Tempest Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 So with Little busters Ex on the brink of release (or at least i hope so.. it's on 97%) i'm wondering wherever or not i should either 1. play the original game which i'm sure is fantastic or 2. wait and play EX edition. The H scenes don't matter to me and i'm more into the story and well EX has 2 extra routes and i'm curious as to how they end. Thoughts? Quote

kyrt Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Or you can pick up a different series play that and wait a bit longer and before you know it Ex will be released...it really comes down to if you like H-content and if you have patience. Quote
TexasDice Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 So with Little busters Ex on the brink of release... Hahahaha. Quote
Eclipsed Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Read it now! Waiting for the whole package is overrated, there's no problem reading the core Little Busters! first and then picking it up again once EX is finished to read that stuff. Quote
Snowtsuku Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Is the EX translation still on the works? I suggest you play it anyway. IIRC the additional routes does not have much of an impact to the main story. Quote
n00bfish Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 I vote play it now. It's unclear to me whether the TL might be stalled, or just progressing slowly. But the team's twitter account is dead, and there hasn't been an update in at least a couple months, AFAIK. I like to have faith it will finish, but then again, I'm one of those poor fools who's also waiting on Miyako's route in Majikoi since approximately the dawn of time, so I've learned to just live in the moment, not get your hopes up, and just be pleasantly surprised when a TL finishes. The original Little Busters has tons of content as is, without EX. Quote
FinalChaos Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 You really should play it now. LB EX only has those 2 extra routes which you can play at anytime. No sense waiting for it, and as you know translation releases have a knack for getting delayed. Quote
Beato Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Play it now. The EX Routes can't even be read until after you have finished the old content anyway and there is an option to unlock them directly when playing EX. Quote

Vario Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Sasami route is one of the best in the novel for me, but there is no real point in waiting. But EX is definitely worth playing. Quote
Naoe Riki Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 well some part of little busters EX english patch has wired translation (saya's route,futaki's route........not sure if sasami's route has wired translation) But The other routes has no problem at translation except for the H-scene... Quote
Miulei Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 The EX routes aren't even unlocked until you play through the whole game, IIRC (and please correct me if I got it wrong), so I'd say just play it and someday, when EX is fully translated, come back to it. Little Busters is good enough to play a second time imo. Quote

Crayten Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 So does anyone knows whats going on with the Little Busters ME translations? Is it dead or should i wait for the translation to finish. Quote
Deep Blue Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Don't get your hopes high, it seems like they are not planning on releasing it any time soon(it looks dead and it's been like this since month already) Quote
SoulJustIn Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 hope not dead , ........... ever if dead ........ play it now , it worth Quote
LinovaA Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Yeah if it dies just play the original. I might be crucified for saying this, but if you want the EX routes.. you could always watch the Little Busters EX OVAs instead. Of course, I would only suggest this if the translation dies of course. SoulJustIn 1 Quote
ExtraMana Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I'd play Little Busters but I haven't seen the anime yet. Should I watch the anime first? Quote
Vokoca Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I heard the original routes also are rewritten to a certain degree in EX - if they really do improve on them, then it should be worth it to wait? I'd play Little Busters but I haven't seen the anime yet. Should I watch the anime first? No, don't. It's not a bad adaptation per se, but it's no KyoAni. Go for the VN, the anime would only make the experience worse. Quote
LinovaA Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I'd play Little Busters but I haven't seen the anime yet. Should I watch the anime first? My recommendation ALMOST always is read the VN first when it comes to this kind of deal. I mean, you could watch the anime first... I did. However I kinda regret doing that after going through the VN afterwards. I really wished I had gone through the VN first as I feel it would have been a lot more effective. Quote
SoulJustIn Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 yeah , i agree about read vn first . Quote
zoom909 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I always watch the anime 1st if I can. After the anime, the corresponding game feels like an expanded, more in depth version of the story, which can now proceed in different directions. You feel like "that was a good show, but now I want more" On the other hand, once you play the game first, then you notice everything the anime has left out, and flattening the tree-shaped storyline is rarely done in a way that is everyone's favorite. But if you see the anime 1st you would not have to worry about that. Quote
Miulei Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 When it comes to "do you read the vn or watch the anime first?", I think you should watch the anime first. Simply because after reading the VN, the anime usually comes off as disappointing. But if you watch the anime first, you can appreciate it on it's own instead of as an adaption of the VN. Quote
FinalChaos Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 The vn first definitely. The vn does a lot of foreshadowing throughout and also in the other routes. If you see the anime first then the ending would be spoiled and you won't be able to understand the significance of everything in the game. I generally only see the anime adaption as a summary of sorts for the vn. Not to mention that most of the adaptations are pretty bad. Have heard that the first season of LB anime is pretty bad and the second season is ok/good. Quote
