News Japan runs out of protagonists; Kirito gets his own eroge (Kenseiki Alpha Ride)

Not sure what you're talking about there Nightmare. This VN has nothing at all to do with Kirito or Sword Art Online, so I don't know why you're going into arcs... sanahtlig is just saying they look the same.

Well, there was some talk about the protagonsist being his copy both mentally and visually so there is that. What I wanted to say that the anime was turned pretty bad with his base of a protagonist and thus we can assume that this protag might hav echance of dragging this vn down as well.

 

I mean cmon he looks like Kirito´s twin brother...

[Kelebek1]

Sure he looks really similar, but when character faces lack so many features, you're bound to get copies. Personality-wise though they're entirely different, and that's the thing which *IS* normally a carbon copy between characters. Shizuma has the older, stern type of personality. On the website it says "真面目で大人しい優等生."

 

He's only one of two protagonists anyway, and looks to actually be the (slightly) less-important of the two. So if you don't want to play him, just play the light side instead.

I saw some people in the HongFire thread speculating that the game may have a dual-route system, with a third route unlocking when the prior two are cleared.  I haven't looked over the the official site carefully to verify this, but that sounds like a likely scenario structure.  The alternative would be frequent switching back and forth between protagonists, ala Ikusa Megami Verita.

Trial's up. An awesome 26kb/s for me.

 

EDIT: Unity game though, can't hook it. T.T

Yeah it definitely works like that, you can see it on their website http://www.eternal-will.jp/alpharide/intro.html at the bottom, the true enemy will appear after clearing both stories.

Eternal makes decent games.  Even if it's just their usual, the game would be something I'd consider playing.  With the amount of development effort they seem to be putting into this title, this could very well end up being their biggest project yet.  I think there's reason to be hopeful.  If EGS scores are good I might consider breaking my vow to steer clear of Eternal's games.

The actual Kirito could use his own eroge. If it ever exists, it may very well become the best selling VN ever made. Not saying I would play it.

 

I would play it.

Not the greatest thing to hook, but it's a start...

I have been visual noveling for 10 years and I never experienced any problems with a game due to a hardware related issue. It's usually software related.

Am I the only one getting a driver error? I just need to game music to work. Tired of waiting for reps.. I'll just post a freakin thread so everyone can see this. I just fixed everything, nothing to worry about anymore.
