OriginalRen Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Let's all take a moment and talk about a good fucking visual novel, and I mean a good fucking visual novel. I haven't played a visual novel for over 2 years, and then Front Wing decides to go all "Hey bro, do you like good visual novels? Have some fucking cake son, and eat it like the disgusting pig you are." Visual Novel Fan Response: "But Ren! This game is just moe trash and you hate lolis to begin with. Such poor taste...Little Busters was rated a 4/10 for this garbage?" My Response: https://youtu.be/SpwBG2Dtpmk?t=304 Island. Play the demo, love the game. Ohara Rinne is the best thing since sticky notes were invented. I've already ordered both the Getchu and Sofmap editions of the game, and I can't fucking wait until Comiket 91 this summer when Front Wing gives me a shit ton of goodies and t-shirts. Seriously though... If anyone is in Japan, please let me know. Akiba Gamers, Animate, Sofmap, and Tora all have wallscrolls I want. Please help me, I will pay you my soul and all my money. Don't believe me? I fucking already waste my money on pointless weeb shit, so you can believe I'll waste my money on this pointless garage too. LiquidShu 1 Quote

Valmore Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Mastercard called and said they already fucking own your soul, bitch. Don't go trying to whore it out to someone else. The art does look nice, though. Is it in English? Because I can't read Japanese past "Domo arigato Mr. Roboto..." Mmmmmmmm... Mr. Roboto makes good sushi. Maybe I'll get that for lunch tomorrow... Hey, you get my message that I totally got the poster you shipped? Don't be a stranger - I kinda like you. In that, "This internet dude is pretty cool and I'd probably have fun hanging with him if we actually lived somewhere and not just over the internet and shit" way. Quote

Sorry, too busy fapping to beautiful VNs. @Down Quote
Decay Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 The overall response to the demo seems to have been somewhat tepid, at least among the handful of japanese VN readers I follow on twitter. I hope the full game delivers. FW is probably going to bring this to the west regardless. Quote

Game looks nice though. I read a short summary and it seems promising. Quote
Fiddle Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 This is Front Wing's best production since Makai Tenshi Djibril -Episode 4-! Quote

Decay Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Hollywood ending? What? Is that part of the anime? Quote
OriginalRen Posted April 19, 2016 Author Posted April 19, 2016 39 minutes ago, Decay said: Hollywood ending? What? Is that part of the anime? Talking about the conclusion of the VN in Rakuen. Everything that mattered is thrown out the window and it becomes its own stand alone game. If you think the girl's personalities meant anything, they do a complete 180 in Rakuen. If you like explosions, epic car chases, helicopter duels, romance, fighting, and broken hearts all told in compelling static imagery, this is the game for you! Also: Spoiler Kazuki (the professor) is alive and is working for some evil dude because brainwashing. She also has a grafted robotic arm like some sick Liquid/Revolver Ocelot hybrid. This game completely throws logic out the window. Also, Yuuji has a clone. He kills things. Quote

Granted that most moeblob art looks pretty similar these days, but is it just me or does that face look like it was ripped straight out of a KyoAni anime? And to be clear, I have no problem with that. The opposite, if anything. Anyway, still looking forward to this whenever Front Wing brings it here, which I feel pretty confident they will. Quote
Dergonu Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Not going to lie, I am pretty freaking hyped for this. Quote
Tenkuru Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 The trial was pretty damn amazing. Can't wait for the full release. Quote

littleshogun Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Island. The first thing I knew it was from moogy tweet back at April's Fool. I kind of curious why this new release was worth to be include as a part of April Fool in regard of translation (Normally it should be good to gather some attention I mean), and from this thread and VNDB staff list I understand why. Well, maybe from Conjueror post all of you was already knew, but the writer for this game was also Himawari's writer, and one of the CG that post here remind me the drawing from Himawari remake and it turn out that the character design was also responsible for Himawari remake character design. For the opening, I think it was good. As for the seiyuu, the most senior one here would be Yukari Tamura, although for 2 other heroines I see the seiyuu also had some experience in term of voicing characters at many anime. Since this project is Frontwing 15th anniversary and all age to boot, maybe they'll prepare it for the Steam. I mean well they already tried that with Sharin localization right now, so I think it's nothing wrong by trying to do that with their own VN in the future, right? Well, I'll see it later, and as for expectation, hopefully Island full version would fulfill everyone expectation (Although I won't play this though for obvious reason). And for a little OOT in response to Ren Grisaia topic, I think just Kajitsu would be fine and if we want to knew our Yuuji a little bit, then Meikyuu would be a little necessary I supposed. But if that game considering as trilogy, well I had slightly doubt about that. Well, if we compared to Grisaia, hopefully here Frontwing wouldn't introduce supposedly posthumous character that revived in future sequels because the request from the higher up or something like that (I'm looking at you Kazuki). And obviously hopefully Frontwing would only need one game to develop all story in Island, although if we look from the writer it should be possible, although it may need fandisc though. And for everyone who could read Japan, good luck and hopefully Island satisfy all of you. Quote
Funyarinpa Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 How much is it okay to pay for an Ohara boob mousepad Quote
Kawasumi Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Yeeeh, ISLAND looks pretty fucking great and it seems like nobody disliked the demo so far. Didnt play much into it because of muh backlog, but it sounds awesome. Quote
OriginalRen Posted April 20, 2016 Author Posted April 20, 2016 Fuck the Sharin no Kuni thread, let's talk about Island some more. All aboard the hype train: Conjueror 1 Quote
wyldstrykr Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 i will only hype the the game is all ages and all ages in japan also...... but they add the 18+ later then no thanks, my hype will go to dc3 Quote
Ayana Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Am playing the trial right now, and yes so far it reconfirms that Goo is just the best all over again! Full game hype is real. Quote
kyrt Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Honestly if Frontwing brought this to the West I'd buy it. It looks like it could be interesting. Quote
