I liked symphonic rain for the strong story elements, and a narrative that didn't go where I expected it to. The breakup of visual novel reading with the piano minigame was a welcome distraction, as well.

I hated the same face.

I'll tell you now from experience, there's nothing good. Forget good, there's nothing.
But there's a goldmine of stuff if you're willing to machine translate.

>>344349073
I don't really think it belongs with adventure games, but I can see where that idea comes from though. If VNs are adventure games then they would play similarly to the investigation portions of an Ace Attorney game.
Visual Novels are in an area between Video Games and Books, but it's different enough from both to be it's own category completely.

VNs often have standard gameplay elements though, so it makes more sense to classify the genre as games than not.

Gameplay elements as in choosing an option once in a while that might impact the story? Can that really be considered gameplay?

So it's the same as Telltale games.

Sengoku Rance different from most other Visual Novels. If you wanna call visual novels like Sengoku Rance a video game, then yeah, go ahead, because at least it has gameplay. But the typical Visual Novel doesn't have that at all.

>So it's the same as Telltale games
Not quite, you seem to overlook the fact that I still called Visual Novels books. Telltale games aren't books. Hell a lot of people even argue that a lot of the games made by Telltale aren't even games on their own.

Quite the opposite actually, I know that those types of Visual Novels exist, I've played a few myself. But what I'm talking about is visual novels as a whole. Visual Novels that include actual game play aren't what I'm talking about. Like I said, if you wanna call those VNs video games, then yeah, I'll stand by that. But the typical Visual Novel isn't like that at all.

The real thing I want to get at is, should we really be categorizing Visual Novels as Video Games or Books, and not is it's own storytelling medium separate from those two?

The thing is that they're all visual novels. So it doesn't work to make a blanket statement that "visual novels are not games" when even if you do consider choices and basic interaction to not be gameplay, all the VNs that do have gameplay and obviously are games without argument are also visual novels.

Can someone here give me a review of Castle Fantasia R?
I need to know if it's worth investing more time into.
I've played a few chapters, not any real porn so far. I really like the difficulty though. Fits my level pretty good. So far I would recommend to anyone who likes "semi old SRPGs" with lewd in them. It's in english too.

Wanko's first act builds up the world and characters pretty well, but during the second act it breaks down into the main character fucking every cute girl in sight.
You might be into it.

Hey, there was this one visual novel I once read named Princess Eris. It's about you picking one of three succubi to marry and attempt to have a baby with. Years ago, I looked for translations of the VNs for the other two girls. Does anyone know if translations/download links for the VNs are out there?

Because the Rance games aren't Visual Novels which is why for instance 2ch thinks it's hilarious when someone posts our VN recommendation chart and they see Sengoku Rance on it.

Alicesoft do not consider them VNs
Japan do not consider them VNs
>>
>>344361459
>Is there any group that accepts commissions to translate things?
There are many, although they are expensive and their speed of work is often suspiciously slow. It's almost as if they have job or studies to do at the same time.

"visual novel" is a rather pretentious category in general
Eroge is a lot more honest
>>
>>344361942
But what if it doesn't have porn?
>>
>>344361628
There is enough "textbox with an image of the person speaking" in it for it to be called a VN by western standards. While the image is only a secondary feature this is pretty much the defining feature of visual novels. Maybe a location picture in the background as well.

>>344361942
People ITT are free to talk about non-erotic visual novels as well.
>>
>>344361942
Explain how it's pretentious.

because western standards are retarded. Then look at Rance III or Rance IV.

By that logic Megaman Battle Network is a VN
>>
>>344362234
Because it's used often by the same group of people that say kamige or EOP

They are, in many cases, yes.

>By that logic Megaman Battle Network is a VN
I haven't played it so I wouldn't know, but if you spend considerable amounts of time reading while there's no animated action then yes it is. By western standards of course.
>>
>>344362812
Shit if that's the case, is Cave Story a Visual Novel too?
>>
>>344362595
Isn't it the other way around? "Visual novel" is an english term and the people who use terms like EOP and the like /jp/sies would use japanese words instead?
>>
>>344362429
Isn't Rance one of those series they have in that category on vndb where list out ambiguous stuff and whether they belong or not?

https://vndb.org/d15
Yeah here it is.

I honestly haven't played any Rance games, but if they're similar to Beat Blades Haruka, then they should qualify as VNs by the western definition at least.
>>
>>344362812
But Rance games bar the exception of Rance IX and Rance 01 (which clearly fits an adventure game - a category that has existed in the west for decades) have far more gameplay than reading.

>>344362812
A standard that only exists because people early on in the west were highly ignorant shouldn't be used anymore especially since they're not useful in anyway.
>>
>>344363075
They're not like Beat Blades Haruka.

Rance is an rpg series.
Haruka is a VN nukige with some very minor and shitty gameplay.

Alicesoft themselves keep their 'gameplay' games and their other games (like Haruka) distinct.

>>344362980
It begs the question if games with a lot of animated cut scenes should be considered animated movies
>>
>>344363303
>Rance is an rpg series.
>Haruka is a VN nukige with some very minor and shitty gameplay.
Oh okay.
I don't know why it's counted as a VN then.

>>344363096
>But Rance games have far more gameplay than reading
I've only played Sengoku Rance, but that's not my impression at all. It may change later in the game but where I'm at I spend 3-20 minutes using my action fans. I get attacked someplace and spend another five minutes tops gameplaying, and then between turns I have to read about Xavier, one to three clans and often read a sometimes painfully long sex scene. That adds up to 5-40 minutes.
>>
Can I get something scary and if possible no nudity? gore is ok though
or a mystery VN kinda like whodunit?
i havent played many VN and I spend my time with RPGMaker games since most of them are horror games.
>>
>>344363580
Dungeon crawlers and SRPGs are often considered RPGs because for some reason it's not about roleplaying but about character sheets/stats.
>>
>>344362595
Not all VNs are eroge. Some have no porn, in fact several of the most popular VNs that exist have none.

People who through around the term EOP are plainly elitists. Japanese is simply not a useful enough language for most people to bother grinding out, nor is it worthwhile for most people to learn an entire other system of language so they can further engage their otaku hobbies.
>>
>>344363570
Consider this: If visual novels are games, then most visual novels would be considered "Role Playing Games".
>>
>>344342731
I fucking hate Japanese posters on 4chan so much.
>>
>>344363614
spend 3-20 minutes using your action fans.

How.
>>
>>344364001
Well they're just called adventure games in Japan. Do they have arguments over whether they're actually games, I wonder.
>>
>>344364389
Say I have three fans. If I do things like "improve relationship" three times it actually takes less than three minutes since, the text counts as "Visual novel". It's not a smart thing to do, I know.
For a more balanced and realistic turn I could be:
Fighting a battle = about four minutes
Clearing a dungeon = About ten minutes
Improving a relationship = About one minute

So in nipspeak a game like a modern LoZ would be an "Action Visual Novel"? Since Visual Novel and Adventure game is the same thing.

It is! You have the character sheet from the RPGs and you command your units to victory using strategy. How is it now an SRPG?

Good mysteries with twists that the reader hadn't considered are rare. Those sort of "hidden trick" and "locked room murder" take effort and authors that can actually write them aren't going to be in the shitty VN business except Dangus Ranpus but that story uses the game setting as a medium..

SRPG is a wider genre than "grid based, turn based RPG with multiple characters".
Just like RTS games aren't all like Starcraft.
Or all Dungeon Crawlers aren't like Etrian Odyssey.
