Playing this

Never played something with a baby before

Will see how the harem shit pans out before I decide to drop or finish

>>15763246
What the fuck who's the baby? are they trying to pull some Ten shit? is the baby gonna be a little troll the whole time?

>>15763285
Baby isn't on the cover, it's basically the protagonists baby from the future

This month seems rather boring.

I'm currently reading Tokyo Ghoul. Pretty neat how they present everything, and the story is okay. I like it so far.

>>15763376
How chuuni is it?

>>15763222
>What are you playing?
Nothing right now...
>What are you looking forward to?
Hopefully some game with cute sex in it.
>What have you finished?
Nothing. I don't know 日本語 yet.
>You know the drill.
What drill?

>>15763391
What is your definition of chuuni?

>>15763707
Is it edgy with special snowflake powers

Is there rape in Baldr Heart? I dropped Baldr Force because of that shit.

>>15763796
>edgy
I believe this word means just whatever you want it to mean at the time so you need to be a little more specific here. They have superpowers though.

>>15763817
Yes... Playing the game itself is like experiencing rape. It's worse than the PTSD I got on the battlefield

>>15763680
Why are you in the untranslated thread if you don't know japanese?

>>15763939
Knowing Japanese isn't a requirement for playing games in Japanese.

>>15763854
Basically does everyone act like archer from FSN

Brooding and aloof

>>15763954
I don't really think archer qualifies as edgy, but no, I don't think there are any characters like him.

Finished my first Island route. (Sara)

I quite enjoyed how the whole thing can be a somewhat typical science fiction story, but also just about two kinda crazy people who may need some professional help. This kinda made it special.

That said, some minor issues exist. First, other characters but Sara barely appeared. This was mostly bad with Karen, who is by the way quite the bro. They kinda started some plot between her and Sara... and then that was forgotten. Should've really closed that story part.
Bad-ending branching can also be a bit weird. Like choosing one or the other changing the information you get, even though your choice shouldn't be able to influence that. That was unnecessary. Especially because most choices are so nice, as they reflect what the whole thing is about.

>>15764008
Cool

I'm having issues trying to get Gin'iro Haruka to work. I've bypassed the region lock through AlphaROMdiE, but the game just crashes when I open it through the shortcut. Anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?

>>15764090
Use Alpharom

>>15764090
Try getting a real OS. that might help

>>15764008
god that looks horrible

>>15763817
You can play the PS2 version if you can't handle the bantz

>>15764109
I tried this (using the 2012 build of AlphaROM) and it worked like a charm. Thanks.

>>15764166
No problem, mate.
Even though it wasn't me who helped you.

Man the art in Heart is really cool, way better than Ginharu. Apparently it's the artists first eroge? Looking forward to what he does next

>>15764266
I don't care much for him

>>15764266
Except for males, almost all of them, older ones don't even look like they belong to the same species as the heroines.

>>15764282
Males and females don't belong to the same species though

Sup jaypee, haven't kept up with the scene for a while now. What notable titles have been released in the past 12-18 months or so?

Most recent thing I just kinda finished reading is Interview with Kaziklu Bey (which is so damn good, making me want to replay Dies for Mercurius and his sexy voice),

Barring aside a really anticlimatic last battle, despite the guy having some pretty great combos, Mao's route was pretty great, delved a lot into the actual plot of the game and makes me excited for the next couple of routes. Also liked how there was actual relationship development in the route unlike in Tsukuyomi's, I didn't even know i was in her route until they started fucking.
I also like how the game uses Sky's assemblers and how something that was the basis for the true end using assemblers to create bodies for electronic ones feels so wrong in it because of the implications.

Do routes come later in the story in Maitetsu?

>>15764008
Prepare for more of Sara bullshit in Rinne's route.
Sara is literally the drama starter. Fuck her.

>>15764359
Heard けつはめ! was a 10/10

should be right up your alley

>>15757769
Fuck u, I want my antagonists to be a tsundere, not rapist madmans. Though I maybe liked Genha a bit in the last route in the last battle with him. Or maybe it was just pity. Poor lad.
>one trick pony
You're right here, though. I looked at the BaldrForce heroines and thought... Yeah,it's Baldr sky shuffled.

The seven princesses are winnable heroines in Hana Hime Absolute?

>>15764641
>Fuck her.
If only you could.

Just throw some random interesting games at me

>>15765031
命のスペア

>>15764594
Yeah. There's like, 12 or so chapters or whatever and then there's a choice between the three girls. You pick one. You immediately start her route. There's the whole game.

>>15765162
Choices in VNs sure have devolved since the days of D.C.II and Clannad.

Did someone play Ichibun no ni Koigokoro by Amanoha? Finally it released after 2 years of unexpected delays (still don't know what the reasons, because technical perfomance looks very easy and without any special effects). Even dunno is it worth playing or not? By the way, listen the soundtrack and find our that in the opening song music louder than words... Or it's only me.

>>15765171
Surely you know not to judge a medium's current state by one game, right? Plenty of games have more complexity.

Will Kud Wafter ever be translated? Someone picked up the project decades ago but the page has since turned into a depression/suicide blog with no releases.

>>15765219
Fuck off.

>>15765269
Why so aggressive jeez?!

>>15765162
Do Fukami, Nagi and Reina have routes also?

>>15765344
Most main characters who aren't Hachiroku, Paulette, or Hibiki have mini routes unlocked after completing one of the above (Paulette unlocks Reina, Hibiki unlocks Kisaki, Hachiroku unlocks Makura, Fukami and Nagi). Mini routes are shorter.

>>15765362
Oh nice, thanks

Hina a cute

Can someone explain why Oretsuba is supposed to be so good? I feel like I was memed.

>>15765529
The superb writing and comedy isn't conveyed through machine translators or text hookers.

>>15765533
I have a feeling your "superb writing and comedy' doesn't exist if your only defense of the game is that anyone who doesn't love it is using machine translators.

>>15765549
Not only, just one.

>>15765529
It's fun to read

wow the romance in baldr heart is terrible lol

How is Chaos Child?

>>15765587
i have to agree with this message kek

>>15765671
Well on a scale of shit - farts it's a wet fart.

>>15765529
Cute characters saying cute and funny stuff.

How far down Hachiroku's route in the story until I get to plow her

>>15766160
You will never get to plow her.
She is 2D.
You're not.
You can't even touch her.

>>15766216
How far down Hachiroku's route in the story until the protagonist of the vn plows her

>>15765529
Just drop it like I did. I didn't even get past the first MC. He's just insufferable. I don't believe game is good if you have to suffer this shit.
>>15765735
Fuck you. It's alright.

>>15766237
Well, if your definition of alright is a wet fart then sure, buddy. Just be honest about it no one here is gonna judge you just because you like shitty games.

>>15766261
wet fart is not that bad desu

>>15766608
if you have low standards that is. plenty of "people" enjoy shit moege so a wet fart isn't that bad in comparison i guess...

>>15766227
All of Maitetsu H in Omake, like in Chrono Clock.
3 main heroines have 1 h-scene at the end of the route, but it's skipped in the plot and can be viewed in Omake. All other H opens after you finish the route.

>>15766636
>shit moege
The act of reading in itself can bring me something close to sexual pleasure if what I'm reading is interesting. The reason I like moege is because to me, the stimulation from a good moege is actually better than sex. There is always something going on and that something is usually meant to shake up the emotions or engage the intellect.

>>15766768
whatever makes you feel better, just don't delude yourself man it doesn't lead to anything good. just face it, you are reading shit because you like how shit tastes. there isn't anything necessarily bad about it

>>15766783
I don't suffer through the slice of life and daily scenes like some of you do. I can sit back and enjoy what I'm reading without feeling any stress whatsoever from the reading itself, as long as the VN isn't too bad. In addition, even scenes too difficult to read for the average VN-player are relatively simple for me to read, so i don't get significantly stressed out by that factor either.

>>15766787
i see... you, sir, are an enlightened one. i bet nobody else in this thread has reached such heights of japanese reading comprehension yet.
that's your choice and all, but deluding yourself into thinking you're not eating shit when it clearly looks and smells like it isn't the best idea. just saying, i have a lot of experience with self delusions and they are pretty hard to destroy.

>>15766787

When does Baldr Heart get good?

>>15766814
nagi route (last one)

>>15766814
countdown 3.... 2.... 1....
never

>>15766803
One thing I've noticed over the last years is that people frequently have subtly different opinions than I do, and I get asked frequently how I can play so many moege/charage. The answer is relatively simple... I read about 20 times faster than most of the rest of you - with the exception of a few bibliophiles. What is a true chore, taking up tens of hours for you, might very well only be a short eight to ten hours for me. Reading that fast - whether in English or Japanese - gives me a greatly different perspective than a lot of the others here.

My stamina for reading in general and reading VNs in particular is far higher than the rest of you. Fundamentally, the idea of breaking a VN up over the course of weeks or months is alien to me, since even the longest ones will only take me about thirty hours (even in a busy week, I can usually manage to squeeze that in during breaks and meals).

One of the reasons people tend to get tired of VNs is a lack of stimulation due to low reading speed. I read fast enough that a good VN's stimulation will be close to constant, whereas a slow reader will sometimes come to feel 'in-between' scenes that are meant to be short and informative as painful and long. I burnout less often than you. For me, burnout is a process that takes months. There is another type of burnout that I experience when I play a truly great VN... but this is something that is almost like that feeling you get after a night of good sex, so it is closer to 'pleasurable exhaustion'.

>>15766831
I'm stealing this for pasta.

>>15766831
i'm really interested in your method. how did you calculate your reading speed to be higher than mine without any external frame of reference? and you made that assumption not only about me but about other posters too. how did you gather so much info on all the people in these threads? i'm starting to suspect you work for some governmental agency like the nsa. are these suspicions warranted?

>>15766836
It already was pasta.

>>15766831
i would also like to add that i am extremely skilled in the art of sophistry, debating and language manipulation so you can't get your ass outta this one unless you have some solid facts to back your magic up.

>>15766845
Fuck. Well, it's brilliant regardless.

>>15766852
i agree, it's pretty good. so the vote is unanimous huh? what about overthrowing some governments?

>>15766831

It's like with eating. You can devour your food fast, but you won't really know how good it was. So ultimately you aren't doing yourself a favor. Especially with this medium, where part of the experience is voice acting. It's one way, but that's all there is to it.

Sure, you can probably stomach more works than others, but you won't really be able to enjoy certain special works as much as others can either. It's really a double edged sword. So it's a choice: Search for works that are great while dropping crap, or devouring everything you start with everything turning into one grey mesh of mediocrity.


You could always try and mix this, but that's hard. If you search for good works, you aren't satisfied with just rushing through something without it ever being special so it wouldn't change anything. Likewise if you always rush, you won't be able to just sit down and read something slower to savior it and its atmosphere and listen to the voice-acting as you get always tempted to fall into your usual rut. That's how people tend to be.
So yeah, pick your poison.

wow it's like i'm playing subahibi all over again these posts are getting pretty fucking deep kek

I cant take it...

>>15766864
>It's really a double edged sword.
Yes... Powers like this truly are a double edged demonic sword just waiting to be unleashed.

How do I enter yuri route in baldr heart?
I got the good end for mao but I went a bit through the new game and didn't see any new options.

>>15765671
The cast is great and the common/true route is pretty good, even though the true ending feels a bit weak. All the girl's routes other than Kurisu are fucking dumb, but thankfully they're very short.
I had fun reading it.

>>15766922
Figured it out. You can see where the new 分析 is from the chart.

>>15766953
>All the girl's routes other than Kurisu are fucking dumb
Not true. Uki's route was great.

Recommendations on cute lolige nukige(or atleast some lewd scenes and alot of pantsu shots) and good art?

I like scenes like when the MC wakes up and shes asleep on top of him or shes about to kiss the MC and he wakes up then she gets embarrassed

How long does the middle school section last in terms of days? I was thinking it'd just be a brief prologue prior to a full fledged high school section but now I'm not so sure.

>>15768680
Something close to the school year.

>>15768847
The whole year? That's way longer than I expected.

>>15768851
With timeskips galore, going from Beth's route.

>>15768442
I like that Kyou's route is canon to Natsuki's route in hoshiori and Hina's in ginharu, pizzamoon deserved a timeline in which it became the biggest chain in japan thanks to MC.

maya>kyou

>>15768856
How's her route? She was kinda boring in the common route so I'm thinking about skipping her. But I dont want to miss out koizumi amane's lewd art.

Opinions on Takaya Aya?

This applies to translated VNs as well, but what's the most sensible way to legally buy VNs in the original Japanese? Can you buy a digital version from most of the publishers these days? This seems like a dumb question, but the only Japanese VNs I've ever bought I literally got physical copies while I was in Japan and brought back with me.

>>15769025
I think download editions do tend to come out but usually physical copies come out earlier.

>>15769025
amazon

>>15769025
If you're in a country where customs isn't likely to open your box and place you on a Sex Offender registry or whatever for ordering a porn game, you can import most new games with little issue from Amiami without needing to use a proxy or forwarder.
Mandarake is a decent enough for used copies as well.

Download editions usually come out a couple of months after the initial physical release, but not all brands release them. These are usually through DMM or other sites.

>>15768989
I think he's pretty cool. I like that he just ignores current trends and does whatever he wants, and somehow gets away with it. He also does tons of research for what he writes, and you end up learning about a bunch of random subjects when reading his games. Some people might find the constant tip boxes annoying, but I personally like them.

Is anyone else feeling burnout form the sheer length of all these VNs? I like reading books, and so I have a history of picking up books and finishing them that day, feeling fulfilled. But VNs on average are thrice to four times the size of a book and contain less information density to boot, with most of the excessive size coming from what I determine to be fluff narration and dialogue meant for immersion. While I can appreciate that, I'm really starting to feel worn down. I see a VN I'm interested in but then I see, like, 30時間, 40時間 on EGS and my motivation just drains immediately. Any thoughts or other experiences on this? I'm tempted to just start reading plain Japanese novels/lns instead. I love VNs but the time investment for every single title is killing me.

>>15769310
While VNs are technically longer a lot of the length is padding and fluff as you said, so it's easier to read. 1 hour of reading a VN is like 20 minutes of reading a book for me, "stamina" wise.

Sounds like less of a length issue but more of a general burn out from VNs to me. If you're enjoying the thing you're reading length isn't really an issue (or rather the opposite, you don't want it to end). Just drop stuff when you start to dread reading it, no obligation to commit to all those hours.

>>15769310
Well my reading speed in general is pretty slow so I know what you mean.
Always do some research before I start reading to be sure I wont waste my time.

About to start １分の２恋ゴコロ. I wonder how much of a mess it will be because of all the delays. The file size alone is worrying me, it's only 1.8 GB.

Anyone here a fan of Nounai Kanojos games?

>>15769324
The problem with me, I think, is that I usually get invested into a VN, but by the 10th or 20th hour of reading I've grown tired of the setting or characters or some other crucial element of the story. You're right that if I'm enjoying myself then I don't take issue with length, the problem is just that from everything I've read, rarely do the characters or setting justify the length or carry the game through it. There's a lot of games I've dropped after 10-20 hours that would have been some of my favourites if they hadn't just kept dragging it out. I don't think it's a problem with burning out on VNs, really. Because I love a lot of the VNs I read. I just can't see them all to the end out of exhaustion with the enormous lengths.

Is Baldr Heart another split game like Dive and Zero?

>>15769584
No.

>theres an after story patch for chii-chan

>>15769614
Neat.

The next Star Wars trilogy is going to be split, just like Episode.

Not that guy, but these lolis are so cute. Thanks for the recommendation, anon.

>>15770532
I quite enjoyed Tsuunshibo's cuteness but then the sex scenes began and it was just hella uncomfortable.

>>15770552
Really? Dude I broke my penis in Nonoka's route. She's so healthy.

>>15770552
As in they were written awkwardly or them being lolis made you uncomfortable? If its the latter I can't see me having any problems.

>>15770723
I've played some lolige before and didn't have issues. Tsuushinbo, for me (probably not you), just felt a lot different and pretty uncomfortable.

>>15770747
Interesting. Any idea as to why? Perhaps other ones you've played did more of the adult in a child's body type of thing? I'm not far in, but so far Tsuushinbo seems to be doing a good job of actually portraying them as kids.

>>15770785
I couldn't tell you, but what I do know is what really threw me off and I didn't recover from is one of Emi's first H-scenes (the one with the pills, you'll know what I'm talking about). If you read that un-phased, you're a lolicon from a different cloth than I.

>>15770900
Challenge accepted. I hope I can make it there before I go to sleep.

Finished Baldr Heart, or at least what I think is the good end of true route and I don't feel like getting the bad ends.

Game:
Gameplay wise it's a straight improvement to Sky; there's more enemies and a larger variety of them at once, weapon unlock system is less restrictive (instead of strict tree you only need to use one weapon in the class corresponding to a Fei to unlock more weapons in the same class and unlock other classes, meaning less time spent grinding with shitty weapons you don't like using) and the new Fei action command mapped to a new key enables one extra move that's usable more than once in a combo, ranging from joke shit to a very useful dodge cancel to heat consuming finishers.

On the other hand the game also suffers from same issues as Sky; battles against groups of medium sized or elite mobs are always harder than any proper boss fight, which is even worse due to how many enemies there will be at once. Last boss was more difficult than Sky's though. I played through the game on Hard and I don't know how I would have ever survived if not exclusively using air combos in order to not get constantly interrupted, and even then I was often having a hard time since many late game enemies have anti-air or flying capabilities. There were also few, probably not properly playtested battles where literally every single enemy on the screen has constant knockback, combo interrupting abilities which caused some genuine rage and made me lower to Very Easy for one battle in the true route.

Story:
Story wise I didn't get as much into Heart. There were some good moments, but in my opinion too much time was spent repeating same shit already revealed and explained in other routes and the last route in particular felt like it had some pacing issues, with more and more silly stuff, flashbacks and twists coming up all the time and characters constantly alluding that NOW THIS is the final battle. It feels like everything notable is packed very tight towards the end. The one new emotional BGM used in the last route doesn't have that much impact when it's used for how many god damn times. Last moments in particular had me often screaming for the game to finally end. The game also felt like it missed Sky's variety, since unlike Sky with various politically and morally grey factions in Heart you spend almost exclusively exploring the setting from one good guys' camp in a (relatively) straight cut 1 faction vs. 1 faction scenario.

I didn't really get into the characters either and some of them felt like copies of old ones as if they were going through a checklist, like Naoto being a Gilbert replacement, Wilhelm being the new badass dad leading a PMC, General is a less interesting Isao, and the last route's (both Sky and Heart spoilers) Nagi felt somewhat like Sora with the samey surprise childhood link revealed near the end, or Yuudai being the "nice guy who is totally not secretly evil wink wink" like Sky's professor, but without a proper motivation other than being a completely irredeemable pervert. Heroines were forgettable and romance pretty abrupt. The main antagonists were also really silly, unlikeable and melodramatic despite how hard the game tried to make you feel sorry for Misaki.

Despite all this rant, overall it's not a bad ride. Apart from the last route's pacing issues the story is serviceable enough (if somewhat repetitive but this was also an issue with Sky), battle BGM is mostly good and if you liked Sky's gameplay you'll probably love this one too. Just don't go in expecting too many mind blowing main twists as the game "foreshadows" so much shit it might as well have spoiled them before their actual reveals (also an issue Sky had), though admittedly there was also a few good ones that I didn't see coming.

>>15768989

I love his writing style, especially the way he handles fighting scenes.

>best air combo waifu.jpg
I'm using three of her weapons and her fay action and she's leveling to 5 like utter shit.

Rather awkward conversation to have on a first meeting.

I want HD rereleases of Favorite's eroge. It's a crime that their beautiful art has to be confined to blurry low resolutions in-game.

>>15771815
I don't, their games are awful and the art got boring really quick.

List some lewd moege with imouto routes

>>15772014
Clochette stuff?

>>15772014

It's harder to list some with none. Just pick a random one and you got a good chance to have some kind of "imouto" there. And if for whatever magical reason that's not the case, you'll probably still have a girl who calls the protag "onii-chan" or something similar.

I was actually starting to think having "onii-chan" become a KO criteria for what eroge I play, but it's just way too common. Even games that I quite enjoyed have that in them, so I gave up..

>>15772014
All of them

美少女ゲームよ！

>>15772148
This game is a comedy gold, most hilarious game I have ever read, Plus it's a great youth story. It's seems Romeofags didn't like it much but I enjoyed it for being a straightforward work and pretty easy to enjoy. I guess Romeo games are too deep for me for now, but I hope keeps working on making games like this.

>>15772186
His good games have that comedy too though, on top of a good plot. This one is just the comedy part without the plot part.

Or comedy.
Or something that isn't a girl being cute with a 80% chance of the route sucking hard,

>>15772420
Teach people how to write stories

>>15772420
They're one of the very best selling eroge devs. Seems to me they don't need or want any fixing.

>>15772772
Hiring writers who try to make things "interesting" always carries a risk of backfiring. See Koikake for a recent example. Nah, they should just keep doing what they're doing because it's working spectacularly for them.

>>15772799
I mean writers like August's (see: Fortune Arterial, Daitoshokan).

>>15772814
Yeah, they learned their lesson after Eustia sold like shit.

>>15772822
I listed the good games they wrote as moege, not the plotge, because we're talking about moege.

>>15772836
Right, and I'm agreeing with you. But they prove my point that trying to spice things up quite often just ends up harming your sales. And given Yuzusoft's position, they have no reason to take risks by hiring people who, let's face it, probably won't be as good as the August writers.

>>15772887
I think the main thing, is that "Aiyoku no Eustia" wasn't trying to spice up a moege, it was trying to be something entirely different, i.e. a plotge. Diatoshokan tried to spice up moege and they did a good job in my opinion.

It's more the I've completely forgotten about the actual Lynne and am screwing my daughter that got her.

>>15774462
Wait, He didn't even screwed Rinne in this loop. ^_^ Well duh, Linne also forgot because of the cold sleep and found out only recently, no?

>>15772049
>And if for whatever magical reason that's not the case, you'll probably still have a girl who calls the protag "onii-chan" or something similar.
I think you should lay off Senren Banka for a while dude

>>15774473
Protip a couple of months passes until he tells Kuu about the marriage thing and is quite heavily hinted he's fucked his daughter and feels so bad he can't even look at her.

>>15774462
Nah, she was totally fine with that as long as it made everyone but her happy.
What got her is Setsuna being a dense nigger and talking big like he knows shit when he misunderstood fucking everything as always.

>>15774473
He fucked his multiple daughters in countless loops already anyway, and looks like the original Rinne was his sister so

>>15774525

It's not just there. Sakura no Mori Dreamers as well. Purely Cation as well. And the list goes one, but those are some "relatively" recent ones that come to mind. In Purely Cation it's not even a girl who's at least in some kind of way related to the protag who wants to call him onii-chan...

Well, gotta deal with it.

>>15774575
> looks like the original Rinne was his sister so
No, this isn't right. There's no indication the Onii-chan Setsunas were ever actually related to the MC in any way.

>>15774647
>it's not even a girl who's at least in some kind of way related to the protag
Welcome to Japanese

>>15774697
Well, the MC had to come from somewhere the very first time, so I believe the legend was true in that regard. Like, the first go he was her actual onii-chan and as he went freezing himself on his incestuous journey further Rinnes already had extra brothers.

Now I wonder if all of the endings where he settled with other girls/died broke the cycle forever or siscon gene is so strong the cycle started again in the next 20000 years anyway.

>>15774831
But that's just your arbitrary opinion, it's never actually stated in the game.

I liked the idea of the Onii-chan Setsunas being red herrings, there to distract you from the true storyline. Like, the scene at the end of Rinne's first route where you go to the island believing the other Setsuna is you was one of the best parts of the VN, and if it turned out that was actually you it would ruin the impact. I know they're different timeline Onii-chans but it's clearly essentially the same character reborn.

>>15774831
the old man in winter's route called him Setsuna. Maybe he really resembles/or is actually a brother from long before.
Also, I don't fucking get how can Setsuna have flashbacks/information from Karen/Sara routes if there is no way that he goes to 20216 and back after them. So it can't be memories from previous loops. Plothole. Island is a one big plothole.

>>15774928
It's not actually information from their routes, he just knows shit thanks to looping through it 100 times and they jumped to conclusions.

>>15774948
So It was just Sara redherring as always? Stupid bitch.

>bethly flashbacks in ginharu
>both parents speak to her in fluent Japanese
Immersion ruined

>>15775089
That's actually not that surprising at all if they moved to Japan for work related reasons.

>>15775101
Rather, if her parents spoke to her in fluent Japanese since she was a child (to the point she responded in Japanese), her Japanese wouldn't so shitty in middle school that she doesn't even know what "よろしくお願いします" means, or how to say "わかります" to express understanding.

I mean, I know there's a balance. If they spoke English, the Japanese readers wouldn't understand what was going on. But a big part of Bethly's character is the language barrier. So some consistency would be nice.

>>15775113
>So some consistency would be nice.
Fair enough, although it sounds like it's a problem that would easily be fixed with something like, changing the point in time they started talking in Japanese at home to a later point in life like when started to plan the move to Japan in the first place?

>>15775135
It seems they fixed it by having him speak in fluent Japanese, then later say he was actually speaking English the whole time. Not very subtle or elegant, but I guess I shouldn't expect more from a moe game.

>>15773996
Not even in a bonus scene? I'm a little disappointed but not surprised. Oh well, at least she's cute and all her friends are cute too.

Uh, well, damn. I guess I was wrong about this being a pure love game. Ginharu spoilers.

Given that you're financially limited and can only buy one game, would you buy from a well-known brand (e.g. August) knowing that your expectations will be met or support a lesser known brand?

>>15776153
I'd pirate everything.

>>15776153
I suppose it depends on how much you value supporting the smaller publishers, as well as how much you'd be disappointed if the game wasn't to your liking.

>Ginharu
I know it goes over middle school and high school but does it go into the adult years?

>>15776153
Really, the brand is hardly as relevant as the author/scenarist. I'd buy games from authors I really liked and would not buy a game from an author I don't like. I would play the trial from the lesser known author and if I didn't like it I wouldn't buy the game. No need to buy based solely on brand names.

>>15776181
Yes

Do you think this will get delayed to 2017? We haven't had a trailer since last year.

>>15776153
I'd pick it based on author/artist/series I enjoy, picking something based on brand name alone seems a tad silly.

>>15776153
I take into account if I'm interested in the game and how the game is. Meaning if I'm looking for a moege and it's a good timewaster or naki/utsuge and it makes me feel those, I would then check each stores that offer their each respective tokuten then I buy it depending on their tokuten.

Has anyone here ever bought anything from ampnet.jp? If so how did it go?

>>15776153
In general I just buy whatever I'm looking forward to. If I can't afford everything I want in a given month, I'll tend to prioritize smaller publishers like Liar-soft, doujin circles, etc., as well as risky/niche games. I don't feel that bad about pirating Yuzusoft moege if absolutely necessary, for example.

But really, in the end all eroge publishers are small and need all the support they can get. I figure since I have the means to support the industry I love, I'm going to do it whenever I can.

>>15776153
I'll buy the one with the best tokuten.
If I'm spending close to 120 shekels to buy a new game and import it, I'm going to get my moneys worth in actual physical goods.

Anyone know if the Himawari remake by Frontwing includes the fandisc Aqua After?

>>15777088
Everything BUT that.

>>15777088
I'll contact my sleeper cells in Japan.... nope....

>>15777088
Nope. It has こもれび and かげろう as unvoiced, spriteless side stories unlocked after clearing the main game though. If you're new to Himawari I'd suggest playing through the entire remake first and then downloading and playing Aqua After, as it assumes you know the events of Asuka route as well and the side stories are also tangentially related.

>>15777130
can i sex her?

>>15777138
Yeah, she even gets pregnant in the fan disk, though sadly no CG for sprites for that.

>>15777130

Thanks. The artstyle switch and whatnot will probably be awkward, but alas what can you do. Weird that they included other sidestories, but not the FD.

>>15777202
The FD is quite... special and it makes sense they didn't include it in an all-ages release, at least in japan.

>>15777601
play just by trying to gauge the deepest outcum just look deep and try to figure out the underlying themes and philosophical messages.

>>15777067
They actually do so in other parts of the game. Consistency would be nice.

>>15777601
There's a few odd parts where the story branches to canon and non-canon lines with the latter obviously not netting you the next chapter. The flags for the 3 final endings are also harder to find, or if you played normally you wouldn't probably even know that there are two more endings. The non-canon lines in most chapters are optional IIRC, but I'd suggest playing through them first if you want to play them at all. Use this walkthrough as it lists the routes in proper order.

>>15779189
Haven't played Fortune Arterial, but as for Daitoshokan and Eustia, it doesn't really matter which you start with. Daito if you prefer games mainly about romance and comedy, Eustia if you prefer games with a good, (mostly) mature story with comedic writing coursed through it.

>>15779189
Eustia

>>15775833

>>15777242
I can see why they decided against including Aqua After in the remake, but it's still a real shame. It wouldn't be so bad if Aqua After was just optional extra content, but it's more of a final route that's vital for the whole experience and answer the remaining big questions. Without it the main game's stinger ending would be pretty infuriating.

Why do authors keep shitting 'foreign' heroines out who were always in Japan for their entire life? What's the point?

>>15779598
At least in Ginharu the foreign heroine was in Canada until she turned 13/14.
Though this has a slight negative effect... in that due to her stilted language even in the high school period, she kind of gives off an aura of someone kinda slow/childish.

>>15779512
Aqua and Aries are two horrible bitches, neither of whom I wanted for an after story. Why it wasn't Asuka, why.

>>15779598
Probably the appeal of dating a foreign beauty without the related speech issues, since the latter may be difficult for authors or VAs to replicate believably, is what I'd guess. I remember cringing at PxC's Elektrichka.

>>15779643
>she kind of gives off an aura of someone kinda slow/childish
Haven't yet played the game and so I can't judge, but I think that's intended. At least most foreigners that I've heard speaking my mother tongue have sounded somewhat stunted in expressing even the simplest things.

>>15779717
I almost screamed at the screen when this came up. But I think that's part of Himawari's appeal.

>>15779719
Well, I mean, I don't think they wanted it to impact how the character feels THIS much... She's a high schooler at this point but sometimes it feels like interacting with a 8 year old with ginormous tits. I think, in the process of simplifying the language, they forgot to be sure to express her complexity and maturity.

Something about August art doesn't jibe well with me

>>15779785
A lot of characters suffer from same face syndrome

>>15779719
It's only an issue if you want it to be an issue. Majikoi pulled Chris off without her speaking a single word German in the game (at one point they even made fun of it).

>>15779811
And they still managed to convey her foreignness and unnatural language without resorting to shitty broken Japanese that no one likes listening to. Great example of how to do foreign characters well.

>>15779509
I hate how every heroine in this is a titmonster except for one girl. Same with Amatsutsumi.

>>15779643
Does she sound as bad as say the Russian Girl in Pretty Cation?
There's other examples of what I mean but I can't think of any right now.

>>15780095
I couldn't tell you, didn't read it.
Her sentences are simplistic and her pronunciation slow. In middle school, it was moe because a lot of emphasis was put on how she just didn't understand Japanese, either speaking or being spoken to, so it played into a language barrier theme... but by high school, she fluently understands and speaks (generally), so still being stiff and simplistic is just uncomfortable with no language barrier theme.

>>15780115
I see. Bethly was the one whose design I like best so that could be a pretty big downside for me.
Well, Kazane is still in the game so even if I wind up being unable to stand the way Bethly speaks that should at least make up for it somewhat.

Great characters and great fun throughout. It is a tad long though and Hana's route was a bit fucked in tone and world logic but Nono's was top quality. Senri was sweet. It is odd that I can like her so much but be completely put off by Nono.

I like the end though, make sense of a lot of things but is sequel bait. Kunosato is bound to show up again in the series but Takuru's story is over. He got a pretty bad end compared to the rest of the protagonists in the series. No romance, and a parting end from everyone.

Dies Irae is living up to the hype for me I typically don't read this sort of game. /jp/ is actually pretty on ball with its recommendations.

>>15781481
>もったいないわねぇ
EXACTLY

>>15781610
>make sense of a lot of things
I honestly hated the syndrome twist, it seemed pretty pointless to me since the world we saw through Takuru's eyes didn't look significantly different from the real one so it ends up looking like syndrome kids turned into zombie old men just to maintain a delusion they don't look like zombie old men.

jesus fuck do I ever regret doing Bethly's route. it's like i'm dating a grade schooler trapped in an adult's body. if i hear her say she's fucking 嬉しい one more time i will actually go insane.

i just want to fug yuzuki. but i'm too far in to turn back now. how do you guys cope with route regret?

>>15781901
Reload? I'm assuming you save at every choice like I do. Though some games with a lot of spread-out route flags are a pain in the ass to pick a different route.

Regret's a bitch though, it can kill a less interesting game for me. I rarely manage to stick it out if the girl turns out boring or the drama turns out to suck, but that's just me.

as an aside, Bethly is a really dumb name.

>>15779512
What were the remaining big questions? Care to spoil them for me?

I enjoyed Himawari as a whole, but the girls were not my taste to say the least.

>>15781829

>>15781949
>What were the remaining big questions?
Main game ended with the after credits stinger of Cosmos (who was a spriteless side character throughout the game) declaring she and Himawari (Youichi and Asuka's child) will become mankind's enemy, right? Aqua After explains the reasoning behind it, though the side stories did also touch upon the virus' origins and the keyword about Luna Virus also hinted that there may be an "original memory" the virus is holding, and かげろう mentioned that original memory may not be very pleasant due to being stuck on the Moon for god knows how long.

Aqua After also explains how Daigo was so sure about Akari being alive, as Cosmos told him she "saw" Akari and knew about the A to A ring (in the memories she received from the virus). It also explains why Daigo lost his memory at the end of Aqua's Episode (the virus), plus it also properly fleshes out the different ways the virus affects its victims. If you got all the bad ends in the main game and thus unlocked the extra happy end for Aries (the one where she turns into Aoi, but the extra bit reveals she was just pretending and was actually as much of a "failure" as Aqua and she didn't actually get her memories or personality overwritten), it also gets sort of explained as there's only one way the virus starts overwriting memories, which was the case with both Cosmos and Aoi, since Cosmos was born from infected Momiji and Aoi born from infected Akari.

If you want a tl;dr of Aqua After's plot
Cosmos secretly NTRs Youichi form Aqua and wipes the memories of it happening. Aqua gets pregnant, but the virus also infects their baby. Towards the end Aries and Akira realize Aqua and her baby are infected by the Luna virus, and destroying the virus would also kill the baby. Aqua realizes how Youichi and her got infected through seeing Cosmos' dreams, and first attempts to kill Cosmos with the cure (since Cosmos was also infected through the 4th way). In the end Aqua realizes she has no right to kill Cosmos, sticks the cure in her own pregnant stomach, aborting her own baby. Game ends with Aqua and Cosmos both knowing the truth and the implication that mankind may be very fucked in the future, though Aqua and Cosmos themselves make up with each other.

>>15782978

Finished baldr heart.

The final fight is great.
The hug insta KO is pretty fucking brutal.

Got really lucky and did the クライマックスフィンガー (fire punch girl spec) in fire which made my cool-down bar max (3 bars) and I released it almost perfectly which dealt bonus 3000 damage.

I completed the game pretty much 100% with on-ground combat on hard. You don't really have to make complex combos to deal with enemies. I could still pull 1000+ damage combos without thinking too much about what button I'm pressing. It's nice to have one ability to get the flying ones down ready though (I used whip).

Do yourself a favor and play all boss battles on at least hard though. You won't get much satisfaction completing them on normal since they have A LOT less HP on it.

Scenario wise, I think it handled repetition a bit better than Sky. Overall improvement in writing too. It's the same story telling style like in the previous games though (trying to make you feel sorry for someone, predictable cliche twists,...) so if you didn't like it in sky you won't like it any better now.

By the way, I just got an update pushed when running the game so if you're still playing you might want to do that.

Also, does anyone know how to use the battle skip option? I don't see it anywhere.

かつていたざくろちゃんはもうどこにもいなくなっていた。
遠い世界の果てまで私は探しに行った。何億光年という距離の旅をした。
それでもざくろちゃんは姿をみせてくれなかった。ずっと一人でさまよっていた私が惨めだった。
死にたい･･･一人でつぶやいて目を瞑った。浮かび上がってくるのはざくろちゃんの顔だった。
記憶の中にある美しいざくろちゃん。ざくろちゃんの艶やかな黒髪、やわらかな頬、まるで実体があるかのように思えて私は手を触れた。
ひさしぶり、ざくろちゃん。私は言った。ざくろちゃんもそっと私の頬に手を触れてきた。私たちは互いにつながっていた。心だった。
心の中にざくろちゃんは存在して私と一体化していた。沸々を湧き上がってくる情動に身を任せて私はざくろちゃんいるぞー！！と叫んだ。
街中だった。ビルの屋上だった。風がふいていた。一歩踏み出せば、転落死確実な高さの場所に私は立っていた。見下ろすと人が米粒のように小さかった。
そうだ、私はいま自殺をしようとしていたんだった。
ざくろちゃんを見つけられなくて嫌になってこの世に希望はないなんて思いつめて、ここまできたんだった。
ぼんやりと自分の手を見た。まだ白い幼いような少女の手だった。これはざくろちゃんの手だと思った。
さっきまではどんなにこれが老けてみえただろう。傷だらけの手だったのだ。
私は無心に頭をかきむしったり、壁につめを立ててがりがりしたり、猫みたいに四速歩行で街を歩いていたり、ゴミ箱をあさっていたり、
そんなめちゃくちゃなことばかりしていたんだった。思い出した。私は、荒廃していた。それがどうだろう。心の中のざくろちゃんと会えて、
私は清純そのものになったのだった。ふと空を見上げた。ひまわりが咲いていた。眩しすぎて目を細めた。しかし、美しかった。
どこまでも吸い込まれていきそうな空だった。もしかすると足を踏み出せば落ちるんじゃなくて上空に舞い上がっていくのかもしれない、そう思えた。
心が妙に浮き立った。ねぇ、ざくろちゃん、私はここから足を踏み出してもいいのかな。落ちて死んでしまわないかな、でもきっと大丈夫だよね。
だってざくろちゃんは翼が生えているから私と一緒に飛んでくれるんだもんね。わたし、ざくろちゃんと一緒に飛びたい。
この雲がひとつもない青空をどこまでも、どこまでも突き抜けていきたい。
雲を超えて、地表なんてみえない高さのところまでいってきっとそこは天国に近い場所で私とざくろちゃんはいつまでも笑い会って旅をするんだ。
終わりなき空のたび。永遠に続く旅。ずっと幸せ、私とざくろちゃん、永遠に、一緒。もう何も心配することはなかった。踏み出そう、私は決意した。
一歩、足を踏み出した。ふわっという感覚が私を包み込んだ。心地よかった。ざくろちゃんが私を包み込んでくれたんだ。今から私は空へと旅をはじめるんだ。
よかった、私たちはハッピーだ。さようなら、地表の人、哀れな人間･･･。もう何も思いつめることはなかった。私たちは自由になった。
ざくろちゃん、これからはずっと一緒だね。ざくろちゃんは私にうんと言って、小さく微笑んでくれた。私たちは天使になった。

She's living in Japan, she doesn't have much of a choice.

>>15783364
She returns to Canada after middle school and spends a ton of time at home studying Japanese specifically so she can pass a test to go back to Japan for a year of high school specifically so she can be with MC again. I get the feeling in other routes she just goes back to Canada and stays there.

>>15783364
That's not true. She could date me .

That's fucking retarded. What was the writer thinking?

>>15783373
Because they mention it in her route that she's only in japan for a while because of her father.

>>15783378
That doesn't make a lot of sense either.

>>15783386
Obviously, the story is contrived from an author's mind, so you can say, "that isn't something that generally happens!", and yes you're right, but there's not a lot of meaning to it. We all know the story setup is contrived by an author. That's fine.

>>15783386
Why wouldn't that make sense? I know shit about the game, but say her dad got transferred to Japan for x amount of time and didn't want to leave his family, so he brought them with him. That actually happens you know.

>>15783304
確かに

>>15783393
Some authors can make a story believable, the retard who wrote this VN obviously can't.
>>15783401
Because it doesn't follow basic cause-effect laws of logic.

>>15783413
Well now, this is certainly believable. There's nothing unbelievable about one's work requiring one to move. It's just uncommon.

>>15783416
Not really. A shitty writer wouldn't know though as he probably hasn't worked.

>>15783420
Surely you're joking, Anonymous man.

>>15783423
Nope, feel free to point out my "jokes", Anonymous boy.

>>15783427
The joke that it's not believable for one's work to require them to move.

>>15783433
I'd say the joke is that someone thought this would be believable and actually wrote it into a vn script.

>>15783420
It's actually quite common amongst salarymen in Japan. Even teachers will be transferred to the other side of a prefecture and live in school/government housing for the week and only go home to their wives on weekends, etc.

It's less common internationally, but it does happen, especially with people coming to Japan. I had a buddy that was an engineer that came over for a year assignment with a big company and brought his wife and two elementary school-aged children. Obviously, anecdotal and all that, but it definitely happens.

>>15783440
Citation needed. Anecdotal evidence doesn't count. I've worked a lot in different organizations but I've never seen anyone move like that.

>>15783448
>Anecdotal evidence doesn't count.
Then I have nothing else to add. Do your own research, bud. It happens.

>>15783448
>I've worked a lot in different organizations but I've never seen anyone move like that.

You guys are probably arguing with the same exact idiot who said only proper loli is his own personal definition of loli due to "lack of peer reviewed scientific research", who is looking to shit up the thread with off topic shit once again. The inane posting style is same. Just ignore him.

>>15783454
>It happens
That means nothing until you've provided actual evidence. I claim some bullshit and make up a story too, wouldn't make it true.

>>15783459
Give me your email and tell me which documents should I scan for you.

>>15783463
That probably wasn't me since I've been laying unconscious in a hospital for the past 6 months.

>>15783464
I just told you to do your own research. I'm not spoon-feeding you. Coming back and calling me a liar because you're too lazy or stupid too look it up is crass.

I actually just realized this has an easy solution. Bethly's dad is a pilot. So rather than talk about jobs in general, we can just look at pilots specifically. Lo and behold...

Sure. I'll do just that then.

Hahahaha. Nice one.

>>15783479
The article links primary sources. Did you even read it or did you just mock the URL?

>>15783474
That's cool. I'll use that info since I am a trained fighter jet pilot. I also participated in the 1985 Civil War.

>>15783487
You would've known the links are all dead if you checked yourself. I guess you didn't feel like verifying your sources because you trust CNN?

>>15783448
Well, in my city there's a school made specifically for Japanese kids whose parents temporarily staying here for work reasons:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihonjin_gakk%C5%8D

>>15783496
What city is that? There's a lot of schools on that list. How do I know your school is one of them?

>>15783492
By all do you mean one out of four? And that's just one website like I linked because it was the first result. If you google pilots moving abroad in general you find a lot of sources like
https://www.taxesforexpats.com/we-help/pilots.html
Which, at least, verify that indeed pilots to some degree move abroad which makes Bethly's father temporarily moving to Japan for a pilot job realistic.

>>15783505
I've checked every single link and they don't work. Your link is dead too.

>>15783502
Moscow
It shouldn't matter, though, just the existence of 85 those schools all over the world proves that working parents do take their kids with them to another country.

>>15783512
That's definitely a problem on your end.

>>15783514
Where is this school located? I'll be in Russia this month for work related reasons and I'll be sure to check it out.
>>15783516
I've just sent the site to another person and he can't get through either. Seems like the site doesn't even exist.

@faggot

I stand in awe at your dedication to trolling.

I would presume you sent it to someone near your physical location and that location is being firewalled or something? It definitely exists.

>>15783530
>Am I getting trolled?
Took you some time.

>>15783530
I've sent it to a person who doesn't even live in any country so there is no central ISP to censor anything.

I still can't get through, the site just doesn't exist. I'm not saying you're lying but it definitely looks that way.

>>15783538
I've found the only way to overcome immense social anxiety is to love myself and others as a rule, thus I've got the bad habit of always trusting other people. Oh well.

>>15783544
That's called stupidity.

>>15783544
Elaborate? I have pretty strong social anxiety but I don't know how that would help

>>15783544
>im not retarded guys!! its just that i have a really complicated reason for my retarded behavior please im not retarded!!
Uh... Cool.

>>15783547
He's just talking out of his ass to sound deep. It's really common here.

>>15783544
At least be a man about it. There is no need to fabricate a disease in your head to feel better about yourself.

>>15783547
It's probably not something that works for everyone, but it's like this. For me, social anxiety was predicated on some childhood trauma that ingrained some ideas into me: That I was bad, that others didn't like me, and that I was constantly being judged. Sometime ago I watched Evangelion, and a quote from the ending goes something like, "If you can't love yourself, you can't put your trust in other". I thought that was interesting. It's natural to assume people won't like you, if you don't like yourself. So, as a rule, I tried always loving myself. And, surprisingly, that helped with social anxiety, because I wasn't always thinking "Man I fucked up just now, man I suck, man everyone must hate me for being a loser". I was able to trust that other people weren't always trashing me. So, rule one I've adopted, is to always love myself.

As for loving others, that was a response to being a pretentious edge lord. It's easy for someone of above-average intelligence to always ace tests and feel smarter than their peers, and thereby develop a superiority complex. For me, I had to adopt the rule of "always love others", because otherwise I would always condescend and attack others. For example, one joke is that Heaven would just be earth, but everyone always understands your intentions when you mess up. This led to social anxiety because when you attack others, they tend to attack back, so I was constantly getting into fights with other people. By defaulting to the idea that people are good by nature and by trying to love them, my urge to attack and my condescension in general faded, though admittedly I'm still working on it.

So, in situations like this, I'm predisposed to presume the person I'm speaking to isn't lying over something trivial just to fuck with another person. Even with the knowledge trolls do exist, if I operated under the assumption everyone I was talking to is a troll, or even if I constantly doubted wither anyone I ever talked to with a troll, then my second rule would greatly weaken and former bad habits would arise, so I keep operating in such a way I trust other people. Sometimes I get lied to and don't notice it like now, but it's not really a big deal. Manly because of someone states something as a fact, I'll trust that they believe what they're saying, but I won't trust the fact to be true without evidence, so it's not like I'm gullible in that sense.

Anyway, that's that.

Hanahime Absolute. Same devs as Princess Witches and Twinkle Crusaders apart from the main writer.

Not sure what to think of it so far. The battles have been easy even on Hard, and I'm still wondering why they decided to make Ex attacks only selectable before committing to regular attacks as Twinkle Crusaders' on-the-fly Ex attack selection made the game feel a bit more involving and you could do more Ex attacks if you got the meter up during the combo. The new support character / leader system doesn't feel like it has a big impact and I'm constantly selecting the same characters into the main party, f.ex. Ayane due to her having the same block Ex skill as PSS's Lolotte.

The silly pro gamer plot hasn't yet managed to catch my interest and I've yet to laugh once, the start at least is slow. The protagonist in particular seems pretty uninteresting, unlike Pricchi's awesome chuuni or Twinkle Crusaders' cute poor shota. He doesn't even participate in actual fights. Really love the heroine designs, but personality wise I'm not sure how interesting they'll be in the end.

>>15784101
>apart from the main writer
Which was the best part.

>>15784101
I tried playing Twinkle Crusaders a few years back and couldn't get into it. Might try Princess Witches since I heard the plot is pretty good.
Overall I just don't enjoy the gameplay enough to stomach Twinkle Crusaders' writing.

>>15784101
I'm reading it also, probably a little farther along than you judging by the screenshot.

>apart from the main writer
Well damn, that explains a lot.

Same complaints, really. There's absolutely zero stakes to the plot, I honestly have no idea what the point of anything is. Anko's the only one playing for anything other than fun, and that gets pushed to the side as soon as her intro arc is over. It's just a game, there's no sinister plots or even comic rivalries, it's just a bunch of goofy sluts versus a bunch of faggy idol dudes in ludicrous outfits playing Pokemon Go for the hell of it. Not to mention the painfully obviously foreshadowed 'twist' about the 女王 that I called from about 15 minutes in. It hasn't happened yet but the OP movie practically confirmed it.

The nicest thing I can say about the main character is that someone gave him a copy of the script; he spends much less time waffling over stuff like VR lolis appearing out of nowhere than I was afraid he would. On the other hand he treats whatever happened between him and Shiki like a PSTD'd 'Nam veteran who left a buddy behind to die, which is unintentionally hilarious.

It's just, I don't know. There's no point to it. I enjoy moege and don't usually mind that, but this game seems to think it does have a point. Like you said, it isn't even funny either.

But yeah, the girls' designs do things to my dick so I'm compelled to power through. Moe's a hell of a drug.

In battle, press the pause button and you'll have the option to skip the battle. Also it'll will pick the worst path when you skip battles.

When does the first timeskip happen in Gin'iro, Haruka? After the OP?

>>15785485
After the first OP, yeah. The OP separates the common route from the beginning of whichever character route you chose if I recall. By the way, it isn't "the first timeskip" really, the game constantly skips through days, weeks, and months throughout.
