http://reviews.fuwanovel.net/2015/12/04/euphoria/ Euphoria, sometimes brutal, sometimes disgusting, sometimes intriguing and suspenseful. What a weird game. Steel your stomach and be open minded when approaching this one. I'm curious what you all thought of the review, it's the first one I've ever written.

In a society ruled by the proletariat, our figures would meet the basic human needs of every man! Yeah, that money's meant for pieces of plastic that are slightly larger than the size of my hand!

I'm glad we have people willing to sacrifice themselves to the greater cause in the fuwareview team.

It's so interesting how Onodera is adored over in Japan but, at least on /r/nisekoi, most people absolutely hate her and any chapter centered around her. (and I don't blame them for that). Well, I'll always only have one true best girl in my heart, and that's Fuu-chan.

Root Double is a 50 hours game, TL+ED will cost them 36k$ and it will be done by Lemnisca, they did good TLs previously, or so community say. [85 EGS]For the whole TLC/Re-TL/QC Muv-Luv wanted 57,5k$. It was supossed to be done by Ixrec/Alternative Projects and some other "experts" The length of ML/MLA is approx 80 hours [90 EGS]Libra on the other side will need 80k$ for translation, length of the game is approx 20 hours, forgive me if I'm wrong, saw only 2 reviews on EGS listing 12h and 15h. Translation is done by people inside. [70 EGS]TL;DR Root Double - 50 hours - 36,000$ - 85 EGS Rating ML/MLA - 80 hours - 57,500$ - 90 EGS Rating Libra - 20 hours - 80,000$ - 70 EGS Rating(Low amount of votes tho, might be not too accurate) Would also add Clannad/Grisaia etc. but I don't see a point... I still would like to play Libra and give it a chance, maybe if it'll be on sale on Steam for 20-25$ I'll consider buying it. Good Luck with the Kickstarter. Yowza! 20 hours?!?! Erogamespace is mistaken! Libra gameplay, the FULL uncut version, is 60 hours. The Steam version will be 15% shorter than that with the H-scenes removed. We have stated that that version will be around 50 hours. Also, could you please pass us a link where you saw this incorrect information on EGS or elsewhere. Thanks. UPDATE: We looked at EGS and found what we believe you were referencing for gameplay time. This just means that 2 people played the game for 11-15 hours. Maybe a player chose only one path and sped through the game like crazy, or another played Libra for 11-15 hours, quit, then decided to write a review. In any case, the full game is 60 hours. I suppose we could account for players with superhuman abilities. ;-) You mentioned that you've managed to cut costs a bit. What's the new initial funding goal? We'll be making the new, reduced (sodium) budget public next Thursday when we launch. ;-)

You truly have the most charming priorities here.

Why not? That's the standard price for VNs of this size.

How I see it when people recommend not translated VNs to people that cant read Japanese

Well, I just got gifted a lovely (and delicious) bag of dicks from someone on Fuwanovel. Such a beautiful gift! Cleaning up the atrocious amounts of glitter as it dumped all over the floor was the best part!

They're fighting the good fight. Playing all the bad games so that we don't have to.

Like I said in the first few lines of this tutorial, there is no such thing as the perfect program, this is perfect for me that I like to read full screen (if i dont use full-screen I cannot get immerse in the novel) and probably other users but not for everyone, you can also use it as a compliment. It lacks in some way but the fullscreen feature and being able to fix the parsing(which is already really good) on the go plus adding names and translations yourself that's the biggest pro it has. It has its pro and cons like any other software.

Sekai didn't use crowdfunding on G-senjou so that's a start I hope.... Oh, please, do not start this again! Already discussed that in G-Senjou thread. Sekai did NOTHING. All did AB2 and pondr with the_noob_avenger. This is perfect example how to make money without laying a finger (I am exaggerate, obv, but you got the idea - amount of involvement is nowhere near what does MG and Jast for their localizations). They would KS all other projects, as why not? This gives lot of free money, so why not? While MG struggles to get the things profitable with their 18+ Kara no Shoujo 2 releases - Sekai blatantly cut the game and push it on Steam - eat what you got served and praise Dovac the poor, who is living on the edge, struggling for every penny each day to deliver you VNs... Bueh. You sponsor the company, who does not care about authenticity, about giving uncut uncensored versions (which I always want to get when get VN release in the west), to give you full experience and even more.

I have nothing against companies using Crowdfunding for specific means like maybe recovering from a financial flop and checking if people still have interest in their products, like Overdrive did with its Green Green Remake. But I don't like using Crowdfunding as a business model. I mean using Crowdfunding every time. It's wrong. It sends the message that this stuff is too niche to publish it normally (which is an insult to honest companies like MG trying their best to establish an honest business). It also leads to many censored all-ages version because porn is not accepted on Kickstarter. Finally, I don't think that this will last very long. This bubble will burst when people are finally tired of being exploited and realize that they don't support the English VN scene and instead are killing it. Hopefully. It's my business, because of stupid people backing butchered releases, I can't have nice things anymore.

Instead, they are giving licenses to Dovac Kickstarter for VNs are bad because it corrupts the idea of Crowdfunding. It's for Indies and Startups to finance their first ambitious project. NOT for established companies to support their every move! If you need to ask for money every fucking time you want to do something, your company is an epic fail economically. MG and JAST don't do this because they are not troll companies like Sekai Project is. That said, I can't blame Dovac for being a greedy businessman and choosing the option with the most profit. If I had no soul, pride or conscience, maybe I would do the same.

You think you're relieved of Rika, then SHE FUCKING STARTS BITCHING AND CRYING IN OTHER ROUTES AND THE MAIN ROUTE BETTER MAKE HER SOME SORT OF ACTING TWISTED BASTARD BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER WANTED TO BITCHSLAP A PERSON SINCE MUV LUV EXTRA SO FUCKING HARD AND NO HER SCENES DON'T RELIEVE ANY STRESS WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FUCKING NATSUKI'S SHIT UP AND RIKA BEING MORE UNBEARABLE THAN THE WORST OF SCAT RAPE 7/24

It does seem rushed. I didn't feel like that during my playthrough, mostly cause I loved both of the characters involved and I wanted to see them happy. And you know how their happiness turned out.

I think I know who she likes... The way to fix Nisekoi would be to kill Raku and make a full on yuri harem.

For me, "trying one's hardest" is doing something in such a way that the other person notices you're doing it. Now I know Raku is denser than the densest material known to mankid, but look at Marika's approach for a minute (and this is why I favor her over other characters). From day one she confessed her feelings and made her intentions known. She tried to advnce their relationship in a way that clearly made Raku feel her presence, by taking him to dates when she could, giving him gifts, complimenting him directly, kissing him and just overall trying to be close to him, to the point where in that arc where they were stranded on an island he ended up being super conscious of her, so much so he had to come up with the conclusion to reject her feelings. No single other character (perhaps maybe Yui), has pushed Raku so far into doing something and being as conscious of someone as Marika did. Chitoge on the other hand has a super roundabout approach that just doesn't freaking work on Raku, and honestly I don't think would work for most people. How is someone supposed to guess she's "trying her hardest" in this chapter when all she's doing is dragging someone around to places she picked. And not only that, but that someone clearly is not enjoying the first few trips, so why insist on "trying your hardest" by using the same methods that already failed more than once? It'd be easier to switch your approach. And if you really want to keep trying your hardest, just tell him you want to cheer him up! It's soooo much easier from that point on, because he would be aware that you're doing that for him, but insted she just expects him, the densest man in existence, to figure it out of thin air. As for Onodera, I shouldn't even need to explain anything, she just doesn't do anything and is content with it to boost, characters that just go "I'm fine with things the way they are" or "Just being next side him is good enough" are my definition of garbage tier. Let's be 100% honest here, the only reason she's still in the game is because Raku likes her.

I also love the Chitoge fans trying to excuse her actions in this chapter as if she's some saint. Apparently people should be excusing her because "she tried her hardest". Well, I'd love to know how you'd react if suddenly a girl is just trying to make you go through a bunch of crazy stuff you're not really in the mood for, and then expects you to really appreciate it. I mean, yeah I'm sure she had good intentions, but she's also pretty dense if she can't see Raku is having problems, and maybe the best course of action isn't to go on a freaking roller coaster. I long for the day where Nisekoi characters just have a chat like normal people about their issues instead of beating around the bush until every single leaf falls off.

It's fun showing the plebeians who only read translated stuff what they are missing out on the wonderful library of visual novels not knowing Japanese. I didnt say that it was bad anywhere :^ ) actually, the reason i read only translated stuff is because i want to improve my english. but it's true, VN heaven is only for people who understand japanese. too bad when it comes to japanese language, i literally know nothing T_T. It's all good buddy. At least you know what to expect unlike some people. Just dont rush our fantranslators or tell them what to translate because I've seen things become sour that way. The English VN choices are still rich and there are plenty of good ones out there so feel free to consult us for any recommendations. If you are ever curious of more forced/darker themed vn translated or untranslated, feel free to PM me. Thats my specialty.

Chapter 196 / 197 Sorry I forget to update the thread as often, but it's not like there's any progress in the manga to miss. And these two most recent chapters are exactly the reason why I can't support either Onodera or Chitoge. Seriously, Onodera always same the same exact god damn thing every single time. "I'm going to try my best" doesn't mean jackshit if you never actually do anything! And Chitoge is still the same damn tsundere. "I've been trying my hardest lately", no you fucking haven't, it always ends up the same way with you and Raku, you just punch him because you can't control your hormones. Now I'm not going to pretend Raku isn't a factor in this bullshit, he's actually the main factor, but the girls aren't really any better than him if I have to be blunt, and this all creates the huge clusterfuck that is Nisekoi. I just hope Raku one day comes to terms with how he feels and does something to make the plot go forward, but we all know that's not happening. The previous Marika arc had a terrible pacing, even I as a Marika fan can admit that, but at least with Marika she would always try to make progress and be straightforward about it, never wavering. With Chitoge and Onodera chapters it's always the same status quo crap, it's infuriating. In conclusion: we leave a super dragged out arc that everyone was complaining about for being too dragged out into the typical "status quo" plot and everyone is still complaining because there's no plot. Nisekoi is one of the most paradoxical manga.

so i found this,and gonna leave it here

There's no logical reason to hate Kickstarter here. If you don't like its use, don't contribute.

Oh, no I feel like I'm going into one of my famous sleep deprived rants.... well anyway, it really just comes down to me not liking Touka much. It has been awhile since I read Kara no Shoujo so I can't point to specific examples, but I just found her annoying. I suppose the way they forced her into episode 2's story-line in order to make it a "sequel" also contributed to my present rage. They could have very well titled this something completely different and kept everything the same and call the upcoming episode 3, episode 2, and I would have been happier. Although chances are episode 3 will be about another completely unrelated serial killing incident. . This is completely unrelated, but wtf was up with Reiji reporting to Chizuru about the Touka case? It's like he just wanted to make sure she felt bad for loving her brother more than Touka, which just seems like a waste of time.

Well, Chiitrans Lite is nice, but it's far from perfect. Also, it seems that it's not in development anymore and that probably means that it wont get any better anymore. The dictionary features are nice. It's fast and it's not as convoluted as TA when there are many different meanings possible. It's not an option for power users like us though. You only have one parser and I also didn't find a way to include other dictionaries. If you want to change the original text, you have to open an additional window which is a "normal" dialog window which might crash your fullscreen game. My conclusion is that Chiitrans Lite is perfect for people who know the language and need the parser only to look up a few words or for the furigana. Chiitrans Lite is especially useful for furigana readers because you can choose a reading for every word and Chiitrans will remember this the next time. That's a feature I miss in TA, because TA will always use the first reading as furigana and this is quite often not the right one, not even the most probable one. It's not good for people who want to learn the language though. I think looking at a greedy and a restrained parser at the same time is essential. I also like to have more than the default dictionary available. A quick edit of the original text is not possible.

I'm fking totally getting this PoS when it comes out "Idea Factory International will bring MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies to PS Vita (with PlayStation TV compatibility) in North America and Europe in retail and digital formats in spring 2016, the publisher announced." http://gematsu.com/2015/12/megatagmension-blanc-neptune-vs-zombies-coming-west-spring-2016 MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune vs. Zombies

^ye, it's pretty awesome ~~ One last comment before I disappear forever from this thread, I never knew there was a Character Relations chart. But now that I do, I can finally verify this: Character relationship spoilers, obviously. See you guys in 2021 when KnS3 is out & localized

Coincidentally, I made a hooking tool for FMT games some months ago. I never released it though, because it is still buggy and does not hook every FMT game yet and I'm just too lazy to finish it, lol. But I think it should work with Fairytale games, Ballade of Maria too, If you want to play the FMT version, I can check if I remember this right and if it indeed works, send you a beta of my tool. It's really a matter of taste though. Some people like PC98's FM sound more than FMT's CD audio. Yup, I never found this one either. It's one of the most rare vn gems I know of, haha.

It doesn't really make a difference to anyone where the funds go as long as project expectations are met--backers typically only care about backer rewards and how they're priced. That 1.2mil raised by the MLA project is going somewhere unspecified--the stretch goals obviously didn't cost them 900k to implement. Someone's pocketing the difference. What matters here is that those projects were willing to make do with less money if they had to. Whether the initial funding goal is 10k or 200k doesn't really matter to individual backers. We'll give MiKandi the benefit of the doubt and assume they'll deliver whatever they promise. It's all a matter of whether the project can actually clear whatever funding goal they set. The only ones who actually lose out if they set an unreachable goal are the company themselves.

Good choice! If you're interesting in reading more of those oldies, I recommend to check if there is also a FMT version available. Most of the time they have a superior soundtrack. In the case of Fairytale games like Ballade for Maria or Necronomicon, the arranged OSTs are breathtaking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY09wsXqV-w It's really a matter of taste, if one prefers the PC98 version or FMT version. FM/MIDI output on PC98 is also awesome. That said, you should probably install some additional sound drivers for your NPTH. I especially recommend VERMOUTH for MIDI output. It's SOOO much better. Orgasm for the ears. Especially with great OSTs like in Ballade for Maria. Most Fairytale VNs are actually located in the Western world, if I recall correctly...

W00t? A vn with a setting..... IN AMERICA? (props if you get the joke)

Double the reproductive system, double the fun as I use to say <3 #Futanarisarethebest #woulddieforfuta #futaloversunite

True. I love those hot buns in the morning. Next person is a parent.

Kyou's route was actually pretty long, as I recall, it's just that you see a lot of Ryou in it, for obvious reasons; maybe you're just viewing a bunch of the stuff that's part of the route as "common route" or something? At any rate, once the big romance conflict is resolved, telling other stories about the clean-up explanation afterwards would just drag out the ending and make it even less interesting. Kyou's is certainly the weakest of the full-length routes in Clannad, from what I can tell, but I at least don't think it's bad, per se. Calling it "garbage tier", asserting the writing is worse than some random nukige, and using some other hyperbole when calling out the route length, makes it seem like first you over-hyped for it, and now you're just dead set against enjoying it. You'll probably be happier if you just go read something else. Regarding Yukine's ending: I actually really enjoyed it. Certainly it was extremely short, and it was light on drama and CGs, but I was genuinely moved by the big monologue scene; that was enough for me. Currently reading Tomoyo's route... man it's long. I'm kind of hoping to get through this quickly and get to After Story, but I still have so much left to go of the first set of routes.

muv luv fo sho and don't skip extra and unlimited

Top fuwareview comment of the year. In my case, I already knew I hated them, but they don't seem too exaggerated in euphoria even if you don't disable them. Also I will continue to pluralize that word with an "s" just to spite OriginalRen. Ahegaos.

Good News Everyone! Pending approval of Kickstarter, we plan to launch the "Libra of the Vampire Princess" campaign on December 10, 2015. We know you've all been anxiously awaiting this news (we have, too)! All in all, we're at a point where we (MiKandi Japan and XERO) feel the project has reached our target for supporters and momentum. So, the time has come to "put the pedal to the metal" and steamroll through the holiday season to victory! This is a crucial time, so please stay tuned for more announcements! Ever thankful for your support, MiKandi Japan and XERO PS: If you haven't caught the preview of our campaign, we urge you to stop by our Prefundia page and check out all the goodies! We have quite a few surprises to be revealed on launch day, too. Here we go!

why would you need anything else?

I'v only read Muv-Luv, and it has great action,some quantum mechanics and theories , and shit romance(if there is any to be considered at all). Fate seems like its also more action based compared to normal VN,maybe there is good romance? IDK, haven't read it yet, I'v only seen the anime,so I can;t tell. I don't know much about Umineko,from what I see on the vndb page, Im guessing it is more mind games and details, probably not as much action as the above two, it will probably be more deception and tricks compared to direct confrontation( since your all in one place, you can't really start some fight without drawing much attention).No idea if there is romance at all. So based on that, I will recommend Muv-Luv because it is the only one I have read so far, It has a lot of action,the story was interesting for me, but the ending sucked.

Umineko is one of those rare instances where I don't mind the vn being a NVL style (bunch of text superimposed on the characters/whole screen and has more narration) just because the story is engaging. It's an 11 out of 10 in the story/plot and clearly blows Fate and Muv Luv out of the damn water. If you are more into the characters, then the later 2 might be better.

Havent read any of them tbh, I just came by to say this

Umineko. Even though it personally isn't a 10/10 for me, it's the best VN I've read in terms of accomplishing what it tried to do. It's honestly close to perfect in that regard. Haven't read F/SN yet myself. A bit too daunting for me right now. Muv Luv Alternative is a 7/10 game. It has great moments, yes, but overall it isn't all that impressive. IMHO it does not deserve very high a place in the hallmark of VN's.

Baldr Sky is so good that it's worth learning Japanese for it. It's like Gundam combined with Armored Core and Muv Luv. It also has amazing gameplay to the point that you will wonder if this is a VN or an action RPG. Heck, you probably can just use a walkthrough and play it for its RPG aspects and still not get bored. Also one of its fandisc, DiveX is quite lengthy and also has decent side stories and has several cameo characters including Mayucchi from Majikoi, Murasama (Nitro+), and Shizuka from Scarlett. Oh and Kadokura Kou is one of the most bad ass protagonists I've ever seen that he earned a husbando place in my sig.

Here, fixed that for you.

Started playing Undertale yesterday. I was ready to be underwhelmed and disappointed by the excessive hype it's been receiving. And... nope! It's incredibly good! The writing is great. It has a lot of charming characters, a good sense of humor, and some pretty strong emotional beats. The music is also fantastic and matches very well with the setting and the moods the writing generates. The art is... well, it's not the best but they made it work. The sprites aren't technical marvels but each one fits the personalities of the characters greatly and are pretty well designed. It amazes me how good this game literally made almost entirely by a single person is. And it warms the cockles of my heart to witness its slow but steady rise to popularity. Every day the game's old simultaneous players record on Steam is broken, and it has recently surpassed 100k sales. Good on Toby Fox. Unfortunately it is no longer the undisputed #1 rated PC game of all time on metacritic, instead it's just tied for first.

Saya no Uta Nitroplus | 2003 | horror / 18+ Summary Fuminori Sakisaka has a traffic accident which kills his parents and leaves him heavily injured. When he has a brain surgery to save his life, his perception of the world changes: everything he sees becomes blood and guts, people's looks and voices seem like monsters, and food that normally appeals to him tastes disgusting. As he contemplates suicide in the hospital, Fuminori meets a beautiful girl among the flesh-covered walls. She introduces herself as Saya, and is apparently looking for her father.
