Da Capo. What exactly is "Plus Communication" and how do I get my hands on it?

[Ryleona]

Ok so I actually read D.C. I-III recently and i keep seeing Plus Communication popping up, but I can't find ANY detailed information about it. What is it, how does it differ from "Vanilla" D.C. games(assuming it's some kind of patch, dlc or an OG entirely), and how do I get it?

As for that, basically it was just 18+ version of Da Capo with added new routes. I said 18+ version because before Circus made Plus Communication version, they did port Da Capo to the console with some additional new routes, and then port back those to PC with the new routes from console version along with new 18+ contents for the new heroines. Or at least that's what I understand here. As for getting that, if we talk about Japanese version there's more than one way to got that. But if we talk about translated version, unfortunately there's none so far because Mangagamer was only focused on regular version of Da Capo. Hope this'll be answer your questions.

PS - As for Da Capo 3, it was quite different that they released all age version first and then they'll rereleased that with the additional of 18+ contents with the name Da Capo 3 X-Rated.

Thanks is Plus Communication only for Da Capo, or does D.C. II have one/an equivalent? By that I am referring to more routes.

D.C. II also has a Plus Communication version.

Basically, D.C. and D.C. II were released like this:

1. Original 18+ PC release with about half a dozen routes.
2. All-ages PS2 "Plus Situation" release that doubles the number of routes.
3. 18+ "Plus Communication" release that includes everything from DCPS, plus H-scenes worked into the Plus Situation characters' routes.

Like SeinorBlitz said, most of those additional routes were OC's one. But in Da Capo 2 not all of those additional routes were OC's though, seeing that we got class president route, Akane's route, and Mayuki's route in which all of those three were also available at Da Capo 2 original version as side characters.

I can't believe I forgot Class Prez and Mayuki.

 

Poor (forgetable(Sorry it's true))side characters like them could use some love.
