and the vast majority of my peers adults by senior year. I wouldn't say any of my friends now are more adultlike then my friends were back then.
>>
>>15874671
That's not really that easy. Almost all sales are indeed during first three days and by preorders.
Preorder tokutens for example are made exactly to motivate preorder sales.
Brand reputation and previous game have an obvious effect on how likely people are to preorder new game.

But would people preorder a somehow unappealing game? Would they preorder a game with uninteresting trial or characters out of strike zone? Nope, that's not the case and those things are faults of the latter game.

There are also factors of advertisement, opening video appeal, tokuten appeal and a lot more things which affect preorders and sales.

Japan usually use some sort of recirculating heater for bathtub and those take time to heat bathtub to desired temperature. I'm not sure though.

Well, Harukuru had a variety of different biological makeups to provide genetic variation in the new civilization's genepool.
And Natsuyuru had the new evolved species with slow physical development to incite feelings of empathy in humans as a protection mechanism.
So I think it's safe to assume Akikuru will also have some biological/evolutionary based justification for 巨乳. Any guesses as to what it might be?

I'm still fairly early, only in chapter 2.

Anyway, the beginning, the part you could read in the trial, can feel little too stuffed with worldbuilding. But I guess that can't be helped.

Finished Material Brave (100%). I heard the story was supposed to be ass, but I didn't expect it to be THAT ass after the first good chapter being rather enjoyable. Kanae was quite a bro and a nice main-heroine. Or so I thought. Then I got team rocket in a serious setting and after that it got even worse, all the while the same terribly written harem crap happens over and over again and the author(s) try their very best to make the heroines seem like shit. Didn't quite succeed though, outside of the shitty tits-character, who was only there because of her tits. (fittingly her ending cg is also the only one showing naked tits..) Oh also Kanae the main-heroine? Well, about that...

That said, gameplay was really fun, just lacking endgame. When optional quests make you fight the strongest enemies in the game 5 chapters before the end, you know the balancing is.. weird. Strange choice.
Characters are all rather different, but there are clearly better and worse ones. Kanae is pretty much crap-tier, especially against flying enemies, while Erika is a god. Both were fun to play though. I mostly ignored the other girls, as only characters you use level, which makes using more than ~3 pretty silly.


Fun facts:
-The loli has by far the most CG while she also has the least amount of screen-time. (17cg, the others have on average 12)
-Muting Tits in the options actually mutes the loli and vice-versa. Even after 14 or so updates of the game nobody ever realized that.. or it's supposed to be a silly joke.

Either keep an eye on Amiami and see if they get more in stock, or use a cheap forwarder with Amazon or Toranoana or some other retailer that has it in stock and will accept your gaijin bux.

Just started Sen no Hatou and I'm already cringing. Not a good sign. Aiyoku no Eustia was cheesy but I don't recall straight-up cringing that often.

Well, at least my hopes have been dashed early. This way, things can improve and I can still be pleasantly surprised! Fast and sudden disappointment is preferable to a long, drawn out "wait a minute... this is bad?".

What the actual fuck? This is making me laugh out loud with how bad it is, not feel anything. This is just bad. This is plain bad. I can't believe what I'm witnessing. This has got to the be the writers lashing out saying "is this is infantile garbage you all wanted? you didn't like Aiyoku, as tame as it was? then take this, fuckfaces". God damn

I just noticed I almost never see testicles in my CG which would explain why no one needs a condom. The more you know.

No one needs condoms because heroines hate menstruation pains and take pills to calm them down.

Haven't started the game yet, but mind enlightening me what is so offensive about these screenshots? Sure it doesn't seem like Shakespeare or anything, and the writing seems a tad simplistic based on this 5 or so line sample size, but I'm perplexed as to what about this is offending you so terribly.

It's probably too chuuni for him.
He might have expected something more serious?

1) Bad guy literally has half his face burned off and an evil red eye
2) Bad guy has flames surrounding him with ominous shadows covering his figure
3) Superman hero does a quadruple backflip in the air after his PRINCESS demands it to land in the midst of a horde of 100 evil republican soldiers (note: he also kills all 100 of the republic soldiers singlehandedly, thanks to JUSTICE being on his side! wow, Japanese - I mean, imperial soldiers are so great and heroic! not even evil republican guns could stand up to his sword and spirit)


In short, the story is black and white, simplistic, with infantile story telling and characters. I've read more since posting those and it doesn't' get better. It's not the prose or anything, August always has this kind of writing. It's just how childish the story is. This is something for teenagers to read. It's the kind of setup you would find in a child's Saturday morning cartoon with characters to fit. There's no subtlety or depth.

There was a lot of talk of whether Senmomo would be as "grim" as Aiyoku or as "moe" as Daitoshokan. I'm not concerned about either of that, both grim and moe are fine with me. What I am concerned about is how plain simplistic and childish the story is from the beginning. I don't find it "offensive" but it's certainly a shocking step down from their latest games which both had some grace and depth to them. Maybe I'm being too harsh. But I had hopes for this game, so having them trampled this hard so fast is making me bitter.
>>15879600
I have no problem with Chuuni and one problem with this game is that it is being so serious about its black and white world it's awkward to read.
>>
>>15879620
And that's different from Eustia how, exactly?

>>15879620
>infantile games

Yeah I also happen to notice this kind of trend in VNs recently...Is otakudom in Japan finally denegerating itself to doom?
>>
>>15879620
This is just from the trial right? The story moved super fast in the trial, so it seemed like they were just trying to set up for either the "real" story or for moe antics in the setting or something. I don't really know since I haven't read further yet.
>>
>>15879628
Like I said, subtly and grace. I won't claim Aiyoku was mature and well-written throughout. There was a lot of childish events, such as the superhuman drug which made the antagonist of the first section a comically demon looking individual, but in general there was some grace to the events and subtly. For example, it would be a rough approximation to say that "good" side of Aiyoku was Rougoku and the "bad" side was the royalty and priests all that... but they're never portrayed like that. It's made very clear from the very beginning that Rougoku is a fucked up place with fucked up people, and it's hinted somewhat strongly through "other view" scenes that the royalty and priests have good people in addition to lurking corruption, so the core setting of the game isn't that of good vs evil but that of individuals striving to attain their goals and/or act upon their ideals despite all the odds stacked against them. There are indeed a lot of childish developments in Aiyoku, but the setting itself has grace and some subtlety to it.

On the other hand, Senmomo is having none of that. Red eye dude? Power hungry, betrayed his city to the republic for personal gain and is fucking murdering anyone who opposes him. MC and the empire/resistance? Big damn heroes, fellows of peace who fight with swords. Republic? Expanding their borders with aggressive warfare and fight with guns. Enough said.. Now, as >>15879643 states, this could all be a set up for a greater story of greater proportions. I do not deny this. However, the beginning leaves little hope for that given how ham-fisted and childish it is. I really see no benefit for the narrative from starting out so poorly. To be more clear, because I made the mistake of not being super clear, the beginning is childish and infantile and so on. I have not yet read the whole game.
>>
>>15879620
I agree with how everything screams "This character is the bad guy".
Same with the republican governor or whatever his name was, with his evil goatee.
>>15879628
Eustia's protagonist was at least believable as far as his abilities went.
And the antagonists in Eustia were not (most of the time) recognized at a single glance as obviously evil.
And the morality in Eustia was ambiguous. It was hard to say what was the right thing.

But I think trying to compare this Eustia will only lead to disappointment when it ends up being something different. The themes they are going for here are obviously not as complex as the ones in Eustia.

But I liked the demo. I'm not going to read this VN for the complex story, that's for sure, but I still think I can enjoy it. I hope so.
>>
>>15879620
Thanks I really appreciate the well thought out reply. I'll give August the benefit of the doubt until I play through it fully, since I think they've earned that. Hope it improves later on.

You didn't read the trial?

Clearly there's something else going on and this guy is just a midboss at best.
>>
>>15879691
I'm glad you're going to read the game. I hope my post doesn't turn anyone away, because these are just opening impressions. I'll try to keep my mouth shut henceforth until I finish. I'll be sure to come back and set the record straight if turns out well.
>>15879698
I don't like going through trials too much. If there's no late-game revelation that really sheds some light on him, then even as a midboss his existence is disappointing.
>>
>>15879705
>I don't like going through trials too much.
You could have. The trial assured me about some things I was wary about, like the school setting.
>>
>>15879705
Well I've been looking forward to this release for months, so a couple disappointed comments on release day won't stop me from playing it now. The things you've detailed in your other posts do seem to be a bummer, but as far as I'm concerned, that's probably like 5-10% into the game at most, so I'll be optimistic and think that there's a decent chance it gets turned around.
>>
>>15879712
Assured in a bad or good way?
I'm not fond of trials because I don't like being forced to stop is all. I'd rather wait to start than to be forced to stop early. Wouldn't make a difference to my impressions except I would've posted them earlier.
>>
>>15879715
Good. The school is barely in there and when it is, it at least has a purpose. I guess that could change in the full game, but I have to wait for the download to finish and see.

Now peak cute Hotori-chan being an idol to fund her operation is just implausible and I doubt they'll make it good and meaningful. Honestly I hope they'll just use it as fetish fuel for H scenes and not at all in the serious parts of the story.

I am close to forgiving all the sins of its poor story because the girls are just so friggin moe. If I look at it like a moege, it becomes truly exceptional.

>>15879901
The quality of essentially everything aside from the story up to here is so great that I know I'll thoroughly enjoy the game even if the story ends up mediocre in the end. But I'm not far at all so I still have confidence it will be at least decent.
>>
>>15879909
>But I'm not far at all
What I'm wondering now is if it has an extended route structure like Aiyoku (doubtful) or if it's just a normal route system. I find it kind of hard to imagine this game going on for forty hours in a single linear path.
>>
>>15879920
Yeah I'm interested to see how they do it. I won't have much time to read over the next few days so I'll probably have to wait until people (who actually read it) finish and give the rundown.

Republican: Upon what basis did Empire derive their right to rule their people?
Imperial Princess: God gifted this kingdom to us long ago.
Republican: It is quite common for rulers to forge false myths to justify their rule to the ignorant public. It could be seen as a form of brain washing, in fact.
Imperial Princess: W-Well, the republic is dumb and you're dumb!

Thanks for the meaningful dialogue august-sama

The sad part is that probably god gifted their country to them and they're fully justified to rule them NIPPON BANZAI.

My pet theory is that the "God" is actually Eustia from Aiyoku. Also, the existence of the "God" is practically confirmed by the healing magic which actually works so yeah.

Thank you Hotori for your intelligent response
I am glad all these Imperial characters are intelligent and are capable of engaging in open discussion of government.

>>15880279
Elza is fun, she's literally the only heroine badmouth them.
>>
>>15880283
Elza is quickly becoming my favourite heroine when it comes to dialogue. I find it confusing that the august writers are having Hotori and Akari be absolutely dominated by her with no real counter argument except to insult her or threaten violence. I can only imagine that the writers know if they had Hotori and Akari seriously responded to Elza's points they'd be forced to admit that monarchy is not a morally or rationally defensible form of government, so instead they just kneejerk without thinking. I am not a fan of this. I enjoyed the back and forth Caim had with heroines, even if in the end he was usually right and it descended into a lecture. At least people listened to him and both characters thought about what the other said. These conversations are reminding me of the Hemingway short story "Hills Like White Elephants".

Well, honestly, that's far too heavy of a subject for me to go into with just a /jp/ post. There's literally volumes of essays dedicated to the subject. So, to focus, I'll address Elza's point: That a monarchy has no basis upon which it justifies its rule except either military might, bloodline, myth (see: divine right of kings), etc. This is indeed true. So:
Morally, it's indefensible because it gives a certain family who are simply normal people (see pic) near unlimited power (in classic monarchies, esp pre magna carter) over the people for no reason other than bloodline and tradition. There's no morality to that. It has no roots in merit, no roots in serving the people, nothing. The government exists merely to support the royal family and to execute its desires. For an example of this, note Richard the Second of England (also known as Richard the Lionheart) brutally taxing his people to fund the wars which he desired to partake in. He is quoted as saying that his citizens exist to support him and nothing more. There is simply no morality in that. "Right" and "wrong" are defined by the whims of the royal family.
Rationally, it's indefensible because the ruler is selected purely by bloodline. It doesn't matter who's most fit to be ruler, it doesn't matter if the next in line is a deformed incest-monster, what matters is blood. It makes no sense. It's not good for the country or the people. The list of cruel or incompetent rulers given power simply by being born to the right parents is innumerable. It's essentially deciding leaders with rolls of the dice. Indefensibly poor.

Nothing is perfect. Just like elections can be crappy with choices that all are questionable, royal leaders can also be crap.

However, it can also be just fine. A distinctive leader passing on their knowledge and experience to their heir, preparing them from early on for this role they'll have. It's not exactly a great role to be born in, with all the expectations and getting forced into it. Still, in theory it can lead to a good leading figure, a much better one than your average guy you could hope to "elect".

You can even attribute some more advantages: Responsibility. In a monarchy the leader is responsible, no questions asked. But what about for example in a democracy again? They get elected. So it's not really "their" fault for fucking up, given that people could've just not voted for them, right? Also in a few years it's gonna be over already anyway, so who REALLY cares about what's up in say 50 years.
You may think differently if you have a son or grandchild you know will be leading your people in 50 years. In fact, the lack of "responsibility" is probably one of the bigger issues you have with democracy. No matter what way you go, you will have a chance for things to turn to crap.


As such everything has potential to get abused and fail. That's usually when pitchforks come into play. Democracy is simply a tool that allows things to happen with a bit less blood and violence, but it does have its price. It's short-term which also leads to a lack of real responsibility. While a monarchy has in theory all the responsibility, but it makes it rather easy to abuse the power and authority given.
As always: It's people who make the system, and as such it'll always be flawed, just like people are in general. You can't get around that.
