Finished Grisaia Kajitsu + Meikyuu. What a damn sweet read, like slow food cooking dripping out juicy bits slowly.

Got to say, Sachi is a good girl! Personal the 2nd maid type character I liked in all the vn's I read in the past.

On story side, I found it odd for Sakaki to be the only one with a normal end/good end. Makina/Amane routes were good, totally didn't expect Amane to unfold like that given how her character was portraited before route split so it broke me in funny but enjoyable way. Not to mention, the genius sister! I gathered most people would expect her to be alive after Kajitsu prior to release of Meikyuu. Glad I only started Kajitsu after Meikyuu got released. In retrospect, Amane's route is the most complete - hell, he even got over his nightmares and even died peacefully, more than just married/baby in others. Yet it is almost the most incomplete as it links most strongly with grand route via ichihime back-story.

>> No.8692344

continuing >>8692336

As for Meikyuu grand route, it's apparent from the conversations that it's a mixed of all of them (Amane's accident-only diary mentioned by Sakaki, Makina's defence techniques, etc) and ties into Yuuji/Ichihime. However, ichihime is clearly alive in all of the routes in Kajitsu/Meikyuu, and only reappears in Amane's. Guess she did really mean she will choose a suitable girl for Yuuji and thus only appearing in Amane's. Does this mean Amane is the default heroine in the grand route given the Rakuen text trailer? Also I wonder the significance of Yuuji being named as a terrorist on TV in relation to protecting the girls (number 5 is significant - he promised not to die before then as an asset)he Also I can't help but feel it's going to be like MLA(no time for love) except the one who dies will be yuuji. Also a big question on why ichihime deliberately shit on yuuji via that CIA order knowing who Ethan(oslo) is and the psycho suggestion that's rooted deeply in him. I didn't get the impression she was lying about her feeling for yuuji, not to mention the opportunities she has when Asako is still taking care of him (thus get intel from JB about his situation). We better get the full detail why she refuses to move outside.

Can't wait for Rakuen.

Finished Dies Irae. I thought the best part about it was the outstanding cast of characters, and more importantly how they were handled. I feel like I know each one of them inside out, and I wish more eroge treated the characters they introduced as importantly as DI did. I always thought I'd never run into a cast I loved as much as I did Oretsuba's, but this game gives it a run for its money, just in a... how do I say this... different genre?

The OST's fantastic and I'm sure I'll be listening to some of the tracks on it for a long time - Thrud Walkure, Deus Vult, Walhall and Mephistopheles, to name a few.

I don't think there's much left to be said about its writing, so I'll just say that while most of it was well-written, some parts were just outstanding, like the intro to Marie's backstory for example, that was just unreal.

As for the routes themselves...
Kasumi:
Why did this even exist? Terrible character, shit route. It's so ordinary even by normal standards, but how good the other routes are just make it look even worse in comparison. Well, at least it was short.

Continuing from >>8694515
Kei:
With her being a long-black-haired rival swordsman voiced by Kawashima Rino, they couldn't have made her fit my tastes more even if they'd tried. I don't know if that's why, but I thought this was the best pairing in the game.

I shat bricks in rapid succession after Eleonore showed up. Kasumi's route lowered by expectations somewhat, so I wasn't expecting the three of them to show up so soon, let alone Mercurius. Shirou being a fucking hardcore badass was awesome, too.

Also, I have an unhealthy amount of love for Beatrice even though she showed up for what... an hour, at most? I even shed a tear when she faded away, which is just ridiculous.

Marie:
I was starting to get tired of Triffer's shit so I didn't care much for that stuff, but this was otherwise fucking great. Those lines on the hospital rooftop. That Marie. That Shirou/Eri. Those three fights. That final fight. That everything.

Rea:
I'll admit this route had me clueless for much of it, I didn't know where it was going and shit was just depressing. Everything from FRIENDSHIP onwards turned me speechless, though. I couldn't have asked for a better way to wrap things up, just fucking glorious.

Now listening to the drama CD, and Beatrice is drunk. Oh dear, what the hell have I gotten myself into?

I'd love to be proven wrong, but everyone I've talked to has come to the conclusion that parts like Rabbit Hole I and the Tsui no Sora gondola just don't make a lick of sense if you try to put it together.

That said, everyone should replay Rabbit Hole I after finishing the game just to understand how much of the plot was actually in the first chapter (and to understand just how fucked up Subahibi really is, too).

It makes a bit more sense if you consider Subahibi as the sequel of Tsui no Sora.
Which is why the last ending is called Tsui no Sora 2

I don't think anyone else around here played Tsui no Sora.

I might play it if it would help it make more sense, though. I always heard that Subahibi was a majorly expanded version of Tsui no Sora, not a sequel.

>> No.8700121

>>8700077
I read it, before I even did Subahibi actually.
In retrospect it wasn't a good idea since Subahibi is pretty much a remake and most of the scenes are just copy-pasted.
The main difference though come from Ayana's character, she has mostly the same role in both games but in Tsui no Sora she actually gets some development and feel a bit more human since you can actually "romance" herwell as human as a godlike passive observer can be
Tsui no Sora has 2 ends depending on whether Yukito the first protagonist chose Kotomi or Ayana though both ends are pretty much just different sides of the same coins, and Tsui no Sora 2 is pretty much a direct continuation of these endings.

Anyways the gondola scene in Down the rabbit hole 1 is a direct reference to Tsui no Sora 1, if you consider Ayana it's easy to understand that Subahibi is both a remake and a sequel

>> No.8700140

Subahibi is just a lot more expanded. Tsui no Sora is basically a diamond in the rough, you can see the design of something great but that's all, Subahibi is what happen when you refine it to its utmost.

This Russian dude put out some tools for playing around with the game files in Amagami but the last time he updated the tools was around 6 months ago and his precompiled tools don't work.

Just finished MLA, felt it was below my expectations but maybe my expectations was too high. I could see why people said it had pacing issues. Ignoring infodumps (some are justified, some aren't, and some are but had bad timing) I especially notice the overuse of constant flashbacks, even on silly things (felt like naruto).. which diminishes the effect the handful of revelations amongst others that weren't obvious as hell to guess. This compounded with cheesy muv-luv bgm (they should have made new or remix some of the tracks) or sound effects (heart beat etc) if toned down, could've made it better. It literally feels like watching bleach, whenever MC gets resolve and is followed by the 'number one' song. Not going to talk about the plot since that really needs a thread of its own, or better done in /vg/. Overall MLA had very high production values.

Playing MLA altered fable right now, but given how long MLA was I want a break from it's universe... I wonder if there is there any good space battle VNs or something? Not sure what's a genre that's novel which I can play at this point.

It was a pretty gripping read if a little inconsistent. I could have done without the foster-parents casually fucking the brains out of their traumatized teenager. I think they could have easily worked in more emotionally consistent sex scenes (slow-burning relationship with Asako coming to a head relatively late, mutual comforting with JB after her death) Instead they were pure shota sex-machine comic relief.

Currently reading Silhouette but it's a bit strange to read something that wasn't written by a native Japanese.

No mention of the vastly superior Jill? How dare you.

I liked the story in Empire better but I thought Abyss had a better overall cast. Maybe not for the characters themselves but I just felt that some of the conversations were better written in Abyss than Empire. Also Kilt's position made it easier to get attached to the heroines as opposed to Fried's. Fried was cool but felt kind of disconnected from the heroines. Emperor Fried has swagger though.

Gameplay was kind of a tie for me. Abyss was more advanced but I actually prefer Empire's style(which is why I'm looking forward to Frontier) Also Abyss lacks goddess corruption and that's a shame.

>>8703888
No grinding, really. (It's kind of hard to 'grind' in the series anyway due to how it works. It's possible but probably more of a pain than its worth) The rape isn't like Rance, but it's not grimdark rape either. I think the usually ridiculous and over the top 'evil' personalities the goddesses have after being corrupted from the rape makes it hard to find it depressing. And Abyss, the only one without goddess corruption, has rape done under necessary pretext to win the war so it's not so bad. Most of the people you're raping are mutual allies. It's a "no hard feelings" kind of thing

I finally got around to actually finishing my playthrough of Strawberry Nauts (Mikamo's route, specifically), which I picked for my first untranslated VN since it looked simple. It went smoothly.

While it was utterly mediocre, thanks to a generic story and some "cheapness" (such as the timeskip they did in the beginning to introduce Mikamo and the fact that the first part of the game features scenes where every heroine gets a shot at the same thing, which felt extremely forced), I won't deny that it did what it set out to do very well. The game is about "how one falls in love", alright.

It was quite entertaining seeing MC and Mikamo's relationship develop. There wasn't much drama either, which was probably for the best. And, of course, Mikamo herself was incredibly cute. Like, seriously cute. Pic related, this scene brought my heart to it's limit.

The soundtrack didn't particularly stand out, except perhaps Te ga Todoku Youni (which, now that I think of it, I don't remember hearing in Mikamo's route) and the opening and ending songs.

I am not exactly qualified to say this, considering how little visual novels I have played and how I have only played through Mikamo's route (and honestly, I am not exactly planning on the doing others right now), but anyone looking for a simple, cute love story might want to give Strawberry Nauts a try.

If you pay attention, one of the lines in Mikamo's epilogue left a bit with the voice actor clearing her throat.
