Ohh, new version of Karma.

Why is Tsugumi breaking the glass?

oh wow

Shit. It's been years since I've played this game but when I see Lemu and the female cast while Karma plays...

ECKSBOCKS

>>7115682
You don't have doubles Tsugumi, stop pointing, you're not Christian Bale.

>Go to site
>Karma starts playing
>Now playing in my head
>Manually

FUCK.

But seriously, why 360?

I don't get it, Tsugumi has the old outfit in one cg on that site, are they going to have her have different outfits according to the PoV choice? It gives a hint the size of a house
>>7115745
Because can't pirate it

>>7115748
Honestly it makes more sense that way.

why is the art of Tsugumi so fucking warped?

>>7115754
Ever17 isn't supposed to make sense.

new CG

>>7115798
>new

Is this like a remake or something, or just a port of the original Ever17?

>>7115806
i mean,outfit

I think we might get a translation,

>>7115823
remake

>>7115832
I mean if they brought over 999, I cant see whats stopping them from doing it with ever 17.

>>7115845
because it doesn't have any game elements so no one in the west will buy it?

>360

why do everyone keep making VNs for 360? no one in Japan owns one

>>7115845
999 was for a hand held.

The western world just isn't ready for VNs on consoles yet.

>>7115748
>It gives a hint the size of a house

No one who hasn't already been spoiled is going to figure it out. It's too insane for most people to even consider it.

It's just going to be like the Sara/Coco thing again and make people start thinking about alternate universes.

>>7115870
The 360 is the otaku console of this generation.

>>7115870
>no one in Japan owns one

It's the 'otaku console' of this generation, like the PS2 used to be.

Sony doesn't usually allow games without gameplay on their system, as well.

>>7115870
Japan's otakus DO own...

>>7115870
thats the hardcore system in japan, only nerds use it. plus its easier to make visual novels and 2d games on it. sony are becoming hipster shit.

>>7115884
>plus its possible to make visual novels and 2d games on it

>>7115873
please everybody in America knows all about anime and there products, most gamers anyway. its not like back then when everybody thought dbz was made in America.

xbox? That's a shame. How I'm going to enjoy mai immortal waifu like this?

>>7115889
I said its its easier, the 360 is like a basic computer.

>>7115899
just buy one, the old ones now are like 100 dollars

>>7115902
So is every console.

>>7115875
There are a handful of people who have figured out that twist from the first four routes, actually.

Though most people don't, this will be a nice little extra hint.

>>7115902
You don't understand.
Sony literally doesn't allow 2D games on the PS3.

>>7115748
360 is extremely easy to pirate for.

>>7115938
What are you talking about? PS3 already has VNs, just not as many as 360.

>>7115953
You're thinking of the PS2.

>dat new Karma

Seriously. I like it.

>>7115865
Fuck you, I'll buy it, and I don't even own a 360

New version of Karma is great too

What the fuck is White Album doing on there?

>>7115875
I read You Tanaka path first then Tsugumi Komachi and pretty much figured out 95% of what was going on. Sora and Sara path just confirmed everything.

IT's a pretty low wuality mp3 but I guess there's no helping it as our only source is the website. Thanks!

looks like something drawn by Ryukishi

No, seriously, they're lying to seem internet cool. The game doesn't hint at time travel at all until Coco's route.

>>7115921

While I can accept that you might SUSPECT that something of that nature is going on, but it'll just be one theory in a long line of them until you get to see Kid-34's true face.

>>7115995

See, like this guy. All the hints in You's path are ridiculously vague, and there's no way he figured it out in only two routes.

>I figured out Ever17 guys! +10 EPEEN

>>7116163
I literally followed someone's topic on it where he figured it out. And he's not the kind of guy who would go out of his way to look up spoilers just to look badass, he was trying to enjoy the game.

And that was without the English version translation error that blatantly tells you that Kid's routes take place in 2034 and Takeshi's routes take place in 2017

Well, even without that blatant spoiler, the 'hint' they make involves European Vs. Japanese dates, and someone from the west is much more likely to catch on to that than someone who grow up in Japan playing it, so you'll probably figure that out regardless of what version you're playing if you're a western player. And once you know that, you're on your way to figuring out a lot.

Though he never figured out that the game would bring in what is essentially the player to solve everything. I don't think anyone would.

It's

>>7116197
>And that was without the English version translation error that blatantly tells you that-

so that was a translation error? so what did she say in the Japanese version then?

>>7116214

Are they actually changing the story at all?

It would be a shame for them to touch such a classic. Still one of the best VNs in my opinion.

Tsugimi is a slut by the way.

>>7116197
What's so special about European Vs?

Are they intrinsically superior to Japanese Ｖs?

Yah "V" is better than "Ｖ"

>>7116226
Oh wow.

>>7116226
This just makes it seem almost impossible to think anything about the passage of time.

>>7116234
There will be "New additions to the scenario and ending(s)."

Oh, the site update says they'll be speeding up the story's development, rewriting it in a way that fans would agree with.
One new ending.
And the voices are all newly recorded.

>>7116516
" thats how I figured out the time jump. also in You's route they know about the Tief Blau virus and talk about how it broke out years ago. Then in Tsugumi route the "same" people have never heard of Tief Blau virus but a outbreak is happening right then.... "

>The game doesn't hint at time travel at all until Coco's route.

Yes it does.

I remember that in the orange haired girl route she says the date is 2034. the kid then goes to takeshi and he says it 2017.

>>7116672
That's the translation error mentioned it
>>7116226

>>7116197
>English version translation error

I actually thought that the whole game took place in 2034, and not just one perspective.

Because seriously, that's damn silly. You'd have to have some familiarity with other stories that pull POV tricks like that to figure it out.

I guess I also paid way too much attention to the person count, which, in addition to You's explanation of the Third Eye, tricked me into thinking some kind of alternate reality situation was going on.

>>7116648

Ah, I think I know what's going on. It's because of the order he played the routes in.

Never do what he did. Always play both the Kid routes before even touching a Takeshi route, as it preserves a lot of the initial confusion and makes HIMMEL and Coco out to be this huge mystery when they really aren't if you've played Takeshi's routes beforehand.

>>7116592
>And the voices are all newly recorded.

I hope that Hoshi can tone it down for once. He won't, but I can dream.

>>7116847
Gyah hah hah hah hah, gyah hah hah

>new voices
Has Hiroko Kasahara even done anything lately?

>>7116844
I don't know, I disagree with the route order you like. Instead of Coco being the mystery at first, Sara becomes this strange figure that disappears after the beginning. Also, saving Sara for last saves one of the best reveals in the first four routes for last, and it leaves you familiar with the important things for Coco's route (sort of like doing Torta's route last before Al Fine in Symphonic Rain).

>>7116163

>No, seriously, they're lying to seem internet cool. The game doesn't hint at time travel at all until Coco's route.

Pillars, the hide and go seek event, >>7116226

>>7117429
Oh god, I can hear it in my head.

But who kicked the can? no seriously it freaked the shit out of me the first time, when i was playing it at like 2 am.

can somebody explain who the fuck Blick Winkel is? is he an alien? what does he look like and how is he "looking down" on the cast?

Also remember when Takeshi was cursing and drinking beer and getting drunk, i think that was never explianed.

I accidentally read a spoiler before I played the game but I sort of misunderstood it so I was still suprised by how it actually turned out.

even knowing that there was a time element I don't see how anyone could have guessed that the kid routes were a planned simulation of the takeshi routes

also I did the routes in the order that the portraits show up in the save menu and think it worked pretty well.

>>7117702
he was an extradimensional perspective observing the events of the story, ie the reader

>>7117714
I figured he was mad that the plan didn't seem to be working

that Karma rendition

Honestly the date mistranslation is probably the biggest hint really. Looking back at the diagram I had put together while reading E17, I had gotten a sizable portion of what was going on down. But without that bit, I can't really say how much I would've figured out, as I can't remember which order I read the route in, so I'm not sure if the dates lead to me reaching the conclusions I did.

How are never 7, remember 11 and ever 17 related? is there some huge crazy connection? like, is Blick Winkel in never 7 and remember 11?

>>7117775
Never7 + Ever17: Shigezo Morino and cloning
Ever17 + Remember11: Leiblich and n-th dimensional order beings

>>7117775
The main link is the Cure virus, though there are other connections. For example, the doctor that cloned You is Dr. Shigezo Morino, the father of Kurumi/Izumi in Never7. Also, I believe Leiblich shows up in 12Riven and possibly the other games.

Bear in mind that I haven't played Remember11 yet, so...

You, Sara, Cocoro(R11), and Yuyu(12R) all attended Kyumeikan.

>>7115873
I think it might work, if it was sold over live for $20 or so. But it's questionable if they'd make any profit like that.

>>7117830
Sorry but who is Leiblich again? and whst is the n-th dimensional order? is never 7 as deep as ever 17? since i guess it starts all this shit.

Infinity chronology from the PSP Remember11 port.
It confirms some of the questions, like Yuni's role, the identity of alpha, Hotori and Inubushi, the contents of the terabyte disk, and the airplane ticket.

>>7117429
>>7117638

Fuck Hoshi, seriously. He's good when he wants to be good (Kara no Kyoukai), but at all other times he's beyond intolerable.

>>7117597

You figure out things too quickly this way, though. Takeshi's routes explain events in the Kid routes.

>>7117714

I think that was to show the odd behavioral differences between Kaburaki, who is an asshole, and Takeshi, who is a good person.

>>7118581

Man, all this stuff would have been nice if it was, you know, in the actual fucking game.

Dat new version of karma ;_;
Fuck 360, I hope some this gets ported to pc like it should be.
My first ending was tsugumi/sora bad end, was trying to get tsugumi, Tief blau rocks.

I like cancer and aids more than Tief Blau

Great, now Sara is going to sound ten years older.

Why couldn't they have changed Coco's design? It's fucking eye raping and nobody would wear shit like that in real life.

Trying to change her to Senjougahara eh?

Fuck you, Hoshi is awesome.

>>7119262
Her skirt emphasizes her chickness, and the bell ribbon accessory is a must. And I love her hair.

Waifu post.

>>7119219

I prefer her previous character design too. However, her new outfit looks more fashionable. The previous one looks like she stole it from some old woman.

>>7119743
She probably did.

>>7119261

Hey now, Kana Ueda can still sound like a teenager. She just never plays those kind of roles anymore.

>>7119792
Tsugumi was working as a seamstress when she was on the lam. She probably sewed it herself.

Oh god I will be able to hear more of Hiroko Kasahara's delicious voice.
