To each his own i guess. I feel more confortable on a laptop, but that's just the way i see it. Oh and by the way, i play VNs on a TV plugged on my computer, and sometimes on a laptop.

Nice post. I agree with most of what you said. I wouldn't recommend the 10 kanji a day though. I actually did that (i finished N2 at the time), took me 1 year and a half i think. Now i don't remember most of them . The thing is that when you get to 1000+ kanji, it become tiring to add more and review those you already know. None the less, it helps a lot to know the most common kanjis. As said above, the most important is to know katakana, hiragana and grammar (Tae Kim's guide is a great ressource). Then learn some kanji and read with a parser. Reading will be hard at first but you'll improve very fast and pick up vocabulary. If you can speak or write (make your own sentence is the main point ˆˆ), that's even better.

Laptop definitly. 1. At the same price laptop have better hardware. 2. A laptop will be more confortable for almost everything IMO (assuming we're talking about a windows tablet).

When i saw the title of your topic, i wanted to point out swan song, but obviously you already finished that. Here is some : Remember11 I saw you enjoyed saya, so why not those 2 nitro+ titlles Kikokugai Hanachirasu The issue with TLed VNs is that you'll run out fast (expecially if you are picky ). If you have trouble finding goods VNs, you might as well start japanese go untranslated.

Nice post, I'm giving chuning lover a go. So far nothing exeptionnal, but it's fun to read, which is what i came for so... Thanks for the recommendation ˆˆ. I'd like to have this post keep going for times when i want something to relax. I just finished vermillion the other day and i sure as hell needed that I'll add somes to the list : Akane iro ni somaru saka Appare tenka gomen Renka (from studio ryokucha)

I'd say do it before the true end. If you thought that her first end was sad, just wait for the second one, it's worse lol. I think we kinda agree that aya is the best girl in this game.

Re: lief art looks pretty good indeed, i dunno about story though Anyways, i'll just play the schwarzesmarken sequel when i'm finished with evolimit (not quite there yet lol) which i'm quite fond of right now.

*all age* nukige Really, i didn't think it would come to that when vn started to come on steam. I'm not interested anyway but still..

Well, what i mean by "there is no point" is that i play vn when i have some time to spare, it's a time consumming hobby, and i think most people have different play time. For example, i could play a lot for some time (well, not that much, but thay's mostly because work won't let me play as much as i want to), and then not play at all for 3 weeks.. To develop what i consider a good story you need at least some hours of reading material, which would create a difference between people that have time and those that don't. The concept is fun sure, it even reming me of a discussion i had with a fellow vn reader (the only one i know irl lol) where we just imagine the ability of entering a char route before the other lol. For example, in a video game this fact is not necessary a problem, because there is more audience and you can almost find someone to play with at the same level. What would you do if players can't find people actually far enough to interact with their story while keep the thing interesting ? It's not impossible, just really hard to implement and as you said before, really not for all people (considering VNs are a pretty niche market in the first place, you know what i mean ). In short, personally i'd prefer playing a classic eroge than this one, simply for the fact that i like to read at my own pace. I mean no offence of course, it still would be fun to see this project of yours see the light of the day, i may even try it lol. I just don't think it has a lot of chance of being what you want it to be when/if you release it.

1. I do not know, but back then the fan tl didn't feel bad at all, but i had obviously a lot less knowledge in japanese than now so, i can't confirm if the tl was really good or not. 2. No problem with extra Unlimited just set the new setting for alternative and kinda end in cliffanger, i can't say more about this (yes, spoilers...). Oh and don't expect a great game from the first one (extra+unlimited), while you MUST play it, the real game start with alternative.

But.. You might be able to steal another player's waifu in before he trigger the flag and watch him cry lol. NTR next gen Joke aside, there is no point really imo ˆˆ. As said before, vn are more digitalized books than games, you would have a lot of issues with writing a "dynamic" script for your game.

Agree on sakura no uta, really one of the best. I'd say swan song and baldr sky too imo. I think i could add some games from light and muramasa (from what i played, 4 chapters and a little from the first route, it's definitly one of them), but i didn't completed them yet.

Text hookers are great actually. I use them for games that are "hard" to read (mostly chuunige) with jparser / mecab, witch is great to improve on your japanese skills (mostly vocabulary). Of course you shoulnd't use the option that translate sentences to english, it's actually unreadable that way . You need to know japanese grammar, kana, some kanji and how they sound though.

I saw that one and was interrested in it, Hello, Lady was great after all I'm gonna play this a little before they release the sequel (if it is indeed a prologue).

Well, that's smee for you. I just despice the new art, god it is awful. The old one was so much better. I played friend to lovers back then, common route was pretty good with fun comedy, but once you go into routes... It's just painful and boring. It seems recurent in theirs games. I just dropped it because i couldn't take it anymore. I didn't play the game, but from what you said, it seems to be the exact sames flaw that theirs previous game had. I kinda have the same opinion as you on many points : 1 - Too much choices (really, REALLY annoying when you go for another route) 2 - SOL / Romance is pretty boring 3 - Drama is lackluster (not necessary a bad thing actually) 4 - Comedy is awesome though I'm not playing this, and if i were to play it, that would be only common route.

I presume it's because it isn't really well know around here, maybe because theirs recents games aren't so good... Those game are pretty old (not that much but still ^^, 2007 for akane if i remember well), i didn't saw that much people that played it. Akane-iro surely deserve a TL though, a good school / romance comedy with somes things behind the scenes, this VN just felt like an anime and had pretty good characters (Mistsuki-senpai was my favorite , but they played well the sister route and nagomi was fun). Pretty fun game overall, i recommend it despite the lack of animation (well, a 2007 charage ).

Yep, good to know. In short i loved eustia, so i should enjoy this game. Ty for your impressions on the game :).

That's a game i probably won't play ˆˆ. Still, there is no need to apologize, it would be stupid to force yourself to play a game you don't even enjoy. Now i'm not even sure it is such a good idea to dive in sen no hatou. With shwaezesmarken 2 incoming and vermilion that i still have to finish (so far, aria's route is just awesome, damn, victor is badass lol)̂, i'm not in need for another read right now ˆˆ. I saw one of your post some time ago, that i didn't comment, where you were asking if people wanted you to continue your review, it's a bit late but i'm looking forward to your incoming posts here each time. It help me choose the next vn to play. Anyway, have fun with your next read, i'll go to work now..

Lol, i was talking about eustia. I'm still playing balr heart (i couldn't play these last three weeks..) i think i'll finish it tonight. If i do so i'll try sen no hatou.

Ahah, i saw this coming ˆˆ. Fair enough, the main heroine was weak, i admit it. But the game was really good overall imo, best part was the 4th arc. Also about tayutama, i heard the first was a great game, but i have an allergy to lump of sugar since trying to play hello good bye, and it is said to be a better game than anything they produce now so... I'm not so confident about it being any good

I'm curious about sen no hatou, i didn't have time to play at all these last 3 weeks, it could be good to have your insight on this game. I'm hoping for another eustia actually (but i'll belive it when i play it lol).

Lol yeah, it's clearly a 100% bad end. I assume that she have another ending after clearing all other route since i miss one cg from her. Surely, Clephas will be able to tell you that soon ^^.

Totally agree with this review. As for the gameplay difficulty, i started in hard, and it was ok at first but past some point (near the end of mao's route), it become hard when you have allies on the map. To be more precise, there is a lot of ennemies and it take time to kill them, the problem being that your mates dies and it's game over lol. Boss fight aren't a problem though, i feel hard mode is the way to go for boss. I switched to normal at some point and now the game is too easy xD. Maybe i'm not dealing enough damage for HM. Anyways, the game isn't bad, i was really dissapointed at first (when i was in tsukuyomi's route) but now i'm in yuri's route and it's pretty good so far. I wouldn't say no to switch MC from sou to kou though ^^. Now i need time for finishing this game, but i have to work...

Yep, i can confirm that the story take place after sky (about 1 century later ?). Also, i don't really have the time to make a big post, but i'm in chapter 9 in mao's route and... really, it's pretty good actually. Don't read if you haven't read chapter 9 in mao's route (i'm still halfway though it, but still, it would ruin your enjoyment to know this) Anyways, i was kinda dissapointed with how the game started, but so far, mao's route is really enjoyable.

Hey guys, Actually playing baldr heart (currently at chapter 11), i have to say that's i'm kinda disappointed so far with the game. Gameplay side, the game is fun. It's obvious that the game was made by the same team that did sky, the gameplay feels similar. On the other hand, story is disappointing. It's not that the story is bad by itself, but it's sad to see how it was done. Here some thoughts about the game (contain spoiler): If anyone had impression on the game so far, i'd be glad to hear them, for now, i won't give up the game just yet, it still might be better than i think it will.
