Undying Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 So, I've recently finished comyu and I thought that the game would be so much better if I didnt had to read Akihito stupid monologues, so I stoped and noticed that I dont know much VNs that use a third person style of narrative, can you guys recommend me some?

Okami Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 I don't think that such VN exist, at least I newer heard of one, there are some that have multiple protagonist but there is no VNs without one (If you know Japanese true there is probably something similar out there). That said protagonists as bad as Akihito are not that usual. Quote

Heizei_koukousei Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors and HitanaBokko are mentioned on the LemmaSoft forums for having 3rd person narration. But I haven't played them so I'm not 100% sure Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 There's some Western VNs that have 3rd person narration, I'd have to double check the titles before I listed them though. Â Alternatively you can just look through this list on VNDBÂ http://vndb.org/g902 Quote
Nerathim Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Umineko and Higanbana have a lot of third person narration and they are really good. Quote
Fiddle Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 If I recall correctly, Saya no Uta is third-person. Not only in writing style, either; the fact that they focus on a number of different perspectives is essential to the game, I believe. Quote
Decay Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 I was going to suggest Umineko. Sometimes they go into first person narration, but a very large part of it is third person. Lots of perspective switching happens as well. Quote
Undying Posted September 16, 2014 Author Posted September 16, 2014 umineko added to the backlog, but the anime sucked, is the vn good?    Saya and 999 Ive alredy played. Quote
Decay Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 The VN is excellent. I've never seen the anime, but everyone always says the adaptation was terrible. I'm playing Umineko now and it's incredibly entertaining and isn't letting up. However, I also can't attest to how much you'll enjoy it if you've spoiled the whole thing watching the anime. Quote

Nerathim Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 And the anime doesn't spoil more than the first 4 episodes anyways. (Because it's not only bad but incomplete too) Quote
