    Favorite opening movie in a VN

    It really shows how popular the SG franchise is, because it looks like bigger budget went into this OP's production than some VNs have a a whole. ^_^ Incidentally, I haven't read S;G0 yet, so I can't say how well it connects to the actual story.

    Budget? :makina:

    And there are 2 more of them.

    But my favorite would be the UBW and HF Op. 

    Any good imouto routes???

    Chrono Clock +1

    Best Imouto Route ever and I don't like Incest!
    But her Route wasn't really focused on the Incest part but more about something else. However Michiru's Route was the best in Chrono Clock and really emotional. I loved it. 

    Yosuga no Sora --> Didn't play it. But there is a sister route. But only the common route, Sora's (sister), Nao's and Kazuha's route are completely translated. 

    If you like Yuri, then I recommend you:

    Hakuisei Aijou Izonshou --> Oh, you already played it^^
    Love Ribbon

    Then you actually do get most of it. I was looking at the first one. On the other hand, the skip functions on android are stil notoriously bad. If you can dea with that there is no other disadvantage

    Didn't test the skip function at the moment but you can transfer the save data between PC and Smartphone. Therefore it shouldn't be a great problem, if the skip function is bad on Kirikiroid2.

    PS: You can also use the menu and extra with Kirikiroid2 on your android device.

    To answer your questions

    1.Time -> The fate route is the shortest, don't remember how short it was. Heaven's Feel was the longest. I remember It took me 20 hours and UBW was a little shorter than HF. Of course fate was one of the VN's I read when I started out so my reading speed was a lot slower than it is now.

    For the android version,:

    This is the 18+ version with H-scenes enabled, and no way to turn them off.
    Characters are properly voiced (except for the H-scenes, of course). However, there is no BGM. <- The reality nua BGM is the PS3 link which is amazing
    There are script errors where the English isn't grammatically accurate or the voice does not match the English text (IIRC this is also present in the PC Realta Nua patch, though in lesser quantity). There are also... some of the other kind of script errors.
    Since it's converted to VNDS instead of being run by the KiriKiri engine, you don't get the fancy menus that are on the PC version. The main menu has two options: read Prologue, or start the VN.
    This means save/load is handled entirely by VNDS, and it is not possible to transfer saves between this and any PC install you may have.
    .Auto-read is fairly terrible, as it doesn't wait for the voice clip to finish playing before moving onto the next line.
    The SFX and other features added by the Beast's Lair Patch are, of course, not present.

    The skip function is terrible, to non-existent so if you are trying to save at choices get bad endings and skip back you will have a terrible experience.
     

    On the PC ful size is 7gb. On the android the full install amounts to 1.10GB once uncompressed.

     

    If you can overlook these things then you can pay it on the android.
     

    Bro... I am really greatful for your help but you didn't even read my post and the guide correctly....

    For the android Version there are 2 different ways to play it on your smartphone.

    VNDB or Kirikiroid2.

    I am using Kirikiroid2 and I don't need the 1.10GB Fate/stay night version!
    Because I am using the realta nua Version for the PC with 7GB on my smartphone and you can transfer the savedata between your computer and smartphone without problems.
    Furthermore there is a BGM with the realta nua Version and it's working. 

    You have to use this part and not the one above: realta nua on android

    Play the reality Nua version of Fate NOT the android version.

    It is not something so simple as character routes. It's almost secondary. The Fate route does a lot of word building. It definitely isn't the best, but is something that should not be skipped. While it does deal with the relationship with saber, romance is completely secondary.

    UBW anime, overlooked 80% of the route. It's not good on its own, the only reason I watched it was to see my favorite characters in beautiful ufotable animation.

    Heaven's feel is probably the best route, at least it was my favorite. If you do plan on playing it, please do not watch the movies first.

    Fate was made chronologically, Fate->UBW->HF. You were not allowed to skip routes or deviate from this order. This was done for a reason. Many concepts introduced in later routes rely on understanding from previous routes. Events that happen in HF, are a lot more effective and comparisons and contrasts between the shirou of this route and the shirou of the UBW route can be made. This impacts your experience greatly.

    Having watched the anime, which almost feels like a string of badly executed spoilers, it will impact your experience of the first 2 routes, however enough has been overlooked or changed, that you will probably enjoy the VN regardless. And heaven's feel alone makes it worth it.

    Play this rather than rewrite because, rewrite+ will come out sometime next year, with better translation/additional routes and content, so wait for that. Also, the chuuni may be a nice change of pace from what you have been reading so far. (slice-of-lifey drama's)

    @Narcosis The sex in fate is very,very bad. The writer himself didn't want to write the sex scenes. In later games like ataraxia, some one else was hired to write them, and they were at least decent. There wasn't enough sex in fate that you could define it by the h-content though.

    Okay I will play all route's and take my time. How long does it take to finish "Fate" & "UBW" if I play 1-2h each day?
    Is the english translation in Fate/stay night average or very good? 

    Actually I am playing the Realta Nua Version on my android already xP --> Here is a nice GUIDE if you use Kirikiroid2
    Why on Android? It is easier... I can read the VN now everywhere as for instance in the subway when I go to the university and I don't always have my laptop with me. Furthermore it's uncomfortable to use it in the subway.

    The HF movie is a trilogy and until all three are out in EngSub it will take 2 years but I can't wait anymore.

    I will wait for Rewrite+. Thank you.

    I agree with Narcosis. Both of these VNs have quite a lot of SOL scenes. Rewrite is basically SOL in the common route, with little hints that something "grand" might be happening behind the scenes. And the common route in really long, comparing in length with Grisaia's common route, I think. FSN has a lot of SOL scenes, to the point that they actually get pretty boring at some points. And they continue throughout the whole story, excluding maybe the second half of UBW and the final third of Heaven's feel. Honestly, if you're tired of slice of live, I can't recommend either of these.

    To be more exact I am tired of the same typ of VN's like Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort, IMHHW, Noble ☆ Works and so on. Non of them has a good story. Therefore I am looking for something dark, nakige, thrilling story, a good Main Character .... etc.
    Rewrite's common route is just as long a Grisaia?

    I think Narcosis meant your average moege, since they are pretty much the same, using those sol tropes in really uncreative ways.

    But he have a point, saying you can't avoid sol completely. But maybe picking something more action oriented or with a really unusual setting and not your typical high school can make you motivated again.

    Or read nukiges. There's not much sol there bc there's not really time for that :P But I doubt that's what you're looking for.

    :P No Nukiges^^ I am not a fan of this genre.

    Yeah, I am getting bored of moege VN's and I am sick of them now. Therefore I was thinking to give a try with Fate/stay night or Rewrite but I am indecisive which VN I should read first. 
    Something with a good story, plot-twist, drama and character development but not a lovely school story with a cheesy-drama, cute characters and no story.

    But good to know, that I can't always/never avoid SoL.

    To answer your question: neither.

    And no, you can't escape from SoL. Every vn has bits of it, to a lesser or bigger extent.

    I'd recommend changing tastes for a while, playing less shitty games might help.

    You have to define what shit is and what isn't... I mean that is a subjective question and it's different from person to person. 
    But yes I should change the genre... And what is your opinion between Fate/stay night and Rewrite, if you played it because I don't know whether your VNDB list up to date or not.

    Hello :)

    Since last week I started to play Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort and IMHHW. 
    But I am getting really bored. I played 2 Route's in Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort then I stalled it and in IMHHW I am nearly done with the common Route. 
    However I have no motivation to finish it and I need something else with a great Story and an awesome Protagonist.

    Therefore I am thinking to play Fate/stay night or Rewrite (I heard that Lucia's Route is really good) 
    I liked Fate/stay night UBW because Shiro is just an awesome Protagonist. I also love his Ideal and Philosophie to be a Hero of Justice *______* 
    Furthermore there were great other Characters like Illya<3, Gilgamesh, Sakura and so on. 

    BUT the Anime was too short and it was a little bit too rushed.
    Is it worth to play the VN, altough I already watched the Anime and know whats going to happen? 
    Because I am looking for a story that captivates me with great Plot-Twists and an badass/awesome Protagonist. 
    I don't need a boring common Route...  with a lot of SoL and comedy because I am sick of it. 

    Also there are 3 diffrent Routes in Fate/Stay night:
    - Fate Route --> I won't play it. I am not a fan of Saber. 
    - UBW Route --> watched the Anime, is it worth?
    - HF Route --> I am really curious about this route. 

    But I can't decide between Rewrite or Fate/stay night. 

    PS: Isn't there a Android Version for Fate/stay night? 

    moenovel is releasing "A sky full of stars"

    I know I know...

    But I am actually curious about the translation and how much buchtered it is this time.
    I am not going to buy that game, because they censored the 18+ content and I don't know how bad the translation is<.< 

    I will wait for a 18+ patch and until then there should be already a cracked Version from "A sky full of stars".
    Seriously, if they want the west to support their games, then they have to give us a good product and not "SHIT".

    Any hamster wanna sacrifice himself? :ph34r:

    I'm quite curious about whether or not they took some lessons from IMHHW.

    Not me... :P

    I am also really curious but if we wait a little bit there should be enough Review's and opinions on steam, reddit and maybe on other sites.

    If we're talking romance, Key and minori are two studios to check out, by all means. 

    (weird thing that you didn't like Clannad. Did you get to the end, After Story?)

    No! If we are talking about Key than I am not thinking about a Romance VN but rather a Drama/Nakige oriented VN with SoL, Comedy and a little bit of Romance in some routes.
    The Romance part is too short in most of Key's VN's. 

    Clannad was boring. I stoped after the beginning of "After Story". Most of the time I thought: "Why I am playing these game?" 
    Because Tomoyo was the only girl, that was great. I hate Nagisa. She isn't my type and I don't like her personality. I already know what is going to happen in the After Story. Therefore I dropped it. 
    Actually I am a very family-oriented but I didn't like Nagisa... 

    Little Busters was much better than Clannad. Great Characters, good development and a nice dramatic Story. But the romance-part was too short. However it was more a story about friendship and seriously Kyousuke was the best Character. He was awesome!

    You should play ef. It's a little older, but the visuals are great and the story is exactly what you're looking for.

    Just look at this and tell me if it doesn't get your kokoro pumping

    Actually I am really looking forward to play minori's newest VN: Trinoline 
    I hope it will get released in the next 2 years. 

    The OP of ef - a fairy tale of the two looks great. *____*
    But isn't it more Drama/Nakige focused VN? 
    I hope it isn't something like Clannad... 

    After I finished IMHHW. I am going to play Hoshizora no Memoria -Wish upon a Shooting Star-, then the Grisaia-Trilogy and then maybe I will start with ef - a fairy tale of the two.

     Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort is a garbage moege. I don't know who recommended it to you, but you should probably kill them.

    Amatsutsumi may get release by sekai. (If you look at there trello page, they will reach out to the developers if it gets enough notice)

    It's really garbage. There is no Story and it's boring as hell. The Characters are okay, but I don't like the Main Character he is just average. Furthermore the Drama was really disappointing <.< 
    Therefore I was a little bit nervous to start with IMHHW because it's from the same Developer as Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort. 
    But the beginning from IMHHW was really funny and I hope it's a lot better.

     

    That would be AWESOME! I loved Chrono Clock. Great Heroines (Michiru's and Cro's Route were great and I cried a little bit. Makoto was also nice to play) and not a boring standard average Protagonist. I really like Purple Software new VN's. 
    I also read some reviews about Amatsutsumi and Aoi Tori. I am really looking forward to play those 2 VN's. Hopefully they will get released by sekai or mangagamer :D

    The anime for grisaia was highly compressed. A 50+ hour VN done in 12 episodes (every route was done at like an episode each). However it is enjoyable to watch after playing the VN. Just like you would watch the Fate UBW to watch an animated version of shirou vs gilgamesh. It is nice to see your favorite characters animated. Also the amane arc was done reasonably well for the time given. It probably gets a lot more hate, because it's just average and watching affects your experience of playing the VN which is very good.

    I already said that I don't really have the time for the Grisaia Trilogy. Because next month my exams are going to start in the university. 
    Like I said before, I am really looking forward to play Grisaia but i    f I start now with Grisaia then I will most likely get addicted because of Yumiko<3 and Amane :D

    I am getting bored of Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort. I am going to play IMHHW now and I hope it's a lot better...

    PS: I hope Mangagamer is going to announce Amatsutsumi or Aoi Tori from Pruple Software after they release Happymaher.

    Yeah, you should like Kono Oozora. Has quite a bit of drama at times. One of it's routes had the best finale for any route I've read so far.

    Also, I know you've watched the anime for Grisaia no Kajitsu. Still, I highly recommend that VN. I keep hearing the anime for Grisaia was crap anyways...

    I will play Grisaia next year. But now I don't have a lot of time because it's a very long VN and it's a trilogy. But next month my exams are going to start. 

    If I start now with Grisaia then I will most likely get addicted because of Yumiko<3 and Amane :D

    But seriously I am looking forward to play Grisai because Yuuji is a great Protagonist.

    Furthermore I am also hyped for Hoshizora no Memoria -Wish upon a Shooting Star-. Next month will be the 18+ Version released *-* I hope it's great.

    Are you talking about Kotori? I am actually more interested in her route. I mean Antisocial and Tsundere *-* But is the Protagonist in IMHHW good or just standard with no character development?

    So I have played a lot of VN's now. 

    - Chrono Clock --> was great. I liked the Protagonist. Michiru's and Cro's Route were awesome. 9/10
    - Koi ga Saku Koro Sakura Doki --> Loved it ^-^ Yuri was the best girl. 8/10
    - Da Capo II --> Was okay but most of the route's were not interessting and the common route was boring... 5/10
    - Da Capo III --> Was a lot better than the prequel. I loved Sara's Route and I liked Charle's. But the common route was boring. 7/10
    - D.S Dal Segno --> Stalled. I just played Hauzki's and Io's Route, but I loved Hazuki ^-^ Io was disappointing... I will play it later when I get bored. 
    I don't think I will ever try a game from Circus again... ^^ They are too much SoL oriented and the the Story isn't really good.  
    - Wagamama High Spec --> It was okay, but I was disappointed in Toa's and Kaoruko's Route. Ashe was great. 6/10
    - G-Senjou no Maou --> Wasn't actually romance oriented, but Haru's Route was great and I liked it. 9/10
    - Noble Works --> Dropped, was boring. There wasn't a Story and it is more a Romance/Comedy VN. 
    - Katawa Shoujo --> Dropped. 

    At the moment I am playing Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort and it is okay. I just finished Riho's Route and the drama was okay but... I am missing something. I don't know, the Protagonist is okay but not really great. The Story was okay in Riho's Route but it wasn't great...

    Before I started with Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort, I played Chrono Clock and it was awesome. The Heroine's were all great and I loved Michiru's and Cro's Route and there was a good Story. Also the Protagonist wasn't "your standard hetare Protagonist". He was amazing and I liked him. 
    Now I am looking forward to Happymaher. 


    I will start now with Nagisa's Route but I am looking for something better... 
    Is Kono Oozora ni, Tsubasa o Hirogete good? If you are looking for something with Romance/Drama and a Story (+ a good Protagonist)
