Ready for what?
I cannot into runes, so I'm not going to enjoy this VN until someone will translate it.
It's also pricey as shit (in fact more expensive than Diablo III collector's edition) and there's nothing but a disk and small artbook with screenshots from VN.

Mahoyo is a huge blunder.

I argue that the effort put into it and the quality of the product could determine how reasonable the price is. It could be a money grab, yes, but let's have proof of that before we say anything. Kinetic, no voices, based on an already written novel, sure. That doesn't mean that no effort was put in, or that the product will be bad.

The only actual argument you have there is that it may be only a "few" hours long. There's no reason to consider it a side-story (in fact, there's every reason to not consider it that, since it was Nasu's first novel or something close). And there's no conclusive proof (yet) that it's "pretentious garbage". I know you're probably incapable of not jumping to conclusions, but the fact is that it's not proven yet. It is possible that it would be good despite any length problems.

Anonymous Sat, Mar 31, 2012 20:32:02 No.8784504

Could it be that I'm the only one who thinks that "no voices" is actually better than "voiced", and that choices and sex scenes are entirely optional shit? The only thing i have doubts about is the lenght, as well as the fact that at this rate Type-Moon won't ever do anything "new", but whatever.

Voices are more a matter of principle than anything else.
Especially since now it's not uncommon for even doujin VNs to be fully voiced.
And it's not like TM doesn't have more than enough money to do a great job in terms of voice acting.
Especially as it's not like it's a gargantuan task to allow people to disable voices if they so wish.

And quite honestly, I'll be surprised if Mahoyo doesn't have an enhanced version/console port out in 2 years or so with voices and the like, with how it's shaping up.

And considering Type-Moon is one of the wealthiest VN making companies around, the lack of voices also feels like they're trying to minimize production costs in order to maximize profit.
Especially when Aoko already has a VA, so most people are going to probably end up projecting that voice in for her and so on.

Wouldn't it be the other way around? A poor company choosing not to have voices would likely be because they're trying to save money and maximize profit, but when it's a company with a large budget like Type-Moon the decision would more likely be for other reasons.

A poor company (and therefore probably unpopular or a new one) likely couldn't afford the loss of sales from not including voices, as it's pretty much industry standard.
Even first titles from new companies are generally have at least the female characters voiced, depending on the game type, even if they're done by not as popular VAs.

Think of it like this: Assuming all other factors between two titles relatively the same by companies you've never heard of, would you rather pay for a title with more or less content?

You guys, have you even read the trial?

Mahoyo is revolutionary. For years, I'd suspected Type-Moon of sitting on their collective asses doing nothing, but when I read the trial, I noticed how wrong I was. Even if it's short, it will still be amazing. I wonder how it will affect the rest of the industry.

As for voicing, having read the trial, no voice was indeed the correct choice for this. It would only disrupt the flow of the story.

I understand that Witch Hunt basically only existed for Umineko and is probably disbanded by now, but maybe we can shanghai Ixrec or something.

Not to mention you are treating Nasu like he has any kind of hard to translate style, he doesn't, he may use a weird kanji here or there, but his writing is relatively simple to understand.

Uh, if it sold poorly, don't you think Type Moon would go, "Well, maybe we should've had routes and voice acting." I don't see why it would make them milk FSN or Tsukihime more. Even if it did though, I'd rather play more FSN spinoffs than this.

It's part of Aoko and Touko's backgrounds that neither are wearing their natural hair color of dark brown and black anymore. Aoko dyes her hair red in protest of the title "Blue", and Touko dyed her hair blue in protest of the title "Orange". (Touko has since been retconned to dye her hair red in protest of her sister getting the Blue title, due to the KnK anime movies portraying her with red hair. [Nasu said he liked the movies more than what he actually wrote, so yeah])

FSN sold better than Extra. And even than, Extra is still pretty much a VN. There is also the fact if they make a new, original work, they can then create a whole slew of stuff based off it. Anime, figs, novels, spinoff games, etc.

You need to take development costs into consideration too. Who cares if Mahoyo doesn't sell as good as Extra or whatever? How much do you think it costs them to make a VN with no voice acting or anything, and with the scenario already written out in an old book? It certainly can't cost as much as it does do make an anime or a PSP game with gameplay mechanics and everything.

If Mahoyo sold a lot, I believe they'd start thinking, "Hey, these fans eat up anything we shit out! Let's keep this up!"

>>	Anonymous Mon, Apr 2, 2012 18:48:28 No.8793028 >>8792979 Yeah, except Mahoyo actually cost a lot to produce, and for VNs, Type-Moon has to pay it all. For anime or mainstream games, it's simply a matter of giving a different company the license and letting the cash roll in.

>except Mahoyo actually cost a lot to produce
I have a hard time believing that. How exactly could a short VN, with no VA, no multiple scenario writers, a general plot that is already written, cost a lot to make? There is no way it costs near as much as big titles like Rewrite, Steins;Gate, etc. And if it did in fact cost so much, then they have some serious issues.

>it's simply a matter of giving a different company the license and letting the cash roll in.
Yea except they don't get all the money from licensed works. A decent chunk of the cash from anime goes to the animation studio for example.

And even if you were right, why would that stop them from making VNs? You're saying TM just gives the license and doesn't have to invest at all themselves, so why can't they just keep doing that whilst making VNs? It's essentially a win-win for them. Make good, new VNs that sell, whilst other companies make spinoff entries that sell. Then other companies can make anime etc of their new VNs meaning even more money.
