I feel exactly the same. I just can't leave any routes out of a VN even if I don't like them. Need to aim for that 100% completion and that is another reason why I save the best route for last, so that it will motivate me to complete the other routes.

I completely agree with you there. That's exactly what I'm doing right now. Saving my personal favourite for the last route to complete to help motivate me.

[TsukiBaka]

I tend to do my favorite first since I usually can't wait or that's the reason why I wanted to do it in the first place. However, I am pretty much the same as Nazim. I feel the need to do everything as a gamer and just as someone who simply has the curiosity I suppose. I'm very story driven, so VN wise, I need to know everything xD

Guys don't go too much off topic. It pains me to come here only to see the new messages to be about how you like to play your VN's :/

It's fine. It's marginally related to the game, and it's not like we post updates here anyway. All updates are posted on the website linked in the project thread. In retrospect, I should probably also update the project thread, but am so lazy.

I save my favorites for last or the "main/true" heroines. Because if I do my favorites first, I somewhat lose motivation playing the game again. I like having this long and constant "anticipation" (finally playing my favorite) of getting there but clearing the "obstacles" (my not so favorites) first. 

I felt this way when I played Majikoi S and saved Koyuki's route for the very last because it was the continuation of Agave route which is considered the True route of the original Majikoi.

I kinda have to agree you there.

I have played Grisaia no Kajitsu 3 times now and i always played either Yumiko or Amane last  The reason is that Yumiko is my favorite girl from the game and has the best route IMO (Amane's is close second) and i saved Amane for last because her ending is just so beautiful....

Spoiler

I shed my fair share of manly tears each time i finished the epilogue of her being sitting in the bus stop with her grandchild next to her and then peacefully dying after "being allowed to die" (the ones who played the VN will know what i mean). The final scene of her rising to heaven to see Yuuji who had already died few years back, while both of them looked like they did while they were still in school made me cry (i'm 20 FFS)  I don't think there will ever be VN that will top this in my list.

Should be alright. Even though I go to the wordpress, I usually look at the project thread first for updates xD I assume others do too.

Being the lazy idiot that i am, i usually just come here to see what people are talking about. If suddenly there are many "thank you"s i would guess that the patch is out. But until then, i usually just stalk around here.

i noticed that storyteller has disapear hopes he comes back soon. i wanted to know if dowolf has already started azumis route or if you at least have some of storyteller translation? thank for your hard work dont overwork yourselfs take your time

[Decay]

I believe Dowolf is moving on to A-2 for the time being. I suppose the fact that he did so shows that they still have some hope that Storyteller will finish the Azumi route.

If I ever learnd anything from VN, it's that appearences might be decieving. No matter how a good a character is, thers's always the possibility that the studio miss things up (the way that the proud Margit was treated...)

Basically how Minato Soft treated all the after stories in S. I still haven't forgiven them for that.

I believe they confirmed that if Azumi isn't finished (if Storyteller hasn't come back yet) by the time Seiso (A-2) is done, they'll go back to Azumi themselves. Let's all be patient :3

Also, got my Majikoi stuff from C89 <3 http://imgur.com/a/qLjtD

Lastly, sorry for offtopic, but this coincidence happened in an MMO: http://i.imgur.com/pFvBCvs.jpg xD

I won't say that they were horrible, but they were handled badly in some cases. I mean, Miyako leaving the love of her life, and all they can think about is sex? Come on! The only thing that I enjoyed was Kazuko showing skills in other things than sports, and was really cute in glasses.

They butchered Momoyo's route pretty badly so I didn't really want to play the others if that was how everybody else was gonna be treated.

[twdarkeh]

While I can't speak for the others, S almost made me quit wanting to work on maji koi at all, because everything but Koyuki was trash.

To me, the best route of S is... the common route.

I enjoyed discovering Benkei, Yoshitsune and a bit of Seiso.

Kokoro, Margit and Tatsuko were nothing more than sex fanservice in my opinion.

The beginning of Tsubame route was cool, until the tournament.

Mon-sama's was well developed storywise, but I'm not too fond of lolis.

And finally, I was a bit disappointed in Koyuki's,

Spoiler

because of the lack of developpement in the Koyuki/Yamato relationship. The story in this route is pretty cool, but it's note really a route about Koyuki, or so I think.

 

[twdarkeh]

Well, wairu did common, kokoro, margit, tsubame, monshiro, iyo, and kosugi; all we did was QC them, and even that was somewhat annoying. I was specifically referring to the ones we did from scratch.

I can't even imagine how agonizing it was. I agree with the masses in which S was really .___. I have high hopes that the A series aren't the same way. Considering Sayaka's route, it is enough to keep my hopes up.

-- I was really looking forward to Koyuki's route. I liked it, but it still was not what I had expected. Definitely could've done WAY more to it ._. I was hoping Koyuki was the one during Agave After, personally speaking.

Yeah I'm just finishing up S now (just have Koyuki to do) and damn, was it disappointing. Only routes I've legitimately enjoyed were Monshiro's (though the ending was hella anti-climatic) and ~half of Tsubame's.

Really hoping A is more like the original as far as storylines go.

I can't wait to read more Monshiro also. I'm not a fan of lolis, but I did like Monshiro. 

After reading Sayaka's, I'd say your hopes won't be destroyed! or you can just read Sayaka's first before further thoughts.

[twdarkeh]

Based on the total size of the scripts compared to the H-scene scripts(of which there are relatively few), A is much more story focused.

[MFrost]

Hooray! Wonderful
Having played Benkei's & Seiso's (more than once)routes, I can say that is true. Most of A is story focused regarding the heroine, haven't touched A-4 yet though.

I'm hoping with all this delay that A-5 is going to have some nice stories and animated scenes like Majikoi S... Speaking of which, where those subtitled also? I vaguely remember something to that affect, but I couldn't watch them or something...

I'm actually re-reading S right now, I'm right at the Bushido plan introduction....ahhh, so much fun. There hasn't been that many entertaining girls in some other VN's I've read lately...

[jetpack003]

I wonder why Majkoi! S turned out the way it did and why did they decide to make Majikoi! A in the first place.

I thought that S had a lesser budget than the original version but that wouldn't explain why they made A.

It was most likely really popular and they introduced many new girls that were also popular, thus giving birth to the whole A series. 

That would be my best guess.

[Decay]

I don't know what the budget of S was compared to the original, but I always imagined it was actually quite a bit higher. The animated sequences are actually pretty decent and those cost a pretty penny to produce.
