Da Capo 3 question

[Novel21]

I know Da Capo 3 are fully translated and edited, so what it's left now? and how long time until it get realished?

[mitchhamilton]

not sure how long but maybe withen the year. they still need to test it on both versions to see if itll work properly. see if it saves data, loads data, the cgs, sounds, sprites, etc etc works. itll come out soon, dont worry.

[Asonn]

testing (TLC, QC, proofreading, making it glitch free (this is what I think they mean with testing)) could be months

Doddler needs to port the game, so they aren't even at the testing phase.

Thank you for answer my question and I'm really looking forward to Da Capo 3 come out

Is da capo 1 related to 2 heavily? and 2 to 3? 

I've been thinking of reading da capo 2 eventually, if the story is separate from 1 and not related enough to make you feel lost reading it.

Da Capo 2 is kind of a redo of Da Capo, a few of the routes are very similar and it's overall a better VN, so you won't miss all that much if you just read 2. 3 is a bit more related to 2 as far as I can tell, but don't quote me on that.

Thanks flutterz! I'll just read 2 then.

The situation is as follows:

Da Capo is bad. Painfully so. General consensus says that Kotori is the only worthwhile route in it (excluding D.C.P.C and Nosebleed being a Miharu fanboy) 

Da Capo 2 is actually really solid. The only drop is Koko's route, because it's utter trash, but everything else is at least okay.

 

So most people recommend just reading D.C 2 right away, but I enjoyed it a lot more after suffering through one route of Da Capo 1, because there are quite a few tie-ins between the two titles.

Texas Advdice: Read the improved version of Kotori's route from the Kotori Fandisk and afterwards, go to Da Capo 2. That's the best of both worlds and more than enough to understand everything.

I would at least read Nemu and Sakura's route in DC 1.

Those two are the bad ones though.

Da Capo was mediocre but it wasn't really bad. It was siimply the very definition of average, so it's not a complete waste of time. Though at the same time it also took me months to get through it cause I kept going back to it and doing one route at a time between other VNs.

So at the very least it serves as a decent filler.

Maybe, but for the Da Capo world's history it wouldn't hurt to read them. Especially since the whole series revolves heavily around Sakura.
