Previous thread: >>48636938

This thread is for the discussion of untranslated Japanese visual novels.

What are you playing? What are you looking forward to? What have you finished?

I don't know what to play, I don't even know if I want to play VNs anymore. Its just too hard to come across that one diamond amongst dirt. The worst feeling is not knowing if I don't like a VN because the story is boring or if I'm just not in the mood, it's impossible to tell which is the issue.

Age, Sprite, Nitroplus, Leaf, Laplacian, FrontWing, August, Light, Harukaze, I'm probably forgetting a few others
They almost all tried to get the gacha money, and most of those who failed are now trying to be clean and get that sweet all age money or go away from VNs
Yuzusoft and Harukaze tried but failed, though it was to be expected, they don't do plotge

ironically at this point the medium is so dead they would start making big bucks again off normal r18 and some generic drpg gameplay

Outside of popular slop like atlus jrpgs, 2d kakuges and dripfeed VNs with gacha systems like FGO and HBR. You'd have to go dive into rpgmaker style shit for stuff like black souls.

Wouldn't compare them to my favourite VNs since they're pretty different but if you like chuuni stuff and don't mind emulating try Persona 3. I don't really like playing games either but I gave it a try after Masada was talking about Senshinkan ideas coming from persona and enjoyed it.

Some games I like: Shadow Hearts 1+2, Bealphareth, 九龍妖魔學園紀. 九龍 is probably the most similar to a VN since it has ADV parts. It's quite similar to Persona but you are a treasure hunter exploring a ruin under a school in Indiana Jones style. For something more recent Romancing Saga 2 Remake is pretty good.

We have a communal sport of dunking on Muramasa and Subahibi, but their stories demonstrate a competence and intentionality which make them deserve their place among the best made VNs. I don't know how you can be a fan of this medium and be so stubborn on trashing them
>>
>>48704932
This. Our medium is so good it's hard to make a completely irredeemable title because of what soul goes into all parts of a work. We need to be allied in these tough times.
>>
Mileage may vary but for me Cross Channel, Ima, Subahibi, Sakura no Uta, Muramasa, Oretsuba and Nukitashi should just be in the ‘how the hell were they written’ monster tier and not even be rated. If you start nitpicking at their flaws, it’s easy to find them but doing it with these titles in particular just feel tasteless to me.

I've read all of Scaji's works, and I'd say that Nijuuei is very much divorced from what Scaji wrote during his career, especially his most popular works. Nijuuei is much more digestible when it comes to 哲学, as it's less the focus compared to some of his other works; Nijuuei in short, is essentially historical porn with lots of references to classic Japanese literature, with the story being set in early Edo. The story focuses less on the heroines (they are barely relevant to the plot and it's hard to say that the story has any real routes) but much more on the protagonist -- a swordsman who has been cursed since birth forcing him to live through the blade in order to survive.

The story essentially takes place on a small island, and the story's focus is on unveiling both the protagonist and the island's mysteries. The VN works more like a point and click in the sense that most of the choices in the VN (there are a lot of them) are more about visiting and moving around the island over the course of the story. It's a very atmospheric piece of work that's really good at crafting its own atmosphere, and the soundtrack is pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12Hz8ENb9cE

Oh, and the VN had a strong emphasis on martial arts, including a particular style of 剣術. It's the kind of work that push you to study some interesting part of history in an engaging way. This is one of the few Scaji works to feature actual combat scenes with Moekan, the latter going full chuunige at times. I personally found them pretty cool in Nijuuei.

Maybe not quite kamige-level, but certainly one of the most unique VN I've personally read. It's obvious that Scaji took great enjoyment working on this particular work, and I'd even go so far as to say it's one of my favorite work of his. I'm a little sad that the project to remake/make a pseudo-sequel to Nijuuei was abandoned in favor of more Sakuuta, since the little we know of the project was very promising. So yes, if you didn't like Sakuuta, I wouldn't worry, because the Scaji of the time when he wrote Nijuuei is mostly different from Sakuuta Scaji.

How do you cope with the inherent soullessness of many aspects of many eroge caused by the fact the different elements are staffed by different people and that at least some, if not many of them (in some cases perhaps ALL of them) are just doing it for a paycheck and couldn't care less about about the work (they may even actively dislike it)?

You learn how to appreciate things as is and love the characters for who they are.
Let's face it, none of these characters would even be appreciated if there wasn't any audience for them. The fact eroge, especially untranslated, is so niche and obscure, you might as well be the only person gives a shit about the game and characters especially if you have finished it fully. It's like picking up an abandoned child and giving them the love they deserve even if their parents hate them.

I view visual novels as platforms that provide opportunities for individual artists to shine.
Some VNs are holistic successes and you can completely give yourself over to them and have a wonderful time, but if you expect EVERY visual novel you read to be like that, you're just setting yourself up for constant disappointment.
Most VNs are mixed bags. It's very common for a VN to have some routes that are excellent and others that are terrible, or to have a great story but frustrating gameplay, or vice versa, or any other combination of strong and weak aspects.
If you want to get the most out of the medium, it's best to gain an ability to say something like, "Wow, DragonAttack's soundtrack was great, and that last chapter was awesome!" and walk away with some happy memories even if you didn't like the majority of the experience.

It's still important to be critical and acknowledge what was done poorly or wrong and didn't work, but if you can do that AND at the same time truly enjoy what was done well and right and did work, you'll be able to get something out of almost every title you play.

iirc scadi and nexon's boss said that nobody really work in the eroge industry without liking it at least a tiny bit, since the paid is uber shit and even working at a konbini would be better for them, and those who don't like eroge fuck off after a few years, or try to go all age

One day there will be a brave moege developer that will try to innovate and give the heroines you didnt choose in that route a partner after the time skip in the story(it if has it)
It's hilarious that even after a 5 year timeskip or something they stay lonely while the MC is still in a relationship with the heroine of that route, there should be more meaning in selecting when selecting which heroine you want to win.

So true...
>>
>>48709094
No one is getting ntr'd, the MC already choose a girl and since there was a timeskip they have been together for years, if another heroine say they are engaged is not ntr, cheating or other delusions since the MC is already in a relationship, don't like it? Choose their routes, this way also makes choosing way more meaningful.

Done with Asuka's route
This ending was... abrupt. I knew nothing would reach a conclusion since this isn't the true route, but still. In the end, there was no conclusion with the class album, hell Takashi and Asuka didn't even write something even thought it seemed to be a huge fucking deal, I mean, they keep talking about it through the whole route. No conclusion for Takauchi nor Morisato too. I get that Hariu managed to find the will to graduate, and Kobato finally accepted Takashi as his brother, but it was really damn light and fast... I liked Shuusuke and Hariu in this side, good bros

Dude, all the endings are like this. Even the true route, to a lesser degree. It's not a game you play for the "story".

Yeah, as others have said Oretsuba isn't a game you play for grand plot where everything comes together at the end. Though you will get a funny resolution to Takauchi's character in the true route. Morisato will also get more development in Naru's route and there's a lot of funny shit with him in the true route, so look forward to that. Personally I thought Asuka's route was the weakest part of the game. Naru's route was the best. Hayato is just too good.

Ironically and unironically, Nukitashi.
The one which would benefit from reading it in the original the most, due to the amount of shimoneta and other puns.
But last time I remember you needed some software that generated a hook based on your OS environment.
>>
>>48711007
I mean, Oretsuba does have a story, but it's more that Oretsuba uses it's story more as a framework to explore its themes rather than focusing on the story as something that needs to have a clever resolution. That's actually something I really like about Oretsuba. There are some VNs that use multiple personalities as an epic twist thats supposed to wow the reader, but in Oretsuba it's not really treated as a twist, it is just the lens that all of the protagonists view their lives, and you can clearly see how their entire mindset and way of living is warped by coping with the fact that they are transient personalities that could disappear at a moments notice
>>
>>48710966
Pretty much anything heavy SLG. Too many elements that can't be caught by the text hooker. Same for stuff with a lot of gameplay elements in general (but then it starts being a game and not a VN). Stuff that has with audio and no accompanying text too, of course.

Why does that matter? Also just go to the directory where the saves are and look at the file?

>>48711608
Because I want to see the year I made the save not just the date and month. Also sometimes it doesn't just save files in he folder directly, it's always saved to a single .sav file, whatever the last modified date is on the file will just be your most recent sav.
Maybe the year is stored in there in the save file though, I never tried looking I guess.

This is weird cause the only mediums where you get just 1 guy's talent extracted into a work are books, manga, and music (even then you can have meddling editors, producers, etc.)
I think it's not really an issue as long as you have a dictator who has a vision and cares about it. Good composers for example can compose good music on commission for a soundtrack even if they don't care about the thing they'r emaking the soundtrack for,you just need a director to give feedback and specifiy what he does and doesn't want from the creatives working under him

My standard recommendation for complete beginners is the EMIT trilogy by Koei.
It's a short science fiction story (~90 minutes). Uniquely, the editor had a doctorate in English and specifically constructed the story to be as easy to translate into English as possible so it could be used as edutainment software.
It's a very mild, soft challenge with a good story. Because its so short, you can choose to either read the included English version first, then read it in Japanese using what you remember from your first time through, or just read it in Japanese and take it slow.

龍が如く is my favorite イケメン simulator.
There are multiple points in the story where hot chicks will 逆ナン you right off the street. There's also a story arc I really like in one of the games where you get a job as a ホスト and have to bust your pretty gigolo ass to not get fired.
The protagonists are so イケメン that a lot of women will actually play the games just for them, so I think it's a good fit for what you're looking for.
They're mostly gameplay but each title usually has 10-20 hours of visual novel packed in too.
I recommend starting with 0 because it's a good starting point and it has ユキ and she's my 24-hour Cinderella.

>What part of this game is a visual novel exactly?
The part where you spend hours talking to them and choosing dialogue options. Most games have six to ten routes and each route is maybe about two hours long. There's also lots of little side stories that are mostly dialogue and some of them are also romances.
The art is a bit of an acquired taste, I suppose. Across the series the models are definitely hit or miss (some being very, VERY miss) but when they hit they hit.
It's an easy series to recommend to someone who wants an experience that's a mix of a traditional visual novel and something wildly, completely different. If you're only in the market for moege, then yeah, stay away. It has great moege moments but also mountains of the exact opposite.

That's a pretty good way to describe it. Oretsuba is basically a slife of life, except it's a slice of life into three deeply mentally unhealthy guys as they navigate school bullying, gang wars, and manzai routines at the restaurant they work at. But most of the story is more driven by "what's going on in this guy's life today" than it is by an overall narrative or progression towards a goal.
