I expected all the scenes to take place after the story was basically over so I could skip them, then I got to Aomi route and Oosaki randomly demands to fuck him as 代償 for not taking him hostage anymore and I'm just awkwardly watching this scene and listening to the plap, plap, plap sounds but not wanting to skip it because it seems important to the story. They really didn't need to add those sound effects.

I thought about it more maybe it's more realistic than I give it credit for being
Well this game could have been better. Crazy that it's like an hour and a half longer than the isekai one. But it feels like it says so much less, and the writing and plot is just much weaker.. Well I guess to be fair it has one more heroine than that one did to focus on, that probably is really what added to the runtime. But in the end they also don't really matter or have interesting stories the sex here was pretty gratuitous unlike then when it actually was part of the plot.
But the scenes were hot. I wish their dialogue was more varied though. The dude raping them even mentions they just say the same thing over and over all the time. Instead of pointing it out you could fix that. I guess it's in industry problem really though.
Please let me save at the branching points. or make it easier to skip dialogue

I don't know it's kinda NTR like, I'm no NTR expert though
spoilers
The other guy rapes them all to get back at the protagonist, because they like him, but the protagonist doesn't have any more than a friendly acquaintanceship with them, never even considers anything more with them, and also doesn't have the slightest clue that they're all being raped until he finds out at the very very end of the game, and then after that it's honestly just never even addressed or brought up in the epilogue. He is 100% locked in on finishing his apprenticeship, he does not care about them sexually at all.
I don't know if you can call it ntr from that or not, but since it's focused on him it does feel that way

There won't be rerelease, they already said that scenario is long enough(as long as SP RB), it's fully complete release at once.

Just played 魔法少女ノ魔女裁判. Fantastic in some ways, bad in others, I thought the ending was kinda shit with an underwhelming villain, but the overall trials felt better than the typical Danganronpa faire, everyone felt smarter than the usual idiot spouting 'herp derp, ghosts did it', but tended to play things too straight (no real twists that put the trial on their head other than case 4/5). Still, I wish Ema was more than just a moeblob.

This is just my own personal thought, but I thought they were heading in a different direction rather than Hiro saving everyone by through the power of suicide and despair, but diverted during the penultimate case. After all, I kept expecting Ema to die in a climactic and impactful murder/suicide/etc, but it never actually happened, she just died like a normal victim in a generic case, rather than a climax. Moreover, I think they forgot that earlier on, iirc, they stated that to summon the great witch you specifically needed a sacrifice, nothing about 13 people in particular. What happened to that anyway?

I personally thought that the witch-killing magic was something supplemental to Ema’s existing magic at the end of part one - something like Yuki’s magic that is being used through her as a puppet, rather than her actual magic, because it kinda is just a plot device that she never can really use, nor has a propensity for. Something having to do with bonds, or illusions, or something along those lines. There was a bunch of weirdness in the second half that made me think that Ema had through some manner or another remembered the other timeline along with the identity of the Great Witch (this was pretty obvious and her taboo was dug into enough by the end of the first half for her to know this). I honestly thought for several trials that SHE was the one who killed Meruru, and Mago intentionally took the fall for her during the trial (like she did near the end of the first part to save her life before, Ema also had the means, motive, and opportunity if she was conspiring with Mago), and that’s why her old allies were droppinglike flies (Mago, Koko, and Nanoka in just the first two trials). Aside from that, the second case had Ema randomly pick up a gun next to the corpse of who I thought was her ally, which seemed like obvious brainwashing to frame her and try to get her killed, along with the 3rd case which initially seemed more like a (failed) attempt to frame Ema for a fake death and, again get her killed, which made it seem like Yuki was trying to kill her. If they placed the ‘curse’ as the antagonist pushing people, no doubt Yuki could easily point them to off certain people.

I thought Ema, Mago, and Koko - the final survivors, all were working together with knowledge of the future to try to solve the situation (Meruru, the guard, and the great witch), but were being countered by Yuki. But, uh, that wasn’t the case. It kinda miffed me how irrelevant Ema was for most of the second half, Hiro was more interesting, in many ways, sure, but she kinda stole the show from the original MC, and Ema has like, no agency whatsoever for the second half and just exists as a moeblob.

There was other stuff I suspected originally that I think may have been more interesting in general. Like, looking at Ema, her roots and most of her hair is white, but the tips are purple (implying white is her natural hair color), and her eye color has similarites with Yuki’s. My thought earlier on was that Ema WAS Yuki, but quite literally gave herself schizophrenia, Ema being a mere magic-constructed personality and facade to appeal to others that gained a will of its own, with the ‘real’ personality residing inside. It’d fit with how all the magics seem to have a bit of relation to the person’s trauma, at least. Or at least, instead of just being a bystander (kinda a light sin compared to the rest of the cast, honestly), maybe it would have been better if she was the one to personally shove Yuki off the roof to protect Hiro, or if she actually did, deep down inside desire the death of humanity and had to be convinced by the usually cynical Hiro to not proverbially press that button. She just desperately needed some more to her.

Aside from that, there was all sorts of unexplained stuff that felt like it was building up to a ‘Ema actually has illusion magic’ twist for the second half, and combined with foreknowledge, prevented all the executions. Hence Noa ‘dissolving’ and Gokuchou saying that it was odd, Nanoka and her sister exploding into gore and disappearing, Sherry/Hanna's execution where they quite literally disappeared instead of becoming gore, it made me think that someone, probably Ema was pulling an illusion trick for the entire second half for all the executions. But that lead nowhere, probably because if they went that direction, only a fraction of the cast could survive, right?

The worst part about this is that when I read the reviews on vndb everyone says that the prose is terrible but they still rate it 9 or 10/10 and say its life changing. Maybe I really missed something by dropping this vn but I feel like I wont have the sheer willpower to go through this prose again.
Also, i hated the fact that tooya and asahi didnt have any route

I know, right? Cause I agree with them.
Except I also think the prose is good. I really do think it's well written, for the style the author goes for.
I won't deny it could be trimmed a bit, but overall it's one of those VNs that just leaves you in awe.
>>
>>50862631
its not even just the prose, i dont get how people like the *plot*. it's so melodramatic and there are so many points in the story where it feels like the author wants you to cry to a scene or flashback, i couldn't get all the reviews that were like "this game destroyed me :(". the convoluted plot, the meandering prose, and the length of the game (holy shit was the true route long, there were like three points i thought the game would end and it just kept on going) gave the vibe of the whole thing feeling like a fever dream which was the only way i could enjoy the game.
>>
>>50862631
>Maybe I really missed something by dropping this vn but I feel like I wont have the sheer willpower to go through this prose again.
I forced myself through it but nothing in the true end landed because I was just tired of it by then. Not doing that again.

>pacing and the prose
...
>>
>>50862650
its definitely an oneiric piece of work so it would make sense to read it as a fever dream. It wouldnt even be a bad thing if the game wasnt always trying to show you that it actually makes sense. Its so opaque that, in the end, it cant tell its story properly. What a shame man.

>>50862650
i just cant force myself like this, i'd rather hop on something i actually like but sometimes i get fomo from this vn

>>50862644

>>50862670
>if you could elaborate on that it could be interesting because i really dont get it

The art and the music work together to produce a dreamy atmosphere. The text had, at times, an almost hypnotic effect on me, really pulling me in.
The visual depiction of the Night along with the music made me feel almost like I'm witnessing somewhat sacred.
Which is what I presume the author was going for.

But being objective, if the game didn't work so well on me, I can see myself saying these things >>50862647
The plot certainly does get convoluted at the end.

Any QoL things you use when reading VNs?
The biggest gamechanger for me was Lossless Scaling (set to Anime4K scaling type). Makes VNs so much crisper fullscreen.
And I add them as non-steam games to set up controller support, because using a controller is more comfy.

ron paul /jp/
i started learning jap some time ago and thought i'd play some games in japanese to immerse. i already had hyke and volcano princess installed (i know they're not vns). i gave it a go and proceeded to spend like 1-5 minutes on every speech bubble, just constantly using a popup dictionary
i know this isn't /djg/ but i was wondering how did people who started learning and playing do, did it take the same amount of time or am i just extremely shit at reading?

>>50868896
how much is "some time ago?" can you read moeshit? can you read anything?

everything is a pain when you first start, you just have to find something that doesn't burn you out too fast and keep consooming
>>
>>50868896
I started with a slice of life eroge, and i remember taking 2 months to finish it because some days i wouldn't want to read, because a 5 minute conversation would turn into 90 minutes of reading because i was a newbie, all you have to do is summon the strength to keep going, having a favorite story that you really really want to read helps with this.
>>
>>50869041
for beginners i would recommend either something with gameplay like a jrpg or something you have already read

as for the rest, try actually reading some moeshit for 5 minutes without troonhookers: if you are completely lost and have no idea what you just read then you should go back to vocab/grammar decks for a while. otherwise just read more
>>
>>50869021
2 years ago, but i started with like "hey 10 anki cards per day" and i'm extremely forgetful, so i wouldn't really call 15 minutes a day "learning".
i'm reading yotsuba and probably gonna start something else soon. yotsuba, some pages i read whole without any help, some others i have to look word up cause "hot air baloon" issn't exactly common i suppose.

Advice from my experience many years ago:
-Don't bother reading things you're uninterested in "just because they're easy". I downloaded tons of raw manga thinking I would practice with them, but I was uninterested in actually getting around to them. I tried Pokemon games in Japanese "because they're readable for kids" and the lack of kanji actually made it more of a chore to read. What I was very interested in was VNs, and that's what got me to stick with it. Focus on material that personally motivates you enough to keep up with even when early reading attempts are slow. And they WILL be slow, but as you read more you'll slowly get faster.
-That said, if moege DO appeal to you then that can be a good place to start in terms of difficulty.
-Study grammar if you haven't already. I read Tae Kim's grammar guide, and I took a few notes to have reference sheet to revisit for refreshers.
-Back then, I used a texthooker (AGTH), with none of the MTL options, just the parser which helped me make sense of sentences and grammar I was looking at. It also made it easier to copy and paste new words into Jisho dictionary.
-When I encountered new words, I put them into my Anki custom deck to study.

>>
>>50869395
Yeah it basically grabs the text into a separate bar under your game window. There are options to MTL the text, but you can turn those off and just use the option that parses text which can make it easier to follow sentences when you're in the early stages of reading JP. Once you get more comfortable reading sentences you'll be able to graduate from using it, but it can be a helpful tool for beginners.

This is of course an optional tool, but I personally found it helped me with the first several games I read.

I'm too used to japan modern obsession with giant asses that for some reason I automatically assumed the maid one had 4, so i I didn't even check the scenes in question when counting the total number of scenes

600 hours of immersion and I can't imagine myself not using a hooker. Looking up words in a dictionary is important for progress; using tools is t's a matter of convenience.

Well, I can imagine people who only read moege, watch anime or play games can get away without a hooker, but this won't work for plotge enjoyers
>>
>>50869839
I used a hooker for my first three years of reading and if I had to start over from scratch I'd absolutely use one again.
It is a crutch and it is important to wean yourself off of it sooner or later, but when you're starting out you need all the help you can get and a text hooker is one of the most efficient ways to get help there is.
>>
>>50869839
>but this won't work for plotge enjoyers
It will when you learn Japanese.
>>
>>50869839
Assuming you're not still needing to look up words every line, you likely don't need a texthooker at that point. There're phone apps to look up kanji with your camera if you come across unfamiliar vocab. Or if I can still understand through context then I'll just take a screenshot, continue reading, and search up the word later for studying.

Ignore the other advice. What you want is to watch TV/drama/anime with Japanese subtitles OR an eroge/game with a high amount of spoken lines. So something like Axanael, which is all voiced. You want to link the sounds to the respective characters/words. This is how we learn language naturally. You significantly both slow down your learning progress by trying to read (without sound). When you are more intermediate/advanced, you can go on to reading manga/books/narration-heavy VNs, but until then voiced content with Japanese subtitles ONLY.

While I think that dedicated ankis for vocabulary are largely a waste of time, dedicated grammar study however is essential. Immersion is good and all but it is also a wasted effort if you still have no idea how the grammar works. Japanese grammar is highly idiosyncratic and unusual compared to many other languages (korean speaker might have an easier time though) and I don't think immersion will teach it well. I suggest on learning how the Japanese grammatical particles work (の,に,ね etc) and read through Tae Kim's Japanese grammar guide (that's what I did) also Imabi for more information but generally reading Tae Kim's and keeping up with immersion will put you in the right path.

https://vndb.org/v1337#main
>>
>>50874132
Why would you think it is?
>>
>>50874139
Because its other related game is tagged with unavoidable harem ending
https://vndb.org/v30724
>>
>>50874139
Sometimes the tag on vndb are unreliable like how nekopara, utawarerumono , majority of eushully games and rance should also fall under unavoidable harem ending tag but they aren't tagged right lol

File: 250px-Tsukihime.jpg (24 KB, 250x375)

I got to the end of Arcueid's route of Tsukihime and I'm not really feeling it. I didn't particularly care for KnK either so I'm not too surprised but I think I actually enjoyed KnK more. Of course I read the entirety of KnK vs not even finishing a single Tsukihime route, but while KnK has much lower lows, it also had a lot higher highs. I don't feel much of anything in Tsukihime so far, and knowing that Ciel's route is gonna be more of the same makes me not wanna continue. I am curious in the Far Side stuff but I'm not gonna skip to it, nor am I gonna continue reading something I don't like.

Learning nippongo really did fuck me up. Despite finding it to be an extremely easy VN to read, with how beloved it is by so many people my brain anxiously assumes that I'm just blatantly misunderstanding and not comprehending the text. Like I can't possibly dislike it, it's just that my Japanese is too awful. Which doesn't make any sense, as I've read much harder things and loved them. I don't like not liking this VN either, I'm actually pretty disappointed but I ended up ruining my entire NEET day just because I felt like a failure for NOT liking it. I'll never understand anons who can so proudly say stuff is shit, I guess I do it too sometimes but it hurts when something just doesn't click. Sorry for my autism.

>>
>>50874190
>with how beloved it is by so many people my brain anxiously assumes that I'm just blatantly misunderstanding and not comprehending the text
I'm a huge contrarian so I never have this issue. When I dislike something popular my brain just assumes that everyone else in the world must be wrong and clearly only my genius self who has perfect taste can truly perceive reality.

But no, you're not alone. I was excited to read some of Nasu's stuff in Japanese because I'd tried it in English and thought it was terrible. I assumed I just disliked it because of the translation, but no, it actually turns out I don't like his writing at all regardless of language.
And you shouldn't ever feel bad about this stuff because it's never that you "didn't get it", and you'll permanently never be able to enjoy it. It might just not have clicked with you yet. I've completely flipped my opinion on some of the things I've read after going back and giving them a second chance; maybe this is one of those times for you.
>>
>>50874194
It wouldn't have mattered, if anything I'm pretty confident that my Japanese fiction reading comprehension is better than my English. It's moreso, being a NEET I've tied too much personal worth into knowing Japanese that I get anxious easy over it, and whenever I dislike a classic my brain tells me it's a failure of language, rather than me just not enjoying something.

>>50874196
I'd wanna do the OG, I did hear after looking stuff up that the Near Side stuff is better in the remake, so if I ever go back it'd be through that but if anything I might just power through the end of Arc's route and call it.

>>50874208
>I'm a huge contrarian so I never have this issue. When I dislike something popular my brain just assumes that everyone else in the world must be wrong and clearly only my genius self who has perfect taste can truly perceive reality.
My self-esteem is just too low for me to think like this (for the most part). And it's true I can always go back, my brain is just stupid. Thanks for the response though it made me feel better, I can't seem to click with Nasu's writing either.
>>
>>50874190
>I felt like a failure for NOT liking it
This is a dumb mentality. If you look at old egs reviews you will likely find a JP with the same complaints as you.
>>
>>50874196
It does that by making Ciel's route fucking garbage.

>>
>>50874240
I know it's dumb, I'm just venting because it's something I occasionally struggle with and anons calling me a retard usually helps. I'll maybe power through the end of Arc and then move on.

You can play the Far Side after just one Near Side route, so you can go directly to Akiha's route. I was not a fan of Arcueid's route either as it just felt like typical shounen slop, but the Far Side routes are a lot more atmospheric and melancholic.
>>
Finished anemoi, to summarize it's even more of a melting pot of all past key plots than sumpock.
Don't play it if you don't like tragic endings, it's even more extreme than past games with this shit.
For people who want some spoilers
every heroines, and some side ones, and I do mean EVERY is either dead, dying or some sort of energy being that disappear in the wind. There is a Clannad after story style scenario following Spica's route where she and Mugi start living together, this scenario ends with her giving birth and disappearing in the void, by that time every other heroines is gone forever, that includes Rikka the sister.

the final scenario is about him raising his daughter with the help of the town, she almost disappear too but end up becoming super immortal jesus instead, by that time she is 10 and will never grow up much to her dismay, the route ends with her going on her journey to find a way to get her mother back, leaving her father to wait. And boy does he wait, the epilog happens 60 years later, where she finally comes back with Spica (or is it a dream? dum dum) during his final moment, he dies in Spica's arms, the end

I would say don't force yourself to go through the remake afterwards. Give it some time, and then years later then try either the remake or mahoyo once you're craving to get immersed in something. Because I had the same experience as you, read tsukihime first long ago in ENG didn't vibe with it, read it when I got good at JP, affirmed that it just wasn't for me. But at some point I ended up just really wanted to read something I can get my teeth into, the shiny new remake got my attention, and once I tried it I got sucked in. Made me go back to the og, and properly go through the whole nasuverse even immersing myself in shitty spinoffs. Enjoyed every bit. I can't really explain why, the content was the same, Nasu's style of writing and "tastes" in certain things were just as understood as before, but this time actually clicked for me and ended up being an invaluable experience.

It's kind of frustrating that we work this way. It feels like no matter how much we try to look at things objectively and logically dissect reasons why we like or don't like something, why we feel certain ways, those feelings are just so inconsistent. Just hurts my pride and sense of identity, I don't know. Same experience happened to me with Haruhi by the way.

This is it lads, eroge/VNs no longer works as escapism for me(almost 13 years reading).
Last year i only read 4(i dropped one and only read one single route from the other), and this year i still have not started anything because they no longer work, i lived a frugal life with different kind of shit jobs for years with no regards for my future since i had videogames and visual novels to escape to, so during all that time i didn't care about my current situation, but that no longer works and i've woken up from my dream, and now i feel dread.
Im going to quit my job, move back to my parents place and see if i can change things for the better.

Sorry for blogshit, If you are a retard like i was(32yo) always keep in mind this can happen to you and your "drug" will stop working, so you better start building a contingency plan in case this happens to you.
>>
>>50874884
If it's an untranslated vn on nyaa, you should type in japanese, not in romaji. Eroge are only available on sukebei nyaa.

Shinnuku is lowkey better than nyaa for niche VNs. For example you won't find 蒼色輪廻 on nyaa, but there are multiply releases for it on shunnuku. (生肉 is japanese release, 熟肉 is chinese translation)

As others said, there is also ryuugames, but most download links are dead, and terabox's speed sucks ass if you don't have a premium

>>
>>50875477
Do you daydream? In the end my escapism boils down to what's in my head, vns and such are just supplements for that. I practically live for playing a good immersive fantasy in my head, so take media consumption away from me and I'd still be content (I'd just be less creative.) If somehow I stop feeling anything from even this form of escapism though, then I'd probably just call life quits then and there. When you say you're changing things for the better, it makes it seem like you enjoy other things in life than simply escaping into fantasy. So your "drug" in this case was probably just getting in the way of those other things, and now you're on your way to living the normalfag lifestyle that your values have already queued you for.
>>
>>50875477
Did you only read for escapism? That never worked for me. On the contrary, I can never really enjoy a VN if something irl is bothering me.
>>
>>50875483
No i never did, i watched the anime back in 2012 so i always felt like i spoiled myself the important things already
>>50875516
I liked fate since it was what got me into eroge, damekoi, planetarian/tsui no stella(i fucking love post-apocalyptic settings where the mc is practically alone), amakano, niizuma x cation(this was the last i enjoyed in 2024 and it was really unique)
>>50875535
I never was really a fan of nukige, always ended up losing interest after a few H-scenes
>>50875562
Yeah i do all the time, specially with my favorite heroines, i think that was part of the problem since is not that effective anymore
>it makes it seem like you enjoy other things in life than simply escaping into fantasy
lol no, what i meant is that now i lost the last thing that made me feel happiness(eroge) and now i just feel empty, the "drug" part was to say it was like alcohol, an analgesic, so now its time to find something else.
>>50875605
At first i didn't, but after a few years i realized it was better and more satisfactory than real life so it ended up becoming my reality since it was really easy to get immersed.
>>
>>50874963

I think it's just part of growing up. If you felt the exact same way about everything no matter how much time passed, it'd mean you weren't developing as a person.

I'm not talking about losing your inner youth, I'm talking about your perspective changing as you gain experience.
For example, I've always done some writing, but over the past few years I've been doing much more than I ever had before. So now more often when I read a story I'll put myself in the author's shoes and think about why they made the decisions they did. And this sometimes leads me to finding something to appreciate about a story and thus liking a story where I wouldn't have found that and wouldn't have enjoyed it, say, five years ago. And in some other cases I find something I used to enjoy is no longer quite so much to my taste. But much more of the former than the latter.
This kind of shift in perspective is normal and healthy, and it doesn't require to sacrifice your inner child and become a normie to experience it.

>>50886350
It's actually pretty interesting. The soul of a heroine who died in a horse race is trapped within it. The white hair girl, Supika, came to the town to find a cure to extract her soul from the horse and free it. It's her grandmother, but she died while she was young, so she retains her more youthful look.

I'm serious. That's the central conflict. The soul in the horse is the main heroine, and she is the original owner of the body of his sister, who is travelling with him. His sister (current) is an android. The long journey the protagonist talks of is him literally travelling from the past to the future. That's what the storm does. It tosses you around to different points in your life. He came from the past because he was looking for a time when someone would be born with the power to free the soul from the horse (the other heroines)

Are the character routes better? I'm still in common too, but I've booted up the game so many times cuz I've read it in small bursts. Don't know what's the issue really, I liked Musicus so the direction ca'nt be it, most of the girls are good, the scenaio's concept is better than supernatural shit they finally pulled away from. Yet I still can't push myself through this shit, no amount of yuzusoft magical production value is helping.

The only important thing about a heroine is how you feel about her.
I could buy the intellectual property rights to your favorite heroine's visual novel and make a sequel where she hooks herself on drugs and gets twenty STDs from loose sex and dies from aids. Would that change how you feel about her? SHOULD that change how you feel about her?
You're the audience. You're the important person here. The story exists for you.
If there's a shitty sequel, you can and should say, "That doesn't count because I say so."
If you dislike one of the people who created a heroine you love, you can and should say, "They don't count because I say so." Even if it's for a really shitty reason like not being able to accept someone because they are a real flawed human being, like you and me and everyone else is.
I think the healthier thing to do in the long term would be to come to terms with that. Maybe watch some interviews with some seiyuu who voiced characters you love, try to see things from their perspective and appreciate them.
But you don't have to. You can absolutely just say, "The version of this heroine that exists within my soul is the only one that matters to me."

>Didnt expect it but awayuki route made me cry a bit, that ending sequence was really cool
Does game have usual maeda-like nakige drama, or did they change things a bit?
>>
>>50892335
The drama doesnt feel needlessly heavy like what maeda always do, it's more on the lighthearted side with high pacing where you dont really feel any burden reading it but you also dont feel much emotional impact either until you reach the very climax
It doesnt help that the setting of the route is pretty ridiculous and comes out of nowhere with no explanations or connection to the main game whatsoever
The concept was still really cool and not something you see often so if you manage to disable your brain and enjoy the picture it can get pretty enjoyable

The worldbuilding is BA, the OST is somehow even more BA. Bro should just go write for a gacha at this point.

I don’t know the writer, but the second I saw the constant proper-noun spam and the “new route, new faction” structure, I knew this was a certified LN slop merchant at work. The Sakura route actually balances the romance and lore pretty well, but the other three are just mid moege padding into “wait, what are we even fighting now?” territory. Not really my thing.

Every fight is the same “FRIENDSHIP! LOVE! BONDS!” power-of-feelings charge-in. By the end I was fully checked out, because apparently emotional conviction is now a combat system. The TE does nail a pretty romantic atmosphere by the end, but the boss’s motivation still made me feel like I was reading on 2 HP.

I liked the white-haired miko in the back half of the blondie route, though. Tragic that she doesn’t get her own route.

Redhead route was just doing too much.

Imouto route: the nukige bits honestly wreck the pacing. Easily the biggest “what are we even fighting for?” episode of the whole thing.

WTF Blue archive is like that? I gotta hop on that soon.

I started reading it because anemoi torrent wasn't up for a while and ended up prioritizing it even after it was up. Granted I only did Not-Suzakuin route for now and hopped back on anemoi, but setting idea is great and OST is great and chara designs are great. I thought Yureaka was their peak, but it's up there.
I'll go back to side routes after anemoi, but good to know I can just skim them while stroking my dick looking at pretty colors ^_^

This is true for the majority of chinese gacha for what I hate them with a passion (such as characters completely disappearing from the story the moment their banner ended ect.) and that's exactly the reason why BA stands out so much. All of the characters no matter how old they are keep constantly recurring in the story and keep their original relevance. The worldbuilding is really impressive for a gacha game and even though there are many weak parts such as beginning, the highs are definitely worth your time.
>>
>>50893222
What I’m saying is the fact that it is a gacha influences the way the story is written. It doesn’t matter if you watch it on youtube or not.
>>
>>50893228
Eh, I’m skeptical. This is not the first gacha I’ve seen people make this claim for. Either way Totsuraba has a leg up over Blue Archive since it actually has an ending, sex scenes, and voice acting.
>>
>>50893259
I also was skeptical since I had zero good experience with gachas before so I didn't get into it till like 2 years ago. What managed to hook me is randomly getting recommended the PVs on yt and getting impressed with the music (which is the strongest part of the entire game for sure).
What got me to actually stick was the ridiculous amount of fan art content it gets, no eroge ever can compete with the amount of sex even some of the least popular characters get.
For eroge you finished it, fapped just enough and then the game starts slowly fading in your memory unless you decide to reread it one day. Meanwhile with BA it's just non stop stream, I can keep fapping to the same few characters every single day for years and there will constantly be a flow of new content with them flooding my twitter and pixiv feed every single day, and even after 2 years none of the original characters I fell for from the beginning have faded up for me even for one bit.

This is exactly why I hate gacha fans. Who the fuck wants an endless stream of slop instead of a perfectly curated experience where you know that every single detail had a purpose? Is this how all gacha players think? I don’t want endless entertainment, I want something with a vision.
>>
>>50893344
You can always have both. I always going to value the the properly crafted game with definitive ending more as the emotional impact you get from it will always be higher. But I also got to enjoy the day to day experience I get especially on the busy days. Just scrolling up phone and getting some cute manga or art with the characters I love is already enough to make my day, and if you consider all the fan content as slop you probably haven't seen much because the quality here can go really damn high.

>Who the fuck wants an endless stream of slop
You could argue the same with any long running series be it VN, LN or manga. The difference between a endless wave of slop or a sequence of perfectly curated experiences is just the writers team talent. I feel like the main problem for Gacha's is just locking down that S tier poster boy writer for 3+ years to write all the story. Even games like Heaven burns red or Fate grand order that are sold on the main writers involvement (Maeda and Nasu) outsources large chunks of story content to different writers. The (admittedly many) problems that arise from the Gacha format are small fry compared to that.
>>
>>50893527
>be it VN, LN or manga
dishonest cope, linnies and manga are a serialized medium therefore they will never be kino

99% of vinnies aren't a "long-running series", that's why they are good, because the ending is already set in stone at release
>>
>>50893527
When you force a writer to write something for years it inevitably going to lose the quality over time as it will slowly be turning from a passion project to just work and a chore to do for the paycheck so I would rather them outsource when necessary to different writers so long it's under control of the main director. The gacha stories always tend to be resurrecting once something happens to the main writer...
>>
>>50893527
this is correct. non-serialized VNs have the same problem with multiple writers
>>
>>50893657
Multiple writers problem is so apparent with key and especially now with anemoi

Every time I open Duckstation, I think about how lovely all the Sister Princess PSX game covers look.

supposed to be like prefect edition but azarashisoft wasn't clear on this

Is there an anemoi crack that won't set off every antivirus in the world
>>
>>50893466
No.
>>
>>50895512
Antiviruses are Reddit.
Just use your experience to recognize what's safe.

Seems like youre lucky.
You can get the disc version update 1.1 from AS, apply it and then use a crack for it which seems to be a simple DVD check being patched out.
>>
>>50895446
You made me excited because i thought it was an append patch with some extra story timeskip :(
>>
>>50895446
Isn't it just a sprite viewer and stuff like that?
>>
how does anemoi compare to summer pockets
>>
>>50897019
the same. i guess the dialogue has a bit more depth than what felt like a childrens book with samapoke but if you didn't like it you wont like anemoi either. if youre still burnt out on that 50 hour playthrough, pushing through anemoi is going to feel the same too.
i dont know what it is about modern key but i just don't really like this direction. its shiny and new though so erogamers still eat it up, im a victim of this too

I don't think the person who arranged those games necessarily put them in order of perceived quality
>>
>>50897427
it isn't?

Just turn it upside down.

ONE is essence of late 90s kino, in a sense it captures vibe of depression in japanese youth of that time and desire for eternal happiness and safe place.
only outright cringy bad parts are SOME H-scenes(not even all of them, like half of them were perfectly fine), otherwise I understand why this was such big hit back then and why it resonated with its audience so much.

never recover from rewrite yeah

Maybe it's such a good game people are making a profile just to vote for it?
>>
>silky smooth 240 FPS

Seems like our guys at Favorite knew how to cook an engine.

When you guys are not vibing with a game how long does it take for you to just move on to another game instead of just struggle through it? When you do actually move on how often do you revisit the game that you dropped?
>>
>>50901545
immediately, there's too many vns to bother with something you're not having fun with
>>
>>50901549
The thing is I think I'm too fucked in the head in thinking that I must like the game so I struggle through days of agony and end up wasting more time compared to if I just dropped it earlier. I should drop more often since there are many vns and video games that I want to play.
>>
Literally me. Been doing better now that I've gave myself more leeway dropping anything at literally any time. I still end up going back to things again if I get a sudden flash of being in the mood for it once more, and even if then I wanna drop it again I will. Sure, not remembering things, needing to start over, needing to reinstall split rar iso's from shitty download hosts, it all does suck a bit. But I'm assured its practically always there for me if I wanna return.
So that assured feeling while actively experiencing vns, is better than that feeling of stagnant agony when I tried to force standards on myself, which just shackles me into inactivity. Literally just do what you feel like, when you do. Much less regrets this way, finished way more vns like this.

My problem with Summer Pockets was that it simply wasn't funny
with other Key's works its like the drama gets inversely more sadder the more I enjoy the SoL parts
>>
naaah it was funny you are capping fr bro
>>
>>50901545
If i dont feel like reading certain game I will just move to another game and come back when im in a mood for speedreading the slop, and i almost never do more than 1 route in any charage
>>
>>50901909
It's exactly the same with anemoi, they keep trying to replicate the weird maeda humor but it haven't got me to laugh even once so far, you just can't replicate the soul anymore no matter how much you try
