So does this set the standard for VN storytelling? I personally have yet to find anything that compares.

>> No.4950293

No. Even if you look at just the translated stuff there are better ones out there.

Pretty much.

But it's no use comparing it to other VNs. Saya no Uta may have done a lot of things differently but it's towered by other VNs in the story department

Saya is pretty good but it feels rushed. Short and there's dropped plot points that it seemed at one point, they were going to lead to somewhere, but never did.

>> No.4950561

in terms of story telling, it may seem exciting the first few times you play a decent VN (like ever17, saya no uta etc) but after that you get to see it's not really that varied.
since the aim of it is to be somewhat visual, the usual approach is direct, you see what's directly in front of you, get shit tons of description of it, get to see the MC's monologue, and sometimes you change your POV but that's about it. complicated storytelling techniques are not really present nor preferred.

>> No.4950585

Ever17 sets the standard for VN storytelling.
Not because of how good it is, but by how much it relies on being a VN.
It wouldn't work as well if it were in another medium.
But Saya on the other hand is doing fine in comic book format.

Clannad rehashes the exact same retard moe archetypes that Key uses in every game, the art suffers from AM I KAWAII UGUU syndrome and the story is nothing to write home about. Not saying it's terrible, but I don't think it deserves all the praise it gets.

>> No.4951987

>>4951929
You're criticisms are so vague that I'm not sure if you even read it at all. Either way you haven't read Clannad until you've read After Story. Though you've already proven yourself to have bad taste so you probably wouldn't be able to appreciate it anyways.

Right, after playing a game for 20 odd hours and not liking it I should keep playing something I don't enjoy. That makes total sense. You must have absolutely nothing better to do with yourself if you seriously believe that shit. I sampled enough of the game to know what rest would be like, mundane shit. Out of 9 or so routes I played I only consider 2 of them not a completely waste of my time.
