/vr/ - Retro Games

I'm in the epilogue now and had planned to make a thread once I'm finished.

Hey thanks for creating the thread
So I'm currently playing it for the first time and making some GIFS as I go along
Posted a few in this thread >>1118826
More to come tomorrow
I will try to finish Mio's route

Sounds interesting. Where can I download it?

And here's a selection of some of my favorite tracks from the game (though they're all great, really):

I also forgot to add that the first link, besides of having multiple tracks, also has the opening cinematic beginning at 2:15.

i am sold when i read the imagawa papers. never before, i have to use my thinking brain to enjoy a prologue with a form of a scientific paper.

>>1136217
You can't finish Mio's route without clearing Mitsuki's route.

>>1136298
Aw shit
So that's where you get that coin/medal for the door?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ8eCd7Giz4

>>1136298
That's sort of the point of the game. Unlike most visual novels, there's a shitload of branching paths, and you need to sometimes even fail a route first so you can get an item (yes, this is a VN with an item inventory) to get further. I think half of the fun is just playing around with the multiple realities and eventually finding your own way.

>>1136307
And even then you need some repeating/reloading so be careful how to invest your jewels.

>>1136320
Sheeeit

>>1136316
The continuous inventory was very confusing at first.
I had given away the 20th page and when I reloaded an earlier save I realized I no longer had it and was unable to find it in its original place.

>>1136172
I've had this installed for a while with the sound files and PC-98 music pack, but I haven't gotten to it yet. Yuno has easily been on my PC since June, though.

>>1136316
>yes, this is a VN with an item inventory
Look, that's called an adventure game. Visual/sound novels are illustrated digital audiobooks.

>>1136341
Not this crap argument again. I meant visual novel as in a Japanese adventure game. But I see your point. The definition varies between different people. Still, Yu-No has its own page on the Visual Novel Database, if that supports my view at all.

but I don't really give a damn enough to argue with you past this, so let's just leave it at that

>>1136316
In most situations the items are on a close branch. The silver medal and the blue card are the only ones I can think of that need a completely different path.

>>1136334
If you or anyone else has trouble with the game, you can consult these links:
http://tlwiki.org/index.php?title=Kono_Yo_no_Hate_de_Koi_wo_Utau_Shoujo_YU-NO:Walkthrough
http://vndb.org/t2212

>>1136350
It's like saying "silly string" when you mean to say "ramen".

And tgere's no argument here, VNs and adventure games are two entirely different things, period.

>>1136241
if anyone is having issue with that link try this one

Just looking into it now

>>1136172

not into japanese games, but i gotta ask... why doesn't she have pants on? i mean, she has a shirt on...

>>1136376
Because Yu No is a porn game. Yes, full-on porn.

>>1136383
Shhhhhh- It's a porn game with a STORY. Though to be fair, the pr0n only takes up like 2% of the full game.

>>1136376

>Not into Japanese games

You filthy little shit. you're missing out on roughly 99% of the best games ever made...

>>1136394
>99% of the best games ever made fifteen years ago

>>1136372
If that's not the Elf Classics version the English Patch doesn't work

>>1136391
Sex scenes are extremely minor but skimpy outfits are fairly common.
Gotta check out panties or boobs whenever the opportunity arises.

>>1136394

>filthy little shit

as a 35 year old man, coming in at 5'11" & 190#, i can honestly say i do not know how you came to call me this.

>japanese best ever
opinions, opinions. i like what i like, you like what you like, we both win. i also like my games to make sense in english (read: shitty translations), nor do i want to learn japanese for the sole purpose of understanding a game.

Has anyone tried running it under wine?

>>1136420
He probably assumed you were "little" due to your mediocre syntax. But I'll let you type the way you like, and I'll type the way I like. We both win.

Can I get a 100% or 99% save somewhere? The game just crashed on me after I watched the ending and deleted all my saves. Now I can't get to the music room without replaying the whole thing.

>>1136562
Damn. Well, the best I can come up with at the moment is this.
http://vndb.org/t2622

It's at 98%, whatever that means.

>>1136581
98% means everything before the epilogue.
99% is directly after the epilogue
100% is a bunch of extra paths that opens after the epilogue.
Those saves have actually 100% so it's exactly what I needed.

Where was all this during my retro visual novels thread this weekend?

http://archive.foolz.us/vr/thread/1125139/

>>1136848
According to some people, it isn't a visual novel.

Haha, but I digress. Not all VN conversation has to be relegated to that one thread of yours. So why not pitch in and get some lively conversation going here?

>>1136394
I have to admit, jap visual novels, porn or not, are the only video games that have literally brought tears to my eyes, even leaving me hot and bothered up to a week or two after finishing them.

Was Kanna Amanda and Takuya's daughter?

The game had too many Where's Waldo moments where you needed to click everything on screen multiple times to progress.
A log so you don't accidentally skip explanations was missing.
The puzzles came a bit out of nowhere. A slow introduction to the concept could have been better.
The female guard lacked a route.

still need to finish it.

Welcome to Adventure Games.

Who else thought the cigarette was a mouth?

Is this the one with the incest?

>>1137410
Yes.

>>1137412
>>1137410
It's technically not really incest, it's his widowed stepmother. And she's like 10 years older than him or something.

>>1137416

>>1137418
Spoiled hard
I really shouldn't be in this thread while halfway through the game

>>1137419
You could at least refrain from revealing spoilers.

>>1137435
I just assumed it was NSFW
I can't help myself from seeing what's underneath spoilers

>>1137440
That's one of the reasons why using spoilers for pornography is not allowed.

>watching the hentai
>2nd episode has godly animation, pop a million boners
>other three episodes are ten times shittier by comparison

If only the whole thing looked so good

>>1137491
I have no idea there was a hentai.

>>1137515
Now, I fell like watching it instead of playing the gam.

Beating it without a guide is suffering.

>>1137551
Is it even possible ? Most of the "puzzle" aren't logical at all, like, how you found one pearl in the desk only if you do one thing first instead of another.

>>1137515
Note that this is 10 bit so you will need an up to date media player.
Use CCCP if you don't know any better.

>>1137561
I managed to solve the first puzzle without the pocket computer or diary by using the clock in the study as a cipher. But that made the second puzzle inconceivable.
I didn't find the jewel in the study without help. Who rewatches the opening?
The parts where you need to talk with the other students or workers also didn't cross my mind in some situations.

Surprisingly the first instance where they were lazy with the eyes animation

>>1136241
>http://tlwiki.org/index.php?title=YU-NO_-_The_Girl_that_Chants_Love_at_the_Edge_of_the_World

Downloaded game and patched it, still launches in japanese. Am I using the wrong exe?

A15ENG exe and
A15WIN exe neither work. What am I doing wrong here?

>>1137796
It's right there in the wiki
>You will need to be in Japanese locale to run the game correctly.

I watched the OVA after finishing the game. You obviously can't expect them to compress a story of this length into two hours but many of the changes were rather weird and the parts they took from the game being placed out of order were confusing. The copious amounts of lesbianism and bizarre events like everyone in the oracle chamber wearing nothing but panties Eriko apparently smuggled in bulk were cringeworthy.

torrent is being gay

Mio is Kanna's mother in the anime.

Why did they give Ayumi black hair?

Great VN.

>>1137887

You can also search for the filenames to find HTML downloads if IRC doesn't work for some reason.

>>1137864
In other words, the OVA sucks. Play the game instead.

Like I said before, WELCOME TO ADVENTURE GAMES.

>>1137371
Are there no adventures that let you romance female guards?

>>1138070
It certainly is no replacement.
It doesn't even do the job of animating the main sex scenes from the game and the sex scenes it has are rather short.

Was Kaori just a spy/newscaster or was she also an alien?
Is Eriko a virgin?

In my opinion the game could have played more with deja vu and groundhog day. Takuya retains his memories and apparently uses them in a couple of situations.

>>1138185
No he doesn't. Each route starts out like he doesn't remember any of the other ones. I suppose it was like that because the plot would get too needlessly convoluted if they had to rephrase every sentence depending on which route was done first.

But seriously, is this a complaints general or something? All discussion is fine, but there are plenty of good aspects too.

>>1138185
But the deja vu and groundhog day that was there already was quite amazing.

I wish more Japanese games would have a branching, story-heavy narrative like this one. Most people complain about JRPGs being too linear, but what if they adopted this system? I think it would be a great way to add nonlinearity to eastern vidya without sacrificing narrative.

bumping for samefags

>>1136241
So I installed this and patched it but the voices were in Japanese. Then I downloaded the "voice patch's voice files and moved them into the program directory but the voices were still in Japanese so I downloaded them yet again thinking something might have gone wrong but this time I checked them before I did anything with 'em. Yep Japanese.

I was probably being overly optimistic to have hoped for a fan dub.

On another note, is there an English patch for the Saturn version?

>>1139031

>wanting a fan dub

Scum.

>>1139031
The fan patch included the content from the Saturn version into the Windows version.

>>1139031
This game has god tier voice acting and you wanted a fandub?
Is there even such a thing as fandubs in video game translation projects?

>>1139231

Yes, there are people that stupid. It was part of DeJaps eventual plans way back.

>>1138310
It's not that uncommon for adventures.
http://vndb.org/g606
Dating sims include branching plots and RPG elements though some are more story heavy than others.

I keep feeling I innavertedly took Eriko's route instead of Mitsuki, I keep running into her in dubious circumstances

>>1139326
Welp I guess I was right, they did it in the locker. But I wonder what I did wrong to steer off Mitsuki's path.
This scene was whimsical though. Got me a chuckle.

>>1139326
They don't have a route of their own or a good ending.
There's an optional Mitsuki sex scene and a mandatory one for Eriko but overall it's the curse route.

>>1139350
>curse route
Oh fug.
Honestly I just followed Mitsuki's route to get the Mio's coin as >>1136298 said.

>>1139354
It's on that route. You can't even get the medal and the Mitsuki scene at the same time.
You will notice on your map that there are several branches you need to explore so trace back and explore them until you got all the items.

>>1136435
I did. Got music, but nothing on the screen (didn't try most recent development version, though). Anybody more successful?

>>1138078
>Welcome to shitty adventure games
FTFY. Good adventure games are hard, but fair.

>>1139369
Doesn't look like it: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=28823
>Wine 1.7.0
>You can't do anything after choosing between monochrome and color versions of the game. It doesn't react to keypresses or mouse clicks and the images don't show, leaving a blank window.

Why the color is all wrong when I go in Fullscreen mode ?

>>1139371
What? How is this game unfair? Or even hard for that matter, do you even read what the characters are saying? I'm playing it for the first time and I'm having no problem so far.

>>1139383
>so far.

>>1139387
Y-you'll see

>>1139371
The biggest problem most people have is that they don't discover the corpse next to the sarcophagus because you can tackle the puzzle without it.
the developers also added the option of a few simpler puzzles.
You don't have to use every item with everything on screen like in some other adventures. If you are stuck it's enough to run around in circles and click around when you're in a place you usually can't access. Takuya will also offer helpful advice on occasion.

>>1139376
Usually it goes away after a few moments.

>>1139041
>>1139231
If you guys love the Japanese so much why are you playing with English text? Sure is getting /a/ in here.

My point was that the wiki is phrased in a way that led me to believe there were available English voice files - whether they be fandubs or what I was really hoping for, alternative audio on the Saturn version.

This game seems like it might have enough gameplay to be the first full blown VN I play but not if it's going to turn me into a weeaboo

>>1139403
>not if it's going to turn me into a weeaboo
way to be a scaredy-cat

>>1139403
So you're afraid to potentially enjoy something because of the way other people will perceive you? Way to be a bitch

>>1139403
You can play it without voices if you want to.
The voices are from the Saturn version and they usually don't make alternate English voice tracks for a Japan only game. Particularly not one with about 50 hours of text.

>>1139404
>>1139405
Being a weeaboo has nothing to do with how people perceive you and everything to do with saying things like "Oh this voice acting that I can't understand is superb. Only scum like English dubs"

Look, I can understand watching anime and playing games subbed that are not available in English and I generally do use subs especially when playing video games But when you've done it so much you actually claim to PREFER the sub to the dub yet you still don't understand Japanese you're definitely a dipshit.

>>1139406
I have a lot of Japanese Saturn games with English dialog but they're survival horror and stealth games.

>>1139651
>But when you've done it so much you actually claim to PREFER the sub to the dub yet you still don't understand Japanese you're definitely a dipshit.

I can understand it. English dubs are rarely high quality especially when it's anime/game related.

You right though that people should rather learn Japanese instead of bitching about subs/dubs.

>>1139651
You don't have to understand a language to appreciate it and recognize good acting.Do you only listen to English music because you don't understand the rest?
This has nothing to do with being a weeaboo. I watch movies and the like in their original language, with subtitles whenever I don't understand that since they remove less from the original experience than a voice over.
I think a lot of people here have a profound understanding of Japanese, they're just too lazy to learn the script and grammar.

>>1139656
Did any of those games require a fan translation?

>>1139651
you must be the type of person who watches a foreign film and proceeds to bitch about the language not being english

Jesus Christ, this game doesn't fuck around

>>1139672
No not really, as long as your fairly familiar with the conventions of the genre. Like if you've played Resident Evil you can figure out Deep Fear. If you've played Metal Gear Solid you can figure out Deep Freeze.

Sometimes it can add an extra level of challenge but it's not necessary. Example, I imported Code Veronica so I could play it before the US release. There's a part where you need to rotate a briefcase in your item menu to the latch side and press A to open it and retrieve another item from inside it. That wasn't a mechanic in the PSX REs so I didn't just automatically try it - but if I had been able to read the menu I would have seen the description of the button.

>>1139665
The Japanese voices on DBZ make me want to stab out my own ear drums. Pretty much any action anime seems like that. It's like to their ears a man raising the pitch of his voice makes him sound tougher or something.

>>1139668
>a profound understanding of Japanese
>too lazy to learn the script and grammar.
Confirmed weeaboo. I actually am one of those people who doesn't even understand English lyrics very well without reading them, music is a universal language although I don't really care for that native Eastern music like the sitar uses different keys and scales. On the other hand I love bilingual Asian artists like Shonen Knife and Hikari.

>>1139675
I don't bitch about it but when I screen my Criterion Collection laserdisc of Seven Samurai you better believe I listen to the English audio track. Come at me.

I'm stuck ;_;
Please don't tell me I need to use the device thingie

>>1139792
You only need the reflector when you've reached an ending point, marked E on the map, and when you lack a crucial item, which only happens once.
Just click around until you find something.

>>1139807
Yeah clicking around seemed to trigger something eventually. Thanks.

>>1139768
>The Japanese voices on DBZ make me want to stab out my own ear drums. Pretty much any action anime seems like that. It's like to their ears a man raising the pitch of his voice makes him sound tougher or something.

DBZ is an old ass anime. Voice acting is generally on a higher standard nowadays. Dubs are rarely good.

>>1139831
>DBZ is an old ass anime
And YU-NO is an old ass game and /vr/ is an old school board for people with old ass sensibilities.

>>1139768

>watching the English dub of Seven Samurai

I was just kidding before, but now you really are scum.

Neither a sub nor a dub can ever give you a full understanding of a script written in Japanese. The two languages work too differently. Why bastardize it when it doesn't give you any greater and understanding?

But watching foreign films in English is truly deplorable. A bit less so with cartoons, but still.

>>1139831

DBZ is kind of dreck in general (I still like it though) but it has some really talented seiyuu in it. Plus the original music is far superior.

>>1139668

I wouldn't say I have a profound understanding of Japanese, but I did learn hira and kata to play Famicom import games. Doesn't mean I can understand everything, but I can at least read it. It's a learning process.

The grammar isn't much different from a lot of other languages. Certainly different from English though.

>>1139860
>hira and kata

You can just say kana.

What a sad ending, she was just a useless pawn. Anon wasn't kidding when saying this path is a curse.
Still haven't found the coin though, but I still have two branches to explore, and I think I know where it is.

>>1139860
See, this has been something I've been meaning to do because I think it would be worth putting in the effort to greatly expand my potential for enjoying video games.

>>1139853
On the other hand, sitting on my ass watching subtitled foreign language films until I convince myself I have some kind of "full understanding" of a language I still can't speak or understand when spoken is the kind of thing I'd rather hit myself in the head with a hammer than do.

I do find it interesting to watch foreign films with both the dub and the subs on since they DO often diverge appreciably. I like to think that gives me more of an appreciation of the differences between the script and the dub more than listening to the japanese with a smug look on my face and nodding knowingly when a couple times a minute I recognize some kindergarten ass level word.

>>1139885

>tfw both of those posts are me

In any given Japanese script, you're only going to understand the basics of it, sub or dub. I just don't see the point in watching a bastardized version that supplants original performances.

Learning two additional alphabets isn't easy. I basically copied them down by hand every night for about six months while reciting the meaning of each character as I wrote it until I could do it from memory. I don't really know any kanji though. Fuck kanji. Lots of anime (those for younger audiences mainly) have furigana which tell you the meaning of the kanji in kana syllabets, but when it comes to games you're out of luck.

Most Japanese people don't actually know all the Kanji.

>>1139894

Taking 6 months for kana only sounds absurdly long. Also the characters don't have any meaning, only sounds.

I've learned them in like 4 days. It's not hard at all.

>>1139869
It's the path about the curse in Ryozoji's mansion.

>>1139901

It took me a long time before I knew them all by memory. But good on you if it took you less time.

>>1139908

I can't write any character for shit, though. Anyway, you should look out for electronical aids like Anki. It makes the whole learning process a lot more bearable.

Slowly approaching my 1600th kanji today after one year of learning and I'm lazy as fuck.

>>1139903
In that sense, Kanna's route is about the Hypersense Stone, Mio's about Triangle Mountain and Ayumi's about Geotechnics.

>>1139398
In the extras section in the main menu, they have a segment devoted directly to the solving the puzzle. If I remember correctly, they even give you the answer. This pretty much renders this puzzle easy as hell.

I can relate to anyone who has problems with it though, because I only checked the "extras" section after completing the game.

I have no idea why these became spoiled, thanks 4chanX

And that's all for now, more to come tomorrow, hopefully, as I tie the loose ends on Mitsuki/Eriko's route and head forth to finish Mio's.

Where can I find a translated version of this game?

>>1140395
See >>1136241

>>1140395
Already been mentioned in the thread. I'm actually going to download this game again on my computer and I'll provide the links that work for me.

>>1140395

It's not exactly rare, you know. 5 seconds in google will give you the answer.

Is it any good?

>>1140501
It's fantastic if you're into story-heavy games. Great music, graphics (for the time), and story. Interesting game mechanics. If you're on the side of the autism spectrum where using a key on a fucking door or using a circular object on a circulur indent in the wall is classified as "a difficult puzzle", then avoid the game at all costs. Otherwise, be ready for an extensive, text-heavy game that is excellent on all fronts.

>>1140513

How good is it if I I just want something for when I want to rub one off?

Is this some kind of epic new mayme?

Yes, the game is good. The porn however is shit and only the most deluded dweeb would call it good.

That's why I watch the American remake.

>The porn however is shit
anons are too desensitized to be capable of accurately rating porn

>>1139768

>>1140531
You need several hours before you even reach the first sex scene and they aren't very long.
Take them as a bonus but they aren't a good reason to play the game for.

>>1140373
Quit misusing spoiler tags. NSFW is not allowed on blue boards, spoilered or not.
And the other images can barely be considered NSFW either. If anything the suicide scene is a legitimate spoiler.

>>1141071
They're slightly NSFW, just barely, it's just to make sure not to upset the mods. That's why I added a NSFW "tag" in the subject. And the suicide scene isn't perceivable by the image alone.

This is going to be a dumb question (And I apologize in advance), but has anyone else had any difficulty getting the music installed?
The directions only said to extract the 7 part music pack into the Yu-No folder, but I'm having 0 luck getting music to work.
I'm downloading the torrent from the TlWiki's mediafire link but it's going to take over 10 hours and at this point I'm almost considering giving up and just playing the game with no music.

>>1141085
Oh anon, the game already has music, and very good music at that. That pack is just different music for the PC98 version.

>>1141089
See, that's what I thought, but when I play the game there's no music (Unless the first few minutes of the game are completely silent).

>>1141090
Have you changed your locale to Japanese?

>>1141092
Yep. I've had it in JP locale for a while now. Everything else about the game runs fine! The sound effects are intact, the voice acting is there, but no music. I'm going to recheck everything before I make a massive idiot out of myself.

>>1141095
Well, sorry to hear.
Just to make sure, you downloaded the Elf Classics version right?

>>1141097
Correct. I basically followed everything on the TlWiki.
In the meantime I'll just play through it with no music for now, and then try and get the PC98 music installed when this torrent finishes.
Thank you for giving me your time, though!

>>1141098
No problem. The only thing I can think of is that your soundcard doesn't support this old fm sound synthesizer, because the music isn't prerecorded .wav files unlike the special effects, it's reproduced using some sound api or whatever it's called. If you have another computer lying around chances are it will probably work.

>>1141095
Are you running the right executive?

>>1141120
Well, upon some experimenting I noticed that the Japanese language .exe's play music just fine. It's when I try loading either of the English .exe's that the music disappears.
That's progress, I guess.

>>1141084
Then leave them unspoiled so people can decide whether they want to risk opening them based on the thumnbnail.
Spoilers will only add to your punishment since they show ill intend.

Music-Challenged Anon here. I reinstalled the Classics hoping that might solve things and somehow, Yu-No now has a MUSIC.ARC file that it (somehow?) didn't have before. I can play with music now and have no idea how it happened or how I managed to bone up installing it properly before.
I haven't floundered about this badly with a Japanese game in a long time, but thank you guys for your help and not laughing at me.

>>1141130

Piece of advice...if you're a mod, dole out the punishment yourself. If not, shut your pie hole.

>>1141139
We have people here complaining about getting spoiled because they can no longer identify real spoilers.

>>1141140
It's alright, I think the mods too care of it, some were deleted.

Has anyone else tried the two other Elf Classics?
I didn't understand enough and got my ass handled.

Finally got the medal, retracing my steps towards Mio's route.
I think I'll choose Mitsuki this time to go with me into Sword's Cape, though I doubt it makes any difference.

This game has such nice pixel art. I love the day/night cycle.

>>1141256
indeed.

Whoa, I just now realized that both the creator and the composer of YU-NO died both in 2011, what an awful and weird coincidence, a young duo like this dying so young. I will probably play Eve burst error after I'm done with YU-NO.

RIP Hiroyuki Kanno and Ryu Umemoto, you will both be missed.

>>1141085
Don't even think about playing the game without the music. The music is easily one of the best parts. It'd be like watching an opera without any music (well not as bad, but you get the point).

Just wait the ten hours. Leave it on in the background (duh) while you masturbate to your k-pop or something.

>>1141290
Anon already solved that issue

>>1141291
He did? The last update he gave was that the Japanese executive worked, that still doesn't mean he can get the english one to work.

>>1141295
See >>1141135

Game won't run on my tablet in portrait mode despite the fact that my horizontal resolution is still well beyond the horizontal resolution of the game. Works fine if I start in landscape mode then rotate back though.

>>1141365
>on tablet
wat

>>1141367
Windows 8 tablet. It's also worth noting that the touch screen works accurately even in full screen mode. Sadly this is kind of hit and miss on retro PC games. Android's DOSbox is more accurate on touch-to-click and if you ask me that's pretty pathetic. Step it up, Microsoft.

However - did you know that on a decent android you can install Windows 98 inside DOSbox?

>>1141380
>However - did you know that on a decent android you can install Windows 98 inside DOSbox?
That probably drains the whole battery in an instant no?

>>1141381
Wellll it's not great for the battery but not any worse than GPU intensive modern games.

>>1139376
eh, funny, I have the same issue with Roller Coaster Tycoon 2.
http://www.gog.com/forum/rollercoaster_tycoon_series/rct2_colors_are_all_funky

>>1141365
Why is the game 16:10 anyway? It doesn't seem like a standard aspect ratio for that time but it also doesn't look squashed.

>>1141447
They probably wanted it to seem cinematic, or to allow for a Win98 style full-screen menu bar.

Why are people suggesting hentai on /vr/ now?

>>1141493
Because it's a retro game?

>>1141493
Why shouldn't they? It's still a retro game. In this case the porn makes up maybe 1% of the content.

>>1141451
>or to allow for a Win98 style full-screen menu bar.
Doesn't really make sense for the PC-98 which had no OS aside from MS DOS.

>>1141504
Porn may make up 1% of the visual content but sexual themes is essentially what the game revolves around.

I think people should be warned it is hentai. Obviously people tried to hide it or not talk about it at the beginning of the thread.

>>1139374
Is there NEC PC version any good? I got a NEC emulator running really smoothly under wine

>>1141524

If you don't mind reading the moon.

>>1141515
>but sexual themes is essentially what the game revolves around.

Nonsense.

>Obviously people tried to hide it or not talk about it at the beginning of the thread.

Why should they talk about it? It's not like people are screaming "THERE ARE SEX SCENES! BEWARE!" at the beginning of every Game of Thrones thread on /tv/.

>>1141515
Should we also warn people that it contains gruesome deaths or are those covered under sexual themes?

>>1141524
You miss out on the additional content from the Saturn version like voices.
I assume you mean the PC-98 because there is no PCE or PC-FX version.

>>1141548
From the wiki
>Other modifications from the PC98 version: - Graphics repainted to use more colors - Animation sequences added - Music rearranged - Character voices added - Two jewels were added (total of 10) - Explicit sex scenes were removed
I might try the Saturn addition if theirs an English patch, as >>1141541 reminded me, I can't into japanese

>>1141564
There is*
Fuck I can't into English either

>>1141564

Afaik only the win version has a translation patch.

>>1141564
>Explicit sex scenes were removed
I'm sure these are available somewhere on The Internet and would probably be of interest to some people who are familiar with the characters

>wander into /vr/ on a spur of a moment
>found a rare Japanese game

Bless you guys and thank you for introducing me to this forgotten gem.

Finished Mio's route, all of the endings were surprisingly underwhelming.

Once again, her fate was death, in all routes she just seems to die.

All for now, tomorrow I'll start Kanna's route. Any thing that I should keep in mind?

>>1141810

Looking forward to your updates tomorrow, anon.

>>1141810
Go for Kaori when the opportunity arises and set a jewel after you used the blue card so you don't have to repeat Ayumi's route.

>>1141785
It's not an ending because it's not the world where you belong.

>>1141814
Thanks Anon, good to know I'm just not posting in vain.
>>1141838
Alright, I'll keep that in mind. I've been actually looking for a way to use that card, but the door is always red. I guess it's just in Kanna's route.

I've heard this is quite highly rated everywhere. I've only played a few VNs/Adventure games, but how does it compare to stuff like (not retro follows) Saya, PW and MLA?

I never expected /vr/ to be apprehensive towards VNs or not know the hentai is only 1% for nearly everything apart from nukiges

>>1141515
OP here.

Dude, I didn't mention the hentai aspect because I forgot about it. It is that insignificant within the grand scheme of the plot. The only overly-sexual aspect is the gratuitous panty shots, but you could find those in non-ero animes, too.

>>1142053
It's better, in my opinion. All the perfect scores online should clue you in.

Dang son, this girl is weird

This game sometimes man.
They could be a little more subtle into providing the player with excuses for naughty business. And then she completely understands, geez louise.

She seriously thought this was my house? I'm seriously starting to think this girl belongs in special ed.

And here she is, lying in bed again. I guess she's just prone to cushions.
More Kanna route later, but so far this girl is just acting like a weirdo. Maybe she is an alien.

>>1143260
Did you forget the rumors that she entered suspicious buildings with men that could well be her father?

>>1143272
I didn't forget, some old dude already approached her

>https://www.google.com/search?q=yu-no

>>1143262
You totally missed out on your chance to use "prone" to also mean lying down.

>>1143405
I'll just go back in time before I made that post. Thanks for the tip brah, enjoy this parallel world.

>>1136172
What's this "yelled love at the edge of the world" faggotry?

It's in this game, it's in evangelion, it's in so much japanese shit.

>>1143335
Oh.

oh no

does anyone know how to go about editing in an item
I fucked up a jewel save for getting a stone disk and I'm not going through all that shit again, if I can't edit it in I'll probably just be done with the game

You can use CTRL to skip dialogue ahead
It doesn't take long to clear a route that way

Oh man, so Kanna is a prostitute? This path is really getting to me, such a sad lonely life she seems to live.

More tomorrow on Kanna's route. I'm about to talk to Eriko about her.

All right! I just finished installing this baby.

Now time to play!

>>1140531
What you're looking for is a "nukige"

Man, the arts in this game are beautiful!

>>1140513
you really need to just walkthrough this game though. Just play normally till you hit an end, and then use a walkthrough from there. The game makes some very annoying design choices especially with half the routes being unbeatable unless you did another route with no way of knowing or even vaguely reasoning that the other route might give you the required item for the route you're on. The places to go to get to the next step is often completely random and has very little to do with the last thing you did. It's pretty messy.
It's not like this setup really bring any benefit to the game either, using a walkthrough pretty much detracts nothing from the 'experience'

Oh wow, I had no idea there'd be YU-NO thread going here. Fantastic game, I'm really looking forward to reactions the second half gives people.

You really should think about not living any more.

This Kaori was just a bitch in the end, judging by the other paths she seemed to have a fondness but in the end it was just opportunistic.

But alas I finally got the Hypersense Stone, I have no idea what to do with it though.
For now I'll go back and finish all the loose ends in Kanna's route, there's a lot of forks in the road.
More later.

THERE WAS ONE CHARACTER YOU DIDN'T NEED TO FUCK MC
ONE CHARACTER
AND YOU FUCKED HER
WHY WOULD YOU FUCK YOUR OWN DAUGHTER JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
I said I'd stop if it happened, but damn it I needed to see what the fuck happened.

>>1144956
She was just using you to get back at Toyotomi.

>>1144960
Among other things it allows you to access the map in situations where you usually could not.

>>1144969
Which daughter?

>>1145238
Yu-no presumable. You don't know Kanna is your daughter when you have sex with her.

>>1143605
>>1143606
Just noticed I messed up the top row of pixels there
I'll see if I can fix it

Small session today, still haven't finished her route. I just hope this leads me to the study room key, because I honestly know no where else to look for it.

>>1143516
Long ago, in the beforetime, people read books.

>>1139894
lol you can learn 75% of kanji in 6 months.
You you only need 1 day to learn kana lol

>>1136197

>>1147106
Nope.

>>1147106
There is one naturist scene with a young Yu-no but no sex with underdeveloped characters.
The OVA has her raped as a kid though.

Kanna is just so cute.

>>1147121
Awesome, that makes my dick hard.

Is there a way to up the resolution without going fullscreen?

>>1148538
Decrease your screen resolution of use the magnifier tool (Windows key + Numpad Plus)

>>1148538

>>1148696
>>1148698
This is my problem with these Japanese home computer adventure games - I want to read the story and solve puzzles, but actual gameplay ends up being some sort of a screenshot-making extravaganza.

Screenshot: Dracula Hakushaku, an adventure game for X68K/PC98 where you're Dracula. You go around biting girls, and you can chose where to bite.

>>1148709
Yep, I can't help myself, this is too good not to take a goddamn picture. Except >>1148698 though, those lines are hilariously bad, and I feel sorry for the great pixel artist that had to color it. Although to be fair I think it's the only instance of bad art in the game, everything else is god tier.

>>1148695
I think so. The alternative would be Keiko but overall it isn't very important.

Heavy spoilers ahead, tread lightly when opening these images.
Man what game am I playing right now, Jesus Christ this part, it's a completely different atmosphere from before, was definitely not expecting this. Which is not to say I'm not enjoying it, but it's just really weird. Oh Japan, only you.

Where do I dump the English translation patch?

>>1149534
C:\Program Files (x86)\Classics\YUNO

So I guess this is almost over, but I'm not sure exactly how long will it take, and there's a lot of things left to explain, so even if it's the ending, I feel there's still one or two hours left to play. We'll see.

Conclusion(?) tomorrow. I think this game will leave me with a big hole in my life left to fill.

>>1149554
More like 5-10 hours, depending on how much of the voicing you skip.

>>1149591
Fuck me
So this is just the tip of the iceberg?

>>1149594
Yes.
I was in the same situation and expected the epilogue to be of similar length to the prologue but there's still a lot to be unravelled or tied up.
Prepare for some long infodumps close to the finale.

The actual ending comes after that. Don't make the mistake to start a new game you've found it.

>>1149606
>Don't make the mistake to start a new game you've found it.
I'm sorry Anon, I didn't understand that sentence

>>1149650
After you finish the epilogue you get the option to start with the best equipment but that will prevent you from seeing the ending.

>>1149554
dem lats.

I'm sorry, what?
This game just lost me.

And now they're casually dressing their daughter like a bimbo, underboob shots and everything. And Takuya even makes some offhanded remarks about his daughter's body. I don't know how much of this amount of Japan I can take before the game loses me completely. This section was already too weird to being with. I guess I just need to remind myself that I am playing a porno game, but I honestly rather they'd dial it down a little bit.

More later on, I guess.
I still like the game, but honestly I'm not too sure about this epilogue.

>>1150501
Beware of the rape elf. She's the most pointless event in the entire game.

>>1150548
This one?
Yeah I don't know what this scene was about.

>>1151043
The game needed more sex scenes and the SM quota wasn't fulfilled either.
I have no idea why they didn't cut her from the Saturn version.

>>1150512
OP here. The epilogue comes out of nowhere, and it feels like they shoehorned another game all of a sudden. The epilogue would be a damn fine story by itself, but it feels unneeded in the grand scheme of the main story.

Still love this game tho. I like how you finally finish this grand quest and get all the gems, only to learn that your adventure is just beginning (well, not really, but it feels like that). Sort of like when you leave Midgar for the first time in FVII.

Anyway, the epilogue is what keeps this from being the perfect game in my eyes.

>>1151206
There are several unanswered questions in the main game. Without the epilogue it would be very incomplete.
Yu-no and Sayless may be innecessary but them Dela Grantia might be a bit empty.

My problem wasn't the length, the infodumping or the surprising turns, it was the change of gameplay back to the instructions from the prologue. You no longer get an inventory or the ability to move around.

>>1151206
Yep, that's how I see it as well, at least so far.
This also just proves how most of the mysticism is lost in stories when they get too deep into it. References to ancient races is fine and all, but when you bang one of them and have a baby the magic flies right out the door.
Throughout the game there was a lot of vague pieces of information but you could kind of could glue things and piece it together without getting too heavy and specific like this.
But again, I still haven't finished it, let's just see how this goes.

>>1151258
I would have been fine with the questions being answered, but they were answered in the complete wrong way. When you answer the dangling plotlines, you're supposed to wrap everything up, not start a whole new plotline in a different setting.

>>1151258
He never said anything about not wanting an epilogue. He just didn't like how it was handled.

>>1151308
I never considered it a different setting. Maybe because I found the memorandum halfway through the main part.

>>1151343
>typical Japanese suburb
>high fantasy land at the edge of the universe
Same setting? No. Pick one.

>>1151371
There are obvious connections the moment you set foot there.

>>1151379
Yes. But that doesn't make them the same setting. Learn the definition of setting.

>>1151384
>the time, place, and conditions in which the action of a book, movie, etc., takes place
It all takes place within the existing framework of time and dimension travel. The worlds are two sides of the same medal.

>>1151409
Not the other guy, but Anon, come on.

>>1151409
A setting isn't necessarily a geographical location.

One thing it annoys me in the this game is the ability they have to suppress the obvious. This is quite clearly Kanna's big sister/mother, and they're just going to drag it out and act surprised later on.

This game mane, sometimes they treat with this deviantart level QUALITY
Where the hell are these pics from, are they patched in from another version?

And then it just shifts into something decent again, but quite clearly this isn't pixel art. But it's pretty rare at least. 99% of the game is absolutely amazing pixel work, but this disparity of quality is pretty jarring.
And, so, yeah, we just ate an humanoid creature, this game just completely jumped the shark. I don't see how anyone can defend this epilogue with a straight face.
Welp, more later on.

>>1154106
It isn't really a surprise or particularly discussed. It's more of a bonus info for people paying attention.

>>1154112
Some of the lower resolution stuff is from the Saturn version where is replaced the sex scenes.

>>1154115
Oh, so these scenes aren't in the original version?
So is the sex canon?

>>1154123
>ate an humanoid creature
I didn't understand why you couldn't have sex with her before she died? She was practically begging you. Couldn't have been more out of place than many of the others.

>>1154123
What canon really? I don't think the Saturn version even questions the sex, they just don't show it.

>>1154134
>Couldn't have been more out of place than many of the others.
You say that as if Takuya was having sex with dying girls beforehand

>>1154136
Kanna after losing her Hypersense stone.

>>1146730
His Instrumentality of Mankind was (somewhat) in NGE.

>>1154142
Well that was different, he didn't know she was dying you silly goose. Also she wasn't in the desert with major wounds and wings turned to shreds. Not exactly a romantic scenario.
And technically speaking, kun-kun was a toddler. That's a whole new can of worms.

>>1154330
She previously stated that her life depended on it.
Kun-kun had attained adulthood at that point.The infancy was the lizard form.

>>1154378
>She previously stated that her life depended on it.
She said it in a way that Takuya perceived as "she really cares for that necklace" not in a way that she would literally die without it. And then she lied when she was being attacked and insisted that the necklace meant nothing to her just so she wasn't a burden on Takuya.

>Kun-kun had attained adulthood at that point.The infancy was the lizard form.

That's like saying thirteen year olds are adults because their bodies achieved maturity.

Anon-kun please, why are you being so adamant about this, sexing a wounded, winged, underage, lizard humanoid in their deathbed doesn't warrant as reasonable behavior.

>>1154417
Don't forget she's also your daughter's pet.
They could have downplayed her wounds before the act.

>>1154447
Amanda was also with us at the time.
There is no end to what's wrong with that scenario.

>>1154106
It surprised me. All you got was a picture of the woman during a single scenario in an extremely long game. By the time I reached this part in the epilogue, I had already forgotten the photo of this woman from the Kanna route.

Welp, finally arrived at the capital. Things are starring to get a bit more interesting and grounded.

So far I have found Yu-no and Ryuuzouji. At first I thought he was Takuya's dad. I guess I'll never properly find that dude..
I'm inside the castle right now. More later on, I get the feeling the game is approaching its conclusion.

I'm convinced that if I keep trying to eat Ayumi that I will eventually be successful.

Will keep you guys updated on my progress.

Does anyone know where I could get, if there is one, English Translation Patch for Eve Burst Error WITH the H scenes (English Version is "All Ages") and its just Ecchi

I want to play the PC-98 version English with h scenes, any help would be appreciated

>>1156280
Doesn't exist sadly, all we've got is the shitty all ages one with the crappy new graphics.

The translation is shit as well, 90's localization style shit.

>>1156283
Fuck. I guess I have to learn Japanese

Wish me luck

Anyone else know of a location besides "romhacking" that has a database of translated games from like PC-98 or PC-FX?

>>1156296
You can filter for PC-98 on VNDB, but if you try to combine with a filter for English releases the search will bug out, so you'd have to check each individual entry to see if there is a translation.

http://vndb.org/r?q=&fil=plat-p98

Can I be a wizard?

>>1156296
I think Pia Carrot is the only completely translated PC-FX game.

>>1156349
thanks

>>1156310
that helps


Cant I just get the PC version of EVE Burst Error and use Chii trans for translating the game?

>>1156351
If you really think chiitrans can translate Japanese into coherent English don't you think it odd that Google, babelfish etc are so shit?

At the very least you'll need to have memorized the two syllabaries and have a moderately strong understanding of Japanese grammar to be able to read through a VN with chiitrans help, and even then it will be painfully slow.

If you're serious about learning Japanese head over to DJT in /a/, but don't expect to be reading VN's any time soon.

My reaction was literally: wat
I mean, it was kinda obvious that it would end up being a girl seeing how they would dance around the gender word so much and Takuya assuming it was a dude, but Ayumi? Seriously, wat.

And now everyone is just showing up. I wonder if Mio is also getting thrown into the mix eventually.

More later on, this epilogue is finally getting interesting.

>>1158121
Remember that after the epilogue you can go through all the main routes again and get the characters 'true' endings.

>>1158128
Can I?
Sweet.
I assumed the epilogue was just the good ending.

>>1158132
Once you've finished the epilogue you can load the save and you'll get the option to start at the beginning with all items, then when you get to each characters good end, rather than being sent back to the start you get a timeskip epilogue for each girl (timeskip as in 'a few months later').

No good end for Mitsukithough. Her life is suffering.

>>1158145
First comes the true end with Yu-no and then you can access the remaining paths, the music room and the happy ends for Mio, Ayumi and Kanna.

>>1158119
I was surprised Kanna didn't show up since she was at the shrine. But maybe it has something to do with multiple versions of the same person being unable to coexist at the same point in spacetime.

>>1158236
I think Kanna was stuck in that dimension for some reason. She kept hinting she couldn't get out, I think.

Anyone here played Desire or Eve Burst Error? How do they compare to Yu-No?

W-what...
Did this just happen?
Did Takuya casually banged his own daughter? I know this is a porno game, but seriously, this was too ridiculous not to sigh. Totally ignored the character's motivations just to find an excuse to give perverts a little smut. This game some times gets the best of me. I really wish this story wasn't in a porno game, these kind of scenes are forced as fuck.

Oh well, let's get past it. More tomorrow, the game now really feels like it's about to end.
I have some questions though, what the hell was the mind control about then? How does that fit in her explanation?
And was there a god empress before her?How did she rose to power?

>>1160105
She always hd a thing for him and his morals had eroded together with his sanity.

>>1159502
Eve Burst Error is good. Play the translated Windows version. It doesn't have Ero scenes, but the VAs/Art/etc is IMO much better than any of its modern remakes.

Desire has a good "male character" chapter, but the "female character" chapter is complete NTR tripe because they apparently forgot what kind of game they were creating. Unfortunately you have to play through it to get the "True ending" of the game (which is also good)

>>1160597
Thank you for butchering that image.

>>1158128
I heard those "true" endings are half-assed. Like the same scene but with two extra lines of dialogue.

>>1160657
It's one additional image and some talk about how you live your future together. They aren't really intended to be more than that, just a wrap up after your their ending had been cut short by dimension travel.
By biggest gripe was that Kanna doesn't move to you and Ayumi.

>>1160687
Who cares what happens to Kanna, she sold her body because she didn't want to live in a orphanage, she's dumb.

>>1160815

I liked it, but felt a lot of it was dated and absolutely screams for a remake.
>Takuya is a relentless numbskull in Ayumi's route and doesn't just spit it out that Toyotomi is using her to steal information from Geotechnics "He's a really suspicious guy."
>Some puzzles are impossible without a guide. See: Mio's route
>unnecessary incest twist after playing through the epilogue and replaying Kanna's route
>Distracting fanservice during dramatic or serious scenes
>Final route removes the fun point-and-click adventure gameplay

In spite of all this, I liked the overall writing and mix of VN and adventure game mechanics. Mio was the best girl and had the best route. If you were wondering where Radiant Historia got its time travel system, you're looking at it.

>>Distracting fanservice during dramatic or serious scenes
That's my main gripe with this game. Fanservice is fun and all, but they really need to tone it down. It's really hard to take this game seriously or recommend it when it has these kind of flaws. The writing is really good, but it's good in spite of all the unnecessary smut they throw on screen.

If this gets a remake, I hope they keep the voiceovers(but doubt it since they were from the Saturn version). Kikuko Inoue(Belldandy, Lust, Japanese Celestia and every anime MILF ever) as Ayumi was godly.

What studio would be best for the remake?

Mitsuki->Mio or Ayumi in either order->Kanna

You can start with Ayumi and then proceed to Kanna. That's what I did.

>fun point-and-click adventure gameplay
fucking autists
that shit was just go around randomly until you find the correct trigger location for 90% of the game, with the forks being a different random trigger location generally during the few times the next trigger was actually in the logical place to be

I think you're done with her whole conversation so the answers were
mind control was just mind erase. Wipe the mind so gradia or whatever could enter the body and do her thing. Doing so left her without memories and really any significant thinking capacity. nothing was said about the previous emporer/ess but she rose to power simply by having the knowledge to operate the machine. How she managed to get to the machine and then show that she understood it to the right people was never mentioned. Where she entered the world was never mentioned either, but given the warrior-chick didn't know about ayumi and the whole desert thing, it's obvious one can enter into different points
