Which Rea ending is better?

Hirume love!

>>20393449
First ending is more fitting as the finale of Dies irae, but I like the second ending more thanks to my Kamerad.

>>20393488
Is there a place where I can download all Dies Irae arts?

>>20393500
>all Dies Irae arts
There's quite a lot os unscanned stuff, so I don't think so. But there's some stuff on sadpanda, so go check it out. Don't forget to follow light, Masada and G-Yuusuke's twitter.

I want to rape Reinhard

I want to rape Reinhard.
He makes Mein hard.
I want to stick my finger tips.
Deep into his womanly wide hips.
I want to violate the Butcher of Prague.
I will do it in the style of a dog.
I want to rape Reinhard Heyrdich

True Ending is a fan service ending that exists just to reach maximum chuuni, the only good part of it is the Nazi bar scene after the Throne battle.

For EOPs courtesy of Zack:
Masada already has a relationship chart for all new characters introduced in Pantheon seiyuus can use as reference. It's looking pretty crazy. He'd like to show the chart to audiences but it's spoilers, so he can't yet

So, I ran an excerpt from Dies Irae through a prose analyzer and this is the result. How does it make you feel?

So is loli Marie meant to be a sensory that went wrong and came out younger or is she meant to be like their daughter or something?

>>20395101
>that went wrong and came out younger
Sensories are people, that's their entire point. They have to be born and grow up. There's nothing wrong with her.

>>20395101
Sensories start out like regular humans, Karl references his mothers womb on many occasions. It's not until later they awaken to their nature as Sensories and get chuuni god powers.

>>20395070
Like the prose analyzer is retarded. Dan Brown's issue is that he claims his bullshit is in any way based on reality, even the stuff he clearly made up.
Masada doesn't pretend or try to claim he's telling a true story. He just goes for what sounds and is cool to him.
Not like I read Dies looking for high literature that'll get me accepted in literary expert circles.
I just want to read cool chuuni stuff and Dies provided perfectly for me

https://gaming.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_longest_video_game_scripts
Where does DI fit in here? I feel like it has to be there. It's a lot longer than Tsukihime at least and on par with Fate.

>>20395421
From what I remember it's pretty much the same script size as Fate give or take a few hundred lines.
The English translation however is wordier than the original so it may seem like it's longer than Fate though.

>>20395070
I have just put a part of my shitty novel I wrote during my school years (actually that "part" was the only part of the "novel", since I never went back to it, or to writing) into the same analyzer and, lo and behold, I am a Dan Brown too. What does it mean?
a) I write like Masada
b) people in charge of DI translation write like a 15yo retard with no talent

>>20395594
or maybe the site is trash
But yes in any non English book/VN/vidya, the original prose and style will be lost after translation.
DI did a good job at least in preserving the story. Not the best prose but its one of the better translated VNs.

>>20395594
Sadly, it's not like there's a lot of good VN translators. Are there better people than the Dies team? Maybe some (I'm an EOP pleb, so I can't confidently say so)
But there's definitely also a lot of worse people they could've gotten.
Can you imagine if Light took the easy way out and got some chinks to MTL from japanese to English like what happened to Fortissimo?
And there's no need to go to MTLs to get worse
Just look at Danganronpa, or S;G0 and Chaos;Child
In the end, as a filthy EOP pleb I am happy with what we got and know that I should learn nip to get the real experience and not rely on translations when most of them will never be ideal.

Talking about translations:
Their very nature makes it hard for that particular problem to be well criticized by most people
If you need a translation, it's because you don't know the original language. Which means you'll have no idea if something was translated wrong unless they go full engrish like MTLs.
If you know the original language, you'll probably consume the original, and if you care about translations, you need to go out of your way to compare to know just exactly where the translation fucked up as obviously you don't have the original text in the translation.
So, the people who'll be in a position to make decent criticisms against translations won't be many.
Even less in an already niche medium few people consume like VNs

>>20395101
Shirou's a sensory and he clearly grew up normally

>>20396938
I wouldn't compare observers and a god's sensory, honestly. There's just too much we don't know about the former.

Shirou being observer's sensory means he can replace Naraka right? Does that mean he will be more powerful than Ren? Also if Shirou is the apoptosis of Ren, but Merc made him, does that mean Naraka was controlling Merc all along?

>>20398037
>Shirou being observer's sensory means he can replace Naraka right?
Why would you think so?
>does that mean Naraka was controlling Merc all along?
Why would you think so?

Imagine there being two employers who happened to hire the same freelancer for their personal projects. That's basically what happened with Shirou.

Ahhh... Marguerite...

>>20398917

>>20395107
>>20395110
Fuck I honestly forgot because I was thinking about Hirume. Does that mean Rindou is literally her mother?
Plus if she was naturally born doesn't that mean that Pantheon is like 15 years after KKK?

>>20399344
>literally called her "Mother" and Habaki "Father" in the prologue
Maybe.

>>20399353
That's why I said "literally", I've only ever seen people say they consider her their daughter because they created Amaterasu, not that she actually is.
Plus I was under the impression that Pantheon was only a short amount of time after KKK.

Only time you can expect news is this Christmas, that's where I'd put my money on.

>>20399754
They should just show us the OP

>>20399344
We can't be sure how time works in Takamagahara. We also can't be sure Habaki and Rindou had a baby immediately after becoming gods. If they did, we'd have probably seen her back in Kajiri's epilogue.

>>20400122
>when theres a 5+ year time skip but the art stays the exact same
hate this desu

>>20400128
>expecting gods to age

>>20401066
Ren does look older as Yato, but that's probably more as a result of him going nuclear, rather than the passing of time.

>>20401161
We don't even know what Ren looks like with the whole Tenma distortion angle. but then again even eleonore was scared

So I just finished Dies Irae, please confirm some things for me
>Merc tells Reinhard that to destroy foreknowledge they will create the castle, fill it with souls, wait until the universe resets, absorb the souls in the new universe and repeat until the universe explodes due to having so many souls on the same place and a new universe can be born
>Reinhard somehow wasn't bored with the ide of spending 60 years doing nothing except looking smug in the castle, and was okay with the plan of spending billions of years doing nothing for some reason
>the route you play is canonically chosen by Merc when he plans what to try in the next universe
>first two routes eventually end like the Rea route normal end where Rein fucks Merc up and Merc starts creating the new universe but this time Marie doesn't show up
>Mercs endgame is the Marie ending all along
Also, why was lending his body to Trifa even needed?
Is it ever stated in other material what a world emanated by Reinhard would be like?
If foreknowledge is a thing how could Merc have been surprisised by Trifa and Marie doing stuff?

>>20401249
>Merc tells Reinhard that to destroy foreknowledge they will create the castle...
Yeah but Snek is a dick and never really wanted Reinhard to succeed
>spending billions of years doing nothing for some reason
Not his choice, he doesn't know about the resets, he doesn't even find out merc is god until Rea/Marie
>first two routes eventually end like the Rea route normal end where Rein fucks Merc up
Not really, but they were reset.
>Mercs endgame is the Marie ending all along
Yup
>Also, why was lending his body to Trifa even needed?
Trifa represents Citrinitas in the academical magnum opus, similar to how senpai brings the castle over, Trifa acts as the conduit to bring Reinhard over to the real world.
>Is it ever stated in other material what a world emanated by Reinhard would be like?
Check the pastebins, one of the anons translated an expert from KKK which described his mandala and how his universe would work.
https://pastebin.com/BYaJcyem
>If foreknowledge is a thing how could Merc have been surprisised by Trifa and Marie doing stuff?
Foreknowledge isn't omniscience.

>>20401202
Why was she scared of him anyway? Wasn't she a Tenma too at some point?

Why would Marie's ending be Merc's plan all along? Cause he wanted Ren and Rein to create a singularity and Rein to perish so Marie can emanate her world?
But you can tell at the end of Rea's first ending he tells Rein to come and finish him up cause he really wants to die.
I thought Merc's plan was for him to die and Marie getting the throne, not just Marie getting the throne?
Also the Merc in Marie's ending is not a god anymore right? but he still has some powers like being a shade that teleport to anywhere on earth and not getting killed cause he has a physical body right?

Also Marie is on the throne for 24,000 years right?
Since Yato mentions that they have been protecting the remnants of fifth heaven for 8,000 years.

>>20401415
He wants to die, yes. But he doesn't mind being alive in Marie's world because Marie's law replaced his, so he's at least free of foreknowledge and the boredom it brings

>>20401465
But he has no powers in Marie's ending and just lives as the shade sensory?

>>20401415
Snek is a whore. Pic related.

>>20401470
He's still a god. One of the futures of Marie's law is that it allows for the coexistence of multiple hadou gods without them having to kill each other off for terriotry. You've got Ren, Snek and a sleeping beast.

>>20401480
So they are just gods that won't emanate their cravings but still can use their capabilities in combat like their fight against Hajun?
Also do Eleanore, Beatrice, Kei and Rei and all the LDO members get their memories back through endless reincarnation?
One last question. How did Hajun appear, was he a sleeping god like Marie that realized his potential through himself?

>>20401501
>So they are just gods that won't emanate their cravings but still can use their capabilities in combat like their fight against Hajun?
Pretty much, but in KKK Hajun immediately killed marie and fucked up the coexistence between them.
>Also do Eleanore, Beatrice, Kei and Rei and all the LDO members get their memories back through endless reincarnation?
Not during the 5th heaven no, but during the 6th heaven yes.
>How did Hajun appear, was he a sleeping god like Marie that realised his potential through himself?
Jashuumon made him go through sokushinbutsu in order for him to become a god, during the process he was left in a 6 layer mausoleum and when Marie tried to embrace him, he confused it for whatever was touching him his birth defect and killed her immediately.

>>20401519
thanks bro
I also found this site which explains all the heavens and thrones its really good for EOPtard like me

>>20401461
https://www10.atwiki.jp/god14/pages/621.html
Anima Entelecheia lasted less than 10'000 years, then Hajun destroyed it and created his Tengu Dou who lasted around 8'000 years.

>>20401519
>immediately killed marie
Pretty sure he didn't. He only destroyed the aspect of her rule that allowed gods to coexist. After all, he did decide to fight other gods, making coexistence impossible.

>>20401553
Man, how many VS wiki clones are there?

>>20402041
Should have said lashed out, but yeah.

What exactly is Kamungara?
Is it the form of the god with its full powers during a battle?

>>20402143
They're stands.

>>20402143
Their emanation/universe shaped into a Stand. If you've watched the anime the giant skellies the commanders had were pretty much that.

You know what?
I'll say it.
Samiel's mech looked cool as fuck when it appeared at the hospital.

>>20402194
Still can't beat Machina breaking through space-time. But yeah, I like them more than most, too. My only regret is that Machina's kamunagura is nothing like Ootake's.

I don't understand how Merc became a god and how foreknowledge became his craving.
So he was once a mortal (sleeping god) who had an intense desire for knowledge so he emanated a world where everything was known to him. Afterwards he found himself on the throne and wants to get rid of foreknowledge but in each timeline he eventually clashes with Reinhard and both die and the moment of his death he doesn't acknowledge the outcome cause he doesn't die in embrace of Marie so resets everything with a bit of tuning each time.
But all these timelines are experienced by his sensory but he is confusing his feelings with the feelings of his sensory meaning all the timelines are in parallel according to his real self sitting on the throne.

But what I don't get is that everyone says he became a god the moment he is killed by Reinhard because he wants to repeat everything to get his desired outcome while at the same emanating his law of foreknowledge in that moment.
Its all confusing to me pls explain

>>20402314
>>>20389840

>>20402314
Merc does not care about causality, he's all about making as little sense as possible. He got the Throne because he became a god, and he became a god because he got the Throne.

>>20387971
Because the guy is clearly a masochist and is deriving extreme pleasure from being treated as wall. It's not rocket science my dude.

>>20402212
Different era perception? In Rea route it was a red clock, a Naga for Yato then a blue clock post-KKK.

>While everything is resetting, Mercurius is able to change the next timeline in whatever way he likes (Such as erasing any factors leading to Hajun’s rise after the events of Marie’s route) and this power even allows him to bring back the Throne itself (a place where no form of time exists) after it is destroyed (ex. his fight against Reinhard) and those whose entire existences were wiped out completely with no chance of recovery (as this was able to bring back Ren, Reinhard, and Marie after they died and won fighting against Hajun), albeit the butterfly effect that his changes produce is out of his control. All abilities described below are mere side-effects of his Law.

Does this mean that Merc actually created one more timeline before his eventual death by Hajun where Hajun won't be born and Marie's rein in Rea's ending could potentially be longer?

>>20402395
Naraka still does Naraka things, this time without being everything being put in jeopardy by that faggot Hajun.

>>20402314
>meaning all the timelines are in parallel according to his real self sitting on the throne

You see, foreknowledge is never actual foresight. It is the sense that everything you do/sense already happened before, because Merc's craving created a massively paradoxical law/universe.

Merc hasn't ever actually seen X event, but he feels exactly like he does because as the Throne god who's craving is to know, it is impossible for Merc to not already know X event because X event is part of the world he emanates.

In this sense, even the idea of parallel timelines become paradoxical. By all rights, other timelines can only exist when Merc takes action to create it via looping so they have to be sequential... but they must also be parallel because they all should be already known because of his Law. Massive paradox everywhere.

>But what I don't get is that everyone says he became a god the moment he is killed by Reinhard because he wants to repeat everything to get his desired outcome while at the same emanating his law of foreknowledge in that moment.

Imagine that Merc starts again at the exact same moment he originally became a Throne God after being killed. He basically just starts from the 'Start Game' screen again, fresh after booting Satanael chronologically, but he's already lived that exact same moment countless times.

>>20402378
I still don't get it

>>20401161
are there any edits of yato with white skin and blue hair?

>>20404627

Saltman's design is growing on me. Is Paradise Lost translated yet?

>>20404818

Methinks that Throne Ren =/= Yato

Yato actually has his nichijou

Can someone tell me where his pic is from and post the full pic? I didn't see it in DI. I have seen the pic where its Ren, Rea and two protagonist from KKK hanging out.
Thanks

>>20405622
I suddenly want to photoshop Ren’s face onto Haruto & Rea’s face onto Asuka.

>>20405622
H-huh?
>I have seen the pic where its Ren, Rea and two protagonist from KKK hanging out.
>Can someone tell me where his pic is from and post the full pic?
That's literally where it's from.

>>20405653
I mean where is it from?
like which game?
ending of KKK or just a random art?
Could you post it please? thx

>>20405656
Epilogue of KKK.

>>20405674
So how does this happen?
I know red haired guy kills tenma yato (ren) and Hajun but his daughter I think becomes the god?
So this is the seventh heaven????? Does Ren have his memories? Does this confirm RenXRea?

>>20405695
>So how does this happen?
They beat Hajun and give birth the Amaterasu
>his daughter I think becomes the god
I suppose, but I think Hirume is just the sensory of the sakura tree.
>So this is the seventh heaven
Yeah, but it's only one aspect. Every previous heaven was brought back in the form of afterlifes, this is the 5th heavens afterlife.
>Does Ren have his memories?
In the epilogue? No iirc. Pantheon? Yeah he got dragged back into the throne shit.
>Does this confirm RenXRea?
They were getting married in the epilogue and they visited the school feeling nostalgic, however Ren noted that there was once someone more special to him but they passed away (marie). Either way they're back together in Pantheon prologue, and it's for the best.

I want to fuck Marie

>>20406068
*Marguerite

>>20405722
her head and neck looks like its too far to the left (our right)

>>20405722
>Every previous heaven was brought back in the form of afterlifes
I don't really understand this point? What does the normal world look like in the 7th heaven then?
They seem more like alternate worlds you can chose to reincarnate in rather than afterlives.

>>20406271
Well, you need to die 1st to get there, it ain't isekai as far as we know. It's for the souls to know peace and get whatever they're comfortable with, even being erased from existence.

>>20406395
They seem just like normal worlds according to that pic of Habaki and Ren + waifus, so it seems more like isekai.
You're also forgetting that like 80% of isekais involve dying first.

>>20406412
That was 5th Heaven afterlife for those who lived without rewards, we know shit about the others, only that Hisouten is a paradise for the good people, Daten Naraku is for the wretches, Eigo Kaiki is for the who didn't accomplished what they set out to do in their 1st life. You get erased on the spot if you don't know what you want.

＞＞You get erased on the spot if you don't know what you want
You get erased only if you don't want anything.
If you don't know what you want, Yato will personally speak with you and try to find Heaven most suit for you.

>>20406435
I know about how it works, my point was about how the Heavens seem more like isekais rather than afterlives. Do they even know they've died?

Is the Rein at the end of Rea's route where he clearly states that he has memories of the fight with Merc and Ren, is he still a Hadou god or just a mere mortal who happens to have the memories of himself in previous heaven?

>>20406892
Heaven here is Heaven (world), not Heaven (afterlife). They don't know that they are dead - it's more like reincarnation as in Marie's world, but you can reincarnate in imitation of any of previous Heavens.

>>20407143
Mortal, but based on what Snek said at the end of Marie's route, he's probably still capable of reaching divinity on his own.

Does Reinhard make people gay?

>>20407267
That's only because Merc in Marie route still wants to die by Marie's hand. He already has fulfilled his craving in Rea route so Reinhard isn't recieving any power from Merc as he's dead. Reinhard's divinity isn't something achieved on his own, it's because of hes Merc's apoptosis. Reinhard says it himself that he no longer feels any craving (Merc's craving of death) in Rea route.

>>20408381
Yes

>>20408900
I can't blame Eleonore for her fanaticism.

>>20407174
I know what heaven means in this situation, but it's "xth Heaven *Afterlife*, which is generally a term for something like heaven. Though your second sentence sums it up perfectly so nevermind, I still think isekai is a good way to explain it

>>20408722
>That's only because Merc in Marie route still wants to die by Marie's hand.
Does he? I thought he was content living in Maries heaven.

>>20409423
Snake still has a semblance of wishing to die by Marie's hand, his craving is just that weird so don't think to hard on it. Hes paradoxical by default, and the denial of it still sting him deep within as jealousy. Priest Reinhard in Marie's epilogue still feels twinklings of Merc's desire for death and the rise to divinity since Merc is still a God in Marie's world. In Rea epilogue Merc is no longer a god and has reincarnated as an actual quack magician instead that meets with Reinhard in his cell.

BEATRICE IS PURE!

>>20409789
*Pure slut

>>20409790
Delet this before I delet you

>>20409790
You're right. Eleonore is the purest girl in D.I.

>>20409819
True. She never did score.

So Lotus being from a family of executioners, does that mean his ancestors killed Marie the mortal?

>>20409823
Eleonore would become the oldest virgin in existence had Reinhard's plan come to fruition.

>>20409469
>an actual quack magician
>Krafft's health began to fail and he developed a persecution complex. He wrote to a senior official predicting that British bombs would very soon destroy the Propaganda ministry in Berlin (another true statement). The letter was passed on to the Gestapo who viewed it as treasonous. He was incarcerated in foul conditions, contracted typhus, and eventually died on 8 January 1945 en route to the Buchenwald concentration camp.
Something tells me this creep of a magician faked his death.

>>20409920
She probably masturbates using whatever the hell Reinhard touches or breathes on.

>>20409920
>Eleonore would become the oldest virgin in existence
Depending on his *actual* relationship with Mithra, that might in fact be Naraka.

>>20409819
What if she tried to rape reinhard?

>>20410015
Germans aren't capable of raping themselves, if that were true then Liza would've been out of business.

I don't even know how you can care about no other character than Kei while reading Dies. She's not nearly interesting enough

>>20412671
Kei is cute!

>>20412548
At least you have a friend into weeb stuff. All I have are normalfag coworkers who only know how to talk about 3DPD women and sports.

You never realize how frustating it is to not be able to talk about things you love until you can't anymore.

Tell him her ending doesn't matter and that she will NEVER be with Ren.

>>20413834
>snek so hellbent on getting cucked that he ruined a gorillion Kei and Kasumi endings

>>20412548
It worked the opposite for me. I got into it based solely on Kei and the weird Nazi stuff, but quickly found out she didn't matter and that I only wanted to talk about the chuuni shit. Same with Fate

>>20412548
As the other anon said, I was into it for the girls in the beginning like Marie, but it was the guys who were stuck in my mind with all the chuuni shit.
Is Dies Irae supposed to be some gay indoctrination shit?
It's working

>>20414268
Stupid sexy snake

>>20412726
I have like 3 or 4 weeb friends and I'd rather have none. Literally 0 of them are able to hold a decent conversation about it and the most I get to talk about stuff with them is "so (x) was cool" "yeah i liked it".
Not even looking for deep discussions about symbolism or shit, they can't even pick a character as their favourite or talk about any hype or emotional scenes.

>>20413834
I wish he cared but he literally has 0 interest, wouldn't even react.
Also Snek has a really long nose in that pic

>>20414250
>>20414268
It's weird because like I said he was in love with Reinhard in early DI when he was a hyped up figure, and he was excited for the chuuni space battles he'd heard about. It kinda all just disappeared without mention.
I have no idea how you can get through 3 routes without caring about Rein, Shirou, or Wilhelm, the only guy he cared about was Kai because epic kei meme

>>20412726
I've got a irl friend who I've tried to convince to read DI, but he's said he's not going to do it until he gets better at nip. Which is fair I suppose.

>>20415299
stop shitposting shirou

By the way of blogposting, having read Dies Irae in English, I decided to pick up interview with Kaziklu Bey. It was a fun read, but somewhat difficult and my head hurts now. I think I'll take take a short break and let all that chuuni vocabulary take root before picking up KKK.

>>20415299
Helga

>>20415299
He seems popular

>>20415299
Who doesn't?

>>20415398
Oh right. Forgot about the whore Helga who's a son-con, brother-con with a fetish for a killer-rapist-babyeater.

>>20415299
Me.

>>20415483

>>20415395
Yeah, you should have probably read Fortissimo first.
I'd still recommend it before KKK or Senshinkan

I'm actually curious, but wouldn't Shirou being an Observer be what causes his Deja Vu to spike so much? Since technically Naraka's got the same level of knowledge as Snek, so wouldn't that pass on to Shirou?

Ahh... Murder Princess...

>>20421656
I hope she's a loli

>>20421670
I kinda picture her like this, but a loli would be nice as well.

>>20421721
I would be okay with this too

>>20420417
I don't think he has Naraka's knowledge. But his déjà vu seems to indeed come from the fact he's the observer of the world of foreknowledge.

anyone have any idea how you would go about accessing the DI script? been using GAR as an extractor, but can't seem to be able to find the file with the script inside

>>20417082
>>20420281

>>20420367

>>20412548
Same here. I treated D.I like a galge and went for Kei because childhood friends deserve to get FUCKED in every way except the obvious one, Rea is a chestlet and Marie is ghost stuck in an inanimate object- or so I thought at first. I read her route and then dropped it only to pick it back up because the chuuni stuff was interesting and got stuck in my head. I still like Kei (I straight up skipped the romantic scenes for all the other girls) but the chuuni stuff was definitely more interesting. I also think that >>20414268 is right about the indoctrination because at this point I find snek to be as attractive as Kei and that's very OK.Those character designs definitely favor male characters over female ones. Kei comes out OK but I don't think that the style favours "soft" girls like Kasumi or Marie.

>>20422179
>childhood friends deserve to get FUCKED in every way except the obvious one

>>20422420
Is this incest?

>>20422420
Doting Onee-san type older women get a pass. I'm talking about the same age childhood friends.

>>20422179
>Is Dies Irae supposed to be some gay indoctrination shit?
Reminds me of that anon on /vn/ who went on a long rant about how Dies is actually liberal propaganda trying to disguise itself as right-wing; good times. Anyone still got the screencaps?

>>20423999
>>20424000
don't mind me just passing through

>>20424005
>disguise itself as right-wing
I truly can't believe that someone out there seriously believes this to be true.

>>20421834
That's what I was kinda going for. Since Naraka would know everything, his Observer would feel the effects pass on, albeit indirectly.

>>20424005
How is D.I political in any way? What a stupid idiot that guy is.

>>20425206
That's the thread where someone unironically claimed MG and other VN localization companies announcing otome, yuri and yaoi VNs was a conspiracy by the jews to promote the LGBT agenda or something, rather than because of sales.
/vn/ is also where people will act like an announcement of a non-moege VN is the worst betrayal ever and that means the company deserves to be boycotted
My point is /vn/ is full of retards. That's why I left the place

>>20424005
I'd fuck Ren.

>>20425508
Since Snek is clearly at least Bisexual, would Ren be bisexual as well?

>>20425206
They have nazis without the in-game option to rape them so the americans are unhappy.

>>20420417
>>20425064
If it has any effect on the Foreknowledge he's infected with, it's likely not in any way you're thinking of.

>>20425514
Only on the mahjong table.

>>20425064
Or maybe it's because he's Ren's apoptosis. Considering that Ren is pseudo-Merc, he would be assaulted by it the same way Reinhard is? It's also a possibility.

>>20425777
"He' refers to Shirou obviously.

>>20425777
>Considering that Ren is pseudo-Merc, he would be assaulted by it the same way Reinhard is? I
That's exactly it

>>20425777
Does this mean that Shirou also has wide hips?

>>20422420
...did she kill the other girl?

>>20426457
Protagonist dated the other girl temporarily during middle school. He broke up when he realized she was an enormously unstable yandere.

Anyone know if the latest GYusuke artbook is available anywhere?

>>20426521
Amazon, obviously. If you're talking about scans, I've seen some of them flying around, like this >>20402382 one, but dunno if it's fully scanned, or who scanned them.

>>20426557
Yeah I was talking about scans, though I actually forgot amazon existed so I might just get one. Thanks anon.

>>20426489
So almost the opposite of what I feared, then.

I wish Pantheon was out so I could actually play it. I stopped playing MOBAs and mobage and I finished most of my backlog so I need a time waster now.

At least January is packed with games.

>>20427965
>>20428012
G-Yuusuke has to be one of the most talented guys in the medium. You guys know anyone else that is close or on it's level, (visual novel wise I mean)?

>>20429326
GY's art is very easy to look at and cozy, but it's still very far away from being consistently good. Just look a bit up at that Einsatz cover pic with Ren and Shirou and notice how abominably long their waists are. Also take a quick look at that goofy CG of Goat-kyo strangling Kei. And that Michael one where its shows that his actual, mechanical jaw makes a 90 degree angle with his mouth on the surface, somehow. And compare all of Rusalka's CGs. Or that CG of Goat-kyo rising to the sky with a completely off-model face at the end of Marie's route. Or the end of Bakasumi's route where it looks like Trifa is three times taller than Rea.
GY's art certainly has improved greatly since his QUALITY-laden contributions to DI's, but it's still a far cry from being the work of an unparalleled genius.

>>20429490
KKK and Ikabey have near perfect art desu

>>20429490
Don't forget giant Ren at the end of Kasumi's route as well.

>>20430256
I think Claudia's neck is ridiculously long.

>>20430894
Even in coma, I must snek.

>>20430934
G-Yuusuke may be drawing good, but he does not know how to draw necks.
Never look at a neck of anything he drew, it will ruin the entire work.

Don't look at Marie's neck.

>>20431587
Fucking hell, now I can only see her neck, the fuck did you do to me?

>>20431587
>>20431608
I always fix my eyes upon her milkies, never looked at the neck.

>>20431608

>>20431836
Go look in a mirror and tell us if your neck is twice the length of your head.

>>20431587
He gets it right sometimes, but yeah, it's kinda off-putting; he would have been the perfect artist otherwise.

>>20431631
I'm sure G-Yuusuke does go into CLAMPish proportions a little, but doesn't that just look especially longer because of the flowery collar around her neck makes you mistake where her neck and shoulders actually connect at a glance ?

It's one of those things a creator might miss in construction that makes a disconnect with the viewer, like intersecting lines that make separate objects seem connected.

The neck isn't as long as you think, her collar thing covers up her shoulders making her neck look longer.
It's still long even then, but not as long as it looks.

>>20432268
Anon, mind telling me where you found all these high resolution pngs of the CGs?

>>20432466
I take screenshots, I cba to extract the cgs and piece them together

>>20432569
Ouch. Well, that's fair enough. I was hoping I'd somehow found the Holy Grail but no such luck. Does anyone here know how to rip anything out of Steam's Amantes Amentes release, or anything after the fact?

>>20432573
I'm pretty sure there are uploads with all DI CGs on sadpanda, probably in 720p but that'd be native, you can probably upscale it yourself.

癌
>>20436799
I don't see it.

>>20437667

>>20437667
>>20437750

>>20437750

>>20437750
I think you're trying too hard, third eye is a common thing in mysticism. Unless there is a line that references it, I haven't read KKK yet.

>>20438496
Steiner? Distant Valhalla? What's with all the S;G references in these pseudonyms?

>>20438526
He's a SciAdvfag.

Did it take Mercurius a few tries before he made the German LDO? Did Mercurius ever start LDOs in different countries?

>>20438513
Kinda, it's a progression of Wilhem's character and Keishirou heavily complements it from what I've been told.

>>20438551
Australian shitposter LDO when?

So Foreknowledge is NOT fortune telling, right? Mercurius doesn't actually know the future. He's just already familiar with all the sensations in existence so he feels as though he did everything he ever does. If that's the case, why is he so good at manipulation? There's a line about how people are always in the palm of his hand no matter how much he loosens the grip. I finished D.I and I'm still confused. Please explain Mercurius to this baka anon.

>>20439498
Merc knows everything, FOREKNOWLEDGE is just a symptom of this. Reinhard only has the symptom without the cause meaning it isn't useful but since merc is omnicient thanks to his craving being "I want to know everything" he is a very good manipulator. Or at least that's how I understand it from lurking, I'm a baka too.

>>20439498
Cosmologically, to Mercurius most of everyone else is practically the equivalent of what one skeleton is to Reinhard. You don't see those escaping from Reinhard by themselves now, do you ?

>>20439673
Ah, I guess that makes sense. The universe would bend a little to Mercurius' will to make things work even if he himself doesn't really know what exactly will happen.

I love the short animated clips from the Amantes Amantes OP. They remind me of an old OVA, I know it's a memeword but they have so much soul. I'd kill for an anime or even just an OP fully animated in this style.

>>20439769
Slightly better quality version

>>20439774
I like them too. They make it much easier to picture what's going on during fights because you know how the characters move.

>>20439774
I love how they all they're movement goes back to their own cgs, and how seamless it seems.

>>20440007
I fucking love the last second, where Reinhard twirls around into his Longinus CG.

>>20439673
...I don't get it.

>>20440872
Shinza, the Divine Throne, is everything. Literally. He is the universe. In case of Mercurius, he is the multiverse. An often used metaphor for the shinza world is that every soul is the cell of the single organism, and that organism is the Hadou god who holds the Throne.

>>20441056
I already know all of this.

But how does it affect his foreknowledge?

>>20438526
Steiner translated Distant Valhalla and was a small part of the original S;G translation team.

>>20441056
Does this mean that "I love all and everything" translates to "I love Karl"?

>>20441762
He loves Karl especially since he has yet to ravish him.

>>20438551
>Did Mercurius ever start LDOs in different countries?
There would be little point in an LDO-equivalent without Reinhard, so probably not.

>>20439681
Kinda and sort of, it's easier to put it that way. Masada set everything up that you can comprehend and put together the individual pieces that details Mercurius and Foreknowledge, but it all leads to paradoxes because that's what he's comprised of.

Honestly, he has an uncountable number of loops and time to level his mind games, and the speech about everything being predetermined is no joke. The people born under his rule are much like him, they gravitate to the choices that leave them craving yet never truly reaching what they sought. It might not apply to everyone, or perhaps it does but no one notices without sensing foreknowledge.

Who's better to know this than the parent god who spent all of his reign watching and manipulating the denizens of his universe in hopes that something interesting happens.

WATASHI WA SUBETE AISHITEIRU

>>20443669
Gen Urobuchi is a fucking sperg. That aside, the male Seiyuu sure did a great job. Reinhard sounds exactly like one would expect him to sound. Mercurius too. Shirou was pretty funny as well. Ren's seiyuu makes him sound like a self-righteous faggot but I guess that who he is. I wish I could say the same for the girls. Most of them were OK but not nearly as amazing as the men. Also, Marie's voice if far too high pitched. She sounds like some loli and not the busty youthful old hag that she is. She sounds like Kotori from Love Live.

>>20443727
I liked Ren's voice acting, it fits his character well. Also both Trifa and Ehrenburg had fantastic voice actors and should be worth mentioning, Spinne too for that matter.

>>20443756
Spinne-sama goes without saying. It was as campy as the character himself. it's been a while since I've seen any Spinneposting. Wilhelm and Trifa were great (as were all the men). I guess they didn't make as much of an impression because I didn't like the characters themselves as much as I liked snek and Reinhard. Wilhelm isn't all that interesting and Trifa is like a less-relatable Kirei. Dies Irae was very well done in general from a technical standpoint. There could be more CGs, and I don't think there's an option to delete saves in the game, which sucks (or maybe I'm just autistic) but overall there isn't much to complain about from a tech standpoint.

I'm sure you already know that they're voiced by the same guy, but it's still pretty funny.

>>20445117

>>20444045
Kirei, relatable? Really now?

>>20444572
Hey now,I remember seeing a /tmg/ thread on the catalog that lasted about 17-18 days, so we're not quite on that level of ded just yet. Still, some news would be nice to liven things up. Demo when?

I mean, just look at this lack of news. It's the obvious outcome of things.

>>20445345
>>20445775
Or just put together a project, building a good wiki or whatever. Communities can't live on the original products alone.

>>20443840
Kirei's characterization is that he's innately evil man who was raised as good (following the church's doctrine) and is psychologically crippled by the polarization. Gilgamesh's influence allows him to accept and indulge in his evil nature, but he'll never be truly happy and just wants to find an answer for why he was born that way.

These are not relatable characteristics, not by your every day human unless you're one twisted psychopath.

More importantly, this is nothing like Trifa, whose primary internal conflict was to escape weakness by cladding himself in the power of a man he reveres, despises and wishes to destroy despite perceiving him as omnipotent.

All they have going for them in common is "muh keikaku priest" (Kirei is barely this) and contradictory natures.

>>20446931
>the second strongest character
More like 5th or so. Lambda is even and Featherine's cats are her combat squad, that Bern thought could easily beat Battler after he suddenly kicked her ass.

>>20446585
Or that yes, I don't know, if you want keep the general alive there is a lot of solutions.
Many anons seem to have forgotten a lot of DI stuff, if you want to have threads organize a reread or something.

Just wait till Christmas
That's the only feasible time for any news
maybe even this hlc

A wiki would be a pretty good idea, but considering the majority of us is EOP, who would work on the KKK and beyond sections? At the same time though, I feel like we don't really need to go out of our way to keep the thread alive, it's not like we have to stop making these threads just because we're dead at the moment. If there's something on your mind, then just talk about it here, otherwise just bump the thread from time to time (like, thrice a day or something) and go do something else while we wait for news. Having a thread up for when something does happen is enough for now.
