JAST USA is doubling down... on SoniComi?
Arcadeotic replied to Fred the Barber's topic in Visual Novel Talk
I don't really know what to think about this nor really care I guess another language for this kind of game could work, but really I'd probably cringe, hard I'm not planning on getting this game, so I don't mind either way. -
Welcome to the Forums I'd recommend Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate, Koi ga Saku Koro Sakura doki, Kono Oozora, no Tsubasa o Hirogete(If My Heart Had Wings), My Girlfriend is the President, Noble Noodle Works and Dracu-Riot! Hope to see you soon

If My Heart Had Wings(I know, I'm a little slow with VNs)
Arcadeotic replied to TheGuy21's topic in Visual Novel Talk
Amane's route's themes and events clicked with me the most She's also an adorable airhead with a voluptous physique I'm sticking with Amane til the bitter end -

It's a valid fear. r/vns is full of so-called "elitists", who look down on machine translations and even parsing to an extent. And I can assure you that if this poll wasn't linked to there, the result would've been largely different. However, that place is one of two major VN communities, so that isn't exactly an option. I've used machine translation and text-parsing a lot, and now that I'm learning Japanese, I'm still using text-parsing and MTL. They are a major help to those still learning this language, and this amount of shunning and ridicule doesn't feel mature. I'd understand if it was something along the lines of "I understand the merits of machine translation and parsing, but I prefer to read VNs in their original form, and thus don't feel comfortable using them any longer". Instead, in certain communities, we get this sort of backlash, and it's never nice to look at. I agree that learning Japanese is the best way to read VNs, but not everyone has that kind of time to put into learning this rather hard language, so parsing and MTL are great alternatives to read these games and learn Japanese at the same time. Even if it doesn't help you or you think it's a waste of time personally, it doesn't automatically mean it's a "worse" choice and should be shunned and given this kind of treatment. This elitism is really aggravating, and it would be for the better if such an attitude would be left and buried entirely.

Dracu-Riot Saga Part 3: Nicola Cepheus
Arcadeotic commented on Arcadeotic's blog entry in Arc's VN Talk
Yeah, I think so too To be fair, I almost beat Nicola's and Azusa's route's at the same time, but held this review's release a bit so that users had time to read the previous one That one-piece dress is so cute, one of my favorite CGs. -

[WARNING] [This entry will hold massive amounts of bias within it. If you don't like me gushing about Dracu-Riot, I'd suggest you turn away now. Also spoilerz. You have been warned] Nicola Cepheus is a dorm mate of Yuuto, suffering from a little severe case of chuunibyou syndrome, and is an aspiring dealer, working at a local casino. Contradicting her appearance, she's actually a girl. She hails from an aristocratic family of vampires from Europe. She wears manly clothing partly because of her admiration for her local visual-kei band, and partly because of her dislike of skirts and womanly clothing. As with Yuzusoft's extra routes, I expected a shot of pure mushy pink ichaicha SoL, and I got what I wanted. Nothing more, nothing less. It starts like any old rom-com, witha huge misunderstanding to get it all rolling. After mistaking Nicola for a male, after some sleepy mumbling on her part, Yuuto decides to sleep with her as she doesn't want to sleep in her coffin. It's so horribly obvious, it's downright funny. Anyways, in the morning, Nicola gets hot and starts to strip, resulting in this. After some funny thinking, an another misunderstanding ensues, as expected of a dorm full of girls hearing a girly scream. The whole beginning part revolves around this misunderstanding. This scene is some good-quality rom-com humor and I rather enjoyed it, even after seeing quite a lot of them. After that, Yuuto and Nicola start to recover their relationship, which is when Nicola realizes her feelings, and in come the rosy embarrassed girl talks. Honestly, listening to these was rather enjoyable, I very much enjoyed listening to them. Nicola is pretty adorable in these. The casino scenen in which Yuuto foils cheaters' plans was a very sweet scene. The pacing of this sequence is pretty spot-on for a route of this length, and Nicola's reactions aren't second-rate either. After a wholesome date of revelations, cute Nicola in a one-piece, food, bewitching and all that stuff, a confession happens, in which Nicola was supposed to be the first to confess, throwing her in a loop, which was too damn adorable. As they are almost kissing, Nicola's grand-grandfather appears, and the final part of this route begins. The datind part is a bit rushed, but that's to be expected. It covers a lot of ground, and rather admirably for how long it lasts. The final part is about Nicola not wanting to go back to her home country, now that she has ambitions, friends and of course a partner, and her grandfather wanting her to return. Honestly, this is your average motivational clash of beliefs. There's also some very nice comedic exchanges with Sayo and Nicola's grandfather. It's rather excessive with the stubborness, but overall it's a nice end to this shot of SoL. Also, I think Nicola has the best H-scenes along with Miu, they're pretty good, especially the After Story one. All in all, it's everything I expected it to be, but Nicola is overly cute, way more than I remembered. Good stuff.

Go and win Kawasumi! I place all of my faith on my old comrade before time

Yah, I definetly suggest you playing Rio's route first, as they have the same twist and Rio's handles that better. Thanks for the thoughts
-
It does, for a certain extent It's by no means a bad route, a way above average moege route But as always, just cuteness doesn't cover everything, sadly this route doesn't have enough positives like the dating portion and important story sequences to back the overly adorable cuteness up. It's a good route, but alas, still the worst Dracu-Riot! has to offer, which is quite a feat, I have to say
