/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I just "finished" Saya no Uta last night, but i don't think i got the best possible ending.

Was my first VN and i enjoyed it alot, i would like to try others, preferably some that won't keep me glued to the screen for 6 hours. Any suggestions for a newcomer?

>i would like to try others, preferably some that won't keep me glued to the screen for 6 hours
I think you're missing the point of a VN. They're not exactly a bite-sized entertainment form. Saya no Uta and Planetarian are about as short as VNs get.

>>8369849
> preferably some that won't keep me glued to the screen for 6 hours
If you're talking about short VNs, there's not much out there really.
It took me 6 hours to finish the first route on KS even though it has no voices.
Either way, vndb.org is your friend. Everything English translated is bound to be decent enough, and it has tags based on length, genre, content and whatnot.

Still playing Osadai, I'm slow.
Yukino is a pretty generic character, but god damn if the voice acting doesn't elevate her route to a quite enjoyable level.

Sitting on my ass waiting for Forest while reading Period (decent enough, not much more than romance school VN #17352 so far but I am enjoying it)

Does anyone know the name/website of the artist that littlewitch uses?

>>8369860

The point wasn't that i want them to be short, i just want to save and play a little bit every day for a long time, but that one was just hard to put down.

>>8369834
Rozen Vamp's remix is now playing in your head

>>8369887
Pick a slice of life or moege. Little Busters just got translated and it features quite a lot of slice of life, with drama concentrated at the ends of the routes. You would only get sucked in like SnU when you were finishing up a route.

That artwork looks amazing. Is there anyway I could get a link to Kajiri Kamui Kagura, please? I'm not really sure where to search for most VNs to tell the truth.

>>8369887
Most VNs are good because of how immersive they are, if a VN isn't imerssive it usually isn't good. I suggest reading Inganock, it is episodic enough and you can take chunks out of it at a time.

>>8369906
Disregard. Found a copy on TT.

next time whoever opens the new thread should remember to link the new one in the old one too

>>8369906
http://sukebei.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=67087

DO NOT PLAY THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY PLAYED THROUGH DIES IRAE. It goes Paradise Lost -> Dies Irae -> KKK, but Paradise Lost is sort of optional.

>>8369906
>>8369917
Sukebei nyaa has all new releases.
If you wantb to find some, go there. nihonomaru works fine for ddls. Usually has several mirros.

>>8369926
>>8369927
Okay. Thanks.

>>8369926
well, you can sort of play it anyways, but half the game is going to be incomprehensible or fly over your head if you do

I just downloaded Sharin no Kuni

Is it good?

>>8369963
It's good, but the third girl's route is boring as fuck. Also, the fan disk is excellent. There's a more complete translation floating around on mediafire than on TLWiki, so be sure to grab that. I think you can probably find it in /rs/

>>8369963
Why don't you play it and find out? Some people like it, some people are hipsters.

>>8369963
It is good enough, it has been under the magnifying glass for /jp/ long enough that people only complain about it but I am almost certain you will enjoy it. The story isn't perfect and the setting isn't well explained and some of the turns are retarded it is still enjoyable.

>>8369972

I'm about to head off to bed, so don't really have time to start it now.

Will begin in the morning.

>>8370002
2/10

i have recently played kawata shoujo(1rst vn that i played, ever).
does anyone knows any vn's that are good as ks?

>>8370007
and i aint even trolling.

I hope the next VN by Masada Takashi goes back to occidental mythos.
I like opera frangments a lot better than sutras.

in other news, white album dropped to second place in the filtered erogamescape
though I guess ports aren't really fair since they have a bigger fans:voters ratio than a first game release

>>8370011
In case you're trying to be sincere...

You just did the equivalent of going to /v/ and proclaiming yourself to be a hardcore grrrl gamer who plays Halo in MLG.

Try again.

>>8370025
>in other news, white album dropped to second place in the filtered erogamescape
Kusoge confirmed.

I don't get why anyone would try and troll these threads... Maybe I am the bad one for giving a shit.

>>8370026

Whoa, that must be, like, going to /r9k/ and saying you're a foreveralone female who hasn't had a boyfriend for 2 whole months.

>>8370025
>filtered erogamescape
Does it filter out the butthurt YUNO and MLA fags who vote 0 because they're upset because a new game is on top? Last I saw WA2 had a huge standard deviation and tons of spam 0 votes that were stopping it from having a 99 median.

>>8370017
It probably will, considering he twitted to Higashide about how his next project was really similar to his, and it has all kinds of christian-derived imagery in it
>>8370046
Basically, yes. It only takes into account people who have a certain amount of votes (like 30+), have a determinated average in their votes (to avoid people spamming only 0 or 100), have been registered to the site for more than one year and have been active in last months.

>>8370046
Yeah it filters them.
It also filters the new IDs created just to give it 100

>>8370026
forget what i posted then
just give me any good vn to start with

>>8370060
>>8370017
KKK was good but it was more of a tie-in to Dies Irae than anything.

I hope the next title will be more ambitious, especially considering Masada's writing got better with time.
Heck it's even apparent in Dies Irae when Kei and Rea's routes are quite a bit better written than the rest.

>>8370069

>>8370061

God, people suck so much that some dudes would actually be bothered to do that for e-recognition.

> i don't want to live on this planet anymore

>>8370084
thanks, i really appreciate it,

>>8370069
The most common starting VNs are Saya no Uta, Yume Miru Kusuri, Tsukihime, and F/SN. The latter two are very long, though.

>>8370084
Is it 2008 again?

>>8370076
Even mroe evident with the SoL parts of KKK, they were actually funny to read (helps it wasn't just generic japanese high school).
Parts like this were a lot ebtter than what you could find in DI, even if it was just dumb.

>>8370096
Shut up, just let him grab that and get out. Not like it has bad stuff.

Nagisa dies.

Currently reading FSN Heavens Feel and Sharnoth. Like both.
The next VNs I'll read are for sure: Muvluv Alternative and Remember11.
Looking forward to (translations): Higanbana, Forest, Fate/HA and Rance 8.

So where is the place to go for VN discussion nowadays?

>>8370272
Here?
Or just make a thread

>>8370272
make a twitter account
don't forget to follow thousands of eroge-related people so they'll follow you back, then unfollow them so you'll look like a very popular opinionist

>>8370330

but I just want to read in a more livelier place :(

I just finished the last route I had to do in Yume Miru Kusuri (Mizuki's) after avoiding it for over a year.

Other than that I've been on and off trying to play Communication with Sonico but I still read sooo slow. I keep having to tab out and look shit up while I'm playing, too.

Speaking of KKK, anyone got a link to the OST? Haven't read it yet since I didn't read Dies Irae, but I do appreciate a good Japanesque music.

>>8370395
it's getting released in three weeks, I don't think anyone ripped it either

>>8370395
Officially, the OST is released on the 26th.

>>8370403
>>8370418
Oh, okay, cool. The game rip would be fine, too, but I can wait.

Both RLSE loader and NTLEAC don't seem to work with Hatsuyuki Sakura's trial. I'm still getting that region block message. How depressing.

>>8370915
RLSE loader worked for me

>>8370002
Well, asking for a VN as good as KS is a hard question, because it's of such a level of quality. If I had to choose one VN as good as KS it would probably be this:
http://insani.org/omgwtfotl.html

The last thread sure went fast.

In the middle of KS trying to replace my real life with a scripted one.

I really wish I knew moon so I play and actually understand what's going on in Appare! Tenka Gomen

I loved Koihime Musou and pretty much anything that Baseson puts out i'm attracted to

Yumina, still the most badass character

So, just finished Tsukihime, I started last year and played Higurashi, Little Busters, Saya, Sharin no Kuni, G-Senjou, YMK, Monster Girl Quest, Wanko so far. Will start with Fate/Stay now. Anything else mandatory, popular or well discussed? Other than Umineko

>>8372368
I see, thanks. I'm kind of curious about CC though.

>>8372380
>taking trolls seriously.

Any programs or way to maximize a VN while keeping aspect ratio?

>>8372690
keep aspect ratio when fullscreen should be an option in your graphics card control panel

>>8372707
Oohh, that's handy

do eroge VN for those who can't into moon exist?

Just go to exhentai or some other porn site playing VNs for porn simply isn't worth it.

On a side note is forest part of the 'what a beautifully ___'' franchise or does it have nothing to do with them.

>>8373038
>Just go to exhentai or some other porn site playing VNs for porn simply isn't worth it.
What about nukige like MGQ?

>>8373038
>playing VNs for porn simply isn't worth it
Nukiges exist for a reason.
And no, it isn't part.

>>8373038
nothing to do with them, though the WAB writer admitted to the game being one of her inspirations (mostly the folklore/literature aspect)

>>8373046

Still not worth it. It's easier just to google vore and fap to that I don't even get why nukige are so popular fapping to other kinds of porn is way less of a hassle.

>>8373069
>I don't even get

Exactly

Whoever mentioned "Kurahime" in the last thread undoubtedly meant Kusarihime, and yes, it's a fantastic game. It's also complex, probably difficult to translate, and just plain weird in places. Nevertheless, I hope 2012 will see someone try to translate it.

>>8373069
The fapping experience is much better with nukige if you ask me.

Bump.

After WA2 I don't have the energy to start something long.
Anyone can recommend some VN not too long, also nothing too famous since I most likely already did them.

>>8376637
Went through the same thing, but I've settled on Natsuyume Nagisa for now. Finished the prologue and a bit and I have to say it promises to be quite good. Not sure how long it is, though.

Apart from that, you could check out Comyu or Legend Seven if you haven't played them, but they might be a bit too long.

I was hoping to go for some drama now. Has anyone around here readen France Shoujo? Is there any hope of it being translated?

>>8376661
I doubt there is anyone crazy enough to translate France Shoujo.
Not like it's good enough to warrant a translation

Finished Baldr Sky Dive 1. A bit disappointed with Chinatsu's route. They pretty much kept rehashing the same events from earlier routes until the very last chapters, which were much more interesting to read. I would hold the her route a bit above Rain's but still a far below Nanoha's.

Going to try out Katawa Shoujo next, then aiming for Baldr's normal/bad ends like you guys suggested a few threads ago. Though it feels stupid having to intentionally lose those piss easy boss battles.

So, don't you like Sharin no Kuni?

does anyone have any good rec for yuri VNs?
Or should I just go ask /u/? thanks

>>8376707

So, I just started playing this.

Is it ok to turn the voices off in VN's? They're pissing me off.

>>8376776
Katahane if you want translated

>>8376776
it either Aoishiro if you like horror stories and no porn, or the few translated Sono Hanabira for moe and sex

>>8376793
You may not missing much, but Houzuki's is worth it.

>>8369880
Oyari Ashito is the name. He has a blog at http://oyariashito.blogspot.com/ (which, surprisingly, has some English here and there)

>>8369975
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Not like any of them can measure up to oneechan.

>>8370084
Wind does not belong on that list. It is really quite terrible. IMO ef was even worse, although that has its share of fans.

>>8372368
Yeah, these: >>8372350
Also, the Infinity games (Ever17, Remember11, and the soon-to-be-released Never7).

>>8376776
http://vndb.org/g97?fil=tagspoil-2.tag_inc-97;m=2;o=a;s=title
Of those, I'd recommend Amaranto, Sapphism no Gensou, and Noel, although none of those are translated.

Euclid Panic (a.k.a. Yukkuri Panic): Escalation is a yuri nukige, though it does have its moments.

>>8376793
You're the one playing it; it's up to you.

However, I'd advise against it, as there are two god-tier seiyuu in this game (Houzuki's and Ririko's).

>>8376776
Sono Hanabira series were my first, nice entry for beginners.

>>8376887
Thanks a lot, there is something about his art that I really like. I know most of /jp/ doesn't like it with the distinct chin and protruding cheeks but I like the way he draws girls' figures. I am a flat chest enthusiast so my opinion may be warped.

>>8369834
souce please

>>8377374
read the thread

What's a good REAL DEAL VN like Kara no Shoujo?

>>8377616

I posted a bunch in the /a/ thread.

>>8373970
I remember requesting RT to do it but he declined. I want to read it so much, but learning moon to understand it will take too damn long.

>>8377616
Depends on which part of Kara no Shoujo was REAL DEAL for you. Can you elaborate?

And referring to the reply in the /a/ thread, if you're really going to read MLA you should make sure to finish the minimum required amount of MLE and MLU first, or the REAL DEAL won't be at as high a level as it otherwise would be.

bump

At what point can you say you've read a VN?
After you complete one route?
Or do you have to read all of it?

>>8379041
Charage/moege/nukige = Heroines that interest you
Scenario-ge = everything

>>8379067

Could anyone recommend any good horror VN?

I already played Saya

>>8379041
In most cases, yes. But it depends. Can you say you've read Clannad without reading After Story? Can you say you've read Baldr Sky having only read Rain's route?

If the game is just common route into character routes, then I say you can consider having read it after only reading one or two routes.

There's no absolute spot for any media. You don't need to watch every single episode of a show to be able to have a solid opinion on it, but by the same token, the more you watch, the more better supported your opinion will be. If you haven't formed any kind of opinion about a VN after even just an hour of reading it, then you have problems. Yeah, twists and development can modify things, but if the introduction sucks, there's a hell of a good chance the rest is going to suck too. Far from absolute, obviously, but good writing is good from start to finish.

>>8379168
Right, I would mostly agree. Which is why I get sad when people bully me for only reading a route or two of some VN they like.

If you've read only the intro then you can only judge the intro, not the whole thing.

>>8379110
So what do you think about coda in WA2?

>>8379702
The poster I replied to said "at what point can you say you've read a VN?" I'm pretty sure I never said I read WA2, only that I read a character's route.

>>8379446
The number of shitty games with shitty intros outnumber the number of good games with shitty intros by a factor of about 100.

Just finished Utawarerumono. Originally got it shortly after it got translated a few years ago but dropped it before you even get out of the starter village. Was bored this weekend and couldn't remember why I dropped it. Pretty much played straight through it and it was great the whole way, or at least until the end, sort of conflicted about that.

I'm reading muramasa and pretty much skipping through all the fights

Am I doing it wrong?

>>8380616
...

>>8380616
Naw. How could the same company that made Demonbane possibly have any fights that top that? Nothing else compares in scale, which is why I've abandoned shit that has fighting in it completely.

Finished the normal route of Swan Song a few hours ago. I enjoyed i. I kind of don't want to do the "good" ending because I think it ended fine and I would hate to see it ruined by some deus ex machina crap that forces a happy ending.

>>8380006
You probably dropped it because of those ridiculously stupid looking ear-wings, wouldn't blame you

>>8380706
ridiculously stupid looking ear-wings isn't in starting village though

Any vns that work with atlas really good?
Any body also got a link to Axanael?

Anyone here knows what Touhou is?

>>8380747
Please, get out.

>>8380753
Nope. You should go ask /ck/

>>8380747
Never mind found Axanael, would this game translate nicely?
http://visualnoveldai.com/db/hime-to-boin

>>8380747
VNs that work good with Atlas? Is there such a thing?

>>8380838
Well somebody said Axanael translated pretty good.

>>8380848
Axanael has quite a lot of slang, and Noko's hiragana-speak does not work well with Atlas. It is a good "my first Japanese VN", but it's read better without any translation tools (as is everything else, for that matter).

Guys, since I was out on vacations I still have these in my backlog: Canvas 2, Kotori Love Ex P, A Profile, Osadai. I'm looking for a laid back moege, what's your opinion on them?

>>8381061
So will atlas at least somewhat translate it decent than other vns?

>>8381158
I guess it will, but seriously, even having entry-level Japanese understanding from anime and such should be enough to understand Axanael. Most of the lines are voiced, for crying out loud.

I played and finished Sugar's Delight last night.
Cute, short story and good art. This is the kind of thing I'd like to see from non-japanese circles. This tops KS any day as being a VN originally written in English.

I'm warmly waiting for Neko-Soft's next game, Dragon Spirit.

>>8369975
>Also, the fan disk is excellent. There's a more complete translation floating around on mediafire than on TLWiki, so be sure to grab that.
oh, that's good to know. I've just got the last couple endings to clear before starting on the fandisk

I sure do like it when I download a game, and all signs, from the website to the first 30 minutes or so of the game point to it being a nukige and it turns out to not be a nukige, and rather a chara/moege.

I'm frustrated.

I appear to have lost the ability to enjoy ero scenes in non-nukige.
What the flying fuck is wrong with me.

>>8382867
That happened to me with Ikikoi. 100% ero sample CGs on their website what the fuck.

>>8382893
How horrifying.
Maybe you just need to take a break, or play a non-nukige with good lewd scenes?

kara no soujo
interesting story, cool setting, good characters..except for the protagonist who is a fucking idiot. Really, you'd expect far more from a 30-year old detective.

>>8382893
Actually it's always been like that for me too. If I read a VN for the plot, I always feel a little distracted by the ero, so if I want porn I always go for nukige. Nothing wrong with that.

>>8382893
I always skip h-scenes. Unless the vn is "suck my dick or die" or anything among these lines

If they can get away with this kind of censorship it's pretty obvious that nobody really gives a fuck.

>>8382893
Yea. I plain don't like them and prefer all ages versions when available.

I really do hate it when moege where I'm interested in multiple heroines do the "Every heroine has been in love with the MC for a long time" thing, and take moments to shove it in my face, and make me feel bad enough that I find myself unable to do any other routes after the first one.

>>8382893

I seldom enjoy ero scenes period. However, leaving them out is worse. Sex is an important part of a relationship and needs to be there, otherwise I can't respect the relationship of the characters.

萌えて死んだ。

>>8383455
there's a te too much in there

Thanks god for this thread. I'm looking for more HNNNG Visual Novels after Katawa Shoujo. I've already gone through Clannad, Kanon and Yume Miru Kusuri. Could anyone help a bro out?

>>8383474
「萌える」って動詞があるんだけど．．．

>>8383482
If you like Key, you should play Little Busters.

If you're looking for HNNNGGH, Wanko to Kurasou is basically nothing but cuteness and sex.

>>8383492
but everyone just says 萌え死んだ　and I've never seen it written like that

>>8383496
Thanks for the suggestions. Going through these two next. Any others? I'm Basically after any good romance VN's.

>>8383511
Muv-Luv Extra.
Shuffle.
Da Capo/ II
To Heart 2 is translated right? Try that.

>>8383524
You can't really have Muv-Luv Extra on there without throwing in the rest of the trilogy.

>>8383524
>that list
Are you trolling? Da Capo and Shuffle are the worst dog shits I've ever played.

>>8383504
Go to google and search "萌えて死んだ".Both are fine. The meaning is just slightly different.

>>8383549
They're fairly good entry level moege on about the same level of one of the titles he said he's enjoyed.

>>8383549
I really liked D.C., especially II.

>>8383615
With fairly good modifying entry level, not moege.

>>8383615
>on about the same level of one of the titles he said he's enjoyed.
I don't know which game you're talking about, but you shouldn't recommend utter shit just because someone likes something you don't.

YMK and Shuffle and Da Capo/II were all on about the same level to me. About the same enjoyment level as well.
If I were doing what you think, I'd be recommending Umineko for example as I title I think is beyond shit, because he enjoyed Kanon and Clannad, two titles which were absolutely not to my taste.

This guy >>8383511 here.
Many thanks for all the suggestions. Looks like I'm set for quite a while now!

>>8383455

Sumaga SP?

>>8383749
Yep. I started it when I finished Sumaga but I stopped halfway through. I'm gonna try to finish it here if I don't get sidetracked again.

I have some sort of VN-related ADHD. I have such a bad habit of starting games, playing half or so of it, then starting another one and getting absorbed in that. I'm actually partway through about 15 different VNs.

Played through one route of the PS1 version of Otogirisou. The game is short but there's so many choices. Looks like more get unlocked the second time through and I can ZAP to the heroine's perspective as well. The chart for this must look ridiculous.

Atmosphere in the game is really good, though the plot is stereotypical horror stuff. Lead characters are both too stupid to live but, well, it's a horror game so that's expected. Think I'll do a few more runs through and then decide whether to do everything or move on to Kamaitachi no Yoru.

Finished Tsukasa's route in Natsuyume Nagisa. That was weird and forced as fuck, could hardly bring myself to care about it at all. Are all the other side-routes going to be like this, because though I'm interested in the Maki and Ayumu routes I can't take much more of this.

So what's the general consensus on Noble Works?
I read it because I heard it was easy, but it was surprisingly entertaining.

>>8384156
It definetely was, incredibly cliched but with good execution.
Only read three routes but they were well done and even felt romantic.

>>8384156
General consensus is that it's pretty good.

>>8383931
It's the worst route by far.
Do Hitsuji's route

>>8380616 here

I just finished chapter three and I am buttfrustrated beyond imagination.

I don't even. I literally don't even.

My heroine died. It wasn't even a scene either. Just some fucking text--then WHOOPS bye bye.

They killed her because she had the most points right? Should I continue? My favorite character is dead. Should I restart? What's the point of following a different heroine with the knowledge she'll die to save another? That's not something Kageaki would know beforehand (or I don't know--fuck, maybe he does), and it completely breaks immersion to pursue a completely uninteresting girl just to KILL her.

The story's fine and all and I'm glad they're letting me continue but fuck me if I was KINDA EXPECTING SOMETHING from that stupid meter they kept flashing in my face. Now it has no meaning.

I'm frustrated and confused. Sorry if it sounds like I'm slowpoke talking about Coco's route. This is just...

>>8384615
...it has meaning, just not the meaning you were expecting - because apparently you didn't catch on to a good deal of foreshadowing about Kageaki's positive feelings = danger

>>8384615
you had three-four chapters to notice how the graph worked. And both heroines are good and should read their routes anyways, Muramasa isn't a game where you just play the routes you like, not completing it 100% is stupid.

>>8384615

Well, it's not much of a spoiler - you enter the route by getting too close to a girl (4 blocks). It took me a few tries before hand as well. The frustration is intended pertaining to the true route. Just hang in there - you will be handsomely rewarded.

eh just now starting Yume Miru Kusuri atm.. Looks good so far.. Anyone got any feedback on this VN? Is it any good?

>>8384772

Everyone will probably say "baby's first VN" and troll you, so just be ready for that.

Personally, I found it pretty enjoyable and a good introduction to romance VNs. I liked all of the routes in their own way.

It's accessible, the music is enjoyable, the characters work, and the story works. Enough for a start.

>>8384723
By "danger" I immediately thought "getting killed by one of the fifty hundred assholes introduced every chapter." And by the time that conversation happened, I'm pretty sure my meters were already fucked up beyond repair from chapter 2's early "Sure, call me Kageaki." which I know now translates to "Sure, I'll cut you eventually."

>>8384740
You'll have to forgive me if I failed to view Kanae in the same light as Shounen Wonderboy and the Two Elves. I didn't think she was invincible, but I didn't view her as another target for the regular chapter end where they take the most innocent puppy they can find and kick it to death I didn't even think Kageaki liked Yuuhi or the elves that much, so the connection was much less clear for me.

Dammit, not even a cunting scene...I thought she would at least say something...."hurr abdominal exercises so random" FUCK YOU Kageaki.

>>8384752
So I should continue? Fuck, that's a lot to ask. You don't see novels pulling this shit. If my favorite character dies, I lose my motivation. The logical opposite of plot armor, I suppose...

man this VN is balls...I just want to read about heroes dammit...

>8384780
Thanks for the info about it.. I just started and was curious if it was any good anyhow haha.. And idk why they would (but this IS 4chan so yeah..) cause i've played lots of VNs, just never this one yet.. lol. Wasn't really into "Romance" VN's till I played Saya no Uta and started checking others out..

>I just want to read about heroes dammit...

Did you somehow miss the game's tagline or something?

>>8384194
Well thank fuck for that. I wouldn't know what to say if that wasn't the worst. Was kinda expecting to enjoy Haruka's route the least though, so it was a bit of a shock.

Going for Hitsuji next.

>>8384615
Like the others have said, you should've had an inkling after the end of Chapter 1 and it was pretty damn obvious after Chapter 2.

But yeah, stick with it. Just out of curiosity, which one was it?

>>8384799

Well, you probably gathered that Kageaki is atypical - he isn't really pretending to be all nice nor evil, just as is. Saying anymore would be awful spoilers...

Perhaps it's time for another VN more to your flavour?

>>8384799
>I just want to read about heroes dammit...
Haha wow. How did you miss the "これは英雄の物語ではない"?

>>8384825
>>8384860
It's called verbal irony. Sorry that it was lost.

How about this: "I just want to read a story where I can bone Ootori Kanae"

>>8384845
But which VN has Kanae? Oh right, this one. Well, not anymore.

Fuck it, I'll continue. Is Chachamaru a heroine? Her lisp is the only thing that can cure my sphincter sorrow I'm uninstalling if she dies

Shit, I keep messing up the spoiler tags.

Yes, chachamaru has a route too, but gets short-changed, sadly. The Kanae route is great, imo.

>>8384903

Yes, chachamaru has a route too, but gets short-changed, sadly. The Kanae route is great, much better than Ichijou's, imo.

This was a little surreal, I'm still unsure what the deal was with Touka's "I'll murder you!"
Was it supposed to be Ririko saying it or something?

>>8386414
Sounds good.

Would you guys still consider Muramasa worth reading even with the use of shitty translator software? I want to read it so fucking badly, but I can't read Japanese for shit yet, and waiting for an official translation is killing me.

>>8386921
Haha wow, oh god. Don't bother. Just don't do it.

>>8386921
Don't bother coming to VN threads if you don't know Japanese. You'll be looked down upon. Secretly.

>>8386954
Secretly?

>>8386921
You simply won't be able to read it even with the software if you don't at least have some level of Japanese understanding. I don't speak Moon that well right now, but I played through Muramasa just fine with the help of some kanji dictionaries and stuff. Will certainly re-read it when I get better, though.

>>8384938
But Masamune > Kanae > Ichijou, so it's much harder to choose the better route.

>>8387000
Sorry, I meant to say blatantly.

>>8384938
>>8387016
It all boils down to whether you prefer Uzuki or the better paced route, really.

クックック･･････クハーッハッハッハッハッハッハ！！

>>8387016
Not that poster, but also interested in trying to machine translate another VN (KKK, possibly Dies Irie as well). Any idea if it'll end up readable, before I waste 6 hours or so finishing this download? I do know some basic japanese, but 90% of that is just kana and some basic phrases of shit from playing JP-Tera, wouldn't be able to really read anything in straight japanese. I've not used a machine translator before, so I'm not sure what to expect.
Thanks in advance, even if the response may be not what I'd hope for.

>>8387128
Just learn Japanese. Machine translations will never be good.

>>8387144
Already in the process of it, but takes time and Im looking for an outlet to enjoy myself temporarily - already read just about every other translated VN, hence the motivation to learn Japanese.

Any idea if there's a way to have the machine translate displayed against the original text? If I could do that, even if I don't understand a portion of the translation, I can look up the meaning of the original text, and slowly practice my japanese while reading it as I go.

http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php/94395-Translation-Aggregator-v0-4-9

>>8387187
Thank you. I should be able to make do with this on my own from here.

>>8387165
If you're going to do that, at least don't do it with something that's hard to read in the first place.

>>8387200
So the Japanese in KKK is considered advanced? I hate putting it off, but I might have to put it to the side and look at easier VNs beforehand, til I know Japanese well enough, I guess. Thanks anyways.

>>8387202
the writer of dies irae and kkk is somewhat hard to read because it embellishes his sentences a lot. I had a bit of trouble adjusting to his style of narration at first, I can't imagine how it would be with machine translations.
And considering how you should really read DI before KKK and it's fucking long, it's not something you'd want to play as a beginniner for sure.

>>8383018
Requesting for source.

>>8387211
thanks for the advice. Ill shelf it til later this year, I suppose. I already know of a few other VNs that should be much easier to read and learn from as I go.

>>8369834
Where are the characters in the op from?

>>8387246
Kajiri Kamui Kagura.

>>8387246
Its the VN we were literally just talking about (translating). Kajiri Kamui Kagura, or KKK for short. Its untranslated, and you should play its sequel Dies Irie before playing it. All of this was discussed already, I didn't feel like being a prick and answering with "search the thread" or whatever, but now I feel bad for spoonfeeding you. Oh well.

>>8387260
>sequel
meant prequel/alternative whatever.

>>8387211
Do you mean just hard/obscure kanji or stuff like intentional grammatical errors? The former is no problem at all, it's the latter that fucks up machine translators.

>F+Ctrl for To Heart 2
>found one search

Sweet! I recently got it since they released a partially translated english patch. I've been waiting about 6 years to play this game! I'm so excited, I play while I'm in bed going to sleep.

Feels good man that I've come a long way and this far.

Starting out Flyable Heart. Been wondering if there are any further plans to translate this beyond that god awful machine translated garbage.

>>8387258
>>8387260
Thank you.

>>8387260
I read the first few posts and realised it wasn't this VN you were discussing, but I suppose I should have looked for it a little longer.

>>8387302
Even correct grammar fucks up machine translators.

>>8387302
>>8387361
You wanna know what fucks up machine translations? Double ellipses. At least in Atlas, sentences that are divided by double ellipses are considered to be a single sentence, which turns the phrase into a jumbled mess. You may think that double ellipses are not that easy to find in VNs, but SubaHibi uses them even more often than simple periods.

>>8387302
It's not really hard kanji the problem, though it's by no means a simple style. It's how he describes thing in an abstract manner and with lots of metaphors and all that.
I had no problem "reading" the literal sentence itself, but I had to stop and think about what the writer wanted to say quite often at first, if that makes any sense. Of course it's not like I'm a japanese _expert so that might be part of the problem but I can see it only being worse with machine translation

>>8383018

Personally, I have to complete the whole game. Not just routes/ends; I don't mark a game as completed until I'm reasonably sure I've seen 100% of the possible text too. This is why being constantly stuck at something like 99.3% completion in Ever17 for years, no matter what I do, is driving me crazy.

>>8382954
Touko is my hands-down favorite heroine in anything I've ever played. I don't know that a fictional character has ever entranced me like that before.

Holy shit do I hope she's actually in Kara no Shoujo 2.

There's a Hongfire patch that fixes that, I think.

Nice try /jp/. You're not trolling me this time.

>>8387354
Would you like "further plans"?

The same guy is working on a related VN right now and his translation looks like it's improved a bit. I can't say anything more than that at the moment.

>>8387747
PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE

>>8387402
So something like comyu?

I really want to play My Girlfriend is the President (Osananajimi wa Daitouryou). Is there a torrent of the localization JAST did up on the net yet?

>>8388207
Yes.

>>8388276

Link?

Ok, regarding comyu, is Ayaya's route worth doing, at all?
Because I can't stand her and seems incredibly pointless.

>>8388356

>>8388639
HAH

>>8369963
>SnK

You'll enjoy it if you like shounen shit. I personally found it painfully bad. The fan disc is even worse.

Started skimming SuGirly Wish. Hina's pretty amusing.

>>8388627
I liked it but I like Ayaya, I actually laughed a lot during a route.
Though in term of important stuff it does introduce an important character who get a big role in the last route

>>8389204
Ok, thanks.
If it's funny it can't be too bad, since I dig the humour in this a lot.

I thought Ayaya's route was a fucking waste of time. The shitennou avatar-name guessing game was pretty funny though.

>>8389238
It's a comedy route, nothing happens but that's the point.
It managed to make me laugh quite a bit so it wasn't a waste of time for me.
Honestly only Mayuki's route felt like a waste for me.

Fuck Eiji route, that shit was the worst. Incest is not cool. Masa and Gilbert best routes.

Hahahahahahaha, this game is off the hook, seriously.

Re-reading Chaos;Head, despite the lol science nonsense that comes at the end it really is excellent during the first few chapters. It would have been great if it stuck to the keeping things in Takumi's head.

>>8394261
use free proxies, erogamescape's server randomly decides it doesn't want people accessing it, it's been going n for a few months.
I can load it maybe once a week if I don't use an american proxy, and even that sometimes doesn't load.

/jp/ I hate to ask this but in all my days I haven't seen a VN that actually included scat in an h scene.

Filthy halfling.

Oretsuba question, does Naru have a route outside of chapter 3? Seeing as Narita "dies" and all

>>8396534
She does. The individual routes don't start until after Chapter 5.

>>8396735
I was mostly wondering because the new content in chapter 3 once that flag hits is like 10 fold the difference with say the difference in new content when hitting flags for Hiyoko's route. But then again, she wasn't a character in chapter 3 outside of that initial scene the first play through, so that makes sense.

Thanks.
