Recommend me VNs that have footjobs as an important plot element. I already played Muramasa and Dies.

Does this VN take place in an 'island'?

The 3rd op track was so damn perfectly fitting for this fight

>skype
Damn, that's some ancient tech. The original is from 2012 and the remake is 2018 so I guess it checks out

>>46070045
Here it's still extremely common to see people using skype even though zoom started to take its place after lockdown

>>46070045
I had a meeting on skype last week

>>46070045
You can just think of it as the predecessor to Teams. If microsoft didn't pivot to that, it would still be as dominant now as it was then.

>>46070045
Ah the nostalgia. なつかしいなぁ… I remember the sound it made for incoming calls. Now we got soulless discord.

>>46070045
So unfortunate that game gets to a point where battles last an hour, are exhausting as fuck as mistakes aren't very tolerated, and cutscenes become short as fuck with little happening in between battles..

>>46070045
I still remember some prank calls I made with friends, good times

>>46070045
I was stilll using skype around 2014, is not that old...

>>46070344
lol

>>46070344
gramps, i got some bad news for you

>>46070284
Yeah, at first the large-scale battles are pretty fun, but after a while the fatigue starts to set in and now I take a break every few turns.
I like the story and characters though, especially Yui. I can fix her.

as if they still had the balls or the creativity to make a soulful parody when their last kusoge was a vtumor shill piece. this shit will be as generic as it can be

And that's the main scenario is done
This was a really fun ride
First of all, the music is so fucking amazing, not only the fight tracks are extremely cool, but even most of the everyday bgms are so good that for the majority of your playthrough you keep listening to the kami music, the Satomi theme is definitely my favorite
I can't believe that this composer is some literal noname with barely any track record, the dude definitely going to bring some insane bangers in the future
The presentation is really cool, the art does feel rough here and there but it's still a huge improvement over Ouka, the voice acting is a top-tier
The majority of the characters are very likable, there are really a lot of great side chars
Shino, Kobungo, and Daikaku are definitely the ones who shined the most, i enjoyed pretty much every moment they were on the screen
The pacing was very consistent from start to finish which has both upsides and downsides
It really felt like you were just watching some anime and not reading an eroge, there are very few lows or highs, i rarely felt bored but i didn't feel particularly emotionally involved either up until the last fights when it finally started to get really hot, it's safe to say that my enjoyment graph would be a straight line for the most part
There were barely any fillers that actually showed just how much they are important for any story, the lack of sol scenes or any romance altogether made the emotional impact from a lot of the events very lacking
The amount of unnecessary deaths that come out of nowhere is definitely my biggest complaint about this game, most of the time they feel so forced that the best emotion you get out of them is a facepalm
The writer still has a long way to go, but i just can't help but feel respect for his dedication
First he went ahead and made his own Gyakuten saiban, and now he literally just went ahead and wrote a whole continuation of some old ass classical novel knowing that 99% of his target audience wouldn't give a shit about it, you can really tell just how much enthusiasm he put into trying to recreate it as close to the original as possible without putting any of the usual eroge tropes in it
The fact that writers like that can still exist in this day and age and are getting funded for their passion makes you realize that nothing is lost just yet

>>46071585
I liked most of the music but I don't think it was all that amazing, only a handful of them are still recallable in my head and my favourite one didn't get used very often.
I loved the 3rd OP and the ED though.
>most of the time they feel so forced that the best emotion you get out of them is a facepalm
Felt that same with this one. Didn't help that you could see them coming really easily.

>>46071585
so the question is, do you need to be familiar with the original 八犬伝?

>>46071645
they outright give you a summary of it

>>46071645
They give you the summary but i feel that reading the wiki summary somewhere during the middle of the story has enhanced my interest towards it a lot, there are a lot of interesting details that aren't explained in the game that well

>>46071640
I feel like most of my favorite tracks were playing for the majority of the game and the annoying ones were played very rarely which is pretty rare in itself

Real talk, like, when is the last time a good visual novel even came out?
There was the 2009-2012 golden era then good VNs became slimmer pickings than sugar-free food in an American grocery store. Rance 10 in 2018 was basically the dying gasp of the entire medium and it never recovered from that point on (if you like Dohna Dohna you should know lobotomy victims are not welcome in intellectual discourse, so just run along). Sure, there's some glimmers of quality that pop up now and again... Imouto to Kanojo for example has a modicum of soul to it, and Qruppo is at least one new face with promise. But overall, it's like looking at a shambling corpse. Mega-hyped games like Sakura no Toki come out to essentially no fanfare and everyone forgets them in a matter of months if not *weeks.* It's all just clones of clones of clones in the modern era where simply having dicks and boobs on screen is not enough to enrapture an audience. The most skilled authors left to write for gacha or just quit, with barely a fraction of the old guard continuing to make games - and those who do tend to be forced into making cucked 5-10 hour long all-ages games because those make marginally more profit with the massive chinese audience that dwarfs US and JP sales combined.

What is even the point in playing VNs in 2024 unless you're an EOP still feasting on the corpses of decade-old games like a vulture? It's just bad, bad, bad. Nothing to look forward to. Nowhere to look but back. Meanwhile WEGs and Japanese HRPGs are flourishing with culture-shaking megahits coming out on a biyearly basis. The grass is so much greener literally everywhere else; it's like VNs are a cemetery of death surrounded by a thriving city. And so I repeat: when is the last time a good visual novel even came out? What is there even to look forward to?

It would take me decades to read existing VNs I have an interest in.

i'm glad the cartel is dead and nobody is playing eroge anymore. eroge should be gatekept more.

>>46071900

>>46072250
>As long real life keep getting worse
For you I guess

>>46071585
Pretty much what I thought too, beside that I wasn't much of a fan of Shino's route, since the plot was making her life a mess rather than her doing something herself. And I do feel like there are some loose ends, or at least it needed a bit more, like with the Tojo boss who you see only in chapter 2 then you never see him again, or the deal with the unlucky guy being from the cult too
>The fact that writers like that can still exist in this day and age and are getting funded for their passion makes you realize that nothing is lost just yet
Well, their post about being harassed and closing down eroge activity won't help them.

>no man to lust after and try to win over him by catching his stomach first
No

>>46072139
Same can be said for the opposite. Read some moege written by women and they felt like they guessed what male protags would say and think, resulting in something that feels fake at worst or strangely effeminate MC.

I guess wht I want to say is: a man can never write from the perspective of a woman and a woman can never write from the perspective of a man. In both cases the writers will just emulate other works instead of drawing from personal experience and desires.

>>46072346
Almost all moege have effeminate MCs

>>46072354
better than cuck like plotge mc.

>>46072346
There are moege written by women??? For example?

>>46072354
Read one written by a woman and you'll see what I mean.

>>46072284
Her pair's synergy was the weakest one i feel but i still loved her as a character so much, she's basically 武士の鏡
The pic scene did hit so hard considering how much she was forced to change her views through the story
>post about being harassed
Well it was made by a company account so there is no info about who or how was harassed, i'm just going to hope that the writer will continue to work for something even if they will end up abandoning the ero part

>>46072346
>Moege
>written by women
Impossible, women always like male MCs who are somewhat abusive towards them and threaten them over petty shit

>>46072365
SakuSaku or Umi to Yuki no Cyan Blue come to mind. Currently I'm reading the latter and it's very apparent that the writer is a woman. In fact I suspected it's a woman at first, while reading the first route and only then I looked it up on VNDB. In other words, you can almost always notice it.

I guess that's the best we will get from her in a Biman, since she doesn't voice any main heroine in nukige

Did anyone read this one? I've read 11eyes by the same developer many many years ago and Inhave fond memories, so I thought I'd check out some other eroge by Lass.

>>46074662

Exactly, it's creating a false world where a strong woman isn't someone who's actually a woman, it's just a version of a violent man who hates men.

I posting this on normie platforms and then telling eops to not engage with masada eroge cause masada is a problematic misogynistic piece of shit. For the sake of gatekeeping.

Dear エロゲスレ,

I’mriddled with shame. JOP shame. This isn’t helpful to me or to anyone,especially EOPs. I feel like there is no “me” outside of myJOP elitist plotcuck moebuta erogamer identity. I feel like my literal existence hurts people, like I’m always taking up space that should belong to someone else.

Iconsider myself an ally. I research proper etiquette, read translations and translator blogs, talk about VNs in a way that will not harm EOPs, translators and other vulnerable people. I engage in conversations about privilege with other erogamers. I take courses that will further educate me. I buy translated eroge on steam. Yet I fear that nothing is enough. Part of my fear comesfrom the fact that privilege is invisible to itself. What if I’m doing or saying insensitive things without realizing it?

Anotherpart of it is that I’m currently immersed in the JOPest environmentI’ve ever been in. I know who I am, but I realize howpeople perceive me and this perception feels unfair.

Idon’t talk about my feelings because it’s hard to justify doing sowhile EOPs are dying due to systemic elitism and making thisconversation about me would be again centering JOPness. Yet bottlingit up makes me feel an existential anger that I have a hard time channeling since I don’t know my place. Instead of harnessing my privilege for greater good, I’m curled up in a ball of shame. How can Ibe more than my heritage?

So much this Subasister! They are the same... And the first world is what matters, and our great society that creates so much beauty and great art... We need to influence VN to be more Western-friendly and more Cal-arts friendly.

>>46074764
I mean we should treat them as equal on principle and shouldn't force patriarchal expectations

>>46074793
So much this... They ARE the same and best suited for the same jobs and have the same ways of thinking. It's all just in the perception, bro. You can be a woman if you want. You can be a man if you want. The truth is? There is no truth!

>>46074792
>And the first world is what matters
Yeah lmao do you really think third world street shitters matter?

I strive for equality and for representation in VN. These old white male enabling authors need to be deplatformed! We need more representation! We need to have more valid translations of works to subtly influence the Japanese into accepting our, correct, democratic and free Ideals.

>>46074802
This... We need more HRT and more acceptance in VN and other media to make them more representative of our struggles as fellow Subasisters. Only our ideals can achieve this. VN are outdated and need to conform to the current way of thinking. I support Mangagamer, I support artistic translation!

>>46074793
>shouldn't
So much this Subasister! There is no ought, there is no truth... But still... They should.

So much great art is coming from our way of thinking as Enlightened Westerners. And the Japanese ignore it?! Just look at Netflix, look at Doki Doki Literature club. These works of Art could only be created by a society as enlightened as ours.

>>46074811
Nukitashi 2 says trans rights!
Take that, chud!

>>46074820
So much this. It's my favorite philosophy after Subahibi and I feel so valid reading it! More VN need to adapt to our way. Even their art style needs to change to be more accepting, but that will come in due time.

>>46074819

>>46074803
>more valid translations of works to subtly influence the Japanese into accepting our, correct, democratic and free Ideals.
This is what is happening with localisers and EOPs. I wonder how many years there's left for VN.

Is it wrong of me to think that, based on what I've seen of the game, it's pretty good but also very much a game made in 2009 by a presumably middle-class cis-het Japanese guy?

>>46074836
It's not good! Don't call it that! It doesn't show the equality between males and females! The main character is literally a racist and sexist!
The writer was an extremist who learned martial arts to hurt other people!

>>46074836
Isn't that the VN where the protagonist says communism doesn't work because of human nature in ichijou route? Fucking burn it. Nazi shit.

>>46074836
We need to cancel this.

>>46074836
>literal nazi uniform
Yeah Narahara thought I wouldn't notice?

Imagine being so insecure about your taste in VNs that you immediately spam the thread with unhinged rants about trannies/niggers/whatever the moment someone criticizes them.

Who else got triggered by this when reading Dies irae? They have the bad armband like Hitler. And I found out a character is literally named after a Nazi.

>>46074836
I remember him helping a woman in this game. So bigoted. I almost quit it the moment that happened.

once a fucking gain i must ask of this thread
what are you reading and what are your thoughts on it
instead of this absolute fucking drivel

>>46074864
I finished the new historical ninja / princess rape tsurumiku nukige.
It's not great. I like this expression one of the heroines makes but that's about it.

>>46074877
that is unfortunate but also that's a pretty good expression
where did it fuck up, in your opinion?

>>46074880
This is a weird complaint to make about a rapege - especially a tsrumiku rapege - but it was too rapey. The VN sets itself up as raping girls into submission, but it's mostly rape and very little submission, and the submission is still mostly rape.
Maybe it's more to do with my specific fetishes than the quality of the VN.

>>46074892
nah that's fair, wouldn't be the first thing i've seen that went too hard on the fetish
there's a balance to it that only the true masters know how to walk

>>46074864
Lately I've been reading Akai Ito. It's really nice and cozy going through the massive in-game encyclopedia. It reminds me that I guess I'm sexist deep down, because if the useless retard MC was a man I would probably be infuriated playing it, but since it's a girl I find those aspects pretty cute. Actually, she's probably basically an otomege MC, honestly. Anyways, it's enjoyable, but lord do I wish they would fix the bug where the music just cuts off instead of fading out on scene change.

Finished Kasumi route in Dies Irae yesterday. It was okay and probably the weakest route in Dies Irae because Reinhard and his imperial guard didn't come out. There are some moments that I like in this route like Shiro fighting with Bei it's very cool, especially at the end of the battle where Shiro impales Bei with a cross and the second one is priest as Rea父親代わりsaying taboo things to her.

Interesting.
I can understand his point.
Though Mahou Shoujo (or at least what I imagine it is, I have watched very little of it) is kind of a good execution of battling girls.
They are fundamentally weak and fragile, their offense and defense is proxied by a third party, "magic".
It's abstracted.

Because instead of aiming to be something great, it follows the westoid creative philosophy of trying to be overly novel and "original", and instead of trying to be good escapism, it follows the westoid procedure of "realism".

Open source, so it doesn't constantly nag you to buy it, and has a lower chance of spying on you or doing other malicious things.
You may have lost "like an hour" like that, but you will ultimately save countless hours NOT clicking on the close button on the "BUY WINRAR" popup.

>Because instead of aiming to be something great, it follows the westoid creative philosophy of trying to be overly novel and "original", and instead of trying to be good escapism, it follows the westoid procedure of "realism".
This is the most retarded thing I've read all week.

>>46076812
This, so much this Umisister! We need more Japanese works which do not follow bigoted VN traditions and align with Western values, like Umineko and Subahibi and Imokano, so we can MTL them and talk about them on Reddot!

it's up.

>>46076845
You haven't read any of those VNs you just mentioned.

>>46076794
>it follows the westoid creative philosophy of trying to be overly novel and "original"
This is a realisation I came to recently as well. People chase after mechanistic "originality" and contrived "novelty", not realising that the soul of the story is what matters instead of being "realistic" twitter trauma dump tier musings about their internal state.

>>46076865
i don't doubt he could have read subahibi and umineko since they're big with eops, but yeah these days i basically skip any posts that mention subahibi, anyone who isn't a newfaggot eop already played and talked about it many years ago and it's just shitposting fuel now

>>46076766
...yeah, like 5 posts about it. The point is the discussion is slowly dying out just like sakutoki
And if we are rating eroge by the amount of discussion then tenshi souzou is also a kamige since that gets discussed here more frequently than most other eroge

>>46076865
YOU have not read them, bigoted JOPedo, because you only access stale knowledge instead of actively trying to understand the Western-minded author's TRUE intentions... even though truth doesn't exist.

Can you recommend any of those VNs for consoles that are based on anime shows?

I'm reading through Ghost Hound DS right now because it's one of my favorite anime, but it's really just exactly the story as shown in the TV series (minus voice acting).
Are they all like this?

>>46077356
Often they're some generic alternative story.

>>46077356
Oreimo is the only good one

>>46077356
https://vndb.org/v4696

>>46077375
>>46077398
Those are based on LNs, not anime, you dummies.

>>46077457
is it really based on the ln if it uses character designs and seiyuu from the anime adaptation?

This was some awkward h scene but at least i could finally self-insert

>>46077100

But he's right, the romance is shit. You can't convince me otherwise. Most people praise it for the proactive edgy protagonist and completely ignore how bad the romance in each route is. Fuck, most nukige I've read have better romance. So if you go in expecting a moege, you end up disappointed.

>>46077595
The Yoru ending was one of the most romantic shit i ever read, moeges seems to really deform people's perception of romance

>>46077606
How? There is basically no real romance in the route, no inner monologue about how much she means to him, no sweet couple sol moments. It's partially due to the edgelord MC, I get it, but even Grisaia had far superior romance with a similar MC.

>>46077356
The problem with those kind of VNs is that they are the equivalent of fanfiction and most of the time they aren't even written by the same writer

>>46076865
Stop giving these retard(s) attention, report and ignore.

>>46074910
>Akai Ito
I remember when I originally played this, there was one CG I had no idea how to get. I got every single fucking ending, but was missing one CG somehow. Searching around the internet didn't help. Maybe when I replay the remastered version, I'll get it.

>>46069054

>yume miru kusuri

I-I haven't heard that name in years...

>>46077637
Sweet couple moments are good and all but they are not everything that romance can offer
This kind of cold romance that is not about some kind of deep sweet love but more about 寄り添う partner for whom at some point you just start to feel that it's not too bad to throw everything for is sweet on its own

>>46077736
I didn't get any semblance of romantic feelings from the main protagonist. Like he was cold towards ever girl other than Ran.

>>46077777
There is no way you are serious, he has been showing his dere part so many times that the gap was genuinely cute as fuck

>>46077727
>Maybe when I replay the remastered version
Never ever.

>>46077793
Again, to me his feelings of affection were a black box. The reason why I said that he only had feelings for Ran is because she was the only girl who occupied his sentimental inner monologue, he constantly thought about how much she meant to him. For the other girls I received no romantic vibes at all.

What is the current texthooking meta that will help me get better at Japanese? I use textractor and a textgrabber named nazeka which also has a mouseover dictionary, is there anything better?

>>46077849
Why Nazeka and not Yomichan? Genuine question.

>>46077836
Ran was basically a mother to him so his feelings for her didn't feel any romantic at all to me, it was mostly there to represent his loneliness
He is a genuine tsundere so he would never admit his love feelings to himself or monologue about it for hours, showing off cool is like the core of his personality
But he still showed them off enough through his actions so i guess tsundere mcs are just not for you

>>46077849
If learning Japanese is the #1 priority then draw the characters to look it up.
Drawing the characters to look up meanings helps you remember them better and also forces you to think more about if you really need to lookup something, cause looking up something by drawing is a pain in the ass.
Having an quick and easy to use dictionary makes it too easy to rely on it and doesn't force you to actually remember stuff as much

>>46077938
>yeah bro just waste more time not spent reading
At this point tell him to do Anki 3 hours a day.

>>46077938
You learn them in anki not by drawing it 1 time, it's not worth it to have to distract yourself from what you reading and possibly lose the emotional impact from the scene

>>46072057
Aokana extra 2 isn't moeshit, it's a sports story.

>>46078046
That's why EXTRA 2 sucks. EXTRA 1 was far superior. Why would I watch my least favorite heroine do some sports shit when I could go on dates with my cute loli girlfriend. Only faggots would prefer the former.

Well this episode was pretty cute but damn it was even shorter than in Ouka, the 2nd half was basically nothing but h scenes
Wish there was at least some mini-episode about solving some mystery or something

>>46077908
>He is a genuine tsundere so he would never admit his love feelings to himself or monologue about it for hours.

Sounds like an excuse for Niijima's incapability to write romance. Same shit with the routes he did for Summer Pockets. I swear, at this point I believe the guy has autism. No wonder he'd be the only idiot who would write an entire eroge, a moege no less, based on the MC being left by the main heroine for music, call it the true ending and then be surprised why moege fans break their disks and complain.

>>46074877

>>46078223

>>46078298
How many bitcoins did it still from you?

>>46078306
nta but yes they just don't remember the main characters, and it doesn't seems like they are going to rebuild a relationship or whatever, they are doing their own thing, which is travelling, for most of them

>>46078298
It's hookable now, which means it's pro-Japanese and has a built in antivirus deleting anything Chinese from your computer.

>>46077356
I've tried quite a few and most of them are pretty bad.
The best I've read is ロザリオとバンパイア　七夕のミス陽海学園. It's made by Capcom so the production value is really impressive. I would go as far as saying I prefer it to the anime it's based on. Even then it still isn't very good.
In general, the issue is that they don't stray far enough from the source material to be interesting for fans, but don't do a good enough job of introducing the story to be interesting for newcomers. In essence they're just cash grabs.
The rare few examples that do stray from the source material often have their own issues. I was really excited when I tried 少女革命ウテナ いつか革命される物語 and discovered how much freedom I had to change the story, but that excitement quickly turned to disappointment as I struggled against its unclear and frustrating systems. If I gave it another chance someday I'd have to look up a guide for it; it left me feeling completely lost.

The only anime adaptation I can truly recommend is the Yu-Gi-Oh Tag Force series.
They aren't really visual novels (you'll spend >90% of your time playing either dueling or redesigning your deck) but they have piles of unique and alternate stories, let you romance any character (pick a female partner if you aren't into BL), and make you feel like you're truly a part of the show's setting.
The games have numerous technical and design issues (especially Tag Force 1) but if you're willing to look past them they're a great experience.

>>46078306
The previous world was distorted (so they basically were living in a fake world all this time) so now they finally got back to the real world where the noroi never happened, but no one remembers them. The stories seem to be 2 hr long (if they all are the same) so it's worth checking them out, there is also Fusehime episode in the kansou mode (other tab) but it spoilers the rest of the episodes so i didn't read it yet)

>>46078341
>>46078349
oh it's pretty short. I will read it after I finish my current vn. Thanks

>>46078346
>ロザリオとバンパイア
Can you play it without watching the anime

>>46078413
You shouldn't be watching the anime in the first place. Read the manga.

>>46078346
Tag Force rules, nice taste anon. I'm glad I can play they in Japanese now, it's a travesty they gutted the voice acting in translation.

Are eroge really the go-to for right wingers?

>>46078346
How about the Horizon game https://vndb.org/v12776? I think I've seen it mentioned before.

>>46078483
Fortunately not anymore with the SubaHibi revolution!

>>46078495
If Kawakami actually wrote the scenario for it that's pretty cool, I like when writers work on their video game adaptations. Not a VN at all but that was the case with the Nanoha PSP games as well.

should i be savescumming level ups? got some really dogshit levels early on and it's giving me conniptions. playing on reajuu difficulty

game's great so far but the atmosphere and some character expressions are making me think this is gonna go full ryona/misery later
thought gaijin would be best but she's a shit
thought nanami would be shit but she's a best

>>46081308
One of the tutorials says level ups are fixed, so there's no savescumming stats.

>>46080596
Sorry to disappoint you mtlscum but I know a lot of people here who know or are studying japanese
Not everyone is mentally handicapped

The fact that Daikaku isn't flat is the biggest crime of this game

Again, it isn't great, but it is short, so maybe it could be a good palate cleanser between larger projects.

>>46078495
I've played a little of both it and the other, even more obscure Horizon PSP game that isn't on VNDB and I didn't really like either. Based on what I played it's an RPG first and foremost and I found the gameplay quite lacking.
I recently invested into a complete set of 終わりのクロニクル and if I end up enjoying that I'll probably give it another shot because the visuals are pretty impressive. (If any of you were wondering, the books look just as amazing in person as they do in pictures. Yes, they really are that fucking thick. 1000+ page "light" novels. It's hilarious.)

>>46078434
I'm bravely/foolishly attempting a mega-playthrough of the whole series right now. I'm still in TF1 at the moment.
I've just put together my first decent deck, it's The Creator turbo with Future Fusion and Cyber End Dragon to fill the graveyard with materials for Souls of Purity and Light. I'm quite proud of it. Cobbling together a powerful deck from a limited pool of cards is so satisfying.

>>46081621

Over the course of a week I bought just under a hundred books for ~$300 total. It was like Christmas times ten.
I personally prefer visual novels to light novels, but there's something really comforting about seeing shelf after shelf filled with cute girls and happy adventures, and knowing that even if I lose power or whatever they'll all still be right there with me.

That's not how it works. Current electronics are way too tiny to be affected by anything other than a very powerful gamma ray burst and that shit will sterilize biological creatures out of existence long before electronics.
Carrington Event might wipe only the electrical grid and in that case it will be fixed eventually so there is no need to panic about VNs.
