It's for the first Danganronpa. I didn't like the game, so I'm not buying more parts (I even asked for a refund of Danganronpa 1). To give something of a background, Virtue's Last Reward is one of my favourite games (note, not VNs) of all time, but Danganronpa doesn't even come close to it, for a variety of reasons. I've played most games by Uchikoshi, which were always above par (except ZTD which was a disappointment).

Sure it has. It helps that the H scenes are actually animated. A gigantic step forward from Knights of Xentar's mouth-only animations

Well, I usually go with Japanese VA, but I could tell for sure that Danganronpa's VA was under par. I'm more or less accustomed to native English speakers talking, but it seems the choice of actors wasn't very solid.

If you have enough English-listening level, why not? Though the original voice actors have their charm, too. I found the dub in Danganronpa the VN a bit poor, besides, I didn't like the game. Zannen.

Miniature models. I'm at a middle-low level at doing them, but I'll improve over time.

My advise with H scenes: find the ones that appeal to your fetishes, and scrap the rest. Maybe if you're inexperienced with sex or need some inspiration, you can try a lot of them "for reference".

Let Sekai rip off moe addicts with this game and others. That'll make way for more interesting VNs. That is the way of the world.

A long awaited VN gets released, but... not in the way we were expecting.

Depressing stuff... isn't that the fabled feelz? It can be interesting if you're in for some drama, but I agree it isn't always welcome. If you're prone to depression yourself I wouldn't recommend it.

The game is curious at any rate, and it's about the best you can get for 0 coins.

If you ask me, Rin is the central heroine because the game revolves around her that much (you'll understand when you play through Refrain and arrive at the answers). Especially in Refrain. The other routes (which apparently you haven't tried yet) contain romance but separate from the main story, for me Rin is always canon (because basically Riki can't have a harem, can he? Though that's not stated anywhere, plus you have this Kud "Wafter" game that's currently untranslated and serves as your regular Key after-story). She is the only girl in the Little Busters' original lineup and has known Riki since forever, so there's that. The other girls are just recruited by Riki for the baseball team. All of this is odd, but you'll get it eventually after completing the game because everything gets explained and falls into place.

Yes, there is that, but apart from one case (and of course Rin since she's central to the story) I don't remember that they appear in Refrain, and the contents of their respective routes aren't referenced in it. The routes are not pointless but they're not essential for the core story.

Refrain ties the whole game together, and it's centered around the classic lineup of the Little Busters (Riki, Kyousuke, Masato, Kengo and Rin). If you look at the game's structure when you have finished it, the girls' routes are separate from the core, but there's a certain girl that makes a noteworthy appearance in Refrain. There are no argumental ties between the pre-Refrain routes and it, with the general exception of Rin.

Uh, right... that's sad, and it isn't being addressed out there.

How are they censored?

They actually look more interesting now.

Um, yes, now that you say it I remember something like that.

You've got to clear all routes before going into Refrain, that in this case is Rin1, Rin2, Komari, Mio, Kud, Kurugaya, Haruka, Kanata, Saya and Sasami. A mountain of reading, certainly. Beware that I only played the base version, without the 3 extra routes, but I don't think that they'll allow to leave them by the wayside. Refrain is the true route for a reason :3 With a guide you will quickly tell this kind of thing. Enjoy.

Well, you see... Little Busters originally had no H content, so there's that. I know there's the Ecstasy version, but I'm satisfied with the base game (and of course in the Steam version we're getting the Saya, Kanata and Sasami routes). All in all, I don't think there's anything to miss dearly there.

Virtual machine with Windows 7 is your safest option.

Yeah, also there's a second route for Rin codenamed "Rin 2". It has some requirements, you're better off picking up a guide if you want to enjoy it to the fullest.

I'm sure you've played Rewrite, however, I consider the handling of the secret organisations more than a tad clumsy, in a lot of aspects.

Hi, I'm curious. I was looking for a bakeneko heroine, hopefully in a translated VN. With the sheer number of VNs out there, chances are someone has created this type of character.

I'm not sure we should regard Japanese otaku with condescendence, but that's quite another topic, honestly.

Got my hands busy with Clannad, but there are great odds that I'll end up buying this.
