This general is for the discussion of English-translated visual novels only. If you'd like to discuss untranslated visual novels, go to the general in /jp/.
Kindly use spoiler tags appropriately when discussing plot spoilers to facilitate smooth discussion.
Stacy is cute but FF8 is a pretty shit game tbqh
>>146105647
Probably the worst FF after 13, desu.
>>146105647
You joking? It's by far the best FF.
>>146105647
Some of the character's limit breaks were great though, no wonder she'd pick up something from it.
>>146105647
Fuck you, it's great, just because it tried something different doesn't make it bad.
>>146105764
That's 13-2. Unless you're only counting mainline, in which case it's 10.
>>146105887
>just because it tried something different doesn't make it bad.
Just because it tried something different doesn't excuse the cringeworthy script and mediocre gameplay.
And at least 10 was fun to play. It had even worse characters, but at least it didn't have any of the awful draw shit to waste your time with. Seriously. Fuck drawing. Fuck whoever thought that shit was a good idea.
>>146105887
But what it did wasn't good either.
Combat only gets fun at a few lategame and endgame bosses.
>>146105430
Did you just spell photographer wrong, or is this some sort of weird shota pun I don't understand.
I like lolis.

>>146108396

>>146108475This is dumb. So am I. Thanks.
So which girls are the new girls that get the D in A1?
>>146108924
Benkei, Asuka (Hideo's Maid) and Sakura (Yukie's little sister).
What moege has the best romantic buildup?

>release two vns in the same week
>the OELVN actually looks better
So this was dovac's plan all along.
>>146109557
Holy crap the OELVN looks damn good.
Torrent when?
>>146109557
>no sexual content
vs
>sexual content
the choice is obvious
>>146109757
Which one has sex?
>>146109815
is your vndb broken?
>>146109815
Neither, they are both on Steam.
>>146109663
>>146109557
The problem with OELVNs has always been the god-awful amateur writing. There's long since been OELVNs like Katawa Shoujo that compared favorably to Japanese games, it's just that the writing is consistently awful. Being impressed by art simply shows your inexperience in the medium.
>>146109815
The OELVN has an adult patch on their website.
>>146109557
They look pretty gay.
>>146110310

I'm studying kanji for my Japanese exam tomorrow. Been at this for a year and a half and I can't read shit. It's not worth it.
>>146115616
But men are icky.
>>146114951
It's partially translated, m8.
Anyway, it's not until the final of DtRHII that things start going craaazy. And Inventions just goes batshit insane.
Do you often replay VNs or as soon as you finish them you let it just remain in your memories and move on?
I usually don't do the whole thing again because it's never the same thrill of reading for the first time, but it's nice to revisit some of my favorite scenes every once in a while.
>>146115782
That just means you are retarded
How can you study ANY language for year and half and still can't read shit?
>>146115893
I've only re-read things after 3+ year gaps.
>>146115893
I replay my favorite ones about once a year. All the romantic ones around the holidays to shove aside eternal loneliness.
>>146115839
People like you are the reason moogy's jewish plans to destroy the visual novel market is fully functioning
>>146115893
Only the ones I really liked 2bh.
>>146115856
I looked at the CG gallery and I have no idea what the fuck is going on. Seeing as Kagami was my favourite girl and knowing what happens to her, I'm going to be uninstalling.The fuck is up with the rabbit undergoing the same things that Kagami went through, though?
>>146115893
I have around 10 Bishop VNs installed and every time I finish one I loop back to the first one. There's enough of a gap between each loop that I mostly forget each game before replaying them so each time is fresh.
>>146115893
Sometimes I re-read a route or two but never an entire VN.
>>146116176
the VN market doesn't need help getting destroyed in the west, moege and memege buyers do a good job of that alone.
>>146116442
>every time I finish one I loop back to the first one.
I mean every time I finish all ten
>>146116650
no u
>>146116650
>if I hate it really hard maybe it will magically disappear
>>146115893
Yes, although it's mostly the ones I've read years ago, I like to check if they still hold up or not. Recently I've re-read Katawa Shoujo because I was bored and some people discussing that on /v/ have put me on the mood. In the end it wasokay.

The high school romance ones are usually perfect for those times.
>>146116785
don't underestimate my powers, fool.
see that moege you want that will never get translated? heh... i have allies in high places my friend...
>>146117027
I've reread memecats this year. One thing the series is perfect for is forgetting about negative shit going on in RL.
>>146116785
Leave the poor guy alone. Can't you see he sustains himself solely on salt?
>>146110526
What is wrong with this guy's face? Also, he's so generic he reminds me of Tatsuya, Yuuji, Hachiman, any guy from BL, etc. simultaneously it's creepy
>>146116025
>exam
That means he's probably taking a college course or something, which also focus on writing, speaking, and listening comprehension in addition to being able to read.
Learning how to write and speak consumes way more time than learning how to read, and neither of those skills are very useful when you aren't going to be interacting with any natives. Even in Japan, the use of IMEs has reduced the necessity to know how to write.
And that's why my sister who has studied Japanese last year for a mandatory language requirement still can't read よつばと!, while I've already passed her level of knowledge within a couple months.
>>146117509
>I'm mastered english!

>>146117296
That's just a flawed educational system then

>>146116814
KS is good for an entry-level VN and probably the best OELVN so far, it's the autistic fanbase that makes people lose their collective shit.

This sounds so stupid
>>146118639
>>146118971
Anything that remotely resembles Nekopara must be translated and released on Steam, is what I assume is Sekai Project's logic with these shitty releases.

>Removal of DLC for General Sale
First of all, we've decided to abandon the DLC plan we initially announced, in accordance with user feedback. As of now, the version of the game available for digital download on Steam at release will have the Sound Mode and CG Gallery intact (previously the Deluxe Edition), and is planned for general sale at $40. For this reason, the words "Deluxe Version" will also be removed for clarity.
>40 dollars
are you kidding me?

>>146120297
Yes.
>>146120479
You end up taking care of some moe stray kitten. That's already a resemblance plotwise.
Majikoi A-1 keeps the good ol' fun but there really isn't much going on
>>146119903
Too bad idolmaster is shit.
>>146119985
It's pretty cheap right? I like them because they listen to the fans -.-
>>146120624
nigger its a kitten not a full size supermoe superlewd catgirl
>>146120181
I just looked up COSEN on vndb instead, seeing as there's japanese voices I would assume they listed them as they probably did develop it in some way
would be absolutely hilarious (and a bit sad) if it's a KR>JP>EN translation though
>>146120670
>-.-
>>146119985
seems like the standard cost of a non indie VN
Are they doing any remastering or updating in terms of art/resolution or any of that ?
>>146119985
>>146121032
Why are you acting like you're not going to pirate it?
>>146121345
I've already read the VN so i wont be pirating or reading this localization to begin with.
Give me a vn that will make me feel like Ayakashibito did. Good feels, sad feels, and the feeling of emptiness when I finally heard this song for the last time.

IKIKOI
How long is A-1?
Who here other than me refuses to buy VNs that herkz works on?
I find it funny so many of the tlwiki cartel have nothing but contempt for us then expect us to fund their e-celeb lifestyles. If you can call 100 twitter followers competing for half a dozen retweets a day e-celebrity.
>>146122775
Not that long. If you're really slow you'd probably clear it in 9 hours or so.
>>146117912
It's mainly because traditional language courses focus on shit you won't need to know at all, unless you're actually going to be moving to a country where that language is spoken, in which case you'd be better off hiring a private tutor so you don't fuck yourself over by practicing with noobs who will also butcher the pronunciation of words.
The majority of the interactions someone in the west is going to have with Japanese material is through anime, manga, and VNs, which don't need time-consuming production skills.
>>146122863
what VNs has he worked on?
Is the new majikoi game good
>>146123483
Its just more majikoi, so if you liked the others you should like this one too.
>>146122863
herkz is a giant failure, couldn't even pass MG's quality test
>>146122863
I don't buy VNs any SJWs work on.
>>146123915
>SJW
opinion discarded
>>146123915
Is herkz really an sjw
How can you be one and work on jap material?
>>146122775
Only Benkei's route is actually worth reading. Her route can probably be finished in a day.
>>146123483
For the Majikoi A there's usually one good route per release, one mediocre one and one bad one. A-1 good route is Benkei.

She is from Fairy Tail. As >>146143440 said, fairy tail is shit, but her episodes were like a "filler". But it was a fucking great filler, much better than the series itself.
If you are interested, her episodes begin at fairy tail S2-92'nd episode. I didn't even watch the second season of fairy tail, but loved this filler so much.

>>146149620
To be fair, Wanko's dreams were stupid.
>>146149620
The dream wasn't achieveable in the first place. What good is a master who gets beaten by a foreigner?
>>146149679
Yeah the route makes it clear that she was never gonna make it. Too bad she doesn't realize it in the other routes and keeps wasting her time training.
>>146149936
I'm sure she finds out in the other routes too. The epilogues usually say something along the lines of her having some kind of conflict with Momoyo but they make up and she supports her with running the temple. She just ends up finding out later rather than sooner.

Muv Luv coming out on steam? Is it censored?
>>146155401
It's on Steam, what do you think?
>>146155609
Well, the Witcher has sex and nudity, so maybe?
>>146156019
The Witcher doesn't show penetration.
Ghakthun is also on steam but doesn't show penetration.
Ghost sluts on the fucking roof is on steam but doesn't show penetration.
So unless they removed the penetration, Muv Luv will not be on Steam.
>>146156189
Might have a decensor patch like memecats did.
>>146156993
That's pretty much guaranteed, even if it's only done unofficially
Anyone else getting this? Sprite is missing.
Guess who's back
>>146159179
Nevermind, fixed it.
I think it happens when your DirectX is weird or maybe if you're using an integrated graphics card like me. Anyways, this is how I fixed it. Also I don't know Japanese and just dicked around till it was fixed so I have no fucking idea what button it is.
>>146160440
Also one more thing, I have not fully tested it but it did fix the missing sprite for that particular scene. So if there are others missing then I don't know what to do.
>>146147879
The fuck? Now she looks just like one if the maids
>>146160440
>>146160585
You just disabled directX.
>>146163179
Oh, okay.
I do have DirectX installed but I used the prepatched torrent of Majikoi A-1 so I didn't need to install it. Maybe that's why it was messing up.
If something like that offends you, Zodie "SJW" Kafka, then you need to re-evaluate your life.
What's extra dungeons and why is it off by default
