YU-NO: The Girl who Chants Love at the Edge of the World

Great game, very unique. I would usually never suggest reading a HG101 article but the one on YU-NO is excellent and very well-researched. The main director's aspirations were just insane, especially that he tried to squeeze them all into the VN framework.

>Is there anyone who could do a blind-commentary/blind-let's play of it online? There has yet to be anyone who did.

Well it IS a still a eroge, unless they're uploading it to Pornhub it's not really gonna work. The remake looks like ass, frankly. 90s VN aesthetics are comfy as fuck, YU-NO's music especially is something else. Character design is probably the original's weakest point and the remake manages to do worse and make everyone completely generic. Not really sure who it's aimed at or what it's purpose is, to be honest.

The eroge parts could be censored easily from how rare it is. And I agree, the remake sort of butchered the character designs, which is why I'd probably usher my friend towards this one rather than the new.

This is mostly where you can download it I believe:

But I got it from a different site that had it all ready set for Windows a while back, here it is:

>>3294782
It was rather nice that they included the support for running all the enhancements with the original Japanese text intact.

>>3294782
OP: Actually, nevermind that first link, I think that's mainly just the single translation work from the team.

> The marriage of Kanno's visionary way of storytelling and Umemoto's incredible melodic range would soon revolutionize visual novels with a trifecta of works: Desire, Xenon and Eve burst error. Kanno wanted to break all the molds of visual novels, and under his lead which increased by each game released, the game engines were extensively scripted and programmed.

Should i play those games before Yu-No ?

>>3294829
Not really since the stories are all different for each game they made, they really were great devs as a duo.

>>3294829
>>3294832
I mean you can play them if you want but it's not mandatory to understand YU-NO's plot since the stories are unrelated.

>>3294505
I hear the person who wrote the article on HG101 about this game was a good friend of the composer, but I could be wrong.

>>3294842

I remember hearing something like that, either the composer or director. Either way it has an unusual amount of insight by that site's usual standards.

>>3294829
What >>3294835 said, but in addition...

Xenon isn't available in English.
Desire has two protagonists path, and you need to complete both to get the true ending, but the female path is fucking retarded It's a random NTR plot when the male route is Mystery-ish

Eve Burst Error has dual protagonists also but luckily they learned their lesson and the female route is actually good now. Translation is a bit dated though. It has some sequels, only one of which was ever translated to English and ended in a cliffhanger but from what I heard, Japan doesn't really care about the sequels much.

I'm downloading it now OP. It better be bueno.

The game was also way ahead of its time. It was the first of its kind to use a time flowchart that separates into different timelines which has a map of its own.

>>3297561
Does it have any implication in the game? From what i have read, the game is not too different than any other hentai vn.

The game's main focus is the story, but occasionally there is some fan-service (a slight panty-shot during a pivotal moment for example) and hours later into the game there are also short make-out scenes that lasts a few minutes long to read but can easily be skipped by holding CTRL. Luckily there is no voice acting during those moments, haha.

I mean, if you really break down the narrative it's such a run of the mill mystery story, but somehow the VN / Adventure Game format manages to really present it in such a compelling way.

I tried really hard to unpack how it's such an engrossing experience, but I can't really put my finger on it.

Of course the music and pixel art is unbelievably stellar so obviously that helps.

Epilogue is still a mess though.

>>3297582
You can set bookmarks on the map and move back to them. It's like saving except you keep your inventory for better or worst.
It allows you to scout ahead during decisions and instead of cheating it's a natural part of a time travel game.

One question, is the translation only for the windows version? It is possible to play the original one in english?

>>3297652
Yeah, only windows. Why would you want to? There's nothing wrong with it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K_JiiGx0K8

>>3297664
The only real problem with the windows version is the lack of full screen options, particularly resolutions and filtering modes, which an emulator would solve.
But alas, beggars can't be choosers, it's still an excellent patch.

>>3297668
I still don't understand why the remake just doesn't use the saturn audio, it's a pretty good reimagining of the original FM Synth.

And obviously the FM Synth is still the best version, but that I'm not surprised why they don't want to use it.

>>3297669
There actually was a full screen version on my end when I played it, maybe it depends on which version?

>>3297672
They probably kept the original soundtrack because Chiptunes <3 and we get to hear Umemoto's original work.

>>3297674
Oh that's not what I'm saying, it has full screen, I'm saying the full screen mode is very limited. It forces you to use a 4:3 resolution I believe (can't remember the actual resolution) and you're forced to correct the aspect ratio in your monitor or GPU options, either way you're getting black bars. And then the upscaling mode is bilinear which is kinda ugly in my eyes.

>>3297676
I'm talking about the mess of the new 2016 remake they're doing. They didn't keep the original ryu umemoto fm synth audio, it's being remade by some other dude.

Still the few tracks that they put up are pretty good, but it just feels unnecessary, the saturn audio already sounds "modern".

>>3297678
Use a CRT.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poy_RwxIbf4

>>3297681
I treat VNs like a book, I just play them on my laptop lying in my bed. CRT is not really an option for me.

Either way it's not a dealbreaker, just saying if I had to point out a flaw in the excellent fan patch that would be it.

>>3297664
These games are perfect to be emulated on a tablet.

Well, i have started playing this. Still on the epilogue (I just went to the beach). I probably keep playing the game, but i must say it is quite slow. I'm not used to VN, i thought dialogues would not take virtually 90 of the game (I'm more used to Snatchers/Policenauts and other point and clicks games). What do you think of this, is all the game like this? Also i have to say, you lose a lot of motivaton to play the game if you have masturbated already.

>>3298047
It's just long, keep going.

>>3298047
By epilogue, did you mean prologue? It takes about an hour or two before you'll be able to use Jewels on the map, which will let you time travel back and forth between previously visited timelines.

>>3298047
The prologue is on rails, when you're done with it the game starts and it becomes a point and click.

>>3297680
>some other dude
Keishi Yonao, a contemporary of Umemoto. He mainly does VN work these days to pay the bills, but his FM-synth chops have held up. It's fine so long as you can use the PC-98 YM2608 music instead, though I appreciate having a new version of YU-NO's soundtrack.

How do I play this as a macfag?
I really wanna read this now.

>>3297614

Yeah, you know, when you're trying to describe the story of this kind of game, it always sounds so schlocky, but the combination of music, visuals, pacing, the varied routes, and the way everything comes together in the finale is really hard to beat.

>>3297678
>It forces you to use a 4:3 resolution I believe (can't remember the actual resolution)
Since PC-98 uses 640x400 it's probably letterboxed to 640x480.

>>3294505
Well there is a full longplay of the game already on youtube, with all the scenes there, nipples and all the terrible unchristian things that go along with it.

>>3299285
The voice acting is the second best thing next to the story, so it'd be kind of a shame to lose it, but at least it could make it work if you can't run the windows version.

>>3299515

I always forget that youtube's gotten a bit more lenient with this stuff in games now, stuff like Heavy Rain has sex scenes and shower scenes yet has loads of Let's Plays that stay online. Artistic intention and all that I suppose.

>>3297678
Could try to use program called Sizer. Does proper nearest neighbor resolution resizing.

>>3300148
There are only a few times where you need a specific item from a room and in those cases you are normally prevented from leaving. Generally walking around is enough to advance.

I tried playing this recently based on a recommendation from /vr/, but I couldn't stand all the creeping the main character does on his stepmom (and other characters). I got really impatient and quit before I finished the prologue.

>>3300458
Your complaint is so insignificant I don't know what to say.

>>3300484
It's a visual novel with too much gratuitous filler. I think it's a valid complaint.

>>3300509
Except thats not at all what the guy was saying. How would he know about the filler if he stopped playing it so soon?

>>3300532
lol I am that guy, I samefagged both of those posts.

Even in the prologue I thought there was a lot of pervy filler. Like in the very first scene on the roof I thought it was funny, but every time after that I got bored of it quickly. I was enjoying reading all the set-up about the construction on the beach, and the mountain shrine, but the filler made it really hard to enjoy.

>>3300552
Then you might as well just give up now, because you have 100x times more reading to do. You couldn't handle it.

>>3300552
Your complaints are insignificant because you're not aware of the bigger picture at all, since you haven't actually played the entire thing.

>>3300458
Stepmoms are not blood related, therefore it passes~

>>3300560
I mean, if it was 100x more reading of plot I would be fine with it. But the eroge stuff is boring if you're not playing it for that.

>>3300602
Oh, is it like a plot/theme thing and the pervy stuff was necessary? Okay, but it was still corny and long-winded.

>>3300668
Yes, but it's weird how he insists on referring to her as his mom. Even stepmom is weird, just call her by her name. Although maybe it's a translation/cultural thing?

>really want to play this
>ZTD comes out in about a week

That's a little off-topic, but damn.

Wait, this game has VA? I remember trying it a long time ago and it didn't. Was I playing a bad version of it or something?

>>3306057
The voice acting is intermittent, and I believe was introduced for a later release of the game.

I don't see that kind of thing as adding or detracting from a primarily text based game, though.

>>3306057
The original didn't have any voice acting, but there's a group who was nice enough to include the SEGA Saturn content into the original (the voices) and it makes it better tenfold because of the original dithering visuals~

On top of that, there's 8 Jewels to find in the original game whereas the remake has a few more, which makes the remake somewhat easier and less challenging by having more opportunities to travel under a set amount of Jewels.

>>3306359
>include the SEGA Saturn content into the original (the voices)
The Windows port, not the original PC98.
The patch also included an option to play with the PC98 music and removed censorship added by he Windows port.

>>3306415
Oh right, I guess they took PC98's gameplay and SEGA Saturn's voices, combined it and made it work for Windows. Probably the best version there is.

>>3301698

>Having to replay a huge part of the game just for a certain branch ...
It's fairly quick with CTR. You don't need to fill every blank, you mainly need all the stones.
I'm not sure if Mio's ending is required.

>>3307951
I never understood this fishnet fixation by a lot of men. It's a pretty turnoff compared to bare legs or just regular pantyhose or lingerie.

I mean I can understand if IRL you're wearing fishnet stockings it's a clear sign that you're a huge slut and you'll put out, so that implication can be turn on, but just the aesthetics alone are very tacky.

>>3307898
Dude you can skip dialogue with ctrl and blaze through a route in a breeze

>>3306415
>and removed censorship
Just to be clear for someone reading, he means it re-added the removed h-scenes, but the naughty willies are still censored.

>>3308191
How so? I press control and space and it just makes dialogue faster. Still it is a lot of work.

But i found the optimal way to dispose orbs. I have just to go along with the story, and when the end gets closer, put orbs on each divergence. In that way, i resolve divergences from closer to end to earlier.

>>3308186
I couldn't agree more. It's why I'm not too fond of the changes they're doing with the remake.

>>3308216
I found that out the hard way, but might want to always at least keep an orb/jewel in, since having at least one powers up the device, or else you'll have to cross your finger and hope to find another orb along a path you can't reverse time on.

Tighter-knit fishnet are nice, but the ones with huge holes suck.
Compare the following:
The left is a nice sort of mesh, which, under the effect of a soft light, creates a sort of sheen-type of reflection across the legs, especially from a certain angle. Not quite like pantyhose, but not too different either. It's arguably the closest I've seen to IRL dithering.
Now, the middle is the other extreme. Be it latex or nylon, the holes are far too big and spread apart to the point where the lighting-effect is lost and it just looks like someone was wearing actual closed stockings and had a moth eat through them.
The far right is something of an awkward in-between. Not quite as good as a mesh-style, but not quite as tacky as the wide-holes. As a result, it doesn't appeal to either audience all the way. However, depending on, ironically enough, the clothing worn on top of it, there can be a different sort of teasing, sensual effect present. Typically most notable when worn under a short winter fur-coat and skirt. Outside of that though, they tend to fall a bit flat.

That's just my opinion and observation. I ain't no fashionista or nothing. Just someone who has eyes that have seen things over the years.

>>3308591
Oh, one more thing.
Stockingtops, whether paired with garter belts or not, can really make a fishnet stocking (and hell, any stocking) a lot better or kinda be worthless.

Compare these three.
The left is somewhat standard, without being too plain (although the plain stockingtop has some merits as well), A nice design, and not too big, not too small. I haven't figured it out yet, but there seems to be a happy medium in terms of size.
The middle has a nice idea with the bow (almost being like a leg garter (garter ring?)), but shoddy execution with the stocking top itself. It's overly lace-filled and far too congested, killing the point of having a design in the first place. Size is decent, maybe close to that aforementioned medium, but I can't tell as well because of the congested nature of the beast.
The right however, is just tacky. Far too big, too ornate for its own good, and generally not very attractive.

As I noted before, a "garter ring" of sorts can also enhance the effect of fishnets, but it depends on what sort of style you might be going for. Eriko's are plain, but one small saving grace is that they aren't overly huge or stretched out. Given the rest of her ensemble with the corset and stomach opening though, the plainness clashes a bit, making it something of a let down to look at.

VIDEO GAMES

Also, the plain, steamed-on look of her panties in the right sucks. Even in the left while she's wearing pantyhose, there's still some slight creases to really indicate that they're being worn. The right is like they drew her naked and then just painted a white triangle on her.

The first exchange between the main character and the jerk from his mom's work always amused me to no end, I always went through it on every playthrough.

But anyway one thing I always wondered was who was calling the house?

>>3310562
The unknown caller and the decayed condition of the warehouse were the only two mysteries I've yet to have an answer to. I think they both have a reason, but if only the writer was still alive today to explain.

I'm not done with the game yet- I got one of Kanno's endings (Didn't have the blue card) and I got both of the, uh, mind-controlled teacher endings, but who the hell is the evil 'she' mentioned in the principal's journal? The nurse who I think might be from the future?

True, haha, and about the blue-card, the only thing I can tell you is that it's considered to be the last route. I'll say this: you might as well forget about getting the blue card until you finish a few more routes (it comes late-game), and it'll eventually come to you.

I long-since got past that point though, so I figure it's not super important to get, is it? Will I need to go through that entire route again to get it?

>>3311658
As someone who knows what this game is, I had no idea what Twine was until I looked it up just now. It looks rather simple.

>>3312205
Twine is basically a CYOA-making system. The kind of shitty tool that means that you don't need any programming skill to use, and thus everyone and their mother uses it for a bunch of shitty things.

>>3312198
When observing most of the details within the chamber for a little while longer, a hand of a third skeleton falls and appears, which will let you find the belongings of the corpse: the Laptop required to find out which number is which in the puzzle area.

You might try to get the laptop since it's crucial for another smaller puzzle way later in the game.

>>3312198
The laptop becomes a permanent item, it translates the numbers you need to know, but it's going to take forever to re-do the route just to get it, therefore it'll be best to look up online when you get to that other second puzzle instead for missing out on the item the first time, in my opinion.

>>3301698
Hm.

I suppose the new version looks nice enough. But there's something about the original version that still looks very good.

Fuuuck. I'm really bad at this type of especially non-straightforward VN, I'm gonna be putting a hundred hours in if I wanna see everything.

>>3312940
No worries, as soon as you get another Jewel, travelling through the map will be more flexible. Being stuck with one or two at the beginning really makes backtracking routes risky. I messed up during my first time by using both Jewels right off the bat without knowing that the Map needed at least one to be powered, so I was stuck continuing without being able to view the routes.

>>3312960
I freaked out at the start of the game when I originally used a jewel and it just VANISHED and I had no clue what happened to it. I even reloaded and restarted.

>>3312969
Ironically enough though, if I remember well, the guy standing by the board in the School hall is the one that says that at least a Jewel is needed to open up the map. He only says that a little while after the prologue, which makes him kind of a troll for waiting that long, just like a "Haha! In your face! You played around with an unknown device you barely have any knowledge on! Therefore you're stuck in this timeline~"

>>3312940
As soon as your jewels start to blink something is about to happen. When that happens use a jewel save.

Hey, I tried downloading the game, after I was done the anti-virus removed the voiced exe, so I uninstalled to download it again, now the setup doesn't open anymore, any help?

>>3313380
How about disabling your antivirus / whitelisting the yu-no folder and try installing again.
It's a false positive, there's no virus.

>>3313403
I just copied the YUNO folder into my drive, and then used the english patch, it works now, but now the game doesn't have any sound, any ideas?

As I said, whitelist / disable your antivirus and reinstall.
Don't copy the folder, reinstall.

Don't forget you can easily skip dialogues with the LEFT CTRL key.
Restarting at the beginning is par for the course in this game.
Just don't actually start a new game, there's an option to go back at the beginning junction.

>>3313538
It's okay you can still get those Jewels back. When they vanish from the device, it means they're somewhere bound on the Map, they serve as checkpoints which you can always return to from where you first used them.

The map always opens back up after 50 hours has passed in-game (not real-time), the device has this drawback where you automatically get sent back in time and, when that happens, you get to decide to get all the owned jewels back, and you also keep the items you obtained during the 50 hour time-span. The protagonist is sort of stuck in a time-loop as long as he's carrying that machine.

>>3313476
I think it depends on how you installed it, did you run it from within the virtual drive or did you setup the game in the default location first?

One of the most tiresome aspect of this game for me was dialogues. Not that i don't like them, but this game manages to include into conversations a heck lot of filling:
>"So"
>"so?"
>"I made a question"
>"What question?"
And so on and so forth. It is counterproductive in a game where half of the time you have your left hand in your dick. There comes a time when you just don't give a crap and pass them. It is even worse if you are using the voiced patch.

>>3314429
The script is amazing though, the dialogues feel more authentic than most other VN's and the humour within some of the exaggerated lines are one of its strongest aspects too. Takuya's sudden gasps are always entertaining to hear.

>>3314575
>>3314429
I disagree: The dialogue is actually some of the best in VNs I've played. Characters are well-designed and well-voiced.


Takuya, for example, gives off the impression of being a pretty apathetic loser. He's going to supplementary classes (which he skips), has no club, and does nothing but perv on women. But as he talks with people and as you figure out his characterization, you realize that he's actually kind of brilliant- the only reason he doesn't show it more is because he deliberately doesn't want to be like his father.

Then there's his relationship with other people. With Mitsuki, for example, the two were in an illicit relationship a few months ago, and you can feel that in every scene. It's somewhat bittersweet, because they were both in a bad place at the time.

While his relationship with Eriko is entirely different. I haven't played through the game so I don't know everything, but I can tell that there's something there- Eriko might be a lax, irresponsible teacher, but she still sees herself as a teacher- working to help her students, even with non-educational things on top of her other job, whatever that might be. Is she a future policewoman?

While at first glance it might look like most of YU-NO's characters are cliche, keep in mind that this is before the cliches were actually solidified. Because of that, they're actually their own characters who helped *shape* the cliche. If you design a character and call her 'tsundere', then that's all she ever is. But if you design a wholly-complete character who found her crush sleeping with a teacher, making her try to hate him and decides never to hold back on anything again, you have Mio.

Again, I'm not done with the game, but my love-letter toward it might just grow as I play more.

That's not my complain. My main complain is:
- Long dialogues for a clearly pornographic game.
- Dialogues full of filling, you could easily cut like 50% of them because it brings nothing to the equation. Literally every dialogue is more than 5 minutes full of nothingness. I would not complain if they were shorter.

>>3314859
https://tlwiki.org/index.php?title=File:Yunopuzzlesolution1.jpg

>>3315470
>long dialogues for a clearly pornographic game

The game's barely pornographic. It feels more like the porn's been shoehorned in more than the dialogue was. If it were focused exclusively on porn, it'd take more than two hours to get to an erotic scene, and there'd be more than one scene a route.
It feels more like a 'fade to black' that happens in games or movies or whatever, except they never actually faded out.;

As for your other point... Yeaaah, I could see that.

>>3315474
A: That's a total one-eighty from how she treats me. It seems to me that you're maintaining a pretty favorable position.
B: But still...
A: The mood never takes that turn.
B: Yeah...
A: Hmm... it's funny, just thinking about it.
B: Please don't have fun at my expense.
A: Well, why don't you try inviting her out for a cup of tea?
B: Tea?
A: Isn't there this really nice establishment somewhere downtown?
B: But, I wonder if Shimazu-san normally visits such places...
A: Just give it all you've got. If you slip up, get back on your feet, and amend your plan.
B: I see...

And this is only a fraction of it. If you are not in the mood of dialogues, you cannot play this game. And is not like the dialogue is full of new information that makes you feel interesting in what is going on.

>>3315482
You might be onto something but I never noticed it so I guess it didn't bother me.

Usually what I don't like it's overly verbose text, but I guess that's technically not the case. I guess they could shorten the dialogues, but the way they seem to prolong them is with fast exchanges.

Even though I don't really know Japanese I get the feeling that it might just be the nature of doing "exact" localization, which fan translation usually does. Not saying that's bad though, but usually those quick, almost throwaway remarks seem to be more natural in the Japanese language and maybe it sounds weird when you transliterate them into English.

>>3315482
The moment we see these short dialogues, they end up being one liners which normally takes less of a second to read through and click. The benefit is that the texts appears instantaneously in this game rather than having to wait for it to be done scrolling before you can click to proceed on reading more.

Also as the game progresses, it becomes less like that as there are more important situations happening.

>>3315470
Who the hell fires up YU-NO for the porn? It's in there out of obligation. It's definitely not the main, secondary, or even tertiary attraction.

Okay, now I'd like you to spoil it for me. I finished the game, (Not the happy endings, because I'm much too lazy) but I still have questions.

Who is the 'she' mentioned in the principal's journal
I get that the plaque was written by someone from Dela Grande 8000 years ago, but what did they write? What does it say?
Who keeps calling the phone only to not answer?
What the fuck was up with Sayless and Electra-Syndro- I mean, Yu-No having special psychic powers?

>>3299630
I think it's just that videos that don't have many views may go undetected. I don't know if silent longplays are that popular.

I straight up found anal fisting on youtube once I swear to fucking god. It was like some 60 year old's sex tapes mashed together to some spy music or something. I swear on literally every one I love I am not making this up.

>>3319902
I believe it. I've seen that kind of thing myself. Some really deep fetish stuff has no identifiably sexual words in the title. Youtube is smart enough to know to put their teams of actual human content censors onto anything with words that hint toward a known type of pornography, but some stuff is able to slip through the cracks. You can also find videos that were listed and then unlisted through playlists, which escape deletion if they get little traffic.

>>3319773
>What the fuck was up with Sayless and Electra-Syndro- I mean, Yu-No having special psychic powers?

I don't think they explain it but I figure it's as simple as "THE CHOSEN ONE" trope and it got passed on genetically.

So the Collectors Edition for Yu-No remake was announced and it includes 5 discs with all the music from original PC-98 version, remake version and super soundtrack version.
Now here's a catch all the music is in MP3 192kbps format.....

>>3320709
And?

>>3320758
And?

>>3320758
You're better off setting up Hoot Player and listening to the originals in crisp form, albeit only for desktop. There's a mobile version of foobar2000 in the works that'll support components like GEP, which plays .vgm files, meaning someone could package YU-NO's YM2608 music into .vgm for you to play on mobile with optimal quality. High-end MP3 won't sound great for YU-NO unless they've got a good producer working on this album.

>>3320825
This, it's silly to release 192kbps mp3 soundtrack on a DVD disc, you can't even play it on any normal music player because of that.
Either they release normal CD which still could hold 320kbps without a problem or those DVDs as the collectors item but with downloadable FLAC soundtrack or something in higher quality then youtubemp3download quality.

>>3319773
Those are the only questions I have also, which I kind of wish the writer was still alive today to ask. It makes me wonder if there really were reasons, or if they were only red herrings

There's also the warehouse that seemingly looked older than it should have been. At least there were more questions answered than the number of questions themselves.

>>3320709
Damn, I kind of wish they had them in .wav for the exact sound.

>>3321365
I assume the warehouse thing is a backlash result of Ryuu's timeghost infesting him/manifesting in that location

Just got my first two endings, fairly close together. Played through without really using the jewel saves at all, I got Ayumi's bad ending.

Such a confusing visual novel. It has a farly intriguing story and premise, but it gets bogged down by also wanting to be an eroge, yet you don't really get much of the later until the second half, which pretty much lessens whatever investment you had in the story and ends on an unsatisfying cliffhanger that will never be resolved.
I wish it had just been decided on the outset what the developers wanted to convey more: The plot or the pornography, and then focused on either instead of half-assing both.

There isn't really a reason to mention it other than stating how terrible it is.
It came out at a time when eroge adaptions were still in infancy so it only got four episodes instead of one or more cours.
But they didn't just rush things through, they completely changed a lot of aspects. The h scenes are often out of place and extremely short. The weirdest part is Mio becoming Kana's mother.

>>3301698

>>3328875

>>3330650
How does that make sense? It's complete bollocks.
Another bizarre moment is when they all strip down to underwear because the spaceship rejects matter from our world and Eriko has a huge stack of panties.

>>3330659
I particularly like it when everyone was raped by a gang of soldiers and they just carry on like it was just a bad afternoon.

>>3330662
Don't remind me what they did to Yu-no.

>>3330667
Yu-No is a retarded character anyway, along with Sayless even in the game. Almost everything from the Epilogue is a goddamn mess, and it just serves to shit on the rest of a beautiful game.

>>3330703
I thought happy adventure fun times with Sayless and younger Yu-No was all good stuff but then it all started falling apart once they started crossing the desert. At least the revelation that you were banging your own daughter in the Kanna route was amusing.

I'd say the worst part about Epilogue is that you end up with even more questions than when you finished the main game. Either they left some obvious mysteries unanswered or the answers they do give don't stand up to even a token level of scrutiny.

>>3330723
To me the epilogue only got good when you arrived at the city and that was only for a brief moment. Then it got stupid again, and then it was okay in the ending, albeit a bit grandiose. Don't even fucking remind me of those goddamn retarded dragon ladies.

And I would agree with you in a way but disagree with others, you are right the answers they give kind of fall flat, but I'm not sure you'd want concrete answers to begin with. I think the whole game works because there's always a sense of mysticism and mystery involved in everything, but while still being grounded in the modern world. When they just show you what's behind the magician's hand the trick just feels cheap. Sometimes it really is better not to know. Sayless and Yu-No's appearances during the normal game are great moments, there's mysticism and confusion around them, you don't know who they are, they're ghosts or angels or whatever. But then you show every inch and detail of their lives and the mysticism is defused. I think explaining their story needed a little bit more of nuance and speculation, but instead they lay everything out on the table, and it feels really sloppy. It's hardly even storytelling at that point, it just feels like information dump, and tone-wise it's very different from the rest of the game.

Is it possible that the epilogue was rushed? Heavy spoilers: Ryuuzouji's body being inhibited by a great demon that crosses over to Dela Grande seemed interesting enough, but it seems that all you do in the other world is meet and fuck random ladies and then sort of manage to cross the treshold of time and space with your daughter, who you've also fucked. And to add insult to injury, despite committing incest twice, the most you get from Eriko is a handjob. How come they didn't give best girl any additional h-scenes?

It's weird.

>>3330779
I get the feeling that Kanno was just trying to make a great adventure game and then Elf came in "HEY FUCKFACE WHERE ARE THE SEX SCENES, THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A TITTY GAME"

>>3320709
You can probably get them in better quality by just ripping from the game. What a mess.

>>3330779
It definitely was "rushed" - I think there's a bunch of info floating around the web which states that the "epilogue" was supposed to be structurally more like a "part 2" rather than an epilogue - in other words, as big and non-linear as the "main game"

It also has a bunch of dropped concepts such as Mitsuki being the Queen instead of Ayumi in the epilogue, which is supposed to be ironic because she always dies at the same point in the "main" world

Does ctrl skip unread text as well? I'm doing my 2nd playthrough and I don't want to miss any new dialogue.

>>3330935
I don't think so, but can't be sure.

>>3330928
Do you have a source on that Mitsuki thing?

>>3330958
I remember seeing the concept art scans, probably here in /vr/ a long time ago. I don't know how to go about digging it from the archives though, if possible.

>>3330928
Why did they rush it? Elf was still in good shape in 1996.
Only thing I'm noticing is that it was their last PC98 title.

>>3330779
They initially intended that part to be the second part of the game that also initialized the Reflector Device, so the game would have been twice longer if they had a lot of time.

There is this Famitsu article from a few hours ago about the remake, with a couple of new screenshots:

>>3333003
>The game was delayed because of changes to comply with the ethics code among other things.

Implied stepmom-son and two times the father-daugher incest is too much even without the sex?

>>3333014
Considering the shit that happens on a regular basis in VNs I don't think that's it at all.

>>3333026
On consoles?

>>3333014
It might also be Kanna's prostitution.

>>3332954
Is there any chance this might get released for PC? I want to suffer.

>>3331672
Gigantic games are fun for the players (sometimes) but generally not for the developers who are basically bleeding money until it actually gets released.

>>3333436
Why not sell the game in two parts?

>>3333535
Delete this

>>3333535
They did release an extra scenario (the part in the epilogue wherein Takya falls in love with Sayless) later for the PC-98 to flesh out the story a bit more. The fan translation patch integrated it directly to the main game, and it's very seamless.

>>3333579
That shit confused me, did the original release really just cut from Illia dying to Yu-no being born? Or did it replace something else?

>>3333616
Yep, that's right. Skipped.

I was surprised to learn that too, as I found that whole sequence to be one of the best parts of the epilogue, because it actually developed the characters very well IMO and gave you a chance to care about them more. Without it, it's like BAM! They're in love! And adventure happens!

Who knows what other planned but-not-made scenes we're missing.

>First-print copies of 5pb.’s YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of This World remake for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita in Japan will include the original version of the game, the company announced at 5pb. Festival 2016.

>will include the original version of the game

I wish they were a little more specific, is the original version the PC-98 version or the subsequent ports?

>>3333936
Bundling a PC98 hdi with an emulator seems more practical than re-releasing the Elf Classics version and it could also work on Android phones.
Saturn seems completely out of question.

>>3333962
>Saturn seems completely out of question.
Not to mention they probably would need to pay the voice actors again.

>>3333643
I have to agree with Takuya and Sayless. Their arc was my favourite part of the game knowing that there was another world, and it's one of the biggest aspects that made the epilogue feel so rewarding after the long game in the city.

Are there any other games like this with an in-game flowchart that can be travelled in, aside the Zero Escape series?

So I have a theory that the "she" the Real Ryuuzouji mentioned is actually Keiko but possessed or Niarbed by the fake Ryuuzouji. Now my reasoning for this is that ,if Yu-No is anything to go by, when a priestess comes into contact with Grandia's consciousness she learns everything that Grandia knows, and according to the Real Ryuuzouji that "she" really helped him with his research, meaning she was quite knowledgeable about events, and causality and parallel worlds and the like. This also might explain why she committed suicide, as she might have wanted to free herself of Fake Ryuuzouji's control.

>>3333973
Let's also not forget that the Saturn soundtrack is fucking atrocious.

>I still don't understand why the remake just doesn't use the saturn audio, it's a pretty good reimagining of the original FM Synth.
>but it just feels unnecessary, the saturn audio already sounds "modern".

Look, I don't mean to be an ass, but the Saturn audio is a complete butchering of the original OST
Just listen to http://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/yu-no-super-sound-track/129-fanky-tang.mp3 and compare to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDsxkjoANBw

Honestly, the remake OST is already looking to be way better than the Saturn OST, and might end up being up there with the original. That said, I hope the final version of the title theme swaps the flutes out for something else, because they sound kind kinda off.

>>3337376
The original OST will always be the best. I'm glad the 2011 translation made it the default.

>>3337476
Definitely, but I'm really digging the remake of the first movement theme

>>3337483
Wait, is it already up somewhere? Original Movement 1 and 2, Clair de Lune in the Cafe and Night-Time in the city songs are my favourites, so I'm curious how the remake sounds like now.

>>3337354
>The HG101 article doesn't exist anymore :(

>>3337376
I agree with you on everything, the original is obviously the best and the new one is looking good as well from the few tracks that are up on the site. I just really don't see how the Saturn one is bad, it seems pretty okay to me. Even with your example I don't find anything objectionable, and I'm assuming you're already picking a particularly bad track. It sounds a little bit more flat, sure, it's not as sharp, but I still like it, it's a nice alternative.

Still, it's your prerogative.

>>3337832
There's worse examples but Fanky Tang is one of my favorites which is why I picked it. I'll try posting more later

>>3337534
5pb put up previews on their site

>>3337913
They're not bad so far. I feel like I could still get nostalgia vibes from the new versions.
I'm just glad there is still the option to revert back to the original format nonetheless~

Every character just looks like a placeholder character you'd find away in the background in an anime scene for 2 seconds before disappearing forever into obscurity.

And it's not like the original character concepts were masterpieces, they were also pretty bog standard for the style at the time, but they were pretty well drawn and had strong character lines. These are so fucking featureless.

I mean it's not like they're absolutely terrible or Key-tier, but generic is really the most accurate description. Even the backgrounds and colors seem to be so fucking boring.

To be fair though Sayless had some of the worst and inconsistent portraits in the game, she looked different in every scene, so they had a lot of room to improve.

And this one particularly is the worst piece of drawing in the whole game, asides from those added saturn scenes.

>>3340602
The anatomy from the waist down looks pretty off yeah. Speaking of, did the game have multiple artists? Eriko's Foxy Mama sprite and the CG in Evening with the infamous coffee cup scene look like they were drawn by two completely different people.

I liked Ayumi's route simply because my emotions really synced up with Takuya near the end of it. The ending where you finally get to expose Toyotomi for the scumbag he is and save Ayumi from comitting sudoku felt so fucking satisfying. Helped that Ayumi was really hot too, and dat fucking voice.

>>3340503
Hate his new design... He looks like a Girl now.

>>3340781
On the flipside, he looks like the dweeb he really is now

>>3340787
For some reason I still find him to be one of the best companions for all the dialogue he has. Eric, however, from the new Zero Escape game would be who I'd call a Dweeb~

>>3340790
I like him too but

>actually thought having the entire town turn against Mio and her dad was a good idea

>>3340795
Those reasons are why I love the guy, haha. And the jokes being flat are what's iconic about his character, and I find that in itself to be the joke. Even better when he's a punching bag for Takuya.

>>3340816
I'm not saying they're bad things, just that they are the actions of someone you would usually call a dweeb

>>3340831
Ahs. I guess he really is one. I often took the concept of dweeb as someone being too unimportant to enjoy. I probably didn't know the true definition of it, but yeah what you say makes sense.

>>3343604
I never knew tagging an image as spoiler also hides the file name... Fascinating.
Admittedly, for my case, I found Dela Grante to be the best part of the game. What a way to spend a major part of the story in a world other than Sakaimachi.

>>3343997
I liked it too, sucks that we didn't get to see much of the capital. Kanno and his team really should have split YU-NO into two parts so the epilogue could have been properly fleshed out.

Is https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwye2108S7E from the PC-98 version or the elf classics port? The booting process and the fade in effects make me say PC-98 but the SP disk option in the main menu makes me think otherwise.

>>3344939
What part of PC98実機 do you not understand?

>>3344942
I thought only the windows port had the SP Disk built in, though?

>>3344019
I agree, as memorable as the second part of the game is, it'd be even better if it were longer and if there were another flowchart to it.

>>3344976
I guess if the other world was split into a separate game, they could have the part with Sayless be the prologue of it, and the start of the main game would be when Takuya gets to the capital.

>>3345000
Though that begs the question: what routes would it have? Amanda, Eichli:Kkwadrouu, Ayumi, Yu-no and maybe Sala?

>>3345007
Airia and Kunkun

>>3345021
>kun-kun

With my mouth

>>3344945
SP Disk = supplementary disk. AKA the disk containing the extra scenario (and other bonuses) mentioned in >>3333579

I imagine that on the PC-98 it would integrate itself into the main menu after installation.

>>3346442
I know what the SP disk is; I just thought it was completely separate from the main game like other fan disks

So how cone Kanna doesn't have elf ears? How come Takuya appears to age normally despite his mom being a dela grantian?

>>3348287
Because Takuya is still half and Kanna is still a quarter human.
