/jp/ - Otaku Culture

One day, a naked girl appeared in hikikomori Naoto’s room. She stripped off his pants and declared: “I’ve found you, son of the demon lord! Now die!” She swung at him with a sword that she pulled out of nowhere, but it was stopped by another naked girl. “I will definitely protect you…” On top of that, his osananajimi is an idol and his imouto is not just a chuuni, but secretly a powerful magician!?

>>14103036
>his osananajimi is an idol
I have no problem with maous, holy warriors, or any other kind of cliche character type. But, for some reason, idols are unbearable. Even in Satsukoi the main heroine having the niconico idol status was really irritating in the brief moments it came up.

Took them 2 weeks to fix that shit. Finally.

>What the hell is going on?

That's what I want to know. How high do you have to be to come up with that stuff.

>>14103566
Oh come on, that premise is very common. I think I saw at least 4 VNs with exactly same opening.

Can anyone who's played Primal Hearts tell me how much of the common route is left after the decision to go with turkey rice?

>>14103873
There are 4 chapters I think? One for each girl.

>>14104020
Oh wow, I hope they're short or else I may lose interest. Right now the common route is alright enough to keep playing but so far it's just extremely average

Is anyone else going to play Utawarerumono 2?

>>14104031
Well, I decided to skip through Chapter 2 to see how long it is and it was just too long and my interest in reading it died.

Not a bad moege, but the characters are pretty flat and nothing interesting happened in Chapter 1 and I can't imagine much changes in Chapter 2. I'll do the character routes because I love ichaicha but that common route was just too lengthy with not enough support. Kind of like Daitoshokan but without the exceptionally good writing. The worst of both worlds, so to speak.

>>14104170
>I'll do the character routes because I love ichaicha
That's a bad reason to do them, as they are basically porn with stupid moege drama in between after an hour.

Anyone up for a good recommendation of a chuuni VN?

>>14107127
It sounds like a waste to get Windows 10 if you're into eroge because I imagine many of them will run into compatibility issues. It already happens with 8, and even 7 for some older titles.

>>14104081
As soon as it's uploaded. Holding onto it being the savior of the month since other games I was looking forward to ended up being disappointing and Sakura no Uta got delayed again. I'm just hoping it'll run with CFW.

>>14107200
Honestly, I have not seen anything of the sort, but then again I've already played most of the old games I wanted to play.

If anything gets to the extreme where I can't run it natively, I'd just VM the rare one if needed.

Geez dude, you could at least go back to just Windows 8/8.1. Anything but Windows 10.

>>14107271
Windows 8 and 8.1 suffer from the same issue. What's with all the hostility against Windows 10?

>>14107284

>>14107284
Fuck off Microsoft shill.

>>14107284
Seriously?

>>14107309
he's saying windows 8 and 10 both suck, which is true

>>14107284
The power of the press, mass media and 4chan.
People absorb popular sayings and regurgitate it without actually forming an educated opinion based on experience and experimentation.
Windows 10 is pretty fucking bad when it comes to privacy issues. But for playing eroge? There's a few hitches here and there but it's about the same as the hitches you'd encounter in Win7/Win8.

If anyone really cared, they'd be running their *nix setup. Oh wait, it's even harder to play eroge there, too. Whoops.

>>14107317
The free upgrade does.

>>14107319
Then if the eroge playing experience is about the same as it is on 7/8, why would anyone upgrade?

So we can all agree that Rance 03 is the best in the series, right?

>>14107337
Haha.

>>14107333
I asked my tech friend and he said "windows 10 is better, that's it".

>>14107333
That's up to the individual's criteria. Maybe he wants future proofing for DX12. Maybe he's stuck with it without control over what OS the machine is running. I don't know why and I don't really care either way, the important thing is that it's not very different from running eroge in Win8 or 7.

>>14107351
Your 'tech' friend is an idiot.

>>14107351
A minor boost in performance isn't worth all the trouble honestly, it's basically just 7/8.1 + 1 and there's no reason to upgrade unless you really want that minor boost. There will be a reason once people start producing games that can only run on it but that's still quite a few years off

>>14107337
Rance 03 is a fun enough game, good characters, good character interactions, amusing and with a pretty good cast of villains.

Gameplay is pretty meh.

Of Alicesoft's two games this year I'd say it's an inferior game to Evenicle

>>14107337
It is by far in my opinion, but I can see why people would prefer some other games. I'm having a lot of trouble bringing myself to finish VI at the moment, which a lot of people seem to consider the best one.

>>14107447
VI is possibly disadvantaged by the fact that you're playing it 11 years after release and after playing the remakes.

plot wise and setting wise it's better than the other games.

>>14107337

Not that surprised.

>>14107523
>untagged spoilers
Why?

>>14107456
The biggest disadvantage it has is that you need to grind those colored orbs for events and it starts very slow, which is not helped by the sheer amount of padding the game has. It's starting to get interesting now after few days of playing it, but the combat still feels slightly unpolished. So far the comedy hasn't been that great and some of the new characters have been kind of uninteresting. The dungeon crawling mechanics are also a bit hard to swallow (what kind of dungeon crawler actively discourages exploration?) but that too is getting slightly better as the number of available characters grows.
I do think I was spoiled by 01 and 03, which remain my favourites as they have a lot better content to padding ratio.
Setting-wise I think VI is better, but I also feel like that setting has yet to be used to it's full potential. I'm only at the point where you get the chance to do the optional quest to fight Apostle Yuki at the mansion where you got Copandon (is that how you romanize it?) and you join forces with the terrorist organization the name of which I can't remember.

>>14107528
Not really a spoiler when it's an advertised CG on their website but fair point, It's from the Go Eiyutan release out.

>>14107546
I mean you spoiled it yourself. I didn't click on it myself because since they are untagged I have no idea what the image might be spoiling.

>>14107545
Uzra is great though.

You're getting closer to the stages where the game gets good.

The new characters you have at this point (mostly the ice flame guys are shit)
Urza and Abert are pretty good though

>>14107545
Pentagon is the name of the organization and yes it's Copandon with a C

>>14107554
I get the point. The content of the CG however is something that I would normally consider to to be a spoiler thus the use of a spoiler

>>14107568
Probably the only gag that has made me laugh in the whole game is Megadeath. Other than that, Urza has potential as a character but she is still stuck moping around in that wheelchair. Most of Ice Flame is just filler characters for the early game and seem to be pretty quickly forgotten about (most of them didn't get more than couple of scenes anyway). Abert had some kind of fun scenes.
I have to continue playing it and maybe it'll get better once I manage to kill Yuki. Bitch keeps 1 shotting everyone but Rance and Patton, both of whom go down with two hits.

>>14107604
Getting Patton again is nice though

>>14107337
Yes.
>>14107447
> which a lot of people seem to consider the best one
VNDB has 03 rated higher, EGS has 2 point difference between two. There's certain very loud internet celebrity who loves to praise 6 as "best JRPG ever", and plenty of people parrot his opinion without any second thoughts, but they are not the majority.

>>14107456
Plot-wise 6 is absolutely retarded. Its inconsistent, pure absurdity-for-laughs kind of """plot""". Every actor there is brainless moron, and you simply cannot force yourself to believe that its something that could actually happen.
03, on other hand, manages to be both funny, deep and realistic enough at same time.

>>14108252
you don't like VI but that doesn't mean nobody else does

people who complain about realism in this shit are annoying though, nobody believes rance could actually exist and do what he does in real life

>>14108252
Hating VI is fine and all but don't think you are the majority in the discussion, VI/SR/KR are considered the top games by the very large majority. 03 is very good but it's gameplay holds it back from being in the same tier as those three, however it's story and characters are certainly in the same tier as the three listed above.

>Score on EGS
Use that as a argument when it's been in their long enough for the score to stabilize. 124 votes and being out for under a month is lacking to say the least even more so when it's from a very popular series

>>14108338
I see gameplay as nothing but hindrance so simplification in 01/03 is actually positive thing. And their new scenario guys are better at writing VN-like texts.

>>14108338
VI's gameplay is its weakest point imo

>>14108366
>I see gameplay as nothing but hindrance
Well, maybe hold back on commenting so strongly about a gameplay-focused series?

>>14108338
I didn't say I hate 6. Overall, it was fun game, but it doesn't deserve the hype around it. And much less for "best plot in JRPGs ever".

>>14108377
Even if that was the case it'd still be a league above Magnum, IX and 03 in terms of gameplay.

>>14108366
>I see gameplay as nothing but hindrance
I see bad/not enjoyable gameplay as nothing but a hindrance. 01 wasted too much time with the poor gameplay and 03 while much better was still lacking which is why I got right royally sick of it by around the Hyper building. Certainly didn't have that problem with VI/SR/KR

>>14108386
I certainly think it's worth the hype of being one of the best Rance games but "best plot in JRPGs ever" is just a laughable statement to make about VI.

I started the game and a girl fell down on top of the protagonist, flashing her panties.


I'm aware that it's redundant to even think about these things in the horribly self-cannibalistic, masturbatory industry of eroge, but I can't help but wonder if the developers do this kind of thing in some kind of attempt at comedy or satire. Like, 'isn't it funny that we're using this tired trope?'
Or is it just a comfort zone standardized fiction event that nobody thinks too much about? I can't tell.

>>14108366
Well if you don't care about gameplay then yes, I can see why you rate 03 and IX highter.

>>14108386
I don't think anyone ever made that comment. Save for one shitty bloggy where someone who obviously MTed the games claimed it was better than FF12.

I think it must be a really painful job to have to write h-scenes, especially for a game with loads of them.
At some point, it must feel like you're just repeating yourself every time with different wording here and there.

My favorite theory is that there's secret "how to write eroge" guidebook, and it has checklist append for such stuff, so they just go in order and check out things one by one. "Falling on protag panties on face style" check, "walking in while she changes", check, and so on.

Maybe thinking too much about is a thing you never did on your life for even wondering things like that.
I was actually surprised at Exercitus having pretty solid dialogue and presentation, at least making the horrible gameplay less of a matter.

>>14108553
That same checklist can be applied to pretty much any otaku works. Anime, manga, LN, etc.

Finished るいは智を呼ぶ.
Pretty good but the pacing gets really bad at some parts.
The unique writing which I really liked disappears completely after the prologue.

Oh well. I'll still play the FD since the game is apparently properly finished there.
Hopefully it has at least a bit more of that writing style.

>>14109233
It's more telling about the demographic that buys magazines for scoops and reporting, and the demographic that gets their news tidbits from the internet from the magazine buyers, reporters, and industry insiders.
Running a serialized magazine is hard if what I've seen randomly and Clockup Team Anise's Eromanga is anything to go by from.

>>14109222

My country doesn't even have winter, but I played it to counter the sweltering December heat.

I have been waiting for this. Akabisoft3 is on roll lately. Does that mean we will see Taiyou no Ko soon?

Why did it take the Rance series 26 years to finally put in voices?

>>14110897
>Does that mean we will see Taiyou no Ko soon?

Maruto's too mainstream to write eroge now.

>>14110899
It's old and Alicesoft was really nervous about giving iconic characters voices at this point as they feared it would alienate fans. Also, it was cheaper to make them mute.

>>14110899
When VNs started to have voices the series and it characters were already established so they were worried about how the fans would take voices for characters they already were used to and had their own mental images that should be unique for each person. Also part of the old fans are players from that time that never got used to voices and don't like them in VNs.

>>14110959
>Also part of the old fans are players from that time that never got used to voices and don't like them in VNs.
Luckily just about every VN lets you mute character voices.

>>14110993
The question is more if the investment is worth it. It does well even without voices, so it's fans either don't like voices, don't care, or still like the series enough to play it without them. So is there an potential fanbase for the Rance series who would only buy it if voiced to cover for the costs of adding them?

>>14111016
Considering all the modernizing and remakes Alicesoft is doing, I assume so. It was for a long time really intimidating thing to get into due to being old and some of it not having aged well which has kept some people from really getting into it despite having interest.

>>14109426

His recent anime apparently hasn't been doing too well. Maybe he'll come back.

The presentation in the Tokyo Necro trial is fucking weird.

>>14112423
How so?

>>14112434
The game itself is treated as a program in a really meta way (if you played Totono you probably know what I mean), and the combat scenes are presented like an FPS video game. Oh, and some scenes are rendered with actual graphics rather than sprites/CG, so you'll need a decent computer if you don't want it to lag to death.

It's really hard to explain. I'd take a screenshot of that stuff but it's all animated. It's definitely the most "visual" visual novel I've played, anyway.

So, about Tokyo Necro, the trial starts with a command line terminal and because I'm retard the first thing I did was write "fuck jap" and welp, seems like I found an easter egg. On "fuck" input terminal answers with "my boss" picture. Not much reward for his head as you see.

Once in a while terminal answers with another face and "top" name. I guess by top here goes another kind of a boss.

Reading the trial of Tokyo Necro
All the action scenes are in a FPS mode so they should have just made it an actual game rather than leaving that awkward as fuck narration, it could have been pretty cool.

>>14114425
/jp/ uses it because of the ゆっくりしていってね！ meme

>>14114520
My mom says it too. It's common vernacular in the English speaking country. I'm aware of the yukkuri meme but it's weird to say "people still say this?" to what is a very common phrase.

>>14114530
Sure it's weird if you take it out of context, what isn't?

>>14114565
You're the one associating a common phrase with a meme. Is words like "dude, chill" also banned because of recent normalfag slang?

>>14114986
This discussion isn't in the mystical land of "common" English, it's on /jp/, where the phrase has a clear history and context. If you're new here you might not know about it, but then don't act like you know it all.

Does anyone know of a VN with a Russian heroine that actually sounds kind of Russian? Like Anya in Idolmaster CG.

>>14115005
/jp/ isn't disconnected from the real world, you know. 'Take it easy' as a thing far outdates the /jp/ meme and is often used in different context.

>>14115913
I have only played Nene's route, but I thought it was written well. Can't say anything about the other routes. I would recommend it.

>>14114478
More like it should have just been an anime instead. Eroge industry doesn't have the money for cyberpunk gameplay.

I was actually looking at the other games to see if there was a renge route in any of them. Gave up after seeing the cg 2.5. Guessing it won't happen now.

>>14116651
>>14116699
Did you think it was an easy read? I recently played Reminiscence and found it much harder to read than this; from a beginner Japanese learner's perspective that is.

>>14116738
If you still pay attention to how hard or easy something is to read, you'll probably find it hard like most eroge out there.

I wish she wasn't such a childish retard.

>>14119109
Indeed, the drama considering her being adopted was pretty bad and the way the protagonist handled the talk awful, though luckily that part was also quite short. I really liked that most of the common and her route was both her and the protagonist acting and talking about being asocial loners who like games. Really rubbed me the right way on a personal level.

>>14118671
Thanks!

>>14117041
Man these heroines all look pretty good. I'll probably play it soon considering I like the writer.

>>14117041
Isn't it the other way around? Your girl is selling herself for marriage (i.e. slut), thus until you pay you get nothing, but that other girl is loving, thus giving unconditionally.

>>14120074
You're confusing sluts and whores.

>>14120088
And that's not even getting into harlots, trollops, and hoes.

>>14120088
Ah, yes, sorry.
But still, it doesn't change the whole picture.

On the one hand we have girl having sex with one person, therefore she can't be slut because if she likes only sex, she will do it with everyone, which is not true. In such case there is no other reason to have sex besides love, therefore she is not slut, but girl in love.

On the other hand we have girl saying: "Marry me first, everything else is after that". Marriage have nothing to do with love or sex, it is contract dealing with money and work (every kind of caring besides pure money is work), therefore she is whore selling her body.

So, between girl in love and whore >>14117041 prefers whore.

>>14120223
>it is contract dealing with money and work
To be fair there are methods that can remove money from the equation.

>>14117041
So whats this vn from? Google search doesn't give any shit.

>>14120283
Not the method I was talking about, Isn't there a legal agreement that both sides can agree prior to marriage that ownership of items (including money) can be restricted to the person that earned them instead of being shared property?

>>14120284
Thanks mate, I had it in my backlog I guess I'll try it after the september releases.

>>14120349
Warning: It has extremely hetare and completely useless for plot protagonist and slutty heroines who talk about cheating on him because he's too bad in bed.

>>14120637
Disgusting

Finished Melty Lovers, overall mixed impressions. It was certainly better than the previous knight school style games from Efferdom, but that's not exactly a high bar. The biggest issue was the different writers: I found Frey's route much more enjoyable than the rest of the routes. Kanon's route was alright but dragged on a bit, meanwhile I thought Lil and Sefi's routes had an entire chapter too many at the end.

I did enjoy most of the common route and Frey's route as stated earlier, they felt more like Lovely x Cation 2 in a knight school with the focus on the girls and the interactions with the protagonist. The art was fantastic as expected along with some decent music tracks. All in all probably one of the better knight school games, but not exactly anything amazing.

>>14120309
A prenup

>>14121140
I though it was better than Koikishi honestly. The art is phenomenal. Reminded me of LxC2 which is a huge plus. Kanon, Lil and Sefi routes are my favorites.

>>14121140
Just one question about Sefi's route but if it's a huge spoiler don't answer. Is there tons of royal drama like in Char's route in Princess Lover?

>>14121277
It's the same artist (Iizuki Tasuku).

>>14121140
Guess I'll start Seikishi myself this week, Frey was the character I was expecting to like the most so that is refreshing to hear.

>>14121277
Oh yeah definitely better than Koikishi. The system and the art made it feel like LxC2 which was nice. I preferred Frey's route because I felt like it focused more on the relationship between her and the protagonist.

>>14121311
It wasn't too overly dramatic actually, I thought it was handled pretty well. I don't think it really spoils much but I'll use spoiler tags for it anyways.
The real drama is more between the MC and one of her bodyguards who tries to get in the way.
It didn't drag on too much and it showed the MC growing and learning to take on responsibility; it acted as a good arc for the MC to show his changes through the route.

>>14121323
Seeing Frey change from cold and distant to cute and loving was great; I love seeing how the relationship between the heroine and MC changes throughout the route.

>>14121346
>one of her bodyguards
Lil?

>>14121359
Okay now it's actually spoilers.
The main teacher, アイアネス (I tried translating that but fuck it) is another bodyguard as well as an actual Holy Knight.
Lil isn't too involved in the drama.

>>14121381
As long as it's not Lil I'm fine with it, it would sour me to her character prior to giving her a proper chance as at this point she's the only one who hasn't left an impression on me

>>14120284
With those breast sizes I thought it was a nukige, guess I'll play it now.

>>14121346
I am so happy they made this game!! I think the staff totally redeemed themselves after the disaster that is Juukishi.

>>14121140
Personally I wish the Protag had more of a concrete goal in mind that he wanted to achieve across all of the routes. Otherwise it's superior to the previous titles in most respects other than artwork which I believe to be in the same tier.

Anyone have thoughts on Nekonade Distortion they could share? It was something I tried playing four years ago or so before I could read at a decent speed, and I'm thinking of giving it another try now that I can actually read at a decent pace. I would probably be going for Gizmo's route, the whole 'family pet becomes a catgirl' thing is one of my weak points.

Also, any other VN op or ed songs that are, for lack of a better word, 'edgy' like Nekonade Distortion and Whitesoft's later game Gangsta Republica? I know they're silly, but I like them a lot:

>>14122046
It was exactly what I expected so, something that will most likely be sold solely based on its production value. I probably won't play the actual game

>>14121902
>four years ago

Is that how long it took for you to get competent?

>>14122098
No. I just ran into the OP music again today and it reminded me of the game.

Finished 1st episode of Himawari. Next part looks good with it showing events of the past.

Enjoyed what I've read so far, Aqua seems to be best girl at the moment.

It is nice to have Ginga as the "silly friend" type while also playing an important part in the story, and having the protagonist being the one defending him instead of abusing him.

I hesitated a bit at first about whether it was worth losing the ero, but the graphics from the vita version make up for it. Having a voiced protagonist is also really nice thing, not sure if that is a standard for console ports (although I suppose in Himawari's case the PC version doesn't have any voices at all).

>>14122211
He's voiced in the ps2 version, I don't know why he isn't in the psp version though.
Also enjoy Aqua's chapters, so damn great.

>>14122221
I think his voice was cut out from the psp version to save space on the disk.

>>14122211
Does it have a lot of CGs?

I so tired of view a person on a board shit on a hetare man main character. Just leave him to be himself who you to see him bad?

Is edward from baldr sky zero fully voiced? Just started playing chapter 1 and it disturbs me that he lost his voice after he logs out.

>>14123305
Sounds like you answered your own question.

hey /jp/ I'm unsure if start this (I suppose that the girls are mute during sex because time stop) , what is your opinion? It's enough fappable?

>>14123393
I was expecting it to be a installation bug since kou was fully voiced. Feels rather disappointing.

I have a quick question.
For all of you who learned japanese, what did you use?
A j-j anki deck or a j-e?
Also what are easy VN?
I am now reading Tsukihime in Japanese but there are many words I do not know since my vocab sucks.

>>14123737
Daily Japanese thread is on different board.

>>14123737
Yeah I know, but since you people can read japanese I tought someone could help.
The other thread is full of shitposting

>>14123737
You may want to start off with something simpler. Reading something that deals with common day to day situations may be better for you as that's the stuff you'll want to know. Most moege or charage are like that so you can go for whatever you think is cute.
Eventually you should learn to recognize words and kanji in context as you keep seeing commmon ones all the time, but using something like an Anki deck can be useful.

If I were to read Oretsuba for the first time, which version should I read (keeping in mind that I don't care too much about ero)?

>>14121703
>With those breast sizes I thought it was a nukige
You what? Tons of charage and plotge have exaggerated breasts.

>>14124140
Oretsuba R. It has Kouda's route in there.
Make sure you get the After Story for Linda's mini-route.
If you have a PS3 then get the PS3's version since it also contains Linda's route.

>>14124140
The PS3/Vita version has all the content except for the ero

>>14124140
Original first, then PS3/Vita for extra content.

Visual novels that don't have per-character voice volume sliders but have a high-pitched genki girl and a quiet one are the worst.

>>14121140
Is there any point to the knight setting or is it just for knight/sword-moe?

Currently playing 小女ラムネ
Russian loli is best girl

>>14125132
Too bad she's a lesbian and never loves you back.

>>14125103
I guess so? I mean the knight concept and everything is pretty heavily built into the setting and plot. As an example all the backgrounds and everything are olden European style with blacksmiths and so on. In contrast to Koi Kishi, where there are modern buildings and such if my memory is right.

I assume that's what you mean by the point of the setting, then if so yes.

>>14125132
I hope Tanuki Soft makes more slutty heroines like Tenka.

The intro to Shapeshifter was surprisingly cool, I didn't except this game to be especially good but now I have some heightened expectations.

>>14126127
Also, somewhat of a noob to visual novels so I don't know, but is there any reason why the animation in this Shapeshifter game isn't more widely praised? I'm only 15 minutes or so in and the amount of camera shifts, animations, and angles has already surprised me since nothing else I've played (40-some novels) has anything close to this except Muv Luv Alternative, another age game. I would expect this kind of stuff to get referenced frequently in hushed tones. I do recognize that writing is far more important than flashy animation and sprite movement, I'm just surprised that it isn't more... praised? I checked the archive and it didn't seem to get much discussion in the past or recently which is a surprise to me. Maybe a lot of games have this level of presentation and I just haven't played them.

>>14126158
> can't screenshot animation.jpg
Its time to learn about ShareX then.

> nothing else I've played (40-some novels) has anything close to this
Try Amatsukaze, nothing can compare to it regarding scripting/presentation.

>>14126209
They went too overboard with amatsukaze to the point where it was just distracting. I'd say Ef would be a better title for that.

>>14126209
Wow, pretty nifty.

>>14126158
Just play Ayakashi.

>>14126248
Huh, that was pretty choppy, I'll (try to) upload a better example video youtube video to make up for giving a bad impression to anyone who hasn't played the game.
>>14126252
I didn't mean to give off the impression I was playing purely for animation, I actually just liked the character designs and went in blind, the quality of presentation in the beginning was just a surprise. I expect the rest of the game to tone it down quite a bit but we will see.

>>14126158
This game has terrible votes from people I know.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erF1vKioIO8
Here we are, video of Shapeshifter's intro being cool. I let the voices play sometimes but there isn't audio so the pacing may be off, and the quality isn't the best, but it's much better than the gif.
>>14126258
Yeah, I'm not expecting anything especially good, but I am enjoying what I've played so far.

>>14126255
And I'm not recommending it purely for animation.

While I was one of the first to praise ZScreen/ShareX in this thread after years of use, a better option for something like this for 4chan is definitely grabbing a webm.

I should make a custom setting for myself one of these days.

>>14126353
is it just a special move or something?

>>14126364
Ignore the autism
>>14126368
It's quoting ancient texts which makes it hard to read due to essentially being a different language, special moves are far more easy to read, like 震天裂空斬光旋風滅砕神罰割殺撃 which is just "Tremorous Celestial Sundering Shredding Light of Cyclonic Butchery"-type stuff.

Shapeshifter's writing kind of shits the bed by the end of the common route, and suffers from tone whiplash.
It's been a while but I believe the effects etc don't really live up to the intro until maybe the end of the common route.

>>14128115
What kind of tone whiplash? It suddenly gets very serious or suddenly gets very light-hearted?

>>14126308
Cool, gotta give ShareX a try. Hate it when you can't Fraps some engines. In the worst case you can Fraps your entire desktop and capture any game that way.

Also a small GIF capping utility called LICEcap has been good for those olde games. It captures gifs on the fly with correct frame lengths depending on how often the screen updates.

Why was Walkure Romanze popular, anyway? It was bad.

>>14128494
Maybe because it wasn't Komori Kei's fault that the scriptwriter sucked.

It was lewd.

The anon who has been playing through Rance series here. I'm just about ready to give up on 6. This is the first game in the series I'm really having trouble mustering the willpower to finish, even though I got almost to the end (From a look at a guide it seems to be just before the final mission, specifically Mission ??? after you obtain Chaos and Cell joins you, where you don't go into a dungeon and just fight a lot of tough monsters.. Is there any way to pass these encounters easily that doesn't involve praying to RNG gods for my stuns to hit or grinding my characters to high heavens? My party is a bit above 30 at this point (Rance is the highest level out of the group and he is 38).
I do have an opinion on this game already and I'm wondering if I should stop playing and share it now (like I kind of feel like doing) or if there is a strategy to make finishing this game a bit more bearable, in which case I will just finish the game and do so in couple of hours.

>>14129442
Well if you don't like VI then just stop it.

But it's 'grind' is fairly typical jrpg fare.

You'll hate Quest but should like IX

You have played far enough into VI to play IX. Mainly why Rance is allied with Patton and a bit on fated girls.

>>14129442
use cheat engine

Rance VI is a dungeon crawler with pretty basic JRPG combat where you have 3 front row fighters and 3 back row fighters. The thing is, each of your 16 characters (which is the max number of characters you will have, for most of the game you'll have closer to 8) has something called SP. Each fight costs 1 SP and once you hit 0 you have to exit the dungeon (or use a recovery item) before you can use them again. Some characters have 4 SP while others have 8 and by the end of the game Rance will have around 12. The problem with this is the sheer number of random encounters you get in long dungeons which, together with unavoidable set fights, will burn though your SP pretty fast. This often means that you will have to constantly escape the dungeon, recover then run back to where you left off with only Rance in your party as you run away from enemies. This system actively discourages exploration and filling in the map (both of which actually give rewards) if you don't feel like playing through the same thing over and over again, in a genre in which that exploration is one of the key elements. It gets better closer to the end when you get more characters and can have different party for bosses and REs, but the longest dungeons are in the mid-game, before you have that much SP or party members.

The combat on the other hand is bearable for the most part. There is some fun to be had with building a party capable to taking down certain bosses. The thing is, this game relies on you being able to consistantly paralyze some enemies (which is completely RNG) and interrupting moves that take more than single turn (another thing that is complete RNG). When I say you rely on them, I mean there are enemies that one-shot your entire party if they can get certain attack off or at the very least go through your party's health in couple of turns. The fact that some endgame enemies don't respect the battle lines and attack your back row just as easily as your front doesn't help.

>>14129753
Enough ranting about the battle system. Let's talk story and characters. Those are what most people play these games for, after all. First off, the first 3/4 of this game is complete garbage with the same level of plot Rance 2 had, consisting mostly of poor excuses to throw you into dungeons with bare minimal story and the little that exists is side plots that don't really play into the main one. A lot of that time was spent letting you know just how much of an asshole everyone in Zeth is and while the setting is somewhat interesting, a lot of it simply won't play a part in the story and is there just to be some window dresser. In the meantime, you get little to no real character interactions. Any that do end up happening are brought to you through an event system that requires you to grind colored orbs from dungeons to unlock available scenes. Roughly two thirds of the way into the game the plot becomes a thing, but even then you have to do bunch of fetch quests to unlock more of it. About 3/4 of the way into the game shit gets real and the story becomes actually good, interesting and it abandons most of the foes you've managed to muster some mild dislike for in favor of some demons who just show up in the plot and wreck some shit without really giving you any particular reason to dislike them beyond the fact that they want to wipe humanity out or something like that. By the that point I was not reading the dialog all that carefully. They just aren't quite as interesting villains as some charaters that were established earlier or the ones that appeared in 03 as there is so little buildup to them. Still, it's something actually good. The character interactions also pick up some speed about halfway through the game in the sense that they become a thing you may actually want to read. The comedy is still mostly bland. There were couple of scenes in this game I have played for over a week that made me chuckle.

>>14129764
It may seem like I'm bashing this game, but that doesn't mean I disliked all of it. There were some things that I really liked in that last fourth (or the part of it I actually bothered with). What happened to Feliss is a thing I hope will be followed up on. This game actually did very good job of giving characters from previous games some good scenes and fun times, it's just a shame the original characters ended up being pretty lacklustre with the exception of some pentagon members that managed to be fun for all of the five scenes they were in and to a lesser extent Urza, who honestly ended up being considerably more boring character once her conflict was resolved.

I'd say this game was overall pretty okay. The beginning is just shit but the endgame is actually good, which puts this below the remakes and above 2 and 5D.
