Eclipsed

Dw, it's on my backlog, and probably the next VN I'm going to read, but it may take some time since I'm hiatus-ing from VNs

Otomes are great, screw consoles vs. pc / mainstream vs. niche; everything should go multi-plat so we can all play on whatever we have and then have mucho fun discussiono's on the forums. I use my Tabby for the portable VN reading, because yes, not being chained to PC while reading a story is smex.

Oh yeah, TGIT, though since there's finally no skoo -> no stress I'm taking them for granted I'll be a bit preoccupied with work and PAAAARTTTYYyy and Trails of Cold Steel however, so my presence on the forums might diminish. A bit.

Trails of Cold Steel is pretty fun, it's my first JRPG with school-life elements (inb4 "go play P4G scrub!!!" comments; dw soon ) and so I'm pretty excited to get to bond with the other members of Class VII and go on missions and explore the world together. A huge plus is the amount of detail put into making the game's information organized; your Notebook has legit all the information you could ever want to look up as you play the game; there's a main storyline diary that details Rean's activities, a neat quest summary/tracker, monsters & character/NPC bestiary that you can build on via battling more monsters and talking to new NPCs, and of course, a log of all the Tutorials that I skipped over because too lazy. Btw, you know my love of tsun-tsuns, so you can probably guess who I'm gonna have my eye on Alisa ~~ Only minor, minor gripe so far would be the lack of JP voice option, but the EN dub is actually pretty decent

Prob just someone's birthday,

Kirito will forever be overpowered, and soon enough, Asuna will forever be underpowered

Bad news, Senran Kagura completely bombed on me. Guess I'm not in the mood for mindless ecchi atm so I'll get back to this one day Good news, TRAILS OF COLD STEEEEEEEEL. I was supposed to go Trails in the Sky first, but right now I'm a spoiled brat who can't handle pixelated sprites

Looks cute. Though, I really oughtta play the real dungeon crawler with boobs, Dungeon Travelers 2, that's been collecting virtual dust on my Vita before getting this

Enjoy it while you can, Route B's all about dem high skoo SoL, and try not to be an impulsive hero-wannabe and get Watase killed :3

As the most recent victim, I also heavily, heavily recommend skipping Alfheim

This looks cute as hell, and hoh' boy, a full 5 stars huh

That's some epic first world problem sibling crisis shit right there, Dice.

Got the Sirius End in Root Double. I'll get the other ends some other time, I think I'm gonna take a break from VNs for real now, I'm simply exhausted from reading ._. ~~ Root Double: Before Crime, After Days is a complete story. It starts off as 6(+3) characters being trapped in a nuclear research facility meltdown survival scenario with plenty of mystery building via WTF IS GOING ON, but don't worry, you'll get all the character backgrounds, their upbringings, and their motivations you could want via flashbacks, and all the world building, societal Communicator vs. non-Communicator sentiments and BC telepathy-empathy lore infodumping you could ask for in later routes. Though having all of this information to cover can make this VN feel quite longwinded at times, in the end I can definitely say I appreciated it. Root After: 7/10- Covers the nuclear meltdown scenario. Pretty standard stuff, but enjoyable nonetheless: elite rescue squad captain Watase wakes up as an amnesiac newbie and has to regroup and survive with his squadmates and some civilians. The fun part is that like 12 of the bad ends will be all about you making him do an impulsive, stupid spur-of-the-moment hero-wannabe thing and then dying because of it. Questions upon questions will pile over one another as the group desperately roams the facility in search of an escape route, 3 missing students, and the ever important AD- radiation protection medicine which only lasts 1 hour per dose. Will they make it out alive? Root Before: 6/10- Covers the everyday life of high school student Natsuhiko a week prior to the nuclear meltdown. Snorefest at times; I came into this VN for mysteries and shenanigans, not SoL!!! Natsuhiko's just a normal somewhat spoiled guy who's best friends with Yuuri, a shy girl who suffers from PTSD, never to leave the house; and Mashiro, an energetic bubbly girl who comes over everyday to cook for them. Wait, they're not normal, they're Communicators- people who have varying degrees of ability to telepathically communicate with other people. Oh yeah, and another cute stoic gal nicknamed Salyu just transferred to their all-Communicator school and joins their merry band. They live out their days normally, but the peace is eventually broken when several ominous things happen day by day which eventually ends with the crew infiltrating the nuclear facility and thus unfortunately getting caught in the disaster as well. Root Current: 10/10- for the first 5 seconds, 3/10 for the rest- It's pretty trippy for the first 5 seconds, but afterwards it's essentially a recap of Root After, with a touch of revelation medicine here and there. Root Double: 8/10- What's great about Root Double is that you'll go into it knowing (or going to know) everything; every characters' beliefs, backgrounds and motivations leading up to their predicament; everything about their current society, the Communicators, and everything about the very nuclear facility they're trapped in. There's no more mystery, so you can just sit back and enjoy watching the cast make their thrilling final push towards the finish line. Or die trying. Overall it's a VN that offers a solid amount of enjoyability: you get a route dedicated to trapped-survival and mystery building, another route for high school SoL and more mystery building, a short recap route for revelations, and the finale route which ties everything together quite satisfyingly. The mysteries themselves are nothing too special when you think about it, very often this VN will hype up a mystery and then fall flat with the revelation ie. underwhelming, but they're still entertaining and will manage to keep your interest for the most part.

Bingo! Eclipsed doesn't exist, and you have been fruitlessly racing against your future self!@# I'm a heretic that never watched ninja turtles, so idk :< B> Uni Conquest fandisc Most memorable moment: UHHHHHH, the day I made that Happy Thanksgiving thing, or did my Reflections blog? Favorite moment would be when I went rogue and tried to get the FuwaChat onto the front page Fetishes: FRILLSSSSS Who are you? Not as much as I miss Peekachu. WHY'D I USE THAT THAWNDER STONE, DAMMIT!!! :3 cuz dey hawt NEVARRRR, (PINK) TSUNDERE-PETTANKOS ONLY!!! A hero! ..Probably something in the electronics engineering or industrial automation field. I'ma build an army of Clipsy-bots to take over the world!!

I've put in 6 episodes of Senran Kagura. Pretty average all-girls ecchi ninja stuff, but it was a good way to ease myself into the franchise for my eventual spamming of the games themselves Oh, and I definitely have newfound appreciation for @Nosebleed's sig :3

Yumina's great. You'll have your merry band of eccentric heroines and Ayumu charge their way through the Student Presidential Campaign all while enjoying their various banters The gameplay combat mechanics will appear convoluted / confusing as hell at first, but it's actually pretty simple once you learn it The VN is long. My last save file for it clocks in at 68 hours. Though, you might be able to get away with < 30 if you absolutely minimized grinding & dungeon crawling and went for story only

Holy shit that's some BS,

Sounds unpleasant. Guess I should be glad I have a pretty chill relationship with my nee-san. We used to be like cats n' dogs when we were kids, those were dark days, but somehow we mellowed out once we got older. Now she'll drag me out of the house every now and then so I could carry all the arts n' crafts crap she buys, but in return, I get food!! \ /

Made some progress in root double, but i'm about to sleep now so I'll finish later I like how they were able to expand on the BC lore enough to have this type of conflict introduced this late in the game, it satisfies my qualms about Root After's WTF ending pretty nicely. N is truly a scary thing.

To do list this summer (3 months / ~12 weeks) Happy Month (5 weeks) Finish Root Double (1 week) Finish The Irregular at Magic High School (1 day) Sell my soul to Senran Kagura (Anime + Shinovi vs. + Estival Versus) (2 weeks) Finish / Replay Hyperdimension Re;birth 3 + Hyperdevotion Noire (1 week) Megadimension Neptunia VII Steam ver.

The only reason Rooke would care about Myspace so much as to warn the public here when nobody here actually has one (100% guaranteed) Is that YOU HAVE A MYSPACE, GRANPA!!!!

Texas has officially evolved into stereotypical get-off-my-lawn-shotgunner Texan with a heart of fun.

FLUTTTERZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

For the ignorant (5.5k meme: League of Legends drama where a team owner to a player was like "WHY U NO SIGN MY CONTRACT, I OFFER U 5 POINT 5 FKING K / MO SALARY) Anyways, 5k posts, yippee. I've never actually done an AMA here before, so now's the perfect time I guess. Also might as well do a shoutout Apologies for anybody I missed, after Finals and all my brain's still fried. jkk i hatechu allllll @Kaguya-hime "Kaguya-hime-sama" "Kagu-chan" "Gu-Gu-chan": we don't rp as much anymore, but just know that I still and always will have utmost respect for you :3. It's like, hardwired into my mind to fawn over you~ @Zenophilious "Zen-chan": Sachi, you're like that one quiet studious kid who's just doing his thang, it's cute to see you chime in various threads, and of course see you always so diligently one-man-armying them double posts . PS I'll read Fate/Stay in 2027 - 10 + 1 - 2, dw. @Tiagfromverela: Huh? I could've sworn I typed this guy's username right.............. anyways, it's a shame that you actually feel bad when people lash out at you for offending them when it wasn't your intention, you were quite entertaining in your prime. Likewise though, I'm still a lot fonder of you than a lotta other Fuwamembers. @solidbatman "The Salt Knight" I wasn't gonna add you because you could care less about being mentioned in some spammers' spam amiright, but I pulled a Two-Face and flipped a coin. Because it's all, "part of the plan". Anyways, continue your Fuwa History / Reflections thingy sometime, and keep raking in the salt! @Decay "Dark Knight": Yes, I intentionally added Bats just so I could put Decay right after and give him the Dark Knight alias. I've mentioned it several times by now, but you're the best VN-oriented Fuwanovel member, and I am a fan of your work. Keep it up @Fiddle "The Fiddler of Diddlers and Riddlers": You're that one guy in that group of friends where everyone's chatting and babbling away with you being all quiet, biding your time, then when you finally say something, everyone laughs. It's magical. @Fred the Barber "Bob": I feel like I've been talking to you the most around these forums lately, with getting you interested in CodeRealize with dat hat and whatnot; you're a swell guy. Sorry for getting you to splurge every now and then @TexasDice "Elina Fanboy": <- sorry, is all I see you as nowadays <GODDAMIT WHERE'S AN ELINA EMOTICON WHEN I NEED ONE>. I'll read Kira star Kira one day... @Rooke "Brooke-ojii-san" Not revealing name for the purposes of not offending anybody via comparisons and for the sake of 'everyone's special', but I consider you the 2.0 of a certain other member. You're Oldier, Intelligentier, Wittier, Funnier, and Snarkier. -ier all across the board @Funyarinpa : You're in that sexy rebellioius high skoo teen phase where parents suck ass with their internet/game restrictions, potential friendship/relationship drama, and also feel ehh with the studying and homework. I've been there, done that. Despite all the crap, you gotta keep your head high; the absolute worst thing you can do right now which will lead to uber regrets is fail classes and push everybody away. @Dergonu "Derggy-chan": Ehehehehehehe I'm gonna ea t you during Round 3 ehehehee. You're a fun comrade to have around the forums :3 @Stray Cat: "SC-kun" Sorry I never emailed you when you PM'ed the Fantastic Five in that one last ditch effort to connect with peeps before your death. Online relationships aren't my thing, anymore :< @Shikomizue: Just like how I saw Rooke as a 2.0 of some other member, I see you as 2.0 Stray Cat, dunno why. Anyways, I'll be free this week so let's play that thing of yours sometime! @Ceris "La-da-da my name's Ceris and I luuuv collectin' CARDS n' being da best!" - (REN's Ceris Video impersonation): Our differences in interests mean we don't encounter each other much on these forums anymore outside of the sporadic times I'm in the Anime thread, but I'm fond of our LL time together. Still think you're insane (godly?) for having endured (enjoyed?) LL for so long though. OR: "Run": Bless (RIP?) his soul, wherever he may be with his 9k figurines. It shouldn't have escalated like this ;-; @VirginSmasher: We don't talk much, but you'll forever be my KnS buddy . When KnS3 comes out, let's have lots and lots of funtime! @Flutterz I totally didn't type your name first, then deleted you to place you later in the list so that it hides the fact that you're still my all time favorite Fuwa member, and then forgot to readd you, nope. The Youngins: Valmore Kawasumi Kiriririi Arcadeotic ... and any other 0 < x < 1k posters, because damn me for being too lazy to look you all up amiright: You guys are the new bloods of Fuwanovel. I expect, over the next 3 years, for a new Solidbatman to be born from you lot. A new Okami. A new sanahtlig. A new OriginalRen. A new Decay. And a new Tay. You guys are the future. :3 ~~ Feel free to AMA!
