It's been too long so I don't remember the details that well, especially on her path. Either way, it's a pretty short game so it's worth picking up.

Why is the discord so much better than /vn/?

I installed Shiny Days and the patches including restore patch, yet when I go through the Manami route it still corrupts my save making the game unplayable, is this still not fixed?

>>143594852

>>143595234
I think those who are against H/moe just haven't realized the duality of human nature, which is reasonable for those enraptured by literature. When one has an experience as powerful as some VNs can provide, their eyes sparkle and their mind is consumed by the idea that THIS is it, THIS experience is the peak of the human existence, THIS is why I live THIS is why I read THIS is it! That's very all-consuming. I think we've all felt it. It's powerful.

The problem is just that some people aren't ready for it, and it blinds them to human duality. They think that sex and beauty can't coexist. There are blinding peaks of beauty atop the mount of literary VNs, and yes, sex seems base and barbaric in comparison. It seems ridiculous that they coexist, that they do coexist. However, in truth, they go hand in hand, no matter how ridiculous it seems. Someone who spends hours fapping to huge-titted naked ladies in moege is no less enlightened than one who spends spends hours poring over the philosophical implications of X scene in Y novel.

Indeed, they are often the same person. Look no further than James Joyce writing erotic fart letters to his wife in between chapters of Ulysses and Finnegan's Wake. Sex and beauty coexist in the mind of a human, in the human experience. There is nothing contradictory about fapping and contemplating the divine. There is no need to consider yourself about sex. That's as silly as considering yourself above eating, or sleeping. It's a fundamental aspect of humanity, much as what's described in literature is.

In short, it can be tempting to belittle sex upon undergoing a profound experience while reading a VN. It can be tempting to consider it the outlet of a fool. But in truth, sex is important. It's a part of humanity. It peacefully coexists with beauty and profundity. You are no less a scholar for vigorously fapping to cowtits than you are for sleeping 8 hours a day and eating dead animal flesh. Fap on, bros.

To be honest the kind of love expressed in visual novels doesn't exist in reality. In the games, love is real. The author wills a world into reality wherein love and honest affection is real. In its attempt to be real, it surpasses the original, and indeed BECOMES the original. The original, in our world, is in fact the sham. We wrote poetry to represent the love we felt. We read the poetry and created in ideal love. But, in reality, there is nothing but chemicals and dopamine. True love is not real. It's an idealized emotion no one will ever feel. However, VNs are different. The girls in VNs truly love you, for it exists in their reality. There is no need to worry about finding an equivalent in real life. It doesn't exist. No one will love you in real life, because love doesn't exist. It's time to grow wings and fly into the arms of anime girls, the only beings who will ever truly hold love for you.

It's ok. It has the most touching ending, but jesus some of the drama was awful.
Beginning of her route starts out good.
Middle has shitty drama.
Ending is decent.

The mommy/daddy issues were turned up to 11 in her route and since I did hers last I was really starting to get tired of it.
Also her H cg were surprisingly mediocre. They recycled Rise's hot shower scene albeit at a worse angle.

Good girl. Ok route.

some people a few days ago were complaining about non-looped music that made you wait several seconds before the track restarted

do you guys require looped music or don't mind tracks hitting an end as long as they restart within a second?

It's from the studio that made Atom Grrrl.

>>143604186
Optimal are songs so long they last the entire scene without either looping or ending.

>>143604186
if it has a nice start and finish then a non seamless loop is fine. But in that case the particular song has to be lengthy so that it doesn't repeat too much in one scene.

When people think a game is good, they'll read it and unconsciously interpret it as good even if it is in fact bad. That's just the mindset they'll have. All the people reading root double are misled to believe it's a good popular game but in reality it only sold 6,599 copies, is virtually unknown, and is in fact no kamige at all.

Only gameplay VN that I liked as much as Kamidori is Duel Savior but they are also very different from each other. Let's just hope that the Ikusa Megami series get translated some day.

And what is eiyuu senki because it looks like a rance game but its not alicesoft?

>>143625480
it is literally a worse Rance with better production values and a delicious VA cast.

it's alright. not very challenging and the story is hot garbage but the characters are entertaining enough except for the Protagonist who is a huge brick

>>143625480
It's a Sengoku Rance knock off. It's a vanilla watered down version. It's not too bad though.

>>143625749
Better production in gameplay or art style?

>>143626391
The gameplay is pretty much worse in every way.

>>143624986
Game or story? Kamidori's story is laughably bad and the characters are awful, but as far as gameplay goes, I dunno, stuff like Sengoku Rance is pretty good? Below that quality drops off pretty quickly, like with Yumina or Big Bang Age actually somehow being better than most.

>>143626391
well, the gameplay is more or less the same as Sengoku Rance, but there is less depth to it. you can take it at your own pace, it isn't like SR where if you take too long to take certain territories you'll miss key events/characters/etc.

there also isn't anything like capturing the Takeda Generals or other specific stuff.

everything else though has some pretty nice production values. everything is very pretty. music is nice. UI elements are nice. voice actors as I already stated are amazing.

boy, that protagonist though. i really found him irritating.

You don't enter a route until about chapter eight. Just keeping going. Also, energy leak and ice arrow also work as banish spells, so you don't need to rely exclusively on ice banish. It just costs less combat mana.

>>143627417
Yeah I know, I just thought I don't get Ice Banish II skill is because I choose Satsuki for every choices I got.
Energy leak doesn't work when fighting Belbazerd. Can Ice Arrow work against Belbazed's attack? Well let's try it, I guess.

>>143627878
You often can't block a boss' skills. To figure out if a banish skill will work check the skill's target skill level and the skill level of what you're trying to block. Energy Leak and Ice Banish 2 both target level five and below skills iirc so I don't think you're going to be able to do anything.

It might be a more efficient use of your time to focus on having a strong force and material attacker so you can always hit his weakness. Support can just be a healer or spare tank or something.

>>143628325
Thanks for the info, lad.

>>143628653
well note for a good route to do is either satsuki or nozimi route for there skills.

one is a group over 70 precent hp heal and other is a banish skill that seems to ingore the can't banish text.

Grisaia feels like a grind. Would not finishing a vn be against /vn/ morality?

>>143629315

The common route in Grisaia is 7/10 while the character routes in Grisaia are 4/10. The drama in Grisaia is genuinely fucking bad. I guess Amane's flashback is okay, that's about it. Michiru's route in particular is probably a 2/10, it feels like a really shitty non-Maeda route in a Key game

>>143627878

Actually, disregard that. According to the wiki, there were two enemies in chapter 3 who carry artifacts that give Thalia Ice Banish II. If you did kill everyone like you said, you must have used the artifacts on someone other than Thalia.

It's the equivalent of a 10/10 kamige, so Japanese people are literally learning English just to play it

>>143637965
Mangagamer does well for itself.

I'm pretty sure Fata didn't sell well simply because it appeals to a smaller audience. Didn't PE sell a shitton?

I'm sure if MG is ever about to go in the red they just need to pick up a moege and watch it print money.

>>143638039
I don't disagree with you but that's not a VN

>>143638101
the problem is, moege cost the most money to license since they're what actually sell in japan
mangagamer is licensing hipster plotge only because they're the cheapest to get

>>143638101
Didn't Tokyo Babel sell bad aswell? Logically, MG's lineup should shift more towards moege and away from those >>143637739.

>>143638184
They could probably pick up a lesser moege. It doesn't have to be something by Favorite for it to be eaten up.

I don't know how well known PE is over in Japan, but I literally hadn't heard of it until MG picked it up.

>>143638203
I heard Tokyo sold OK but nothing special? I might wrong about that though.

All of those titles mentioned in >>143637739
are huge memes even in the english community so I'm sure if they managed to license those at a decent price they would probably see relatively good returns on it. That is just me assuming, though.

Well, it took 5 years, but finally there's something with a better OST than Umineko.

Some 5 hours of tracks across 4 discs and they're all fantastic. Giselle is my favourite though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtzxiSpkcHY

Plus the VN itself is one of the best I've read in a long time. There's a lot of superficial similarities it shares with Umineko, but the biggest difference is it's not shit like Umineko was.

>>143638203
I'm fine with moege as long as it is humorous and relatively light hearted -- drama is ok so long as it isn't overly drawn-out. Or stupid.

I got really tired of Hoshimemo's shit pretty quickly despite liking the all of characters. I just couldn't buy into most of the melodrama. It just felt like a huge waste of my time, doubly so because that time wasted on the petty drama could have been spent doing actually enjoyable things with the characters. Conflict is important of course, but one of the biggest problems I felt with the VN is that it almost never felt organic or natural. Or relatable, for that matter (the only one I could relate to was Aoi's self imposed isolation)

Also;
>confession scene
>ok, let's fuck now on the public beach for your first time, that cool?

Some of the H scenes literally felt tacked on. Like the writer just wanted to get them over with and didn't care about the pacing or context surrounding them. It was saved by the art and some of the good voice acting at least, but still.

>>143639012
Whoops, didn't mean to quote.

>>143639012
That is some delicious music. Surpassing Umineko's OST is high praise.

>>143639027
That's one of the things I liked about PE. That had some stupid drama as well, but the relationship part was actually good. There was build up to the H and the relationships themselves that actually felt natural, or as natural as you can get in a vn anyway.

No.

What's really important to consider if whether you want to keep reading VNs. If you don't learn Japanese you'll run out of interesting / good ones pretty soon, and will have to stop. If you're fine with dropping the medium (or shitposting on /vn/ while waiting for new releases) then not learning Japanese is not a big deal, but if you want to stay and really get into VNs you really should consider learning jp.

Why does stamina drain so fast now i didnt notice this before do I need an item

>>143655236
I don't really remember my stamina draining that fast when I last played, in long stages it usually ran out when I was close to one of those heal stones. Maybe you need to upgrade your armor.

It also varies between characters. I think Sharty is one of the characters with the lowest stamina.

>>143655478
Who the fuck uses Sharty anyways?

>>143655630
I did because I needed to level her up for the sidequests, one of them gives you a reward I wanted, can't remember what it was though. She's also useful because she's one of the first characters you get that can fly.

The only one that was neat in that scenario was Kosome.

What map are you on?

I've recently reread the best routes IE: Asuho, Kosame and Komomo.

It was just as good as the 1st time around. The music sets up the atmosphere and enhances the sentiment for a lot of the scenes, the whole world presented is very chill and relaxing. The characters are quite enjoyable aside Aoi who is shit tier troughout.

Even Chinami, annoying she may be, she has that little annoying sister feel to her that makes her gags fairly humorous.

Main annoyance is the overused jokes and gags, but I guess they didn't bother me since I spent a considerable time going trough the VN again.

Dunno if I can trust a moebuta.

Any plotge patricians around?

>>143656160
t. cancerous moege memer

>>143656213
Fuck off, I told you my thoughts on it.

If you dont like moe ,why the fuck are you keen on being persuaded on reading a moege?

>>143656213
DEFINITELY not worth reading from a plot perspective. It moves at a snail's pace, dodges around anything actually happening, and is overall an exceedingly dull experience for anyone not enraptured by the thick moe.

you two should meet up and fuck.

Aren't we supposed to be posting smiles?

did the anime adaption of steins gate miss anything important that i will need to know before reading steins gate 0 when it comes out?

>>143656272
You don't need to be mad moebuta. I considered your opinion, but it's only 1/10 as much worth as the one of a plotge patrician so I'd rather take those.

>>143656357
Thanks dude, dodged a bullet here.

>>143656392
SG0 isnt even in english yet you shithead. And no I'm not saying that means you can't read it, I'm saying this thread of EOPs won't know either way.

Don't be silly, its a *fun"bag".

Do you need to play da capo in order? I heard they all kind of combine together but have nothing to do with each other at the same time.

>>143657305
You should play them in order but there is no need to do so if you simply don't want to. I personally liked the first game and the fandisk more than DC2.

>>143657472
How important are the Ero scenes to the story?

>>143657305
Except Nemu, Sakura and Kotori routes the rest of them are unrelated. And if you want to play the full common route (from DCPC) then play Kotori Love.

>>143657645
As a rule of thumb Ero scenes are never important, ever.

>>143657305
Just play 2 and 3. 1 is bad
