I think that the writer of SAO never intended for the series to be solely centered around Kirito and Asuna's romance which is why SAO II can be such a let down for people who were big fans of the ship. Currently watching the Korean anime, Winter Sonata. It has a weird plot with tons of twists, but mostly understandable. Most of the events are foreshadowed which makes guessing what'll happen next fun.

In addition to being a great franchise, the Final Fantasy games all have wonderful soundtracks.

Wait, what happens when fuwanovel.rip is down due to unforeseen circumstances? This does seem like a good idea though. Let our memes free!

I'll also vouch for eden*. It has nice visuals and a good atmosphere. The plot is simple, but carried out well. Hanachirasu, from what I've read of it, has an interesting plot that'll keep you engaged. Has its fair share of Nitroplus shenanigans.

Welcome to the dark side of the force, let your anger guide you to... internet guides. As Rooke said you've played through the game a few times, so it isn't really using the guide from the get-go. VN choices don't always make sense even when they should. And it's even harder to tell in games with tons of 'flavour' choices (I'm looking at you Majikoi).

This reminds me of that Adam Sandler movie "Click" where he had a remote control to fast forward (and I think rewind?) life. Let's just say it didn't always end well.

I'm pretty sure that the game will be voiced as usual. It's just that the Extra section with the Sound Mode and CG Mode are removed from the standard version tha FW is offering.

I've never really thought about this, but I suppose the exclamation point usually does add some aspect of excitement or happiness to a title name, while other times it probably doesn't fit the mood of the game*.

I think the reason that voices were cut were because of associated licensing costs with the voices which I suppose aren't an issue with Sharin. This is what is worrying to me. The things included in the extra mode are usually provided as per norms already. By removing what's already expected seems like a money grab. Any significant price difference for the DLCs probably over-evaluates the actual value of the content, since to make the standard and deluxe version distinct choices I would expect at least a $5-10 difference just for the CGs and Sound Mode. And if the price difference is very low, there's probably no reason of going through all the trouble of making the two versions and DLCs in the first place for a $1-2 difference. As for sexual content I feel like the exclusion is in part by the rules imposed by KS and Steam which are unfortunate. I totally agree that using sexual trauma as a central plot point is effective, but I'm worried that FW's attempt to censor/workaround the all-ages limitation will be shoddy.

I feel like simply removing the CG section and Sound Mode of the extras Mode is a very awkward way to make a distinction between a 'standard' and 'deluxe' version of a VN, especially if they're already considered to be normally included in any VN. I totally agree with Nosebleed that it would seem strange to have a large enough price difference between the two versions to justify the troubles of making two distinct versions with the options of DLCs. Of course we can't draw any concrete conclusions before actual prices are released, as those would be the deciding factor in justification. I do like the idea of making these games more modular. Being able to buy a stripped down version of a game, especially if you're not sure whether or not you'll enjoy it is nice. However it's easy to see this separation of content as a money grab which is honestly kind of frightening. Also I think that phrasing the full game as 'deluxe' is slightly misleading because in reality it's just what would normally be offered. As for the All-Ages aspect, it's to be expected considering KS and Steam rules. In my opinion the h-scenes weren't super important or outstanding in general. We'll have to wait and see how FW handles the whole scene that's integral to the story and Kenichi. Hopefully they don't just give an awkward roundabout description of the actual scene and instead find an interesting way to resolve the issue. I'm happy that this game is getting an official localization. Whether or not the localization is successful depends on how FW connects to the fans and adresses their concerns. Also, the pricing of all the parts will be important.

Currently reading Owari no Chronicle. It's interesting, especially with all of the super eccentric characters. I feel like even though I'm almost finished with the series I still haven't gotten used to how many gags (am I using that word correctly?) there are. Sometimes the plot is a little hard to follow, but usually not too bad. Excited to see how it ends. Reading lately has been pretty slow, but after I finish Owari no Chronicle, I'm hoping to start what's translated of either Hyouka or Oda Nobuna no Yabou.

How I totally feel whenever I obsess over a new title. Game looks nice though. I read a short summary and it seems promising.

Although I'm a new member myself, welcome to the forum. I also like your username since recently I've been studying a lot of astronomy related stuff due to school.

I thought that the beginning of Chihiro's route was a little less than half way through if you consider The First Tale and the Latter Tale as the whole.

Picked up ef after finishing eden* which was sweet and short. Only on Chihiro's tale though in ef.
