This general is for the discussion of Japanese visual novels.
Kindly use spoiler tags appropriately when discussing plot spoilers to facilitate smooth discussion.
Reminder that /jp/'s favorite VN is Yume Miru Kusuri!
>>146725335
Yeah I honestly didn't care. It's the writers later trying to get rid of it in such a clumsy way that was irritating.
>>146725445
She's not even close to my favorite girl but I probably have to go with Momoyo for best match.
Benkei is good too though and she IS my favorite.
>>146725696
>Momoyo for best match
>>146725812
Let me qualify that. It's not that they have good chemistry - They don't - It's that she brings out Yamato's ambitious side and the story often feels like it's built around their relationship far more than with the other girls.
>Yamato becomes a fucking ninja in Azumi's route
pretty cool tbqh
>>146726101
Too bad the latter half of the route was rushed as shit desu
>>146726101
I like him as a butler.
>>146726130
I'm not sure I'd say it was rushed. More like the writers had absolutely no clue how to actually advance their relationship so once they ran out of padding they just went 'Okay, timeskip time' and then boom, time to hook up.
>>146726932
>ok who wants to write their gradual development as a couple
>hey man fuck OFF we just did that shit with benkei just throw in a timeskip, im tired
Lolis are cute.
>>146727251
I think children are cute but then then everyone in awhile you come across an absolute shit and it's like "I can see why some people hate the idea of having one of these".
I get the feeling that's not what you were going for.
>>146727251
>>146727476
Eternal lolis are adorable.
>>146727476
Real children =/= Lolis.
Well, there are some lolis that actually act and completely look like kids but those are shit tier.
Honestly children irl can be pretty awful. Terrible shits a lot of the time. Some kids are alright and others are just the complete devil. I used to baby sit in High School and I think that's basically the perfect way to convince someone to never make babies. Cause boy, when they're shit, they are REALLY shit.
>>146727596
I like lolis that act adult.
Bonus points if they "mature" later on too.
>>146727251
>>146727596
I want to headpat a loli.
>>146727853
Monshiro getting a timeskip grown up epilogue was nice. It let you pretend you just got done reading Ageha's route.
But she was still totally eighteen before that okay.
>>146727882
I want to head butt a loli
TO DEATH
>>146727882
Friendly reminder her counterpart that she's bonded to will kill you.
>>146728265
Truly a shame.
I still want to bodyslam a loli
>>146729098
But there's a 30% chance she'll end up Paralyzed!
>>146729349
That's the way I like it.
Is he correct, /vn/?
Oh, goodness. I entered the other thread and thought we were dead for a minute.
>>146731720
He's right but that game looks disgusting
>>146732116
You look disgusting.
>>146731720
Both are fine, but she has neither.
>>146732414
Loli butts are the thickest butts, though.
>>146731720

ikikoi is so cute
>>146736268
Janitor is the absolute cutest
>>146732758
You fap to faces and hair? kk
>>146731720
loli > everything
>>146736704
>You fap to faces and hair?
Only plebs don't. A girl with an ugly face is as good as useless.
So I'm playing Utawarerumono, and for some reason the game reliably crashes after this guy's line (This is the first time he's appeared, and his first line). I tested this on both the voiced .exe and the non-voice .exe.
Does someone know what's going on?
>>146737445
Also please ignore the horrible cropping, my snipping tool does that sometimes and I didn't notice
>>146737445
Tried just CTRLing past it? I remember there being an instance where I had to do that years ago when I played it
>>146737651
Nah, doesn't work. Still catches me and throws me the "exe stopped working" message.
>>146737445
>>146737445
Reinstall it
>tfw stupid EOP for life
give me motivation
>>146738274
>>146738274
Why not take up another hobby and just play the new releases as they come?
>>146737854
Didn't seem to fix it. It seems to be a problem with the english patch, since I was able to get past that part without any problems on the unpatched version.
I did get this error when I tried to install the english patch, which I ignored until now because it seemed to work regardless. I'm just using regular old Windows 7, so I don't know why it's giving me shit for it.
Can you guys guide mt to the link for Canvas 2 ~Akane Iro no Palette~ ? I know I'm a bitch for asking but I tried the moonrunes and everything on both sites and can't find it.
>>146739019
Nevermind I found it feel free to keep the jpg it's all yours my friends
>you will never be a woman who double peace sign ahegaos while getting your pussy filled to the brim with semen
How does /vn/ handle this feel?
>>146738615
That's some weird shit.
It worked on my Win 7 so I don't think it's that.
Do you have a 64-bit?
>>146738274
play other games while waiting for new releases, get some work and do that
>>146727882
>>146731720
Don't these lolis fuck their dragon mounts? God damn sluts.
>>146739680
Yeah, I do.
The grisaia afterstories don't have any plot and they're just moeges without H-scenes right?
>>146740024
Yes, they pair off for life with these things.
>>146740029
Might be that then.
Try the compatibility modes if you haven't yet.
>want to play Grisaia now
>all that is available is a shitty all age version that requires me to give money to sekai
>don't know moon runes
The fucking temptation. I don't know. I really want to play, but fucking hell this is a trial.
>>146740615
No good.
I guess I could do the retarded roundabout of uninstalling the game, going past that part in the unpatched version, making a save, reapplying the translation, and going from there, but I lose a line of dialogue every time I do that, not to mention how much of a fuckin' hassle that is. Seems like it's either that or nothing, though.
>>146738274
It's not too difficult as long as you stay determined.
>>146725271
Whore.
誰か。。このスレ助けて下さい。。。

Question: how should I get into Muv Luv? I see that Muv Luv, Muv Luv Extra, Muv Luv unlimited will be available on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/449830/) with Alternative in Greenlight. Which one should I begin with?
>>146745613
You only need to read Alternative.
>>146745916
Are they not connected at all? I wouldn't mind reading average VN.
>>146745613
The best way is to play something good instead. But if you must, it goes Extra > Unlimited > Alternative.
>>146745613
Extra > Unlimited > Alternative
Now get outta here before you get spoiled
>>146745989
Of course they are. Read Extra, Unlimited, and Alternative in that order to get the full impact.
>>146746041
>>146746046
>>146746057
Thanks, I'm out.
>>146746139
I'm the killer.

Don't give up. Study 30 min everyday and you'll eventually reach a point where it'll be fun learning a new language and you'll spend more time with it

>>146753817
The sales have increased but the trve appreciators of VNs have long since moved on. Only shitposters and steam fags dwell here now

What's the difference between this

Why do we have 2 threads up?

No I meant what I posted.
>>146756889
well in that case good day to you sir.
>>146756937
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.
Fuck off.
>>146757017
where was I being ironic?
>>146757081
Well if you weren't then you really need to fuck off.
Fucking underage summerfags.
>>146757290
what's your problem? he was being civilized in a thread full of shitposters. you fuck off instead.
>>146758726
Never fucking reply to me again unless you're contributing to the thread.
>>146758803
Just end your miserable lifes, all of you. This thread serves no purposes besides shitposting the mod should just ban VN-related threads here because there's never anything remotely helpful in them
>>146759396
because people like you shit them up.
You want better threads? You will have to step up.
>>146759576
I posted about Majikoi A-1 last night but no one replied.
>>146759672
Stop posting kusoge then. It's cancer games like that that are killing this general.
>>146759735
>>146760260
>not being mean
>>146760260
hi sweetie
>>146751204
I thought Yusa was a good change of pace. He doesn't drop his sauce literally everywhere, actually has control of his life and doesn't do the worst possible option avaliable at all times.
I mean, he's hardly a deep or well written protagonist. He's fan service as fuck. But I'd hesitate to call him bad.
>>146759672
Just got done playing that. I was waiting for ages to finally play the Azumi route and now all I want to do is play the Lee and Stacy route.
>No option to fuck both of them
>No option to conquer all of the Maids
They even teased the damn idea.
>>146761497
Yeah, he's such an awesome cool and totes epic dude.
>>146761639
Hardly, but after a thousand fucking VNs of "I'm a nice, albiet usually not very confident, average guy." it's good to have any sort of change.
>>146761619
A-2 when?
>>146761854
It just got picked up so I assume it would be about the same time frame as A1
He is right faggots
>>146761916
So ~6 months.
They're pretty fucking fast for fan translators though.
Machine TLers win yet again!
Maybe I should revisit the first game sometime since I read all the other routes except 85 and Agave when it was still being originally translated.
>>146761996
More luck next time, fag. This is already old news also Baldr Sky is nigh!
>>146761854
Which girls are in A-2?
>>146761996
I have no idea who this is. I know it sounds incredibly hipster but I wish that VNs weren't popping up on steam. Now every fucking time one is released it's always "Butchered version for french little girls! Content patching coming in 6~ months or so!"
Christ why even translate? You're taking something clearly not meant for a certain audience, butchering the shit out of it, and putting it on the market for dosh.
>>146762223
VNDB says
>A-2: Seiso, Monshiro after+, Cookie 4 IS
>>146762256
>Christ why even translate?
> for dosh
there ya go champ
>>146762256
That's the fag in charge of Sekai project
>>146762290
Guess I have to slog through it and hope they do A-3 as well.
>>146762337
So why is he being so defensive? Someone hit a nerve?
>>146762363
>No Yoshitsune until A-5.
It'll be a hell of a wait.
But yeah, A-3 looks like the best piece of ass.
>>146762256
>not knowing the based savior of the vn market
lurk more. and no one cares about all-ages games not even japan so there ain't that many good family games out there
>>146762448
He's always been known to be a whiny bitch on twitter and everywhere else. No telling what made him start crying this time.
>>146762448
He's always mad.
I'd be mad too if I looked like this.
>>146762515
Except there are a fuck ton? A literal metric fuckton. They could translate them, but nobody really WANTS those games to begin with so of course they don't translate them.
No, they translate ones people want to gain hype and then butcher them in hopes of netting in more people on platforms like steam. They're money hungry little shits who get way too defensive about being said little shits on twitter.
If you're doing it for the money have the common decency to either admit it or keep your trap shut. Saying you're doing it to "expand the market" is bullshit and insulting.
>>146762739
Well to be fair anyone would be mad all the time if they were that ugly.
Thank god I'm average-looking.
>>146762739
Holy shit, how come he hasn't killed himself yet?
you guys should stop bullying Dovac. hes trying his best.
>>146762739
Cut your hair. Eat healthy. Lift. Congrats now you're a 6.9/9.9
>>146762739
That guy is Dovac?
I thought he was the fat Chinese dude with tiny eyes on those SP Youtube videos.
Is school days worth it? I'll be NEETing it up for a month or so and I need something to do
>>146765969
It's not good if that's what you mean.
>>146765969
No, not really. It's unique being pretty much an interactive anime but it's pretty shit.
>>146766194
>>146765969
If you consider it as an anime where you can influence the protagonist it is quite alright.
>>146766321
No... even as an "anime" it's bad. Poor writing, poor characters, dull plot, mediocre sex, and so on and so on. The only "good" parts about it are that Sekai is kind of moe, but that's ruined by everyone being a fucking dumbass.
>>146766194
>>146766236
>>146766321
>>146766493
So it's shit
I think I'll download Rewrite then
>>146766493
Yes Sekai is life and well I'm not too into anime so most I watch are just alright to me
>>146766645
Also, thanks
>>146766645
! enjoy you're Ixrec I guess
>>146749217
VNDB does tag her with anal so I assume it happens somewhere. I just don't remember it.
>>146750931
You say that like you'd never fucked your dog in the ass before.
>>146766829
Fucking hell
I was trying to avoid asking for recs outright but if anyone knows of a very fucking long vn that's not too shit and preferably light on sex stuff please tell. I dread re-reading F/SN
>>146767143
Clannad
>>146762448
He secretly lurks /vn/ and sees all the criticism aimed at him and eventually blows up once in awhile.
>>146767143
Stop getting trolled dude. Rewrite is fantastic. Now go away.
>>146766645
it's not especially good but the bad endings and decisions make it worthwhile
>>146767275
The problem would be its english version. People used to meme at Ixrec all the time so I'm never sure if he really sucked or what
>>146767487
He's a decent translator, but his english skills aren't the best. It's servicable enough anyways.
You read Fate already and that has a much worse tl.
>>146767487
It isn't a problem. If anything it makes many of the jokes funnier.
Yeah I think I'll do Clannad
I remember some weeb in high school asked me to print a bunch of clannad pictures and since I had no other acquaintances I agreed. I used most of the ink and I dropped the folder I was carrying the pictures on in front of my mom
Now I'll show myself out
>>146767727
>complains about TL he hasn't read
>picks much worse game with worse TL
Man are you smart.
>>146767727
Enjoy your vn.
Escape this shit hellhole.

>Clannaids
>>146767904
Yeah those posts are mine. thank (you)
>>146767802
Also Did Sekai Pro's do nothing with Clannad's TL? It couldn't be they'd release that machine translation...
Is /vn/ feeling pious today?
What is Konami's route in the fandisc even about? Since Sango's route is already entirely about Konami for some reason
>>146769447
never. but I believe in qt3.14s
>yfw Koiken Otome, SakuSaku and Astral air are all announced by Sekai Project at AX
>>146770012
I don't get it.
>>146768582
Sekai project has terrible in house translators so the most they do when they pick up a VN that was already fan tl'd is do some editing on the old script.
>>146770229
I would probably kill myself from laughter desu
>>146770229
Time to learn Japanese.
>>146770229
>Astral air

Hello ribbit

i would guess its the MC helping her open up more. She was really cute at times.
>>146769557
I was so burned out after Sango's route and the threesome in Yuuhi's route just being drunk sex that Nagisa doesn't even remember that I couldn't be assed to go through Konami's route.
HEY DOVAC I KNOW YOU ARE FUCKING HERE.
GTE OFF YOUR ASS AND UPDATE DENPASOFT SO THAT I COULD BUY THE FULL VERSION OF KARAKARA ALREADY.
>>146774454
Fuck karakara I want Grisaia and also Leyline
my peepee is drooling
>>146774928
In due time.
Meanwhile KARAKARA just came out and there is not 1 mention of it on denpa.
>>146775246
Sekai project has always been incompetent. This should be no surprise.
It's me again, does anyone have a DL link for Canvas 2 ~Akane Iro no Palette~? None of them are seeding and I want to die now.
>>146775246
I just want them to announce they're bringing over the Leyline sequels as well
how much fucking porn can you even squeeze in in a $10 VN?
>>146775441
I don't really care about the porn, I just want to throw some dosh to the devs since im a sucker for these cutesy fluffy titles, and this one looks right up my alley. But if I am to buy it, I will only buy the full version.

>>146785158
why you gotta lie?
>>146785115
Yes you should since they're all heavily related and you'll be gimping you're experience by not having played the others.
>>146785247
what?
>>146785115
I played 999 and read a summary for VLR, should do the trick.
>>146785267
Your I should say
Is Grisaia out yet?
>>146785350
The censored all ages version is if you're desperate
>>146785459
Oh no, I'm waiting on the denpa version
>>146761497
>>146761809
He's pretty much an uninteresting nearly bland character, but oh my god i'll take him 1000times over than the generic main character who's so fucking dense he wouldn't understand even a straight confession, or just a whiney fucking bitch who can't do shit.
Dude doesn't need to be a thug, he just needs to not be a whiney little bitch.
>>146785267
>>146785302
Alright, I'm gonna get those games.
Roughly, any idea how much time is it gonna take me to complete them?
>>146785761
999 is about 20 and VLR is close to 40.
True endings required for both.
Guys, what happened to the JRPG general? It hasn't been up for quite some time now...
>>146785959
For over a year.
>>146785884
Fuck.
There goes my summer.
Well, it's either gonna be that or Muv-Luv.
>>146785726
Why are visual novels over-ridden with terrible protagonists anyway
>>146740130
They have pretty good sex scenes, unless you're playing the censored version.
>>146786009
Why doesn't it exist anymore?
>>146786075
If you really want just the story stuff you could look up guides for the puzzles and that trims some hours off of both of them.
>>146785884

A lot of visual novels forsake protagonists as the driving thrust behind the plot and usually focus on side characters instead, whilst the protagonist is usually a pilot for the reader. This is why most protagonists are huge moralfags, dumb, etc. they need to appeal to as many of their readers as possible.

Holy shit, this is autism

They hinted at steam ports for both(?) soon, but 999 is easily emulatable.

DS emulator works fine. You can get a PSTV for cheap and play VLR on that
>>146786484
why do you need it anyway? /vn/ is like the sister general of /jrpg/ and people here are more knowledgeable yet less autistic
>>146786075
make sure you get a pillow to go along with the ride. It'll make the experience so much more... Enjoyable, to say the least.
Kimika a cute.

Because no one here talks about JRPG and it would probably have people sperging if someone posted them here.
Has anything better than Fata Morgana come out yet?

Seiso route is actually pretty good. Lots of Haou in it because Seiso can't really carry a story by herself.
>>146762460
And Yoshitsune route is awful. No joke, worst of the series barring maybe Homura.
>>146789289
You got me.

>Yoshitsune route is awful
What?
No.
I refuse to believe that.
>>146789760
I thought Rinchou or whatever the girl's name from the Chinese trio was supposedly the worst.
>>146789909
I'm sorry. Lower your expectations now. It was so bad it made Benkei annoying. It was so bad that Aki was the better heroine. You don't even know who Aki is because she didn't appear in any other release before A-5. It was so bad that not even a Benkei/Yoshitsune threesome could save it.
>>146789959
Rinchuu's is certainly bad, but Homura's is worse. A-4 is just the worst fandisk of the lot. A least A-5 had a great Takae route and an okay Margit After to make up for terrible Yoshitsune.
>>146790184
>>146790184
Nah.
I know it's not that bad.
You're just trolling.
I'm going to wait until A-5 is translated and then I'm going to be happy when I read a great Yoshitsune route.
>>146790184
That's a shame about Homura's route being shit. I thought she was pretty cute.
>>146790450
Anon.. I'm so sorry...
>>146790450
Well, don't say I didn't warn you. But don't worry, Takae route was still way better than it had any right to be.
>>146790486
I guess, though she's not really my type. I don't think that route really got anything right. I guess Moro and Oomura becoming friends was okay?
