What are you playing, /vn/? I'm hyped for Maitetsu and playing Evangelie for the moment.
>>135814730
Kamidori. Getting kind of sick of it to be honest. Thankfully I'm nearly finished, just gotta finish up Emelita's route. After that I 'unno. Guess I'll just fuck about waiting for Tokyo Babel and Root Double.

Are you done? Who did you pick for most of your choices?
Followed the advice of the anon from 3 weeks ago, and now I'm reading untranslated moege atsnail's pacewith a pretty decent understanding of what's going on.
Farewell, my EOP friends. I'll come and tease you with the hottest kamige once my skill has improved beyond moeshit.

You poor thing. It's not going to get any faster and you'll feel like you've wasted a massive amount of time without amounting to anything.
>>135816952
But he'll be able to read as much moege as he wants and moege are the only reason to even read VNs. Doesn't sound like a waste of time.

I think it's becauseAlt Sumika used her powers to transfer her there or something, that's why she was thanking her.

What VN has the best OST?
>>135819682
C+C
>>135819682
Umineko has a pretty good one.
Holy shit, I just realized something about Emiya Shirou. People on /vn/ and other communities just don't understand him, and what's amazing is that that's written into his character. "Not even once being understood.", a line from his UBW chant, in the future we know he ends up becoming a hero who is never recognized by the general public. He struggles with the desire to be a hero and help others in the face of crushing reality and the knowledge that he'll never be able to bear such a harsh weight but triumphs and continues his belief knowing that the process of attempting to do good regardless is what matters, while also accepting the potential sins of it all.
Nasu is literally a goddamn genius.

Yeah the sprites and animations are the best thing about Noble Works. The interim frames made it hard to make crops though.
>>135823323
Yes, it has been three years since the last volume, and it seems its gonna a full VN so they can conclude it, if 2ch isn't lying, i hope they keep hibiki, rather than the fucking nips who want to see more takeru so they can enjoy the suffering for some fucking reason.

Why is Archer so shit compared to Shirou? What the fuck happened?
Shirou is nothing special and his np isn't particularly strong but he still got shit done. Why is Archer such a washed out shitter?

Maybe they want to test the Western market before releasing something as big as DI.
>>135826928
But DI is probaly the most hyped vn in the west (apart from maybe Type-shit). I doubt that they would risk that good reputation by publishing a inferior game first.
>>135827186
"Buy Senshinkan first or we won't release Dies Irae!".
>>135827306
That's not how it works.
Is rewrite good? I got like 5-10 hours in before my pc died and lost all progress
>>135827306
Sure, because trying to blackmail your audience totally won`t backfire
>>135827417
>on rec chart
>top 10 on vndb
>posts in this very thread praising it
>IS IT GOOD GUYS XDD
These Reddit posts should be perma bans on sight.
>>135827417
Some of the routes of the 5 girls are alright, one is absolut shit, but Moon and to some extent Terra as well are great.Lucia still best grill
>>135827480
>top 10 on vndb
That doesn't really mean much.
>>135827425
"Licensing Dies Irae is going to cost us a lot and we want to make sure the Western Market is ready"
>>135827480
I mean muv luv is the top VN so VNDB really isn't that great for judging quality
>>135827613
Great, now you not only get shit for trying to blackmail the audience, but also for trying to do it without them knowing.
Also, the whole Idea of testing the market for fucking Dies Irae with something like Silly faces is retarded.
>>135827613
It's their own game, why would it cost them more than Senshinkan? If anything they'd make a loss bringing over the game that no one even has heard about except hardcore VN fanatics. You get them addicted with your best most hyped game, then release others, is how business works.
>>135827794
Well, translating DI would still be a huge expenditure. I think that`s also the reason we can rule it out regardless of any other circumstances, it simply won`t be ready so fast.
>>135825519
It's obviously Hatsumira, they even made the ero optional for the Steam release
>>135827758
>>135827794
I'm not a marketer, but if I had something consumers really want, I'd hold it in hostage for as long as possible and make as much money as I can with the less important stuff.
Think for a minute, if they release DI first, people are just going to pirate it, play it, and stop giving a shit about the company. If you release the silly faces first, those who want DI will buy it to "support" you. If the game is a success it's great, if it fails, you still have DI. It's a win-win situation.
>>135827972
Dies irae seems childish and filled with cliches, why do people praise it like the second coming of christ over muramasa?
>>135828079
Moogy-dono-heika-sama praised it, so it must be good!
>>135827972
Not when you have four fucking translators/editors on it, of which one is Conjueror. Just because current incompetent companies take years to localize/translate something doesn't mean it's normal.
>>135828079
>seems
Maybe you shouldn't judge something while having zero clue about it.
>>135828079
As an european languages only peasent, this is of course based on what other people said, but it seems to be great regardless (or rather exactly because) it is written like a twelve year olds power fantasy.
>>135828072
But there is also this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvW1BnENwl0
People would buy Dies Irae so that they get even more of the same shit. After that it is easy game selling them almost anything just because one or two of your games had a good reputation, see nasu.
>>135828178
I still don't get the moogy meme
>>135828267
It just seems like another fate shit night but with nazis
>>135828359
>it is written like a twelve year olds power fantasy.
kek
People seriously don't know what DI is and judge off vndb screenshots, it's hilarious.
>>135828267
>four fucking translators/editors
How does that even work anyway? Translating stuff isn't like maths, two persons won't always get the same results because of their writing style and shit.
>>135828464
Well. that was pretty much what you hear in the Thread anyway. I think it is more like crazy modern version of ancient mythology with a lot of pretentious shit thrown in, but that is just from a few scenes from jewtube.
How accurate is what Conjueror wrote anyway:
Because you have to be pretty hardcore into VNs (and reading in general) to even attempt reading it as a foreigner. It has the biggest split between median (85) and average (80) in egs of any VN I know.
It's inaccessible because it's hard to understand, extremely slow paced, and prioritizes fancy prose and literary merit over being fun. An average Japanese gamer who is into moe will never get past the prologue because it's too dense and tiring to read. People who would hate it usually can't/don't read it to begin with, so you don't hear many bad opinions. People who love it, meanwhile, get so captivated they can never shut up. :p
I imagine a lot of people in the western scene would go "?????????????" if DI actually got translated since there's nothing like it in the west (imagine FSN just 5x times more pretentious and long-winded -- and ppl already complain about that game being slow). Besides, I had to read DI twice to be confident I truly understood it, and it's like 80 hours long. It's an amazing work I respect for all that complexity and depth, but I'm not sure how good it is at actually entertaining people.
>>135828079
>Dies irae seems childish and filled with cliches
Dies Irae is one of the most intelligent eroge out there
>>135828643
Conjueror is the main translator, Gare is the editor. Not sure what moogy and Haro do, but I guess they give input. Some lines can have multiple interpretations and you have to get pretty creative about localizing it, so having multiple people give opinions is helpful.
>>135828670
If you only read VNs it will go over your head. It's a VN for people who like VNs and real literature, which is pretty awesome if you're into that (I am). "Literary chuuni" would be a good description.
>>135828670
Conjueror thinks FF13 is one of the best rpg ever and that GoT is the best thing that happened on television
You shouldn't care too much about what he says
>>135828963
>GoT is the best thing that happened on television
But it is. Well, apart from Doctor who.
>>135828963
>Conjueror thinks FF13 is one of the best rpg ever
Never said that, he just said he enjoyed it and gave it 5 stars. But he gave nearly all Final Fantasy's 5 stars, the more you know.
And GoT is acclaimed for a reason, stop being a special snowflake.
>>135829207
I should have dropped it after Ned Stark died desu
>>135829207
>Never said that, he just said he enjoyed it and gave it 5 stars
5 stars being the best rating
>And GoT is acclaimed for a reason
So is Twillight or 50 shades of Grey
I've been reading a Song of Ice and Fire since well before the TV series, nevermind that the books get pretty shitty after a Storm of Swords with Dance with Dragons being downright horrible shit the TV series manages to be a completely shit adaptation, badly acted and badly filmed
If you think it's the best thing on TV you obviously never watched anything good
And FF13 is pure shit but that goes without saying
>>135829267
Funny how he was one of the few actor who actually gave a shit
>>135829267
>not watching it for pic related's wild ride
>>135829456
>So is Twillight or 50 shades of Grey
No, they aren't. Popular =! acclaimed.

I am on the road to ascension, you can stay in mediocrity for the rest of your life or join me, the chosen one who will enter the JOP realm.
You're going to see me years from now, reading the lastest kamige while you cry in a corner re-reading kusoge like Fate and Chaos;Head crying, wondering where all the good translations went. Then I will shine above you, and give you one more chance to enter these pearly gates where you can read whatever you want on your own terms ! WILL YOU ASCEND WITH ME PEASANT ?
>>135836589
Kill yourself JOP.
>>135836589
Um there have been more translations released than ever before lately and it will only continue to grow. Soon all the kamige will be translated and there will be nothing else worth to read.

>>135845713
Why? What value does she have other than loving the MC? She literally does nothing.
>>135846408
She is literally the only likable character in the whole story.
>>135846954
But the story itself is unlikeable

Every heroine has her own role in MLA, and that's Sumika's role.

>>135852312
That's the main reason it's disliked here.
>>135852312

>>135841608

>>135841608

Seriously though, if you liked muv-luv, why? What parts made that awful pacing worth it?
>>135819682
Saya no Uta is my favorite.
>>135853361
I'd still care for her.
>>135853260
>Awful pacing
What parts had that awful pacing? What does awful pacing even mean? It's lately been used here and on /a/ as a synonym for "I don't like it".
>>135853549
The parts seem to drag on and on and on, with flashbacks that could be significantly trimmed down, and even scenes that could be entirely cut out. I'd have to re-read it to tell you exactly which ones, but it certainly did NOT need to be as long as it was.
The ending hive scene was terrible. Like 1 hour long max. They could not have been more lazy. "Just kill everyone off with a cg or two thrown in guys, we're done with this shit let's get paid." 10 minute dialogue with the beta mind and that's that. Wow great novel.
>>135854101
I agree with the final hive part, it seemed somewhat lazy to cut in to what's basically the center of the Hive, but it did not ruin the entire VN for me. I don't even remember there being that many flashbacks.
The only arc that seemed to drag on was the coup d'etat arc, but in retrospect I see why it was necessary.
>>135854101
wooow, you're so cool hating on the popular things for no good reason, aniki.
>>135854820
It was just a huge letdown for me, I could see why people enjoyed it but I was expecting a huge payoff at the end to make my experience of a 6/10 VN be worth the top spot at like 9/10 it's at on VNDB.
Instead it was mediocre and none of the events even mattered because haha alternate universes who gives a fuck. Just very disappointing. If I had gone into it blind without any hype maybe I wouldn't be so salty.
>>135854862
Fuck off retard, why would I try to not enjoy something.
>>135855582
>If I had gone into it blind without any hype maybe I wouldn't be so salty.
no wonder.
>that feel when your waifu is slut that already knows another man's cock
>>135856142
this is my fetish
>>135855582
The ending felt very much in the theme of the entire VN, which was love, duty and sacrifice.
Events that transpired mattered for the Alternative, as it should be.
>>135856142
do you hate it
>>135853260
I liked that it was actually able to make me feel like I was actually there, meaning that it had frequent action and emotion filled scenes, interrupted by somewhat boring yet heartwarming scenes.
The ending a shit though
>>135846386
Best girl gets a route, so yeah, you should go fucking play it.
>>135858224
Nope, I have a feeling it's going to turn out all alright.
Thank god that piece of shit Lise died
I hope Schwarzesmarken improves without her.
Has anyone read it?
Why do people watch let's plays of VNs?
>>135861501
People do this?

百合というジャンルにとても真摯に向き合って作られた作品だと思います。
百合にこだわりがあるであろう方にもオススメできる、ちゃんとした作品です。
先輩と後輩との恋。三人組みの友達内での恋や、先生と生徒の恋。
部活仲間との恋。風紀委員とロックな女の子の恋。
幼馴染で年下のお隣さんとの恋。
女子高生の主人公一人だけではなく、主人公の周囲にいる女の子達の恋が
主人公の存在を絡めて群像劇という形で綴られていきます。
様々なシチュエーションや設定、ストーリーが楽しめるので、
主人公一人に対して攻略対象を複数用意するのではなく、
こういった形に仕上げたのはとても好感が持てます。
奇抜過ぎる設定もなく、展開もごく自然に進んでいくので、
シナリオにはとても満足することができました。
絵も、エロゲー!というイメージの絵柄ではなく、
自然でライトな印象の絵で作品に良く合っていたと感じられました。
若干の苦言を呈するならば、フルボイスではないという点と、
他のレビュアーさんも書かれているように、
同じ場面のシナリオを繰り返し読まなければいけない点。
群像劇という形で、それぞれの視点から語られるべき想いがあるのは
当然な事なので後者は致し方ないとしても、
こんな良い作品なのだからフルボイスで楽しみたかったですね。
内容自体が良すぎるために、その点だけが心から残念に感じました。
それでも、ハイレベルでまっとうな百合作品であった事には間違いありませんし、
本当に満足できたので満点評価です。

Thanks for reminding.
Alright, sorry for blogposting, but I wanted to get some things off my chest regarding MuvLuv.
I've gotten to episode 8 in Alternative so far, and it's been reminding me a bit of SteinsGate with the plot and all. However, Extra and Unlimited really failed to attach me to the characters and the world in the same way that the first half of SteinsGate did, so right now it just feels...dumb.
Theconstant CHOMP gore flashesseems like a cheap way of eliciting an emotional response for a character that I was never that close to in the first place. Not just that, but I've spent at least 30 hours on the series so far, and it feels like it's been literally constant build-up. I know I'm probably on the cusp of actual action happening, but I hope that at the end I won't be bitter at all the time spent on an unsatisfying, slow-moving plot, though seeing other people in this thread say they didn't like the ending does particularly instill me with confidence.
Wondering if you guys felt similarly,and sorry again for the blog post.
>>135891960
blogposting is fine.
>>135891960
Don't worry, you've a lot left.
The ending is not that bad but try not to spoil yourself if that's possible in any way.
I played every girl's route in Extra and perhaps that's why I got attached.
The build-up so far will be very worth it very soon, I never knew I could be that invested in a battle in a visual novel, nor that it could be as intense as Sadogashima which you'll hit next.
Also, what's exactly chapter 8? Has Marimo already been seen eating out with another man?
>>135891960
Muvluv is overhyped crap by normalfags. If you don't like it now; it gets even worse with an absolute failure of an ending. The 'action' consists of people crying for 100 lines and then them dying in 5 lines (everyone dies btw, are you sad yet??).

>>135893672
Well, that's something to look forward to, then.
>>135894012

You can go any of them on any playthrough.
>>135899432
I went with Yuela then Serawi and Emelita last.
I enjoyed Serawi's route a lot because I'm a fan of nature shit. Plus the ending was bittersweet. Yuela's was the most boring.

>Bittersweet endings are shit
>They are just a lazy way to create impact at the end of the story
That depends on the story. A good bittersweet ending is about showing the consequences of the story, but also how the protagonist chooses to face them.
Saya no Uta's endings work, because they're earned. the game was never going to have a happy ending, but the sweetness is derived from the reactions of the characters, not the actual events of the ending.

Still salty this wasn't in any of the anime adaptations
Everyone has polarizing opinions on Grisaia no Kajitsu. As I am about to move on to another VN butI just have one question regardless if you dislike the GsK or not.
How does the consciousness of Michiru work/stack up? I wrapped up with her last and while I understand the two personalities I would like to hear some opinions on the real Michiru's psyche.
Starting with her base personality:
>Abused and inept, but good natured
>Still abused and inept but tries to make people laugh by hurting herself
>Attempting to continue this goal of making people laugh, she adopts a tsundere act.
Here is where things get confusing for me.
Is she intentionally doing a poor job at being a tsundere to achieve the recognition she desires in the form of people laughing at her? Or is she so inept that she sucks at being a tsundere - which is a source of comedy, what she strives for regardless.
If it were the latter, you think she would try to be worse in her act. From seeing how she behaves I think she honestly believes she is doing a good job, otherwise she would try to fuck up more deliberately. Yet it seems she does not fuck up intentionally. Which makes me again question - when she fucks up is that her core self failing to maintain/execute her act? Because with her intent to find purpose through being a clown, she should be able to see that failing is to her benefit. Those around her are more amused by her presence, not necessarily laughing at her. This makes it even more complicated. At one point near the end she claims the tsundere act was to amuse people, but what part was amusing to them? Which part was she faking?
>>135915570
Please take Grisaia discussion to the kusoge general. Thanks.
>>135915792
But Anon, this is the kusoge general.
>>135915570
Michiru is just fucking stupid.
>>135915792
>>135915892
>I don't like something!
Congrats senpai. I only see people jerking their egos and asking mundane and inconsequential questions. "Polarizing" as GsK is, the discussion itself is a character analysis. I don't see a lot of that in a general that is driven by prose, narrative and plot.
Lolis are for loving.
I'm glad Sena sorted her shit out with the father stuff. The route was getting worse the more it dragged on with the conflicting feelings. Haven't finished it yet, but loving Sena for my first pick.
>>135916153
>reading VNs for their prose, narrative or plot
>>135916009
I am sure of that, but there is something that bothers me in how much of the real Michiru is failing to uphold the facade. How would anyone be amused if she was a typical tsundere? She isn't, she is so stupid she fucks it up. She takes notes and talks to herself while she is failing to act tsundere. This is what makes her amusing to others, not the act of being a tsundere itself.
It's paradoxical and can only be one of two things.
1. Shit writing
2. Fuck meta and supposed to be obtuse
I am gonna say the former, but I still want to hear some input if someone would humor me.

Doesn't mean you can't discuss shit.
Literary=/=high quality, it's just a story. Even the shlockiest shlock has merits. Things aren't guilty pleasures unless you are embarrassed to admit you like them, you diminish them to assuage your ego and protect yourself from judgement.
Lots of self loathing here.

>>135916465
I think you're reading too much into it. She's pretty much just the gag character of the cast I didn't really think there was any obtuse meaning behind it.
Lolis are for being together forever with.
/lit/ here. There are no VNs I respect in the same way I respect novels (but there are a lot of shit novels out there too), but the Kiseki series comes close. Clannad is another good one. Most VNs are entertaining and focus on melodrama but have very little literary merit, like say Muv Luv. Then there's VNs that really could've been something great but then had to ruin it with the cringe worthy and revolting porn (looking at you Subahibi). Cross Channel sucks.

>>135917792
ずっと真紅といっしょ
>>135918829
Wrong board
>>135917620
Well the question I have is where the gag stops and ends. Is she aware that her being a bad tsundere is endearing her to others, or does she think that she is good at it and believes that is the catalyst?
It's not a question of meaning but intent. If anyone was to play the game again paying attention to my inquiry specifically, I feel the same question would come up if replayed.
The paradox of it makes me think it is intentional but that couldn't be the case right? She was self-aware that making a fool of herself made people laugh at her. She made the commitment that is how she would live. She was intentionally clumsy even if she already was. The same applies to the act she puts on. It really is the only fascinating thing in the VN to me. Only because they deliberately contradict facts to blur the line. It could be by chance, in which the result is the same. It fascinates me.
>>135918537
I was ok with it then, because she was dreaming. It wasn't until she started to realize it herself and was so sure that she was using you.
I need to finish this route now that that's over with.
Was BB1/BB2 entertaining enough for a playthrough?
What should I play? I feel like a moege, but I'm already read everything vaguely recently translated except Koichoco and IMHHW. Euphoria? Or should I get in touch with my feminine side and readAmnesia, an otome game?

I think that it is very sincere face each other made works in the genre of lily.
Can be recommended for those who will have to stick to the lily, it is a decent work.
Love with seniors and juniors. And love in a friend of the three men set, teachers and students of love.
Love of the club fellow. Discipline committee and the Rock girl love.
Love with a younger neighbor's childhood friend.
Not only one hero of the high school girls, the girls love that are in the periphery of the hero
We will spelled out in the form of a sculptured group play entwined the presence of a hero.
Various situations and settings, because the story is enjoyable,
Instead of preparing a plurality of capture target against one hero,
Was finishing in these forms can have a very good feeling.
Without setting too wacky, because even proceed to a natural expansion,
We were able to be very happy with the scenario.
Picture is also not in the pattern of the image of erotic!,
It was felt to have been well suited to work in the picture of natural and light impression.
If you exhibit some of the candid advice, and that it is not in full voice,
As also written other reviewer's,
The point that must be repeatedly read the scenario of the same scene.
In the form of a sculptured group play, there is thought to be told from each point of view
So of course things even as the latter is not be helped,
I wanted to enjoy in full voice because of a such a good work.
To content itself is too good, only that point I felt sincerely regret.
Nevertheless, we are no doubt in it was a legitimate lily work at a high level,
Perfect score evaluation because really it is satisfied.

What? They can't draw the art from scratch randomly.
And of course more content > less content
>>135958316
Depends on how involved the original devs were on it. At a minimum I would hope that the art would be done by the same artist that did the original, same for any voice work if applicable. If they could secure that much cooperation to make it work then I guess I'd be ok with it.
>>135958316
Depends. Do they have the original artist doing it? Also of course adding is going to be better than taking away.
>>135954629
>>135954716
Think about the genre. It is reading, not much to talk about except the merits of the story or characters. Everyone just shit posts, not talking about things. Posts are short and contain little substance.
Given all these facts, no one is posting because they are reading or don't care to because it becomes a means to stroke your ego. Posting pictures of shit you like and calling other people's posts or tastes shit.

Also, will the game end once I deal with this shit Miguel's starting or do I have a lot more? I'm not even level 50 yet, though I have 5000 renown, and I've heard that some people finish the game with like 4000.

Blog here again, I just finished theYokohama Defencein Alternative.
This game is fucking depressing. It looks so far likeliterally everyone is gonna die/get injured but then maybe a happy ending with humanity's victory?
But yeah, idk what it is about this game but it's making me more mopey than I usually am. I'm gonna get drunk and watch Nichijou and hopefully cheer up before going on what looks to be the final stretch, and I'll post my final thoughts when I'm done.
>>136015250
Just avoid this thread until you're done. You've only a couple of hours left.
Good luck.
we're so dead, do we have have some new release to talk about?
>>136013269
Uhh what on earth did you consider random in that novel? It was very realistic
Swan song is the only VN I've read that I would recommend to someone, the rest are pretty low substance escapism.
>>136015749
Tokyo Babel.
>>136015769
>Uhh what on earth did you consider random in that novel? It was very realistic
I'm not arguing its realism exactly, just that by the end of the story it felt like shit just happened because the writer needed it too rather than arising naturally out of the characters and their motivations.
I'd be ok if that was the point of the story and it was going for a "the world is a chaotic place and you've got to deal with it" type thing, but that was never really brought up thematically as far as I can remember.
>>136016260
Felt pretty natural to me. People are pieces of shit without the rules society enforces, I believe that was the theme.
>>136015250
>humanity's victory
Depends on how you define victory.
>>136015250
>But yeah, idk what it is about this game but it's making me more mopey than I usually am.
Probably because the change of tone in each part.
Extra was overly happy to the point of you want to vomit and cringe
Unlimited started having some serious things but was still a bit happy till the ending fucks you up
Alternative, then just slaps you with the harsh world that the Alternative world has too give you, that you will start to appreciate the extra verse even though it was shit
So /vn/, which you you prefer. Fullscreen or windowed?
>>136021060
Windowed. I like browsing /vn/ while I play.
>>136021060
Windowed so I can shitpost on /vn/ while reading
>>136021060
Fullscreen, I like to get immersed in the story and if im browsing /vn/ then that immersion is getting broken
>>135947509
What's Atom Grrrl?
>>136021060
For good games, full screen

How do you deal with the stretching when the aspect ratio is different from your monitor?
>>136021182
>>136021213
This
>>136021060
Also, fullscreen often looks horrible, you can literally count pixels.
>>136022326
Well when its an 800x600 VN I do have it windowed but I don't browse anything to not break immersion. but with a fullscreen VN like Grisaia or Kono Oozora, its a crime to not play it fullscreen
>>136022326
Who the hell stretches it?
Yeah there are black spaces left on the side but who cares about that.
At least it's less than when it's in windowed mode.
>>136022326
Doesn't bother me
>>136021060
Windowed when reading in front of the PC, fullscreen as long as it looks good when reading from the bed at night.
Forced aspect ratio if it gets stretched.

For example Chuee's group has been making steady progress on the title they are working on.
>>136026195

Man I could have sworn sakusaku was a little farther along than that. That makes me sad.
>>136029483
Won't be done for awhile, so I won't get your hopes up.
>>136029512
No translation takes four years. Also if people are payed that means they can spend more time, and do a much better translation in that same 6 month period. Just look at all of the Mangagamer titles they picked up last year.
>>136029697
Wait so are you guys doing that one too or just advertising another groups stuff to get the word out?
>>136029697
>No translation takes four years
What about Sumaga?
>>136029802
JAST is... special.
>>136029867
JAST has like 3 full time employees.
>>136029783
What, Sakusaku? I'm not doing that unless the translator wants me to check it after he finishes. I do the other project he's working on, and he suggested just throwing Astralair on his new site too so we did.
>>136029969
ah. well good for you people. Support each other.
That black haired chick from aokana gets along better with the edge lord from the other school than she does with the MC. She doesn't even feel like an heroine.
>>136015250
>>136015417
Well, I finally finished. Extra, Unlimited, and Alternative all in around 33 hours (give or take a few) over 4 days.
Honestly, I don't know what to think. Right now I'm leaning towards Alternative being a giant dissapointment, or maybe it was alright and the series is decent to good as a whole. Absolutely did not live up to the hype as well as Steins;Gate did, but maybe that's just me. I'll probably write a more detailed opinion tomorrow, after some much needed time for reflection...I fucking powered through this thing.
Oh, and thanks for all the encouragement, senpai.
>>136030660
And that is why you should never let hype build up your expectations before reading any title.
>>136030818
I tried my best not to and I don't think the hype I saw really affected me. It seems to me that most people really loved Alternative and disliked Extra and the final ending, while I didn't like Alternative very much (still torn) but I at least enjoyed Extra (I mean, it was pretty generic shit, but it at least it was feel-good shit)
and the ending to Alternative, although slightly unsatisfactory, was really cathartic.
>>136031438
The ending sucked dick I agree. And that makes the whole series shit imo
People acting like they're entitled to translations.
ayyyy lmao
>>136025178
all fan trans these days have either left the whole translation community or some who started working with a company to cooperate in localizing the VN's there translating
For those who's actually considering learning Japanese, just give up. Unless if you're gonna work for a Japanese company, Japanese has no other use and it will only waste your time when you can learn other more useful languages like Chinese or Korean. Don't bother, because the games will get translated anyways.
>>136031438
the ending to ALTERNATIVE was a kick in the fucking balls ,takeru staying there till he vanished would have been bit better ending

>>136034485

who would in their right mind would work for a japanese company that works their workers to death?
Also if you do learn japanese then your best best on actually making use of it is to either work for a foreign company based on japan as an employee/interpreter or just jew the shit out on affiliate sites, and overprice everyone who hires you.
>>136035318
>just jew the shit out on affiliate sites, and overprice everyone who hires you.
goyim please
>>136035318
Has anyone here ever talked about affiliate marketing? It seems to difficult to find a community that would be receptive to VNs that doesn't already know about them/buy them.
>>136034485
Doing something for entertainment is different from doing something for work. Why would you learn Chinese or Korean for the purpose of entertainment if there is no content in either language that interests you? You're only going to drop it after a couple days-weeks since there's no motivation to keep going.
If you're looking to earn money and obtain entertainment, a programming language is the best language to learn, especially if you like programming like I do.
Otherwise, if you already have enough skill with programming to make money like I do or simply don't like programming, Japanese isn't a bad language to learn for "fun", especially with the rise in popularity of Japanese media. One might be able to earn a small amount on the side through translating, although translating is not something I'd want to do for a living.

>>136049531
>5 years
Even less, 5 years is if you wanted to be able to talk and write fluently, which unless you're planning to live in Japan isn't necessary.
Learning how to read is a much faster process.
example:
Here's a screenshot of some path of exile maps.
Any player who's gotten to a high level (and hasn't been screwed over by GGG's shit rng) will be able to recognize each map by their icon after seeing them a couple times.
Being able to draw the symbols on each map from memory will take a much longer time, but unless you work for Grinding Goy Games' art department, why the fuck would you want to do that?
>>136050165
What is it with you and PoE?
>>136050219
GGG killed my parents.
>>136050219
I felt that picture was a good example on the relative ease of memorizing random symbols for the purpose of entertainment. Admittedly, most of us learning Japanese will never be able to use that skill for profit, so that's what we're essentially doing.

>>136061867
Chinami I can see how some could gate, but Asuho? Her "defect" and her trying her best to work around it made her all the cuter.
>>136062005
See >>136061724
Her "defect" was fucking dumb
>>136062181
What the fuck are you talking about. She was too self conscious if it.

Nasu: I told Aniplex's producer that I wanted the Fate/Zero novels turned into an anime. It was a good suggestion.
Many anime fans want there to be a lot of cute bishoujo characters in the work, and while they work hard to meet those needs, Iwakami, an important producer at Aniplex, wasn't satisfied just by doing that. I suggested that he tackle Fate/Zero, a dark and serious story full of raw emotion. He had the resolve, and that's how they ended up adapting Fate/Zero.
Takeuchi: Many anime studios wanted to make Fate/Zero into an anime, but as far as actually doing that, I couldn't feel very excited about the idea. It was a story that came into being out of the love and respect that Urobuchi-san had for Fate/stay night, and was designed to deepen the enjoyment a reader could get out of Fate. Adapting it into an anime might mean stepping on that love, and I didn't want to make something that didn't capture the feeling of the original novels.
Nasu: In addition to the original game, there's a fan disk and many other items. Maybe that's intimidating to a beginner. Setting that aside for a moment, I want people to see the anime version of Zero. Even without knowing the story of Fate/stay night, you'll get pulled into the story of Fate/Zero. While Zero is a part of the Fate universe, I think the anime version of Zero is good enough to stand on its own as a superlative work. Please check out Zero.

I saw Nasu at a grocery store in Akihabara yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Ippon Monzakus in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

It's time.

What do you mean?
Why do we have to have a really active thread?
We're finally back to the good old days.

How bad is the pseudoscience in Steins;Gate?
I don't expect a physics treaty or anything but Chaos;Head made me feel genuinely upset about how fucking retarded the explanations were. I'd rather have them wave stuff away as magic or "it just werks" than idiotic explanations like that.
>>136078313
All the science they have is sound
>>136078462
That's good, thanks.
The official translation is good, right? No need to find the old unofficial one?
>>136078817
Yes, it's very good. Aren't JAST picking up the translation left by someone?
>>136078462
>>136078817
Don't lie.
There is pseudoscience, mainly in how their "machines" work. And it is pretty bad. I mean it.
However, their theories are quite sound, and overall there are no major plot holes to look out for, so yeah - it's good if you disregard pieces explaining how the machines they test would work. That shit could never happen.
>>136077830
Yeah it happened right after all the shitposting retards got banned.
Root Double hasn't out yet?
>>136083685
Root Double hasn`t out yet.
>>136083685
Expect it to be further delayed, but don't worry goy, remember 6000000 quintillion steel mugs;^)
>>136078313
It's garbage just play Fate and make good use of your time.
>>136083685
Sekai surely would have said something by now if they intended to delay it.
Why haven't you become a Seigi no Mikata yet /vn/?

She'snot real ;_;
Two questions for /vn/:
Best kuudere?
Can any VNs be classified as "adventure"? If so, what kamiges would you consider to be in the "adventure" genre?
>>136107218

/vn/ is finally dead.
Good work guys, you killed it.
/vn/ is finally well and alive.
Good work guys, you made it.
so I finished Subameme partial, to sum up it was something like that:
Down the Rabbit Hole 1: Ikikoi
Down the Rabbit Hole 2: Cross Channel
It's my Own Invention: Bible Black
Looking-glass Insects: Chaos Head
Jabberwocky: Remember11

Post cute!
I'm sorry for posting a technical question. But does anyone know how to fix the animations in dracu riot skipping/playing insanely fast? I had to use the 64bit patch if that's related.
>>136117714
Don't play partials.
>>136115250
this fucking image man. Puts a grin on my face every time, regardless of my mood.
>>136118065
Kill yourself kuso cancer.
>>136117714
Are you referring to character sprites changing? If so it might have something to do with text speed. I forget which VN but I remember having max text speed would play through several sprite changes very quickly.
>>136117834
Patch supposedly coming out soon so I thought I'd start at least the common route. Also it sounds like more of a technical issue, less translation wise. Transitions between scenes are instant
>>136118153
>>136117834
Alright I'm dumb. If anyone has the same issue, which I doubt, the game has a setting for animation speed.
>>136118113
H-Hidoi!

Are you sure you weren't rused or am I just out of the loop?
