Funyarinpa Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Still reading I/O Route E. Finally a properly long route (C and D were short). There are quite a few interesting things, but no new big revelations so far. So many questions, but a sci-fi VN is finally explaining itself explicitly in what is the true route, Quote

So many questions, but a sci-fi VN is finally explaining itself explicitly in what is the true route, Here's the good part Don't think you're done after E Quote
Funyarinpa Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Here's the good part Don't think you're done after E I know I have the A' etc routes left Quote
Decay Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I'm okay with a VN explaining itself, but the exposition could go on for a bit too long. Those opening scenes with Yayoi were so tiresome. Quote

grim_tales1 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Was playing a little game called Detective Grimoire, its kinda like Ace Attorney but seems pretty easy. Then my game crashed :x Nice game though and definitely one for AA fans, the main character does remind me of Phoenix in AA a bit because he is smart and sarky at the same time Quote
Lambda Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Still mainly working through Da Capo II. Finished Anzu's route, onto Nanaka's! Yay? Given Koko's route quality, and the fact that they're sharing so much of their story, I'm a little worried.... But I will say that I'm really enjoying the part of each of the routes where they're lovey dovey. Somehow I picked a route progression that mirrored my real life relationship, that was nice. It was actually really relateable? Yeah.... Quote
fun2novel Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I was always curious about the Da Capo series. How is it? Quote
TexasDice Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I was always curious about the Da Capo series. How is it? Da Capo 1 is bad awful, but Da Capo 2 is pretty alright. Da Capo 3 is apparently great, but not translated yet. Given Koko's route quality, and the fact that they're sharing so much of their story, I'm a little worried.... But I will say that I'm really enjoying the part of each of the routes where they're lovey dovey. You won't have to worry then, because you are getting exactly what you're asking for here. Quote

You won't have to worry then, because you are getting exactly what you're asking for here. Ah, thank you! That's good. I was worried I'd be buried in angst or love triangles again or something... Haha Koko route.. Anzu's route was pretty fluffy, though, so there's that... Quote
Down Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Doubt that's gonna happen anytime soon. Pretty sure Aaeru, the creator (I think? Pretty sure, anyway) of Fuwa, got a C&D letter from Mangagamer's lawyer after they found out that she was fan translating it, and it ended with her dropping it, and I'm assuming some agreement was made that basically went along the lines of "If you try it again, we'll sue your ass into oblivion". It's highly likely that they'd sue anyone else that would try, and the fact that they sent a C&D letter to a fan translator alone is probably enough to make it extremely unlikely that another group will try again. TL;DR: Don't hold your breath. If it's going to get translated, it'll only be through an official license. All of that was before my time at Fuwa, or at least before I got active if I had already joined (I was kinda not really there, since I could barely play any VNs on a Mac), so if anyone could correct any false information I said, I'd be pretty grateful. Aaeru IS indeed the creator of Fuwa, lol. Da Capo is still being translated officially by Mangagamer, in fact one of their core member and translators, Kouryuu, is the one doing it. It's just that the game is long as fuck so it'll take a lot of time for it to be translated. You can follow the progress on the translation status of the blog. Quote
Decay Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Aeru was only served with a C&D after she refused to cooperate with MangaGamer. They actually wanted to work with her to translate the game but her, uhh, eccentric political views and a bunch of other nonsense got in the way and a deal couldn't be worked out. Well, he's certainly correct in that you shouldn't expect it soon. MG is exaggerating DC3's length, it's not quite as long as they make it out to be, yet translation is still going at less than 1% a week. Kouryuu is taking his sweet time on it, which is odd since he's one of MG's few full-time employees. We can seriously expect it in maybe late 2016 at this rate. Quote
TexasDice Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Well, Down beat me to it. But I somehow knew, how that "yet" in my post was going to mislead everyone. Ah, thank you! That's good. I was worried I'd be buried in angst or love triangles again or something... Haha Koko route.. Wait a second, hold your horses and don't count yourself out of everything yet. While approach and tone are completely different, both routes do still share the same outline. To be exact: The love triangle square (four people!) is still there, but it's told differently. Also, you won't see any more "I love you, but I can't say it, because of bus/car/cowardice/various other interruptions"-scenes. Quote
Roach Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Reached chapter 7 of Chaos;Head. I kind of hope I didn't open Vokoca's spoiler about 'The hand' scene. Kind of predicted it beforehand, and I wasn't that surprised. It was still intense though, I felt the need to cover my eyes with my hand. Thankfully, Takumi did it for me. -_- Now, I think I will wait until weekend to play it again since I heard the game will crash if I saved in chapter 7. I think I will continue playing Neko Para now. Quote
hydro Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Re-read part of Grisaia. I missed the gang. Might start Sono Hana 6 next. Been a while since I read the first, which has the same pair of girls. Been a while since I watched or read anything Yuri actually. I need my saccharine, diabetes inducing Yuri love. Quote

Oh damn, sorry. Thought it was removed from context enough to not be a spoiler at all, but I suppose it does put some expectations in your head no matter what it is. Oh, also, one the topic of the translation-- playing the PSP version, I've noticed the first two chapter names are in English even in the Japanese version. Haven't gotten any further yet so I don't know about the rest, but it's probably safe to assume none of the chapter names were translated in the first place. Quote

I was at fault for opening the spoiler anyway >.> Yeah, I expected that. Chapter 4 is Di-Sword, chapter 6 is Noah, and chapter 7 is psychopath (with lower case). I wouldn't be surprised if these are the original Japanese titles. Quote

Haven't gotten any further yet so I don't know about the rest, but it's probably safe to assume none of the chapter names were translated in the first place. That would explain why only some of them were in english. Well recently it's been damn hard to start a vn, I have Tsukihime and Hanachirasu but can't seem to go through them for some reason. And after thinking a while I guess a medium-length fantasy(not necessarily fantasy, anything with a really interesting plot will do) vn should be able to get me back into the mood for vns. Some help in this regard ? Quote
Scars Unseen Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Just finished the Unlimited Blade Works route in Fate/Stay Night. I have to say that I like the way that each route builds off of the previous one. It doesn't waste your time re-explaining things you already know, and instead reveals new mysteries and clarifies things that didn't make sense in the previous route. Oh, and I've gotta say that it was pretty hilarious having both Shirou and Rin as tsunderes. I'm thinking of watching a couple episodes of the UBW anime before I tackle the Heaven's Feel route. Oh, and I got a nice wallpaper out of that route as well: Quote

Some help in this regard ? try utawarerumono (hope i spelled that right) or tears to tiara if you have not played them yet. Quote
XReaper Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 not sure if he´ll be happy with tears of tiara though, absolutely gruesome characters & zero developement, by far my worst experience Quote
FinalChaos Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I have already played Tears to Tiara. It had a lot of potential that it missed out on but it was good nonetheless. I especially liked it's lore. As for Utawarerumono, I was thinking for a vn without gameplay this time around. I looked around a bit and Ayakashibito looks good. Can anyone tell me about it, especially about it's tone/atmosphere ? Quote
Kosakyun Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I looked around a bit and Ayakashibito looks good. Can anyone tell me about it, especially about it's tone/atmosphere ? Ayakashibito starts out dark, but sort of lightens up after a while. The general tone is light, but it gets heavier as you progress through the routes. It's an action visual novel, so expect lots of fights and powers clashing with each other. You'll come to like the characters, no worries. Quote
TexasDice Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I am currently wrapping up everything I haven't completed yet, to reach glorious 100% everywhere: Kanon (Mai), Konosora (Amane) and Grisaia (Amane). If you look closely, you might see a pattern... Thought of the day: Konosora is fantastic. I keep forgetting that sometimes, thanks to Moenovel. 'reading a fantastic route here and I should be kicking myself for postponing it that long. @Eclipsed: I've seen you lurking around without something to read for atleast a week now and according to your VNDB, you haven't read Kira*Kira. Go forth and do it. Quote
Eclipsed Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Dat random tagging of me Yeah I took a break from VNs for now; been watching anime instead What's Kira*Kira about? Quote
