Guest Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 If there was one VN you could remove from memory and play again as to experience it again for the first time in your life, what would it be? What if we reduce those powers, what if it is only strong enough to reset one route you have played......which route would it be? sry cliche question Quote
Ryoji Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 GREAT TOPIC!! if only we could... It would defientely be Clannad. That VN was so amazing and emotional, from the story development to the Music to each amazing route. Absolutely the best EVER. As for 1 route, After Story without question. SOOOOO good. I wish I could go back and read that for the first time again. Amazing! Mei 1 Quote
HaruKaizo Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Clannad indeed, and Refrain route from Little Busters too. Damn, that was epic. Mei 1 Quote
Wahfuu Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 One whole VN? MuvLuv Alternative if I don't have to redo the other 2 games. One Route? Lucia from Rewrite, I'd say. (PICKING ONE IS HARD HOLY HELL) Quote
Ryoji Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 One Route? Lucia from Rewrite, I'd say. ooo good choice!! Quote
Down Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Er, I'm not sure. One of my two favorites I guess, Kara no Shoujo or Tsukihime... Probably the latter. But i'd also like to be able to rediscover Kagetsu Tohya, I didn't try to replay it yet but I think it has low replay value, and it was really a blast of fun playing through it the first time. Quote
InvertMouse Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 That would easily have to be the first Narcissu! The final scene, man. I want to experience it again with an unexpected mind (TUT). If Narcissu wasn't my first VN, I'm not sure if I'll even be here today. As in, on the forum, not like dead or anything . Quote
VN-Angel Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Definitely, rewrite. As for one route, I will go with Sora route in Baldr-Sky(I miss that awesome ride) Quote
Redgrave Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Fate Stay Night I have played the VN with some quite knowledge because of the anime and the movie but it's still great. But this time, i would like to play it without having any knowledge and experience that exhilarating and sensational feeling again. For one route, Heaven's feel FTMFW Quote
Eldin Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Little Busters. I liked it more than Clannad. If i could reset a route, it would have to be Hoshizora no Memoria's Asuho route. I really liked her story, but then again I am a sucker for childhood friend characters. Quote
Mikel Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I think I'd choose FSN or Hoshizora no Memoria. And a routo I'd like to reset... Unlimited Blade Works' route. It is so awesome, I kind of regret having watched the movie first, but it's just too awesome. Quote
Dizzyworld2 Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I would say Little Busters!. I accidentally spoiled myself the Secrets of the World, several character routes, and what happens in Refrain by reading wikipedia back when the english patch only translated the common route (I think?). I was little (around 13?) back then so please don't bash me OTL// I'm not too upset with spoiling myself as Refrain hit me hard. Rewrite would be my second choice as I spoiled random things like who Kotori really is and Lucia's haunting ability when it was released as I didn't expect the translation to be out this fast. But unlike LB!, I didn't know any spoilers from Shizuru, major part of Chihaya, Akane, and most importantly Moon and Terra routes. (although I had an idea what was going to happen as I saw the cgs) It's too hard to choose which route to read >//< (Edit) Actually, Probably a route from Hoshimemo... probably ***'s since I feel like I didn't appreciate the vn as much as I should.

torbin12 Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 If it was a whole VN, it would be Katawa Shoujo, I loved that one so much, and it would be amazing to re-read it with it being fresh and new again, one route....hmm...that one is tougher though, probably Ellis' route from Canvas 2, it was in almost every way just your standard, too cliche little sister route, but something about the Ellis character really made me like her. Quote
Metaler Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Haha, I was actually Diabetus' let's play of Metroid Fusion and, in one of the episodes, he and Beef talk about which games they would erase from their memories so that they could reexperience them. Ended up thinking about the same thing. If I had to pick a VN, it would be either Umineko, Sharin no Kuni, or Fate/Stay Night. Holy shit, I would so love to get all those feels again. Quote
BishiHOLiC Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Hmm if I had to pick one I would hope I could redo all of Higurashi and Kai (kind of need to forget both to enjoy it a second time hahaha). For over all first read impact that was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Now I find it boring whenever I try to reread them and it's been years :/ Tsukihime and Ever17 are worth consideration as well. If I had to choose one route, it would be Unlimited Blade Works in F/SN. Not trying to be an infidel but it was the only route I enjoyed in the VN, it was all sorts of awesome. Sorry F/SN fans. Quote
Clephas Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 To be honest, most VN's are best on the first playthrough, though others reveal new aspects on second playthroughs and remain interesting or are emotionally powerful precisely because you've played them before... I wouldn't be surprised if a good number of people here wouldn't be happy to replay all their games from the beginning if they were allowed to forget the content. Quote
InvertMouse Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I keep hearing Hoshizora no Memoria being brought up! Guess I have no choice but to check that out sometime B)... Quote
Tay Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 This is the coolest topic. I now feel the need to retreat into meditation and do some soul searching... Quote
Naraku93 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I would forget Kana:Imouto or Yosuga no Sora, ahh those feels! Quote
InvertMouse Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Not that I've played the game but I guess I'd be up for erasing my memories of those School Days bad endings and re-experience them again . Quote
jaxter0987 Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Rewrite since that's the only VN that I completely finished (Technically I still haven't gone back for the Oppai Ending but that's irrelevant). I absolutely loved practically everything about it.... I can't tell you how many moments I had where I basically went "If that's the case, then... OH SHIT! THAT'S WHY THAT HAPPENED!" If it was an individual route, its gotta be Hanako's route in Katawa Shoujo. The feels man the feels... T.T I had a similar thought about anime and my answer to that question is Clannad and After Story. I want to cry like I did the first time I watched them. Quote
Beato Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 MuvLuv Alternative definitely. I'm planning to reread it soon but to be able to experience it fresh again would be wonderful. Quote
