The Last Melody Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 This is a very good VN. We need more like this, and like Period, Wind, Hoshizora and those kinds. Btw, if anyone knows of a good one that is like any of those, please PM me! Quote
nohman Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Any thoughts from those that have finished it already? Spoiler free, of course. Quote
Guest Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 What a coincidence~ XD How are you liking it so far? And how many hours would you say the common route is? I've heard it's pretty long. The common route is really long honestly. Probably at least 30 hours. My thoughts: I like our protag's sense of humor. None of the characters are flat. The characters all make me laugh in their own ways. It doesn't shove one singular emotion down my threat repeatedly like some VNs have. It's just great so far, and I'm still in the common route.

Nosebleed Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Not done with the common route still but the novel definitely has its share of comedy, i've had some good giggles here and there I'm really enjoying it, it hasn't gotten boring at all and it has mystery. It kind of feels like Hoshizora no Memoria all over again, can't wait to finish. The protagonist is not that generic either thank god, he has some common sense and has its own personality traits, teasing people and understand some of other people's feelings. I can definitely relate to his non-attachement to life. Quote
Mevvrynne Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 I've finished Shizuku's route and I'm about 2 hours into Honoka's, I'll probably get hers done tonight and start Kohaku's route. Overall, not bad, I can legitimately say I've enjoyed it so far. Quote

Guest madoka12345 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 I have to do both routes before doing the shinigami's route I am taking it? Quote

Guest madoka12345 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Yes. Guess it is time to control. Quote
Eldin Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 So true. And we really need more VN's like that I only liked two routes in that game, and the mare route ruined the entire thing. at the risk of invoking the wrath of steve, I have to disagree. Quote
Nosebleed Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Now that i've 100% finished the game i can give a complete impression. The story isn't too complex, like i mentioned before this is good for a quick read, that's about it. I feel like at least the 2 first routes focus a lot on h-scenes rather than a story and Honoka's route was probably the most predictable. There's nothing extremly outstanding about the novel but it's not really bad either, it's just one of those you read easily and get over it. Kohaku's route was probably the most fullfilling and that's probably what saves the novel from being extremly generic. The reason why i won't rate it badly is because for once it actually made me chuckle in various stances. Even with the amount of sex jokes It was fairly enjoyable that's all i have to say, anyone can easily read this. Quote

Well, I didn't like all the routes either. But I was thinking more about the atmosphere and the theme. We need more VN's with that kinda atmospshere. Quote
Giki190 Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Well im just coming back to visual novels only a few hours ago so I guess something that just released might be right for me I'll be sure to write up a full review when I finish it for anyone thinking about getting it Quote
Jiharo Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Just got my copy. It arrived not long ago so I'll keep it one side before I start reading it since I have other VNs to clear before-hand. Quote
meru Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Can anyone give me an idea of how long this takes to complete? I've put Grisaia on the backburner for now cos it's just toooo long for my current limited playing time XD Quote

I've put Grisaia on the backburner for now cos it's just toooo long for my current limited playing time XD The indicator on VNDB is rather accurate if you do follow the rate as which the characters speak. You can then from there gauge how fast you'll read it if you only follow the text. It took me about 25 hours to clear it cos I was reading it at a pretty slow pace and I follow the voices so I think you should estimate. VNDB says reading it typically takes 10-30 hours, and from what I read it, unless you ignore the voices. It's gonna take quite a while to finish it. Quote

It took me something around 10 hours, so it really depends on your reading speed and whether you skip the voices or not. Quote

I've put Grisaia on the backburner for now cos it's just toooo long for my current limited playing time XD You can easily finish this in 1/2 days. The first 2 routes end quickly, there's only ONE choice in the entire game and it's pretty obvious which choice leads to what route. After those 2 routes just start a new game and you'll be asked if you want to go to the common route or Kohaku's route, obviously chose the latter and just read until the end, there's no choice to make.

Okami Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Dude, there is no way I can say anything about this game without giving it away. It's a nakige, but If I go into the details I can guarantee you'll want to kill me later. Just enjoy it. Don't look at it like one of Key's games though... for one thing, it isn't very comedic. I don't recall laughing much during the course of the game, though I do remember crying. I remember it as an emotionally-moving story, especially the shinigami's path. I wouldn't realy label it as nakige becouse even true it has some sad moments the endings are still happy endings Whell at least first two are I still didn't play Kohaku Route. Quote
Eurobeatz Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 It's decent. I hate Honoka, but Shizuku and Kohaku are likable. Shizuku's route has been really awkward so far, I definitely hope that it improves soon. It seems like 90% of the common route is talking about sex, and while I'd normally label the game bad because of that, I actually find the comedy to be decent, better than Key's by far. 6.5-7/10 so far.

Pirkaf Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 It was quite short and quite enjoyable but nothing to write home about. Quote

I'd say the comedy elements are the only thing it has going for it. It has nothing else. Both the 2 normal heroine routes are predictable and focus a lot on sex scenes. Kohaku's is the best route and has a nice little twist at the end which i liked, it probably saved the VN too. But then again it's not some masterpiece Quote
