Oh my god Muv-Luv Extra is just as painful as everyone claims...

This.

Finished Amy's Fantasies. Wow, what a really underrated game. Not amazing, but pretty enjoyable. Now it's time for Muv-Luv!

I played the game and after getting every single ending, I would have to say that my favorite ending was when Subaru went out on a date with the school idol and it was implied that Saki would I think the game would have been better if there was more character development, the male lead actually cared about the girls, and there was romance. Also instead of Maika should have And now for something trivial: they should have switched Saki and Maika's names. Saki's character fits the name Maika a lot more than Maika herself does in my opinion.

Yeah, all of the ones I listed have legitimate tsunderes that have routes.

Amy's Fantasies. It's pretty good for an old Windows 98 nukige.

"Tsundere is a Japanese character development process which describes a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing their warm side over time. This change of behavior is permanent, and that's where the classic tsundere type is different form the modern tsundere." (VNDB)

Hello and welcome!

Extra is only 6-10 hours? With all the people on the Internet complaining about how horrible it is, I would have thought that it would have been at least medium length. I can get through a bad short-length VN easy. Thank you for your information Wahfuu! Now I know what games I'm going to be playing these days~

Hello and welcome~

I was describing my IDEAL visual novel, meaning I listed everything that a visual novel that I would find perfect would have. I'll admit, my post was a bit of a joke, but I was serious overall. I have yet to play a visual novel better than Saya and I don't think that I ever will. What I look for in VNs in general is: 1. Having romance and violence as major themes without being too mushy or having mindless killing. 2. Having a dark story. 3. Having good writing. 4. Having complex characters ...but a game including the other eleven points would make my ideal visual novel.

Saya no Uta had a harem? Did we play the same game? I can only assume that you are referring to Yoh. Fuminori was never interested in her. At the beginning of the game, he thought of her as an annoyance. After Saya he thinks of her as only a When we hear him talk about his life before the car accident, he says that the only reason he would date Yoh was to keep his group of friends stable.

Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru - Tsundere is Takako G-senjou no Maou - Tsundere is Mizuha Da Capo II - Tsundere is Yume Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo - Tsundere is Touka Da Capo - Tsunderes are Nemu and Mako Hinatabokko - Tsundere is Koori Mirai no Kimi to, Subete no Uta ni - Tsundere is Miku (the only heroine) MoeCureNet - Tsundere is the blonde girl whose name I cannot remember at the moment Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o: Anata to Koibito Tsunagi (yuri) - Tsundere is Reo Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o: Tenshi no Hanabira Zome (yuri) - Tsundere is Shizuku Hope that helps~

Yeah, I didn't think you would be insulted, but I've had too many people get offended by things I've written that I did not intend to be offensive so I put that there just in case.

Out of the sixty-five visual novels that I have played (including extremely popular titles such as Kanon, Clannad, and Narcissu 1 and 2), I have felt emotions whilst playing only five other than Saya: Dra†KoI surprised me by being a legitimately amusing visual novel, and I laughed at the jokes. G-senjou no Maou more than satisfied my desire for a well-written visual novel containing romance and violence with Haru's route, and I shed a tear during Kanon's route. Kara no Shoujo kept me at the edge of my seat with its wonderfully written mysteries, in which the criminal was always the person who seemingly was the least involved at the beginning. Kikokugai - The Cyber Slayer had amazing battle scenes, and one in particular involving the CEO of the cybernetics company had my heart pounding. Wanko to Kurasou surprised me by having interesting conflicts, and the scene at the end of Risa's route with Mikan warmed my heart. These are the five nines on my visual novel list. While I regard them all as amazing (well, maybe not Wanko. That one is kind of my guilty pleasure.), none of them can possibly reach Saya's level in my opinion. Saya was everything I could have asked for and more. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I respect yours solidbatman. I'm interested in your upcoming blog post, and I will be sure to read it. I've never read a review of Saya that has anything negative to say, so I'm quite looking forward to yours! Even if we disagree on a few things (or more) I'll be fine with it. (Oh, and by the way, the thing I wrote at the beginning about the five nines on my list was not intended to insult you for not loving Saya, it was intended to expand on why I loved the game so much and why it is my favorite VN of all time.)

Describe your ideal visual novel! Eurobeatz's Ideal Visual Novel: 1. Has romance and violence as major themes. However, the romance must not be mushy, and the violence cannot be mindless killing; it must be for a reason. (Like Saya no Uta) 2. Has complex characters that cannot be described in three words or less. (Like Saya no Uta) 3. Has horror and mystery elements. (Like Saya no Uta) 4. Has an amazing soundtrack that not only adds to the experience of playing the visual novel, but also leads you to listen to it after completing the game. (Like Saya no Uta) 5. Has a deep story. (Like Saya no Uta) 6. Has amazing writing that uses complex words and fits with the tone of the visual novel. (Like Saya no Uta) 7. Has replay value. (Like Saya no Uta) 8. Has no gameplay elements other than choices to further the story. And aforementioned choices must be few, with each leading to a unique ending. (Like Saya no Uta) 9. Has sex scenes that have a purpose in the story. (Like Saya no Uta) 10. Has a male lead with only one romantic interest. (Like Saya no Uta) 11. Has a character with a mental disorder of some sort. (Like Saya no Uta) 12. Has art that fits the tone of the visual novel. (Like Saya no Uta) 13. Has bittersweet and depressing endings, with no "happily ever after" ending. (Like Saya no Uta) 14. Is a game that has an impact on your life. (Like Saya no Uta (for me)) 15. Has a dark story. (Like Saya no Uta) tl;dr: My ideal visual novel exists, and it is Saya no Uta.

From what I've seen from the CG set, this one looks much more intense than anything they've released so far.

A Saya no Uta themed car of course!

I got out of school on the 30th of May. I've been spending my Summer playing VNs and packing, as I'm going to be moving to Japan.

Animal Crossing = My Childhood. The first game is my favorite and always will be, though I am looking forward to getting around to playing New Leaf.

Streaming sites. I usually use Animeseason.

My favorite VNs are G-Senjou, Dra+KoI, and my all-time favorite is Saya no Uta, so it sounds like we will get along. Welcome!

Hello and welcome. I play VNs for the story as well. Do you prefer more lighthearted stories or darker stories?

Hello and welcome! If you want to play a good dark VN, I recommend Saya no Uta.
