/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I'm resisting the urge to play it until the translators get off their ass and translate all the routes. With that said, I probably won't get to play the fandisk in this lifetime.

>>4878595
Nope, they said they wouldn't do them.
They may get to help with G-senjou.

Again, I want to drink her piss.

>>4878595
But the entire Houzuki route is translated... and it's awesome. You're just missing out on extra scenes with the original game girls and some shitty H-scenes.

>>4878622
I giggled when she mentioned some goverment dude being happy drinking her piss or whatever because I remembered your post :3

I sure hope the sequel will be good. It comes out in June or something. Shame I can't read runes and it'll take years to translate it or something stupid.

>>4878662
>sequel
when was this announced?

>>4878662
Well... it took 2 years till the translation of the original game, but maybe it just went unnoticed and no one ever bothered translating it for a while? I don't know.

>>4878691
I have no idea.
It's on VNDB as a sequel to Sharin no Kuni.
http://vndb.org/v3095

>>4878702
>Halo Town: Lavender Girl
[Circlular Object] [Civilization Tier]: [Flower] [Person]

>>4878623
If you liked the main game and the characters, it's really a shame missing the rest of the fandisc, believe me. I'm not saying that the Houzuki route isn't the best route of the fandisc, but the other ones are, well, more Sharin, and that's what you ask from a fandisk.

Also, Eri.

>>4878728
You blew my mind, man.

I totally always thought Sharin no Kuni was good rather than uninspired and unrealistic bullshit.

>>4878728
Themoreyouknow.jpg
I anticipate the sequel.
>>4878748
Eri? And yeahhhhh. I need to learn to read FUCKING RUNES.

>>4878751
>unrealistic

>>4878751
Something unrealistic, in MY fiction?

>>4878758
Use ATLAS, no regrets left.

>>4878775
What is ATLAS exactly? Is it some sort of machine translation? I get the feeling that it will be a fucking trainwreck to read like that... I mean as much as I love Sharin no Kuni, machine translation is fucking painful to read.

>>4878775

>ATLAS

shitsmirk.jpg

>>4878782
INSTANT machine translation, you don't have to copypaste text.
You get used to it, eventually...
You need AGTH too.

>>4878693
TNA translated the game in less than half a year, didn't he?
>>4878758
The sequel won't be written by Looseboy, thus it's entirely possible that it's going to be horrible.

>>4878808
Right... is it as bad as babelfish? Where stuff comes out completely broken and mangled so much that it's unreadable?

>playing games with ATLAS + AGTH

>>4878815
>TNA translated the game in less than half a year, didn't he?
I have no idea. The game came out 2007, was translated in 2009. I didn't know when the translation started.
>The sequel won't be written by Looseboy, thus it's entirely possible that it's going to be horrible.
I sure fucking hope not. It's a good concept, Obligations and shit.

>>4878817
>Broken
yes
>unreadable
just call it imaginative writing, you get the meaning.

Translation Aggregator was here.
ATLAS is a loser.

>>4878818
You should add "with no Japanese knowledge at all".

If you have, say, JPLT 2 level, it's just a tool which helps you translating some of the kanji instantly. Also, it's a way to improve doing something you enjoy.

>>4878842
>>4878848
I think I'll give that shit a pass then. I'll just move on to another delicious VN and fall in love with it all over again :3

>>4878849
>If you have, say, JPLT 2 level, it's just a tool which helps you translating some of the kanji instantly. Also, it's a way to improve doing something you enjoy.
Sounds coooooool. But apparently learning kanji is hard as fuck. Or something.

>>4878817

It's not as bad as babelfish, but you shouldn't rely completely on it. It's useful to grab some information quickly, which you fill in the blanks with the audio or other tools, like Translation Aggregator's JParser or a dictionary.

>>4878833
There's rumors that the writer is MajiKoi guy.

>>4878878
MajiKoy guy? Is he good :3? Knowing that there is a good writer behind the sequel will give me some more hope.

Learn basic Japanese grammar.
Use translation alligator to look up the words.
Try to make a sentence.
???
Profit.

>>4878887
So I can learn and read a VN at the same time! I need to do this some day when I can be bothered.

>>4878895
Wha..? Isn't this how other people in /jp/ learn Nip normally anyway?

>>4878925
I'm new to /jp/, I have no idea how people learn Japanese. I know no one buys that Rosetta Stone shit though. Or do they?

>>4878960
Rosetta Stone is for tourists who want to know tourist words.
/jp/ has no use for those.
お手洗いは何所ですか？

>>4878960

People actually spending money on what can be obtained for free? Makes you wonder.

>>4878864
It's really not that difficult at all. Just time consuming. Really gotta just keep at it and slowly chip away at them.

>>4879006
>お手洗いは何所ですか
BUT ITS GOT SO MANY STROKES. I don't see myself ever being able to understand fucking moon. It would take months of playing fucking visual novels.

>>4879006
/jp/ has no need for that sentence because /jp/ shits on the floor.

>>4879048
I lol'd. What does that sentence mean?

>>4879059
"Where is the bathroom?"

>>4879059
Where is the restroom?

>>4879066
Oh god, that's fucking hilarious. /jp/ shits on the floor. Oh lord.

>>4879059
With ATLAS is 'the bathroom is at what place?'

>>4879075
And THIS is why I do not want to use those tools to read visual novels. I'll just get these remaining 1600 kanji out of the way.

>>4879075
Wow. That's actually understandable. Shame it's still stupid sounding.

>>4879080
You do realize that these tools can theoretically replace having to know kanji, right? It's the grammar that you need to learn.

>>4879081
ATLAS is understandable (and if you aren't a native speaker, it's easier), ten minutes and you fix the sentences automatically.

>>4879094
Sure. But I want to learn japanese and be able to read it fluently.

>>4879111
Then quit being so lazy. Kanji isn't hard at all.

>>4879114
Only if you are visually oriented. If you're not, sucks to be you.

>>4879094
So you could translate a game, swap around the grammar and make it coherent, understandable and very similar to the original? Why the fuck do people even bother learning runes then...?

>>4879114
The fuck are you talking about? I'm
>>4879020

>>4879128
Because it can be a hassle, translates things awkwardly and sometimes doesn't make sense.

>>4878562
I hope you don't like the fandisc because of Mina. She's the shittiest character ever. The only redeeming part of the Houzuki route is Houzuki.

>>4879128
Because then you are the early days of Mangagamer.

>>4878728
Bad title is bad, oh wow.

>>4879156
ITS FUNNY BECAUSE PEOPLE BUY THAT SHIT, WHEN THE COMMUNITY TRANSLATES SHIT FOR FREE, AND ACTUALLY MANAGES TO NOT MAKE STUPID SPELLING AND GRAMMAR ERRORS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

>>4879169
Well, they're fine now I think. Kirakira was just fine, and I felt Edelweiss despite having derp spelling mistakes in need of editing was not as bad as people made it seem. I expect Deardrops to be great.

>>4879165
Yeah, because "Wheel Country: Sunflower Girl" is better.

>>4879190
Who gives a shit. The Japanese have an unusual thing where they can't make good names for any entertainment. Have some examples.

BLEACH. DRACULA X. SUNFLOWER GIRL.

>>4879206
Counter-example: ...I've got nothin'.

>>4879375
Oh. METAL GEAR SOLID. Another shitty name. SOLID SNAKE. Gay innuendos. Fucking Japan.

>>4879384
Oh, oh.

Baccano! is sort of good, right?

>>4879404
What is that, some sort of pasta?

>>4879206

Violent Semen Inferno.

How about that?

>>4879417
Well, it's an Italian word, so it's natural for it to have that feel.

>>4879419
Play! Play! Play!

>>4879419
Wait, what? That actually exists? Also I'm nearly finished with the fandisc, and I'm the OP. Why the fuck is the fandisc so much better than the original game? Even without knowing the original game story this is better. There has been more FUCK YEAH and FUCK NO moment, and this also made me cry, I was only close to crying on one of the bad endings of the original.

;__________;

The story of the FD is just great because it has been build up by the main game.
It's just a great ending to the whole story.
Sharin no Kuni as a whole is the best VN available in english.

>>4879449
WAIT. NOW I GET THE CREDITS WITH SHITTY MUSIC. FUCK YOU GAME. HOW DID HOUZUKI KILL HIGUCHI. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MINA. WHAT THE FUCK. THAT ISNT THE ENDING SURELY?

Yeah, Houzuki chapter is made good purely by what it contributes to the main game. Main game slaughters it, you be crazy.

>>4879190
It sounded somewhat unique the first time, but with this second title, you know they are just going to make this a pandering game.

>>4879462
>Sharin no Kuni as a whole is the best VN available in english.
I hate you.

>>4879462

>>4879462
I wouldn't say it's the best. I'm not sure. I've had plenty of crying moments in Ever17, and the biggest mind = blown parts. Sharin no Kuni has been fucking amazing though

>>4879469
But man, the villain was better, there were more 'FUCK, WE'RE GETTING BEATEN TO SHIT' and more 'FUCK YEAH, WE WIN' moments...

Oh right. A part after the ending telling you stuff. Fuck, but why isn't the bit of Houzuki killing Higuchi made into a part of the game rather than a shitty monologue by Houzuki...

>a shitty monologue by Houzuki.

Did you just call my favorite part in the whole chapter shitty

>>4879500
Yes. Fuck you. Why would you prefer a monologue over an actual VISUAL part of a VISUAL NOVEL. YOU FUCKNUGGET.

>>4879467
He shot him, you fool. They went over that in Sharin.

>>4879473
But, honestly, he's right, dude.

>>4879474
But, honestly, he's right, dude.

>>4879510
Because honestly the entire game before the final confrontation was boring and the majority of the final confrontation was just a rehash. And while the final stretch of the game with Mina writing on the wall was good, it was still mostly average stuff.

The monologue was old version Houzuki which is automatically enough to make it better than the main game

>>4879516
I know he shot him, but in the monologue he said Higuchi said sorry and shit. I wanted to see that in a visual novel format, not a monologue. I would totally BAWWWWWWW over that scene.
>>4879514
;.;

>>4879520
>And while the final stretch of the game with Mina writing on the wall was good, it was still mostly average stuff
>MOSTLY AVERAGE
>WAIFU BEING BEATEN UP
;.;
FUCK OFF. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND.

>>4879474
>>4879475
What do you think is the best then?
Seriously, I'm not trying to troll you but I played pretty much everything and nothing come close.
For example Ever17 had some great bricks but Sharin was far more solid and emotionally powerful.

Where's the dude with the shooped Eri pics when you need them.

WAIT. KEN IS GETTING MARRIED TO NATSUMI AS A CANON ENDING? GOD. WHAT FUCKWIT THOUGHT THAT ONE UP. NATSUMI WAS SHIT-TIER. SACHI AND TOUKA WERE FAR BETTER. ESPECIALLY TOUKA BECAUSE SHE WAS TSUN TSUN.

>>4879527
>Sharin was far more solid
My stool is pretty solid, too, you know.

>>4879528
What the fuck is Eri?

>>4879532
much like your posting

>>4879524
Mmmm, maybe if Mina wasn't such a bad character. She was almost impossible to care about which left me pretty detached from anything that was happening, since most of it revolved around her and all.


Also, Ever17 > Sharin. I'm a pretty big Sharin fag but come on I can't deny that

>>4879542
Ever 17 was too fucking long. Brilliant, but god it was filled with sandwich eating.

Mina was pretty shit as a character, I agree, but I can't help but feel really bad when a girl gets beaten up, then the protag cries like a bitch for her.

I honestly liked Mina a lot.

>>4879521
I know, I would have liked to read it like that as well. But meh.

>>4879554
Why? She was a fucking useless faggot. It was the same as Hinata giving a shit about Ken. There was NO reason behind it. They were just attached because he was the protagonist and a writer somehow couldn't come up with a reason for some animus to fall in love.

Yeah but, that's how love works for the most part

>>4879576
Yeah but fucking hell. Ken is a little spastic child that is just like 'HERP A DERP I GET BULLIED AND IM SOCIALLY RETARDED'

>>4879554
I guess the people who like/dislike Natsmi like/dislike Mina as well. They are both really hard to understand, but I loved them.

Wait. What the fuck. Okay, I got the shitty ending finally, but now what else can I do? No other scenario is open. I don't care if it's in runes...

>>4879551
>Ever 17 was too fucking long.
I interpret this as "people who like Sharin no Kuni don't have the attention span and intelligence to enjoy Ever17, much less proper literature."

>>4879596
You are a fucking retard, do you know that?

>>4879596
Derp. No. It was filled with filler shit. I want a good, engaging story. Not eating sandwiches.

Yes, he does.

>>4879585
That is popular with the ladies. It'll get you laid.
※ただしイケメンに限る

>>4879594
I like Natsumi and dislike Mina. Natsumi is cute when she's not emo(or when she's a loli). Mina's kind of always irritating.

>>4879595
The ending was the best part of the fandisk by a factor of 1000 X_X

Anyway, delete the patch and then you can select whatever.

>>4879620
I've already finished, Ever17, chucklefuck.

>>4879620
Please, don't start misusing quotes. Nothing good will come out of it.

>>4879623
I just deleted patch, it's in runes, but still no choice. What the shit? Is it only patch I have to delete? I'm sure I dragged 2 files.

>>4879627
Nothing good ever comes of telling fans of half-baked soap opera-level melodrama the truth about their half-baked soap opera-level melodrama.

>>4879635
Did you download the standalone? That cuts out the untranslated stuff. You need to get the full game

It's always funny when a raving retard start to go on and on about his shit opinion.

>>4879645
I removed yuku_patch and now it's fine. Thanks anyways.
I just zoomed through the fanservice in moonrunes, and it doesn't look all that interesting after all.

>>4879648
Sounds like the majority of /jp/ everyday!

OH GOD. YOU CAN HAVE GROUP SEX WITH SACHI AND MANA. WHAT A HORRIBLE FANSERVICE. MANA WAS A LITTLE SANDNIGGER ANNOYING CHARACTER. FUCKING DEVS.

>>4879667
OH GOD YOU CAN HAVE SEX WITH TOUKA'S MOTHER. I WANT TO LEARN RUNES JUST SO I CAN UNDERSTAND JUST HOW THE FUCK TOUKA IS OKAY WITH HER MOTHER BEING BANGED BY HER BOYFRIEND. DOHOHOHOHO.

>>4879667
>>4879674
You should become a tripfag so that I could filter you, seriously.

>>4879674
Too bad it's a dream, bro.

spoilers it's all a dream. spoilers

oops i marked my spoilers wrong

>>4879674
It's a dream.

>>4879680
I am a tripfag. I just don't use my trip because I know people who browse /v/ know me. One of my friends already thinks I'm into small boys.
>>4879683
>>4879682
>>4879681
Oh. Not really a dream, thanks for clearing that up. Now I won't have to learn runes.

>>4879691
Please tell me more about yourself.

>>4879696
Sounds sarcastic. Go climb a wall of dicks.

>>4879691
So, you don't hide the fact that you browse /v/, but you hide the fact you browse /jp/? Oh, the irony.

>>4879709
I hide the fact that I read visual novels. Video games are socially accepted, visual novels are not.

>>4879718
Who cares what's socially accepted? If your "friends" will think less of you for reading VNs, they're not worth shit anyway.

>>4879718
Posting obnoxious bullshit in all caps is socially acceptable now?

That's amazing.

>>4879735
My friend knows I once requested a /v/ stream for Boku no Pico and he's okay with that, it's just embarrassing.

So now this thread turned into the blog of some /v/ faggot.
Amazing.

>>4879742
That's to show my shock. I hate faggots like you. Apart from you, /jp/ has been nice on my first visit.

>>4879749
Yeah.

>>4879747
>Apart from you
And at least one other person in this thread.

Let's get this thread back on track.

>>4879153
You shut your whore mouth faggot.
Mina was a great character.
She fucking write on the wall to conceal the hidden hole and kept Ken alive.

Ririko > Mina > Brown girls > shit > rest of the sunflower girls > Natsumi

Don't worry, I know Houzuki will let Mina and Ken meet each other in the end. I WANT TO BELIEVE.

Before the patch, this scene used evil Houzuki laugh.
