Finished Family Project. And it was really, really average.

95% of the cast was completely unlike-able, the exceptions being Tsukasa himself and Hiroshi. The plot wasn't all that good, though it did have its moments. The resolution was either extremely stupid or doesn't resolve much at all, depending on which you take.

That said, I didn't hate it. It was interesting enough to keep me reading, but it never wowed me or made me experience any emotion at all, for that matter. The sad moments never affected me, and the 'intense' moments made me go ''meh''. Everything is pretty much forgettable.

Can somebody explain me why people hyped it so much? Because there's absolutely nothing special about it.

copypasta aside yes it was average. Character introductions were pretty good but relied too much on your symphaty for damaged goods. Writing was bad, lots of stuff didn't make sense or were written just for the sake of the plot. Tsukasa and Hiroshi were pretty damn awesome although Hiroshi got annoying on way too many occasions

Slice of life isn't a fucking genre for an eroge, Kazokei is a healing game.

>>2975267
Also for this guy, if he had actually played game from Akabeisoft 2 written by Loose-boy he would have saw that they are pretty similar compared to Kazokei.
Both Sharin and even G-senjou feature a jaded male character who get "saved" by the women around him.
Especially Sharin is first and foremost a human drama with lot of healing scenes, it's pretty similar to Kazokei in that regard.

But of course he talk shit without ever playing them, which is pretty obvious considering he put "plot intensive" and "nitro+" in the same sentence.

It's hard to not have much expectations of it when it's been hyped for years as one of the best VNs of all time. If you go into it thinking it's going to be a masterpiece, you'll be sorely disappointed.

Why would you need to learn German? Learning a European language is pointless in my opinion because there's an over abundance of free European translators. Oddly enough, I never seen an Italian Anon or French Anon. But there's bound to be some out there.

>Nitro+ make style over substance eroge, there's nothing wrong with that but their plot are never that well developed or really that interesting.

While I do believe that you in some way have a point, I do believe that you have missed a few points regarding what makes up a story.

Plot:
>In fiction, the plot is a sequence of interrelated events arranged to form a logical pattern and achieve an intended effect.

All stories have plot, for example
Yume Miru Kusuri;
Is about a teenage boy who lives what he finds as a rather "color less" life and the story is about what he together with one girl (out of three girls who also find themselves living "colorless" lives) does in order to make their life more "colorful".

Sumaga;
It is about a teenage boy without any memories of himself who dies falling from the sky while interacting with three witches who fights monsters in order to save the world and the story is about how he tries to understand both himself and the three girls while being allowed to be resurrected by god in order to try doing so.

Odd.

Shouldn't the ghostboard be more active, since /jp/ is currently down?

>> No.2975271,118 [INTERNAL] 

>>2975271,116
Now, the thing is that YMK starts with describing the setting and the characters through character introduction and while the story does start with the protagonist thinking about how his life isn't really anything special, the plot doesn't really continue until he first starts being with one of the girls.
After that the plot gets more and more intensive as he spends more time with girls and the more he learns about them and at the end of the story YMK is quite plot intensive.

Sumaga's plot starts intensive with him falling down from the sky and with witches fighting monsters in the sky who are attacking the city and with the protagonists limited interactions with the witches before he finally gets smashed on the ground and dies where he have a conversation with god about himself and the three witches and finally gets resurrected in order to try making something more out of all of their lives.
Right from the start of Sumaga the protagonist tries to do whatever he can in order learn more about the three witches and pretty much all of his actions are for that reason.

With that said it is pretty clear that Sumaga is far more plot intensive than YMK.
Now, a story being plot intensive doesn't mean at all that the story (or the plot) is any better than a story that is less plot intensive, it just means that the story revolves around the plot much (there is more to a story than plot).
A story can in fact be plot intensive to such a degree so that other things in the story may suffer which could be bad for the story.

Saya no Uta starts similar to Sumaga.
It starts very plot intensive by letting the reader follow a conversation between the protagonist and his friends at a café through the protagonist's mentally damaged view of the thing and right after that they showed the very same scene through a normal view in order to show the difference. Then the rest of the whole story is about the protagonist's mental illness and the creature Saya and how everyone else reacts to what they do.

In fact, most of Nitro+'s stories starts of plot intensive and continues pretty plot intensive from start to end.

To say that their works aren't plot intensive is plain wrong. Even uninteresting/boring things in a story can make a story plot intensive if it contributes to the plot, for example;
Even the scenes were the protagonist in SnU sat in the classroom and basically didn't do much contributes to the plot because it explained to the reader how he found his daily "normal" life disgusting as hell and how he just lived through it in order to prevent people from becoming suspicious of him.
A plot intensive story can be very "slow" depending on the plot itself.

Sure, people can think that Nitro+'s works are shit but they shouldn’t criticize what they don't understand.

Sumaga is a joke.
Anyways that's not what I meant, of course Saya is a thriller, a pretty good one at that, but everything that happen in it is pretty much done for the style that to convey something meaningful.
That's Urubochi's style, he did the same thing in all of his works, that are more similar to a pulp movie that a novel anyways.
Though considering his love for western media, it's wanted I guess.

You seem to think that stories are only "plot intensive" when lots of exciting events happen, that's not true.
Any point when a story convey something, develop a character, a relationship, etc... can be say to be "plot intensive".
Family Project, and Yume Miru Kusuri or Clannad, are character driven, meaning that the focus in on the development of the characters, their interactions.

But the fact that they have less exciting "events" that something like Saya or Umineko doesn't fucking mean that they have less substance, just that they have a different focus.

>You seem to think that stories are only "plot intensive" when lots of exciting events happen, that's not true.
I don't

>Any point when a story convey something, develop a character, a relationship, etc... can be say to be "plot intensive".
I know, that was my point.

As I explained in previous posts
>Even uninteresting/boring things in a story can make a story plot intensive if it contributes to the plot, for example;
>A plot intensive story can be very "slow" depending on the plot itself.

As you said
>Family Project, and Yume Miru Kusuri or Clannad, are character driven, meaning that the focus in on the development of the characters, their interactions.

So if I repeat my YMK example
>the story is about what he together with one girl (out of three girls who also find themselves living "colorless" lives) does in order to make their life more "colorful".

Since the story is about that, the story becomes more and more plot intensive the more they get to know each other and the more things that make their lives more "colorful". However, since they don't even know each other at first and the fact that it takes a while before they do that also means that it isn't as "plot intensive" at first either.

And if I repeat my Sumaga example
>the story is about how he tries to understand both himself and the three girls while being allowed to be resurrected by god in order to try doing so.

This means that the story gets more and more plot intensive the more he tries to learn and the more he learns about himself and the witches. Which he does throughout the whole story at pretty much all times.

It is a bit funny how you totally missed my point for pretty much the opposite.
You know Chaos Head is plot intensive even though the protagonist sits at his computer and plays MMORPG's most of the time.

Reread what I wrote, I didn't miss your point.
I'm only refuting the fact that you imply that the more exciting a scene is, the more plot intensive they are.
That's just not true, when a writer try to convey something, that's what plot intensive mean.
A very laid back scene can be as plot intensive as an exciting scene with lots of development, based on how they are executed.

For example for something famous, The Catcher in the Rye is far from being the most exciting novel, it's actually pretty laid back and almost anticlimatic.
Yet the development of the protagonist, his views on the world, etc..., everything is extremely well developed, every part of the story is meaningful, even the seemingly most boring or useless scenes.
That's what I meant.

What is interesting doesn't matter, the fact that even though the story may be "pretty lame and straightforward", everything revolves around Saya and the protagonist's mental illness which is very relevant to the plot and it is therefore plot intensive.

Characters, Plot, Setting, Theme and Style is what makes a story.

If we take something as ridiculous as Naruto as an example;
By giving details on Rock Lee's back story and his overall character does add to Rock Lee's character and the changes in his character adds to his character development.
Now this is something that is regarded as a good thing as it gives more depth to character, but it doesn't make the story more plot intensive because what is known about Rock Lee is not relevant to the plot.
Now if this information would be relevant to the plot then his character and character development would also add to the plot and making it more intense, but since it isn't relevant it doesn’t make the story more plot intensive at all even though it may have added to his character which could be regarded as a good thing.

What makes a story plot intensive is completely relevant to each story and it can be "exciting" things but it can also be things that are "boring" and "uninteresting" as well, it really depends on the story.

Actually it doesn't make your point more clear.
Because once again you seem to think that only the "story" constitute the plot and that the only relevant development are those who develop it.

That's just wrong, most eroge are character driven stories.
For example FSN, actually the setting is just decoration, the exciting developments are just plot device to bring the character development.
FSN is first and foremost the story of Shirou and how he develops in the 3 routes, that's the axis of the story, and of course you can't forget the main female characters and even the side characters.

Saying that character development, even for the side characters, is irrevelant is just fucking stupid, especially in that media

>Saying that character development, even for the side characters, is irrevelant is just fucking stupid, especially in that media

I do agree with this but it wasn't really what I said.
What I said was that if a character is irrelevant to the plot, then that character doesn't make the story more plot intensive, it does however make the story as a whole more complete usually better made even if it doesn't make the story any more plot intensive.

As you said
>For example FSN, actually the setting is just decoration, the exciting developments are just plot device to bring the character development.
>FSN is first and foremost the story of Shirou and how he develops in the 3 routes, that's the axis of the story

The thing with fsn is that each and every character we get to see in fsn greatily affects Shirou's character development and therefore each and every character makes the story more plot intensive.

I think Fate/Stay Night would've worked better as something like Melty Blood's original story, where you had to fight to advance the plot.

If the author tries to convey something, then character development is never irrevelant, even if these development may seem useless at first.

What you call plot is just that, what the author tries to convey, it encompass everything, the story, the characterization, the themes, if a writer is good then there's no useless moments, even the seemingly calmer scenes or the development of the seemingly most useless side characters are necessary and serves the big picture.
Therefore a good novel is plot intensive at all times.

Everything an author tries to convey doesn't have to be relevant to the plot.
It may add to the elements of
Character, Plot, Setting, Theme and Style but it doesn't have to add to all of them at the same time.
The authors "message" or what the author wanted to convey isn't the same thing as the story's plot.

Descriptions that doesn't affect the line of events or how things happen is a good example of something that still conveys something but that doesn't add to the plot.
J.R.R Tolkien did this a lot, while lots of his descriptions did affect the plot in some way or another but there are also lots of descriptions that don’t really matter.
He could give background info on treasures, who made them and why they were made and what they used to be used for, even if none of the characters in the story knew anything about that and because of that it didn't affect the plot.
All of his descriptions did add a lot to both Character, Setting, Theme and Style in different ways but only some of his descriptions added to the actual plot.

>> No.2975271,153 [INTERNAL] 

>>2975271,152
I would also like to add that a story usually aren't as simple as only having one plot, there are usually sub-plots accompanying the main plot.
If we take fsn again;
FSN is first and foremost the story of Shirou and how he develops in the 3 routes, that's the axis of the story
This is the main plot.
The subplots would be something like this
Subplot 1: The result of the war
Subplot 2: Shirou becoming a hero
Subplot 3: Shirou's affection for Saber
Subplot 4: Shirou's affection for Rin
Subplot 5: Shirou's affection for Sakura
Subplot 6: Shirou's affection for Iliya

Subplots are subplots for a reason though and all of these subplots contribute to the main plot. Subplots are just that, a plot "under" a main plot.

And as >>2975271,151 said
