Eustia uses a bunch of weird kanji, in part due to its apparent allergy to katakana (the only katakana loanword I can remember it using outside of names is, hilariously, ペニス). Lots of political terms and titles, as already mentioned.

Didn't realize how much I missed Choco-chip onee-sans until Bakuane. Feels good.
Hope she stays in the business for a good while again.

>>11871015
Is choco chip confirmed to be a female illustrator? I'm also playing through Bakuane and it's pretty delicious but I've never seen confirmation on choco chip's gender. If it's true that would probably mean my preference of illustrators gravitates more to the side of female illustrators rather than male illustrators.

i'm looking foward for a VN that isn't nakige shit or yadda yadda, a VN with an actual consistent and good plot

>>11871034
vndb.org/v1292

Please help me to find the name of VN with really good animated (almost animated, I mean there were a lot of different screens) fight scene: a man against a monster resembling a golden wolf. Not sure if it was translated or not. Thanks in advance.

>>11871043
Mahoyo.

>>11871029
There was an autograph event before the Bakuane release. She's supposedly pretty hot with an ex-yankee mom look.

>>11871045
Oh god I am such a retard asking for a TM title. I should read it.

>>11871043
>>11871045
Mahoutsukai no Yoru for the full name.
The translation is finished and will be through editing and patching soon™.

>>11871034
http://vndb.org/v1439

>>11871060
Nobody asked about translation, go to VNTS thread if you want to discuss that shit.

>>11871067
No one deserves commie translated shit, man. Not even lazy EOPs.

>>11871090
Why do you care?

>>11871067

He did mention he didn't know if it was translated or not, and therefore it was simply clarification.

Take it easy.

>>11871096
I just feel bad for people receiving awful translations, regardless about the work by itself. But I shouldn't care at all about that, yeah.

Finished Bertille's route. Not gonna bother with the rest, it was kind of bubbly and irrelevant and sometimes funny, but all in all, the jousting was too boring to go through two more sittings.

I tried Dies Irae but I don't like it as much as I hoped. Which is strange as I'm usually a sucker for over the top stuff. I think my problem is that I really don't like the MC and the story takes itself too seriously while being so ridiculous. Hell, even the few hours of Muramasa I've read by now had a few jokes that made me laugh.

Currently taking a look at Muramasa because my Japanese is much better that it was one year ago when I tried it for the first time. I like it so far, despite the mock up not-Japan history being tedious at times.

Finished Wanko's route in Majikoi and now I'm not sure if I'll be able to play any other route because I liked her too much.

>>11871057
Damn, imagining choco chip as such drawing those lewd Event CG is pretty appealing.

>>11871137
I know how you feel, man. Wanko was heads and shoulders above the rest of the heroines.

I still folded for the fandisk though because I really liked Kokoro.

Going through Kimikishi - I like the MC is a schemer, uses brain and not afraid to take whatever chance that's offered to him. Now the problem is whether it can keep up, as character's intelligence can't exceed the writer's, and whether this trait simply gets whitewashed when you hit the heroine route and go fluffy.

>>11871166
I kinda wish I hadn't started with her route, but I ended up loving her as early as the Prologue, so nothing could have kept me from starting with her.

>>11871119

>>11871168
I can't remember much protagonists who uses underhanded tactics besides Yamato from majikoi, maybe the prot of HHG too.

>>11871126
>I tried Dies Irae but I don't like it as much as I hoped.
I'd suggest at least try sticking through the first two routes if you didn't read that far already. The first one is a bit meh until the very end, but stuff really picks up during Kei's route. The beginning and all slice of life parts were easily DI's weakest point.

Also agree with the dunce protagonist. Almost all of the antagonists ended up being much more memorable and likeable than anyone in the "good guys" camp.

>>11871190
I see, I may do that, though I'm probably going to stick with Muramasa for now.

On a side note, how's KKK compared to DI?

>>11871185

I guess it's just that taxing and unpopular for the writer's head as personally wouldn't mind reading more. Looking at how kimikish progresses, I guess the whole thing is a little bit on the short end, like 20 hours or less.

>>11871168
He's certainly pretty dedicated to his objective.

I've only done Vivian's route and his tactician side did get thrown out, but not thanks the reasons you might be expecting, for better or for worse. It also confirmed my suspicions that her route was going to be an extra for a variety of reasons, but at least it was quite sweet while it lasted.

I plan on doing Ruruka's sometime soon, but so far I'm left with the impression that it could stand to be more fluffy. I thought I was getting a moenukige and lots of tits, but then it decided it was time for serious plot.

>>11871199
KKK had more likeable protagonists, much speedier start and in my opinion the game being shorter served well in cutting down the repeated exposition and some needless slice of life that DI had. Also having a more interesting setting helped a lot.

As negatives the antagonists were less varied / not as interesting and the story got a bit too preachy towards the end. KKK also had some big issues with pacing due to how the "routes" were structured. Basically each character pairing epilogue ended right before the very final climax and each time you were forced to start from the very beginning in order to read every pairing specific brief branch which was quite jarring.

Also in case you didn't already know, reading DI before KKK is essential or you won't understand anything that's going on.

>>11871034
Watch out, we're dealing with an expert here.

>>11871218
From what i can tell sofar, the serious plot is kept to the true ending.

>>11871137
Why would you restrict yourself to just one route in that series? it might be the best route for a in terms of character development but even then that character development is mainly restricted to Wanko herself.

Silly hair accessories. Your stance on it?

>>11871636
My stance is that your stance is shit

>>11871401
>Why would you restrict yourself to just one route in that series? it might be the best route for a in terms of character development but even then that character development is mainly restricted to Wanko herself.
Because sometimes I end up liking a character so much that going for any other route feels like betrayal.
Autistic as fuck, but I don't really care.

who is your VN waifu

>>11871664
Yours, but only when you aren't around.

>>11871649
Almost every game has at least one heroine with a useless accessory, so I get used to it, at least some are cute.

>>11871685
I will probably get around to playing them eventually, but I guess I just need time to let Wanko's route sink in first.

>>11871658

Oh well, all i can tell you is that you are missing out on alot but it's your own choice.

>>11871636
How else can we tell characters apart?

>>11871687

Good point.

>>11871688

You have played her afterstory as well i hope?

>>11871703
Of course. Like I would miss such a thing for a girl I love.

>>11871708

I meant her afterstory+ in S

>>11871636
Names that seem to be made by throwing handfuls Katakana magnets at a surface that they'll stick to and making a name out of what sticks bothers me more.

>>11871717
Not yet, since I didn't bother getting S yet since I figured I'd want to finish all routes in the original first.

>>11871636
The sillier the better. Unless the game is trying to be serious.

>>11871185
The protagonist from コンチェルトノート loved using underhanded tactics too.

I just finished the fate route of fate/stay night
I wasn't very satisfied with the ending, but should I keep playing for the other endings?
Which ending is best?

>>11871792
>>>/vg/
>>>/a/

>>11871792
You've not finish the game until you are done with all routes.

>>11871801
That's not an ending.

>>11871792
>>11871810

Just Keep Playing. it wouldn't be that damn popular if everything was like the Fate route.

hi i want to play s;g and marry okarin is that possible???

>>11871846
no because your tiny penis cannot satisfy him

>you can't screw the trap
>you can only end up with her when you change her to a chick via microwavetexting

>>11871893
I was quoting my disappointments

>>11871892
Who are you quoting?

>>11871894
Not a quote.

>>11871892
And you still can't screw her because no sexual content.

What's a good emo eroge?

I want a MC who doesn't stop wallowing in self pity

>>11872415
天使のいない12月is supposed to be infamous for this, I think

>>11872415
I'm pretty certain most NTR games are like that, in particular I recommend Gatenkei, truly a kamige.

Is there any point in not putting your first 10 characters in the back two rows for physical defense up?

>>11871910

The Rukako End CG has implied sex.

>>11872731
Not really, later on you get better formations and all.

Are there any VNs that run at 1920 x 1080? Getting a bit tired of 800 x 600.

>>11872768
The middle point between those is 720, the current standard.

>>11872769
Alright thanks.

>>11872768
>>11872769
Funny, I was just discussing maybe just a depressing, annoying monologue this with a friend and how one of the few situations I've seen scaling done well is with ωstar and the Biman series, which can use up to Lanczos resampling instead of the usual bilinear most engines use.

>>11872816
Some companies use it, I was reading komorebi no nostaglica, the problem for me is always the font which tends to upscale like crap, not in this game though.

>>11872816
>>11872820
I don't know the technical side of scaling, but the engine that August games use seem to upscale to 1920x1080 pretty well.

>>11872828
Doesn't look as sharp as the original size.

>>11872828
you make a pixel of color x into 4 pixels of color x --> everything scaled to factor 2
further questions?

>>11871137
>>11871177
>>11871658
Are you me? I felt the same exact way after finishing her route. It took me a good 2 months before I started going through the other routes. Thats when I realized that shes my waifu.

>>11872859
>It took me a good 2 months before I started going through the other routes

I don't think I'll ever understand this.

>>11872873
I'm still mad at how they ruined Seiso. To think I eagerly waited for this shit.

>>11872874

How did they "ruin" her exactly?

>>11872873
You don't understand true love, obviously.

>>11872900

You finish the game, and then replay the route and leave it as the impression you had for the game overall.

>>11872911
What? Sorry, I just came in here to add my sarcastic comment, I wasn't even part of the original conversation!

>>11871233
A bit late, but thanks for the info, I didn't know that.

Finished Daitoshokan.
As I expected, it wasn't nearly as good as Eustia, but the game was interesting so they didn't completely waste the money they got with it.
The worst part really was that, except for Kodachi, all the heroines I was interested in(Mochzuki, Ureshino) were only side routes, and they kept pushing that moeblob that isn't nearly as cute as Eustia in my face.
The plot was pretty interesting on the other hand, and I wish there was a route where Kakei becomes a shepherd and goes on adventures with his father.
I also really enjoy what august does with hair and cloth textures, it reminds me of the Steins;Gate art.
Have they announce what's going to be on the fandisc? And how is Houkago shippo days?

>>11873074
>I also really enjoy what august does with hair and cloth textures
Yeah I like the soft colours, it's pastel, right?

>>11873114
I think he means the soft overlay of a sort of cloudy texture instead of a solid color

>>11873074
Houkago Shippo Days is way too short for it's own good. It's takes about 2 hours to do both routes and the characters didn't have the time to be developed enough. The new protagonist also has nothing on Kakei. Still, it's not bad for the time it lasts, but it should have been longer..

The fandisc has new stories for both heroines and sub-heroines, new stories for the Houkago Shippo Days characters (this time with porn) and a route for Aoi.

>>11873136
Who wants a route for Aoi?

>>11873141
I want one.

And also a threesome with the council president she loves so much, if possible.

>>11873150
Aoi + pres route, ok
Kakei + Aoi please no

>>11873136
I see, I'll play it just because it's so short in that case. Not really excited about the Aoi route, but more Ureshino has me interested.

>>11873121
Yeah, that's what I meant. I don't thing they did it in Eustia, but it looks pretty nice.

Kanasuke >Senri >>> the rest

>>11873171
Why the fuck don’t I remember this CG?
I am really losing all conficence in my brain.

>>11873183
Because you don't do all routes?

The story in 12の月のイヴ made no fucking sense.

>>11873205
>nukige
>story
yeah right

I too miss the days when Minori was not totally broke, but they need some cash now.

>>11873207
>nukige
I wish.
They're way better at making porn than they ever were at writing stories so I certainly don't miss anything.

>>11873188
No, I did Tamamo. I did everything.

Did anyone here played 追奏のオーグメント? I was wondering if I should pick... It has a decent score on egs and the premise sounds cool, any opinions?

>>11873205
I wonder how was Anzu's route? Looks like it was written by some 新人 writer.

>>11873341
It was an okay moege. Don't expect too much of the premise, it's not worked out as much as it could have been, that part was kind of disappointing. If you go in expecting an enjoyable kyarage it's worth a go.

Keep in mind I haven't played the fandisk, so I don't know if that adds to it or not.

>>11873350
thank you for not using "charage"

>>11873341
Game felt unfinished/rushed but it's entertaining and rather unique.

>>11870352
That does feel pretty true so far, but she seems a little more mean spirited with her insults. That might just be from how her sprite was drawn though.

Koiken gets a fandisc what the fuck I am so mad when I find out. It was shit

What's the most disturbing vn that you guys ever read?

>>11873644
MLA, I think. Before that, Saya no Uta.

>>11873644
Semen inferno

>>11873647
It wasn't really disturbing. Sure, the Sumika tentacle rape scene was kinda hard but it's not something you would call "most disturbing", unless you're not into these VNs.

>>11873725
Chomp was very disturbing to me at the time. I was so shocked I had to stop playing for a few hours and cry "Marimo-chan!" over and over in the shower. It was the first VN I read that was like that.

The rape didn't really disturb me, it was just out of place and weird.

>>11873644
Also, Kara no Shoujo was very disturbing to me at certain parts. I loved it.

He probably posted it in the wrong thread.

>>11874132
Good month for nukiges. Not so good for eroges. Playing Lump of Sugar's now and it's kind of meh.

Cute little sister heroine though.

>>11874508
Totally doesn't resemble Mashiro or anything.

>>11872415
The Mc at もっと 姉、ちゃんとしようよっis kinda like that,he is always saying "mother died because of me,if i died things wouldnt be like that,i dont deserve to live" etc.

Playing Chusingura and being quite surprised. I expected it to be crap (ultra cliche pitch + pretty bad rainbow char design unsuited to a historical drama) but it actually manages to have a pretty decent plot alongside engaging characters. I only did one part and a half tho.

>>11873644
euphoria without question. Most of the time I just wanted to NOPE the fuck out and uninstall the game, but other part of me also wanted to know what the hell was going.

>>11874756
is euphoria worst than mindead blood and gore screaming show?

>>11874508
Has there ever been a worthwhile Lump of Sugar game? I played through Tayutama and Nursery Rhyme but didnt think they were particularly amazing.

>>11875219
Yes.

What safe for work VN do you guys refer to newbies who are trying to play through?

I am trying to think of a safe for work VN in moon that I could play through to listen to as I read the text, but I am coming up with blanks.

Stop playing games at work and do your job.

>>11875455

I just started reading Ciel nosurge on the VITA a bit ago and my japanese is horribly weak so I've had to look up nearly every single kanji by the radicals. I don't actually mind it much since I am learning while reading and adding all the vocab to an anki deck, but darn I was hoping I would be able to get through the bulk of it by the time Ar no Surge came out in a month and that's not seeming likely anymore.

>>11875455

None. Your coworkers will think you are a huge faggot and you will be ostracized, teased, and mocked. And you would deserve it for not understanding the social perceptions of your coworkers.

...

Fine. Umineko. That one works and has no sexual content.

Steins; Gate. True Remembrance. Higurashi.

Aside from that, you could be not completely retarded, and recognize when H scenes are coming, and then ctrl though them.

But still, don't be a fucking idiot. Keep this shit on the down low. Or don't fucking watch it at work you dumb fuck.

But I still think that no VN is safe for work as it will mix your faggot hobby with your career. Do not do that.

>>11875467
I should play Ciel no surge too but the infinite DLC shit is annoying.
I bet it will get a price cut just before Ar no Surge so I'll wait for that

Got Mayuri's ending in Steins;Gate and tried out a few different things before finally giving up and deciding to resort to a walkthrough. I can't even begin to imagine the frustration of people who had to complete this without using one. I mean, backtrack halfway through the game and then get all these right?

This is about as horrifying as Caucasus was.

>>11875686
They're a lot easier to guess than Caucasus, at least it's messages for Kurisu.

>>11875686
There are worse. For example, Clannad.
And shameful as it maybe, even Saya's route in LB EX was the same for me.

>>11875686

I just shamelessly follow a guide for this - quite a few flags were not obvious to me, more so the text messages (reply) are only possible once you click.

>>11875252
magicha is lump's next best thing to itsusora, though this is by virtue of being a compelling, creative moege that does what it sets out to do well than by being written by shumon

what does autumn refer to here? thx.

>>11875999
The trilogy of the classic Key works all have a main season. The only one that hasn't been used yet is autumn.

Finished Steins;Gate after over one hour of skipping already read text. Seriously fuck that pacing ruining flag hunt. Otherwise an awesome game, one of the few titles where I never got bored.

Are any of the spin-off stuff worthwhile? My brother who watched the anime adaption suggested we'd watch the movie together, but I'm worried it would somehow ruin the general feel of game's conclusive true ending.

>>11876074
The OVA follows right after the true end, tells you about the relationship between Kurisu and Okabe after it, it's worth it.
Movie is exclusively Kurisu pandering, if you like her or want Asami Imai having monologues for 90 minutes, watch it.

>>11876079
I personally found the movie very good. It doesn't ruin the original series and I'm not even a Kurisufag. But of course, I'm biased since I saw the anime before reading the VN

>>11876139
I honestly thought it added nothing, a literal 'so what?' after finishing it, despite me liking Kurisu.
I really liked how they finished the movie though, nothing better than Kurisu kissing shota Okabe to tie him down.

>>11876074
I liked the anime, OVA is badly bad bad, and the movie is basically the same dilemma as the anime but it's Kurisu as the protag instead.

>>11876180
The OVA was really enjoyable, though... and it's a logical progression from the end of the series. The movie was not so much a logical progression.

>>11876074
I've only played the fan disc and it was pretty good. Some routes weren't that good, but others were great. If you liked any of the heroines from the original, you will probably enjoy the fan disc.
The OVA was ok in my opinion and I didn't really like the movie because it felt like they fucked the original to make some cash, but if you like kurisu you'll probably like it.

>>11876237
Absolutely nothing of worth or value happened in the OVA though. It wrapped things up that didn't need to be wrapped up.

Recently I feel like every three novels that I play かわしまりの has a role.

>>11876701
She's in everything. And I don't mind at all.
http://beautyplanets.web.fc2.com/VADB/actor/c_0025.html

>>11876709
Yeah, me too. I like her a lot, though when you compare some of her older roles are more "mechanic"/without the same emotion and you can see how she got better.

Is there any more famous actors than her, koori and aoyama?

>>11876725
Maybe 北斗南 http://beautyplanets.web.fc2.com/VADB/actor/c_0021.html

>>11876731
Yeah, she has a lot of roles, though I can't say I played her routes as many times as I did with the others, only about 4 or 5 times I guess. Past 2010 she seems to pick only a few novels to work

What's the name of the VN with the blonde, drill-haired girl that wears a red-white school uniform? I can't find it. It's fairly recent.

How do I go about extracting sprites, CGs and whatnot? ExtractData works most of the time but sometimes this happens. How come I can extract from much larger .pak files from the same game but a smaller one tells me I'm "out of memory"?

I can never get Crage to work either. Crage.exe just opens a cmd looking thing for half a second and closes. What am I doing wrong?

Are there any other simple tools I could try out?

tl;dr how does a newfag into data extraction?

>>11874508
>Good month for nukiges. Not so good for eroges.

>>11876836
Good month for sex. Not so good for stories.

There is none. He's mixing eroge and Visual Novels up.

>>11876848
>eroge and Visual Novels
What's the difference?

>>11876858
Visual Novels are masterpieces of the Japanese language while eroge is pornography that creepy old men masturbate to.

>>11876858

all eroge are visual novels
not all visual novels are eroge
not all eroge are nukige

some visual novels are eroge and some eroge are nukige
sorry bad writing i have autism

>>11876863
>all eroge are visual novels
But that's wrong.

>>11876858
Not every VN is an eroge and not every eroge is a VN. Every nukige is an eroge but not every eroge is a nukige.

>>11876863
Rapelay is an eroge but not a visual novel.

>>11876861
Masterpiece.

I sort of wish the whole game looked like this. Or at least the MC.

>>11876758
Crage has a separate exe that works as a GUI. Open with that.
Not sure what's going wrong with ExtractData, though. Which game is it that you're trying to extract from?

>>11876863
>all eroge are visual novels
Since when?

Why are dating sims dead in the current eroge industry? I found them to be quite entertaining and it was nice how you could go after your preferred heroine right off the bat, instead of being forced through some filler story for 25+ hours before you can finally get close to her.
Why are they so unpopular now?

>>11877407
Instead you would just spend 25 hours grinding stats.

>>11877407
nerds just want the sex.

>>11877407
Kakyuusei 2 blowing up so spectacularly in ELF's face did nothing to help matters I'm sure as they were already sort of on the way out then.
Probably easier to make a straight VN while conforming to consumer expectations about about length instead of having to worry about events and their interaction, and so forth.
That, and people probably don't want to have to exert the effort. I mean, I get sort of annoyed when replaying routes in a game with a lot of choices if there's no skip to next choice function, so I could see people getting annoyed at having to replay through the early sort of dull parts of a dating sim and what not.

It's moving closer and closer. The hype.

http://youtu.be/0dz7jmWrpMg

>>11878044
Why would anyone get hyped for this? I'm not saying Daitoshokan was a bad game nor that the sequel is going to be shit, but the only route who need a continuation is Tamamo because they never got to her, supposed, strict family and a route where he becomes a shepherd, though this can be considered as "bad" end, maybe working hard on the supposed main route (Kodachi) instead of giving a short second route for the other heroines that are just worst than the original would be a better idea for their next game.

Another thing is that I don't understand why they keep pushing Tsugumi as the main girl in all the shots that show them all together, even though Kodachi is the closest of a true route and Kanasuke is the most popular, or at least that's what some claims.

>>11878059
>why they keep pushing Tsugumi as the main girl

Because she is the standard front screen heroine, a safe choice where they could do no wrong. It's basically an anchor point/low bar where the writers pulls things together, even though Kodachi is the true link in shadow. They know their audience well, so it's doing a fan service by giving her a fair portion of content. Kodachi and Kana will be prominent though. IMO Senri was remarkably weak so I wonder if they address any of that.

March releases looking great for me, if they don't get any further delays.

>>11878059
>>11878081
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who likes Tsugumi.

>>11878083
I like her too, but I liked every character anyway.

>>11878081
Yeah, I can understand why they're sticking with the premise, but considering that people who's going to read the fd already finished the original it wouldn't be weird to have Kodachi on the cover, at least in my opinion.

I hope they don't stall it, so they can start working on the next project, though it will be a annoying month again with all the kanasuke fans.

>>11878083
I liked her, in fact all the girls, but she and senri were too "boring".

>>11878083

I don't dislike any of them, but whatever floats other people's boat.

Kimikishi is short as I expected - I wish they didn't neuter so many rivals right off the bat (8 gone from the start from 12). MC only schemes in battle, wish they could've written something more elaborate but I can see the writer isn't aiming for that sort of play. Outside the battles it feels eeriely short, like lacking preparation or some of the fluff you expect to see. It's a light read but not a cumbersome read like common moege/whatever, 7/10.

>>11878083
I like all the girls, that includes Tsugumi of course.

>>11878114
>I like all the girls

>>11878059
>supposed main route (Kodachi)
I guess I should have realised this, but guess I need to go back and play her then

>>11878044
>m-meeeeh~
Kanasuke > all

>>11878044
I love bungaku shoujo Kannasuke, hope her after story follows what her omake scenarios showed of her relationship with Kakei.
Also I want him to break little miss cunt vice president hard. That's all I want from the fandisk.

>>11878157
>not hoping for Aoi Maho threesome

>>11878160
That's inevitable, but she needs to become a nympho craving for dick, to a moege degree at least, like being horny as fuck all day then pseudo assaulting Kakei in the toilet.

>>11878143
You've a lot to read then, it's about 5~6 hours if you didn't even do the "common route part 2".

>>11878188
I did both Kana routes, does that count?

>>11878246
Yeah, you basically missed kodachi's side of the end which should be an hour of unread text tops.
I felt the true end for the other heroines was more fulfilling for the MC than what Kodachi's offered.

I feel like the arrogant rich ojou gets less and less love these days. A joke side route here, a minor antagonist with no route there, a quick fuckfest in a break-the-haughty nukige every now and then.

They're all soft-spoken modest rich girls now. I just want to love a rich bitch.

>>11878514
>They're all soft-spoken modest rich girls now.
Good. Soft spoken, mild mannered ojousamas are the best.

>>11878516
I disagree, but they're by no means bad. The loud bossy ones are just more fun. Seems like a waste of making her rich and powerful if all it means is her character is based around trying to play down the fact she's rich and powerful.

It'd be like a tsundere trying her hardest to not be tsundere. Actually never mind, that sounds really cute.

If you were honestly looking for an answer to this question, you just broke 3 of the biggest taboos of this thread:

1. Announcing you're a crossboarder (this should require no explanation)
2. Asking for recommendations as someone new (It is an exercise in futility as your tastes and/or fetishes are usually not the same as the next person's)
3. Not utilizing the archive (This same question has been endlessly repeated and I believe even the last thread had it)

So if you really want to start, don't be an ass, do some of the dirty work yourself and do your research and just try something out you like.

>>11878780
Already did that one, Erina was pretty good but she went way too dere way too fast to me.

Same complaint I have about a lot of moege, the common route is great and then the character route is all about her being the exact opposite from the traits that attracted you to her in the first place.

Can you guys suggest me some visual novels which have elves heroine-heroines but not nukige please? i have already played 天色＊アイルノーツ but its not what im searching,the heroine didnt feel like elf at all it was more like she just had some long ears.Also i have already played most of eushully games too, and it'd be great if it doesnt have gameplay anyway.

White Album 2.
I can extract the BGM, the voice clips, and I believe all the movies, but nothing else.

What's a good place to find VN's from the mid-2000s? I'm looking for the PC version of I/O spefically. Download would be great, but I'd be fine with buying it if it's not too expensive.
It's not in stock at Amazon.co.jp and they only have the PS2 version at YesAsia.

>>11879859
Sadly, it seems neither Crage nor ExtractData can handle the format. They go into some kind of infinite loop.

>>11880120
If Nyaa doesn't have it, Googling releasedate gamename usually does the trick. If not, check Share and/or PD.

As far as I/O specifically, it's on the FTP.

>>11880120
PS2 version should be easy enough to emulate, unless of course you're looking for the PC version for some specific reason.

>>11880145
thanks, I found it on the ftp. It's in the "being translated" category though. Do you happen to know if I can just play it raw or if I end up with some sort of half-translated garbage if I download this?

>>11880157
My laptop isn't fast enough to emulate PS2 games, and the PC version's artwork has higher resolution.

>>11880204
There's no patch out for I/O yet as far as I know, so even if it's "being translated" (heh), it'll still be the raw game.

>>11880204
Should be just the base game with no translation.

Does anyone have the hook code for ちいさな彼女の小夜曲 by any chance? I've tried numerous combinations in google and the archive and can't seem to find it. Same story with the AGTH database.

Why Meguri is so perfect? I wish I have an imouto like her...

>>11881370

Pleb-tier imouto.

>>11881359
Personally I didn't find it worth it reading all those routes just to unlock hers.

>>11881443
That's why there is the skip button.

>>11881474
I mean, her route itself wasn't very good. He should save himself the trouble and download the save data for the H-scenes.

>>11881484
I think it was the best route.

>>11881493
So you're saying the whole game wasn't very good?

I'm not really feeling this. The fights have been rather lame so far, both in concept and execution and they felt the need to tell me that Kaede doesn't have much experience with men at least five times up till now. Three of those in a supposed life or death situation during Dragonball like time outs.
Maybe I'm just not as patient as I used to be, but I'm not sure if I'll continue.

>>11881660
It's definitely not for everyone. The high point is chapter 5 so if you think you can continue try to at least make it that far.

What VN i'm playing at the moment

Do you drop VNs, /jp/? At what point do you decide to? It seems like a lot of VNs are supposed to be boring as shit and the payoff is at the end, 50 hours later. Or they look like ass and the art is supposed to be no indication of quality.

So when do you drop them?

>>11881985
I usually drop them after I finish the route(s) of the girls that are the most deserving of my penis.

>>11881985
2-3 hours in, if it doesn't grab my interest. I don't feel compelled to continue reading if 90% of it is going to be boring.

>>11881985

The moment I realize that I have to force myself to keep reading.

At the moment, I'm in exactly that situation with Daitoshokan. I don't really like moege, much less the high school centered species but I thought I might give it a shot after all the chorus of praise the game received here. Still, I think I'll at least finish one route. Who knows, maybe it gets better.

>>11882073
If you're reading it for the story you're in for a disappointment. I forced myself to read the true route and I don't think it was really worth it. It's probably one of the reasons why I dropped Eustia afterwards.

>>11881985

I don't drop anything. I just postpone it indefinitely.

>>11881985

At the point where playing the VN has not be interesting for a extended period of time. for me it's only a real problem when i play V7Nns with a large number of routes, tends to get bland very quickly

>>11881985
Basically >>11882090 it just feels like a waste to go through the downloading and installing updates and shit to just drop and delete them.
I only drop things that get really on my nerves because characters, drama or even gameplay.

>>11882090
This is how it always works out for me. It's not a conscious decision or anything.

>>11881985
I really, really want to drop Eustia or just put it on indefinite hold for a very long time. Which sucks because I'm not even done the first chapter, I love the setting and the atmosphere, the music is perfect ambiance, but Tia chafes against my soul like a bright pink cheese grater and she just did the most incomprehensibly, mind-fucking-bogglingly stupid thing, and I can't even bring myself to keep reading knowing the story is going to try and railroad me into sympathizing with her.

Normally it's just like >>11882090, if it gets boring it gets put on the backburner.

>>11882169
I didn't like Tia at first either, but she ended up growing on me. It helps that after the first chapter she kind of sits on the back burner for most of the game, so it didn't feel overly railroaded to me.

>>11882190
Fair enough, I expected that much, but right now I'm finding it extremely hard to work up a shred of pity for her. I'll just read something else until the rage wears off.

>>11882196
Wow you are retarded.
Well just drop that stupid shit, the story is utterly crap anyway.

>>11882169
>Tia chafes against my soul like a bright pink cheese grater
Chafe against your soul? It's like you have no soul in the first place. She's adorable.
What is the

that made you rage so much, anyway?

Finished 運命予報をお知らせします.
It was the first VN I've played that dealt so little with the girls themselves and so much with the whole concept of love. It was painful to play at times, because it kept reminding you that not everyone is a winner in a love story.
The worst part about it was definitely the MC. He kept being fooled by the "villain" character, and specially in Kaho's route was really hetare.
The game also had so many errors and voice/text inconsistencies that it makes me wonder if they play-tested it at all.
Though I did have a lot to complain, it was a pretty fresh experience, since I had never played anything quite like it before. Overall I had fun reading it, but it could've been much better implemented.

>>11882701
She drugs Caim and runs away out of some misplaced sense of being a burden and not being worth the care they're giving her, despite being reassured over and over again to just shut up and accept it.

She has to know if the wing hunters don't get her in seconds, some thugs will rape and murder her in a back alley before the night's even half over. No plan, no actual thought, just wasting all the efforts of everyone involved in some moronic self-sacrifice that will accomplish nothing except give Caim his (presumably) big hero moment.

I can handle that stuff in a silly moege because no one is expected to have any degree of intelligence, but this one keeps wanting me to take it seriously. And I can't take her seriously if she pulls something like that.

>>11882745
Glad you enjoyed it, I liked it a lot as well despite the evident low-budget-ness. It was a surprisingly different experience from what I expected.

I didn't find the MC bad at all, the only reason he was such a wuss around Kaho was because she'd already rejected him once, and said "villain" didn't help things with his master plan. That said he did swallow a lot of bullshit, or at least let himself get swayed multiple times by a proven pathological liar, so yeah.

Favourite girl?

>>11882838
Hime. I even did Kaho's route first so I could end the game with her. It was also my favorite route.
I guess he isn't that bad, but I have just recently played fureraba, so it was like heaven and hell.
Did the game sell well enough, at least for the company stay afloat? I'm interested in what else they could come up with.

>>11882819
Caim has his own reasons for keeping Tia, and in the beginning, he's not keeping Tia because he cares about her. But of course that doesn't mean he wants her to go out and kill herself either. Tia has realized the former, but not the latter. So she leaves, because that's what her personality is like. She's like sugary goodness incarnate. It's not that she doesn't know what'll happen to her. She feels that she's a burden to Caim, so she wants to get rid of that burden at any cost.

But really, if that makes you rage, you'll be throwing your computer out of the window by the final chapter. You might want to drop it well ahead.

>>11882819
Caim wanted to ditch her on the road after she's done her job. And he still plans to ditch her after she runs away. He only then changes his mind because he finds her action incomprehensible and reassures himself that he has to find out about the light. So she is a burden and in Sieg's mind not worth a cent but only trouble. When Tia stays with Caim she is putting him in danger of being caught by the hunters.
When she runs away, she is prepared to die so of course hunters and rapists are not what she's concerned about.

>>11882881
>and reassures himself that he has to find out about the light.
This was more like a case of fooling himself or trying to justify his own actions to himself, though. He had very slightly grown attached to her by then, and didn't want her to get killed/caught.

>>11882852
>Did the game sell well enough, at least for the company stay afloat?
I have no idea, but it only came out this year so hopefully. I'm fully on board if they're up for making more.

>Hime. I even did Kaho's route first so I could end the game with her.
Huh, that's interesting. I did them all in order and there was a real sense that Kaho's was meant to be the final route. Hime was my favourite as well, her common route segment was great. Especially the play.

However, Apple is the best girl, hands down. That slightly sad sprite she uses like twice hurts my heart.

>>11882893
Yes, but his usual action is to let her get caught by the hunters like he did with any other winged person he's come across before that. So he needs a reason to explain his own action.

>>11882897
He didn't like the idea that he was growing attached to her. So he was convincing himself that "I'm only doing this so that I can find more about what her connection to Gran Forte is."

>>11882898
Yeah Kaho's route was definitely meant for last. I meant that I choose her first in the final branch, because I wanted to leave my favorite girl for last. Ringo was a pretty close second, at least she got the 親友.

>>11882878
>>11882881
It's not that I don't understand the motivations, I just can't accept them. She goes beyond sugary sweet and into complete lack of self-preservation despite everyone's best efforts. Even if he's going to leave her in a ditch/whore her out afterwards, they're all going to considerable lengths to keep her safe and happy for the moment. It's a selfless action so stupidly selfless that it warps right back around to being selfish.

I just can't deal with that type of character. Which is unfortunate because they're often main heroines. Had the same problem with Clannad. A girl intentionally doing something she knows is dangerous/stupid because she feels she's being a 迷惑 makes my autism flare up something fierce.

>>11882852
>Did the game sell well enough, at least for the company stay afloat? I'm interested in what else they could come up with.
Looks like it didn't even make top 30 for the month on Getchu. Not a good sign, though at least the production costs probably weren't that high.

>>11882907
Out of curiosity, near the end of Kaho's route where Ringo storms into the student council room to talk people into slapping some sense into the MC, was Hime the one doing it for you? Cause the way that scene plays out it seems like it's intended to be whichever girl's route you finished previously.

I sort of doubt they'd do anything that complex but I'm missing a CG and there's only 3 choices, so I'm grasping at straws here.

>>11882931
It was Hime. From the walkthrough on Seiya-saiga, the last CG is a bug and can't be collected.

>>11882926
That's too bad. They really should've taken more care though, because it was the VN with the most bugs I've seen to date.

>>11882915
>they're all going to considerable lengths to keep her safe and happy for the moment
Because they wanted her info and it's causing them trouble. The disease is supposed to be infectious and anyone who hides her will be caught.
She knows what they are after, so she gives her what they want and leaves because that's how long she's supposed to be useful. It's the "right" thing Caim's planned to do.

>>11882944
Oh geez, that's murder for anyone with OCD. I liked it a lot, but get your shit together devs.

>>11882915
Please, don't compare Tia to Nagisa. That's stupid as hell.
Nagisa had parents who'd do anything for her because they loved her, yet she completely misunderstood that and thought "muh meiwaku."
Tia was not like that. Tia was not being kept because she was being cared for, and she understood that very well.

>>11882955
I'm only getting after the core "muh meiwaku" concept, not trying to imply their situations are different.

Again, I understand why she's doing it but I just can't accept it. Which is a shame because I really enjoy the setting and the presentation, it's the characters that aren't doing it for me.

I'll get back to it once I've cooled off, but that was a dumb thing and I'm mad.

>>11882965
*situations are similar.
Fucking post timers.

>>11882965
The best heroines only appear in the 3rd and 4th chapters, so you shouldn't drop it indefinitely.

>>11882965
>>11882972
I understand the irritation that this usually causes. But I felt that Tia was one of the rare cases where that was actually justified.

>>11882982
Fair enough. I've probably felt far sillier cases were justified, just a matter of personal taste.

Does that sort of thing happen again or does she (mostly) learn her lesson?

>>11882965
>it's the characters that aren't doing it for me.
I can understand not liking Tia (like I said, I didn't either at first), but you should give the other characters a chance. Eris might also make you rage (though again, her motivations make sense in a twisted sort of way), but Licia is the cutest fucking thing ever and Lavria is sweet as well.

>>11883002
Let's just say she learns that but remains selfless. But honestly, it's something I like about her. Most "pure", "good" characters are the kind of moralfags that would look down at you from their high horse, but Tia isn't like that. Of course, she's one of my favourite VN characters ever, so I might be rather biased on this topic.

>>11883010
You didn't find Irene cute?

>>11882965
I don't think you really understand. Tia has 2 very simple reasons why she runs away.

>>11883002
Tia is Tia. She will be how she is through the whole game.

>>11883021
>You didn't find Irene cute?
She was fine, I just liked Lavria better.

>>11883033
I like both of them a lot. To this day, I'm mad that the threesome end was not part of the main story but only an appendix.

>>11883010
I like pretty much everyone except Caim and Tia. Tia I suspect will grow on me like a kawaii foot fungus - it helps that her voice is much better than I feared - and Caim I know is only suffering from not having the character development kick in yet, so I just need to power through. Zeke is bro tier but his sprite expressions are way too evil for him to stay that way.

The blonde twintail ruler seems great, though.

>>11883039
You can just pretend that it happens eventually, I mean they're all living together in the same place in both canon endings, so it's possible. Well, except for the fact that the city is going to fall really soon, they may not have the time for that.

>>11883035
Caim goes fullretard in many parts of the story.

>>11883048
We don't know, they may have found other solutions in other routes. And Tia is not a problem in any routes other than her own, she may just have become a real angel like her mother.

>>11883039
I have to agree, it really felt like it should have ended with a threesome.

>>11883048
Except, does it, though? In one of Licia's appendix stories it talks about her being queen years in the future, so maybe the city doesn't fall in the other routes, or at least not immediately.

>>11883062
The only available solution was turning Tia into an energy source like her mother, though

>>11883071
Exactly, she would be hung there for the next 500 years.

>>11883071
Caim kinda abandons her to Lucius in the other routes, so it's possible that happens.
>>11883062
>>11883069
Thinking like that makes the other endings a lot better, and being a damn secret agent+queens lover makes Licia's ending my favorite.

>>11883078
>>11883084
Fuck. I'd rather have the world destroyed than Tia hung in the castle, suffering forever.

>>11883092
I bet she'd be happy because she can help mankind, just like her mother was at first.

>>11883092
The spirit of the story: ignorant is bliss. When you don't know, it doesn't happen. You live your life just fine,.

I have a question. If the last big land fall happened 10 years ago, when Tia was born. Does that make Caim a lolicon?

>>11883122
Well she's not human, so loli concepts don't apply. Also, unless his personality changes in different routes, yes he is.

All these Eustia spoilers, hidoi desu~

>>11883216
Why don't you read it so that you can't be spoiled afterwards? It's a really good VN.

>You're the decedent of the first vampire
>Half awakes the vampiric lineage
>Got a power (one for each vampire)
>You can't use well because you just awoke
>every other vampire made in just one week (they were human) can use their power better

>>11883047
I'd say only in the last chapter to a noticeable degree, at least.

>>11883243
Who quote?

>>11883271
It's just a rambling about Draculius novel.

Goddamn this mc is a big fucking hetare.

Man, Eustia is pretty popular here, isn't it?

>>11883383
Well it's pretty good, hasn't been translated, and unlike moege it actually has content to discuss.

>>11883386
I have read Eustia, and wondering about some plot details.


1. in colette's chapter, why does Gau secretly meet up with Nadal (the chief priest)
2. is Lucius the culprit for the earthquake that causes Melt to die?

>>11883386
It's sad that something gets shit upon when it's translated.

>>11883499
Except that's never happened.

>>11883491
2. Most probably him. He was dropping parts of the city regularly to reduce the load as the angel's power went down in the hope of surviving until they get a new power source, and Vinoleta crashed in one of the consecutive falls.

And damn, I don't even remember what Gau's goal was. All I remember was that she was psycho. My memory is horrible. Wish I had time to re-read this.

Wait, so Janen hen requires twitter?

Is this going to have an effect on gameplay, or is it just some stupid extra stuff?

>>11883122
Wasn't the actual wording something like 十数年前? That would mean Tia could technically be over 18.

>>11883491

1. Gau is the old dude's bodyguard. Nadal is meeting with him, probably to decide time for a new saint and things like that.

2.Yes. Lucius is working for the old dude already very early on, even if he didn't want to do it at first, he was the one pressing the button and letting the land fall. Later on he agreed with the idea of letting some people die in order to keep the majority alive. So in the end it really didn't matter.

>>11883122
No, Tia is sort of Clovis clone. During the Gran Forte, the experiment to resurrect Clovis failed, but Saint Irene the 1st created Tia from Clovis' body. So, Tia's body age = Clovis' age + 10

>>11883673
Tia was born out of Clovis's belly. It said, iirc, that her belly was slit open when they found her body.

>>11883570
Seems like it's not too integrated so far. I guess it's ok.

>>11883673

So that what it was. Couldn't figure out how to read that name at all.

Why would anyone want to publish the fact that they're playing chinese porn games?

>>11883777
I don't know, I just didn't register since I don't even have a twitter account. Hopefully it doesn't affect gameplay.

Got a question for anyone who's played Ef- The Latter Tale and done both endings for Chihiro's route. I just finished with the bad ending, and upon choosing the other first option, I've come to find everything after it is the same (so far). Can I just skip to after their date or is any of the dialogue different up to the point?

>>11883867
I remember skimming through that part, not sure if there was any extra dialogue but it wasn't noticeable.

>>11883927
That's what I hope it is, I really don't feel like reading through the whole thing again. If the only difference ends up being Renji deciding to do something different with the diary, that's a really shitty "bad ending".

I can't help sympathizing with our poor MC here. That's just fucking baffling.

>>11883927
Replayed that part and (I'm probably too late to say that) the branch occurs later in the story. Not sure about flags and such but when I played it I found that the ending took too long to reach and took the other option anyway, and found a branch later on.
The bad ending was pretty decent imo, it was what I expected out of a bad ending.

>>11884151
There is an English translation so you can read it now.

>>11884210
Er, why would you think I'd need an English translation? Are you lost?

Help me please! Every time when I try to extract files from *.xp3 I get these when I try to open the audio files or pics I get. I've tried arc_conv, ExtractData and crass/crage but I always get the same result. Maybe there's some problem with my system...

>>11884305

What's the game?

>>11884311
This one is スレイブニル, I wanted to rip the music since it looks like they're not planning to release the OST for now. The same thing also happens to Nitroplus games (I was able to get normal files for Saya and CHAOS;HEAD but new Kikokugai, Demonbane, フェノメノ and LOST XMAS files are becoming like this).

>>11884332
.xp3 is KiriKiri engine, right? Maybe something here would be of help? http://tlwiki.org/index.php?title=Tools#KiriKiri2.2FKAG3

What stats are the most important to raise in ikusa megami zero?

>>11884332
>>11884340
It may not always be (pure?) Kirikiri. See if there are any engine-specific tools, just in case. TLWiki is a great resource to check engines.

>>11884364
Thanks but I can't work with the programs that run through the command line...

p.s.:when I've tried doing stuff using it it turned out like this.

>>11884352
In the order they are listed 3>4=1>2, magic power is useless by the way, you get a far better thunder magician than Serika so focus on the sword techniques. Raise the other two from time to time too, but not really high in priority.

>>11884426
What about the 7th (魅力)? Should I just ignore that?

>>11884436
By the other two I meant 精神力 and 魅力. The first one gives magic resistance (important but you get it through other stats too) and some magic while the other is a bit more general.
Basically, I went the whole novel without raising 知性, works for verita too.

I'm not an expert so all I can suggest is searching for a solution for your error or trying a different tool.

>>11884505
Thanks, I've found the solution! I've decided to use xp3viewer and the files I've extracted work fine now!

I really didn't expect this to be as good as it was.
Sure, the MC wasn't as good as Kakei, but the girls were pretty good(specially their designs), Sakuya managing to be a better moeblob than Tsugumi was. It was also better than a lot of moege that had more time to make you relate to the characters.
Actually, I just can't wait for Nozomi's H-scenes.

>>11884671
is that sonico

>>11884674
That's probably one of the reasons I find her incredibly hot.

Starting the picture related, I hope for some good timely laughs and some occasional balls to the wall?

>>11884677
Man I can't wait for March and April.

>>11884671
Yeah, Nozomi was cool. Looking forward to seeing more of her in the fandisc. There are some lewd magazine scans floating around if you really want a teaser.

My problem wasn't the characters so much as the length, which made everything feel like it developed at turbo speed. I guess you could label it "short and sweet", though, rather that than dragging on for too long.

>>11884708
How does this series work with all the sequels and prequels? Do you have to read all the games in order to properly get into it?

>>11884732
Next throws references to the original set, but nothing else. You can read it normally.

>>11884732
Of the first three, 1 is probably the best.
2 and 3 are almost literal rehashes of 1, and as such probably aren't worth reading unless you really like a given heroine, or like the design/VA of the new heroine from 2.

>>11884151
That's the best part.

>>11884671
>Nozomi's H-scenes
Will she have hscene in the FD?

>>11884888
I'll sue august is she doesn't since she's in the character page for the fandisc.

>>11884888
>>11884891
Both she and Sakuya will.

Although I honestly feel like I'm kinda late for the party, I've been playing 穢翼のユースティア.
Just finished エリス・Erisu's arc and fell in love with her, all the while realizing she'd be one tough bitch to deal with if in real life heh. Just kidding I'd take take her home anytime.

The story is strong in this one, but has minimalistic finishing arcs for the other girls.
About the weird 漢字 usage, I found it pretty okay. Sure sometimes you gotta do some research, but I'm fine with that. I actually liked how much they avoided a lot of katakana outside names, although upon glancing "抽斗", I sure puzzled myself on why that choice of 漢字. Also, loved "不蝕金鎖".

Anyway maybe it's Chrono Trigger's fault, but I really love that "floating city" stuff. If dudes in this world of ours dread earthquakes, just imagine how of a new level would it be a earthquake while floating in the skies. Pretty it's not tectonic plates' fucking fault this time.

Rising up above some of the other eroges, this one doesn't have a completely retarded and useless "protagonist's best friend", but instead a powerful and competent leader of the 不蝕金鎖 as a friend. Although he DOES say stupid things every now and then, this time it only adds to his charisma.

>>11884935
>Just finished エリス・Erisu's arc
You have no excuse to romanise her name wrong when the game itself does it for you.

>>11883570
Man, that Twitter shit is the reason I still want a full Janen Hen savefile, I don't want to grind achievements just to see the complete gallery and get all the downloadable stuff.

>>11884942
kk

>>11884942
To be fair, some of the romanizations they chose were kind of fucked up. "Collett"? Really?

>>11885546
A completely fine name.

>>11885546
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collett_%28name%29

>>11885557
Sure, for a guy, but I've never heard of that spelling being used for a girl's name. It's always "Collette" or "Colette".

>>11885567
They're still living in a made up fantasy world, how many girls do you know called Eustia?

>>11885546
It was also the only grossly incorrect one, though.

>>11885572
To be fair, it kind of "sounds feminine," if that makes sense.

I just started Muramasa and finally, after a hour (?), the main character was introduced, but he acts a bit too "deadish", is he like that the whole novel?

>>11885873
He obviously gets his background explained and all that stuff, but yeah, Kageaki's character is kinda like that when the writer isn't making jokes out of it.

A question about Lovely cation 2, do the birthday appends stack no matter the order you install them? Like, if you install Hinata's first and later the rest, there's no problem accessing them all, right?

>>11887681
Probably.
They're all probably successive patch#.xp3's

I thought I'd try one of those rail-soft titles. Feels like I'm back to my earliest days of J-parser abuse. Is it at least worth the effort?

>>11887681

It's as >>11887872 wrote, they stack via numbered .xp3 patch append files. Also every few months they release a batch append file covering the past few months/patches.

>>11887990
I asked about Astelight here and people told me to start with Bangarachou, since that one is better if you're more used to their other titles.

>>11887872
>>11888054
Thanks, I wasn't sure because of the sys files that get changed by patch.

>>11887990
I haven't read any of the astelight games, but from other ones that I have read, I can say that Mareni is probably one of the best scenario writers in the industry, so I would say that it's worth the effort.

Has anyone had problems downloading from dl.getchu? Once I've payed and clicked on the download button it comes up with 本サービスが使用できる環境ではありません。(ブラウザ). I've tried it in firefox and internet explorer but it just comes up with the same thing.
Please help.

>>11888430

Sure it isn't a gaijin lock?

>>11888459
It says they know there are problems with people downloading from overseas and to fill in a support form if something goes wrong, what i did and the email they sent me didn't help.

Okay.
