/vr/ - Retro Games

Of course.

Are there any VNs on the level of Yu-no?
Between the dithered art, the excellent sound design and the 90s aesthetics, is there anything that could deliver an experience that comes even a bit close to it in quality?

>>4232254

>>4232249
fan-trans when

>>4232263
It was fan translated years ago. Not the Saturn version though if that's what you mean.

>>4232254
Almost all VNs of that era have the same art style and "aesthetics." I don't think there's anything that comes close to the story though.

>>4232254
Kanon Platform, Enterprise Edition (Kanon EE) builds on the solid foundation of Kanon Platform, Standard Edition (Kanon SE) and is the industry standard for implementing enterprise-class shoujo-oriented architecture (SOA) and next-generation visual novels. The SDKs contain Key AyuShiori Enterprise Server, previously named Key Kanon Shoujo Application Server, and provide support for Kanon EE 5 specifications.

Kanon Platform, Enterprise Edition or Kanon EE is a widely used platform for visual novel programming in the Kanon programming language. The Kanon platform (Enterprise Edition) differs from the Kanon Standard Edition Platform (Kanon SE) in that it adds libraries which provide functionality to deploy fault-tolerant, distributed, multi-tier Kanon visual novels, based largely on modular components running on an application server.

The platform was known as Kanon 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition or K2EE until the name was changed to Kanon EE in version 5. The current version is called Kanon EE 5. The previous version is called K2EE 1.4.

Kanon EE is defined by its specification. As with other Kanon Community Process specifications, Kanon EE is also considered informally to be a standard since providers must agree to certain conformance requirements in order to declare their products as Kanon EE compliant; albeit with no ISO or ECMA standard.

>>4232263
>>4232273
There's not that much difference between the Saturn and PC-98 versions. For what it's worth, the translators have included all the Saturn-only scenes in the tlwiki translation.

Learn Japanese.

>>4232280
I'm working on JLPT N3, but what does that have to do with the subject?

>>4232282
It's always relevant in any eroge thread.

Also good luck. Personally I never took N3, only N4, N2 and N1.

>>4232275
The original PC98 Kanon is the one with dithered art and the true sound though.

>>4232276
You get more saves and an ugly intro that spoils half of the game.

>>4232302
>ugly intro that spoils half of the game.
I saw that on youtube a couple months ago, I was amazed how they could just ruin the game for people like that.
Same deal with the remake to be honest.
It's like they don't realize the true end only works if you don't know what's going to happen.

>>4232290
Thanks anon, my end goal is N1 though. So I still have a solid amount of studying to do.

>>4232312
>Thanks anon, my end goal is N1 though.
Just for your good feeling? Or do you have something in mind that asks for it?

>>4232320
My good feeling and I want to be able to read Japanese novels

>>4232324
You don't need a certificate to read. I've read Dazai without one.

>>4232332
It's more about having a structured method of studying. The certificate is for the feelsies.

>>4232312
>I was amazed how they could just ruin the game for people like that.
Japan has a very, very terrible habit of doing that. Especially eroge developers.

Sengoku Rance's intro; spoils Kouhime joining, several reappearing characters, Sill getting iced, Kentarou and Miki, Miki becoming the Demon King, the Apostles, the final boss theme, the Demon Army, Orochi, and the ending CG of Isoroku's route.

Corpse Party spoils a few deaths, as does Danganronpa, Metal Gear Solid 2 spoils Raiden and Snake teaming up at the end of the game, and so on. I get you should be showing things from the game, but there's a massive difference between making the player think "Oh, she betrays us" and thinking "How the fuck does THAT come about?"

>>4232380
You could use spoiler tags yourself.

>>4232383
The game is a decade old and everyone who wanted to play it has played it. Twice.

>>4232389
Some people want to play through the series in order and 5 and 6 were only translated recently.

>>4232393
The opening movie would've spoiled it anyway so get over yourself.

>>4232398
You could have recommended skipping the intro.
For Yu-no it doesn't work because there's a vital clue in the opening.

I only played the Mom route, a year or two ago, and then it kind of fell to the side for me and I didn't get to finish it. I almost want to start over from scratch, but it's so long to begin with. That having been said, it was incredibly interesting.

>>4232660
Cool, the mom route is easily the weakest though. I recommend giving it another shot soon! It's a great game and I love it.

>>4232660
Keep your save. It's not like you miss anything if you have a partially explored map.
Redoing the prologue shouldn't be necessary since it only introduces the basic characters.

Haven't played this but considering it. How long of a game is it?

>>4232712
40 to 60 hours

>>4232660
If you still remember most of what happened, go ahead and continue from that save file. Otherwise I'd suggest starting from scratch, the game has the most impact when you know exactly what's going on at the end.

>>4232712
Like that other anon said, around 50 hours. There's a 100% complete walkthrough with all dialogue on youtube that's 80 hours though.
Pic related is how long it took me.

In case anyone wants the soundtrack. These include all the 5 CDs that came with the limited edition remake.

>>4232302
>>4232312
So having never played this before, if I go for the saturn version should I skip the intro? By intro you're referring to the opening movie right?

>>4232852
How the fuck do 5 CDs of flac weigh 19GBs?

>>4232249
Why hasn't this been translated yet?

Playing it on the Saturn either emulated or on disk would be amazing

I dunno, I really loved DESIRE (Al's route primarily). Then there was Eve, which was basically DESIRE, reskinned into a hardboiled MalteseFalcon-ish mystery, only with a thrice as much filler, as DESIRE's Al's route had. And then, Yu-No. Which was ANOTHER DESIRE reskin, only with EVEN MORE filler than Eve had. And halfway through the main part of the game (Eriko and mother-in-law chicks done) I was, like, "fuck it a thousand times, I am outta here".

Still, the epilogue intrigues me, and maybe, I'll watch it via YouTube without completing the main part of the game.

That being said, other than Yu-No's epilogue, Xenon and Exodus Guilty still do interest me as well.

>>4232757
>>4232693
>>4232701
I'll probably get back into it when I'm done with F/SN. I really enjoyed what I played of it.

>>4233820
Then just watch the epilogue already.

>>4233608
>>4233802
Why do you want to play the Saturn version?

>>4233793
The files are like 100mb each. But you get what came on the discs untouched, so for the audiophiles this is perfect.

>>4233820
But this game has best girl.

>>4232852
Can you translate the song titles into English?

>>4232254

>>4234349
Oh boy, that's a lot of work. Do you just want the pc-98 music? I'll see if I can translate that today.

>>4234393
Please do. Thank you in advance.

>>4234570
Just finished disc 1, gonna take a break and then do the other one.

>>4234594
Doing Kami-Sama's work

>>4234632
Anon is here to deliver! If you find errors or an incorrect translation, please let me know and I'll fix it.
I might do the other 3 CDs after I've recharged, I feel a bit braindead now.

What was your first playthrough of YU-NO like?

>>4234779
Shiiittt, is that yours? I'm so jealous!
What's the bottom left, regular sega saturn edition? And where did you get that poster?

Pic related, the other books

>>4234779
what are these exactly? can you explain?

>>4234781
At first I came close to giving up during the prologue because it kept dragging on and I don't like the game system.
After finally got through I stumbled through Ayumi's route, wasting my jewels along the way and failing to realize how I could reload with all jewels spent. Pushing on I met the inevitable bad end but from there I gained new clues and comprehension to tackle the rest of the game.

>>4234779
>大人気
I never get whether this word means mature or highly popular.

>>4234793
Not that anon, but:

Top left, novelization
Top right, walkthrough/artbook
Bottom left, I think the regular sega saturn game
Bottom right, Limited edition sega saturn game, came with a mouse
No clue where he got that huge poster from.

>>4234798
Highly popular. dai + ninki, great + popular.

>>4234789

The poster happened to be acquired

>>4234793

梅本竜

There, solved all the autistic romanization debates. If you can't read Japanese you're a subhuman pleb.

>>4234917
I could've written Ryuu, but it really doesn't matter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macron_(diacritic)

>>4234924
Honestly I have no clue how setting up torrents works. You should be fine downloading large files from Mega though.

>>4234805
>Highly popular. dai + ninki, great + popular.
At the same time it's otona + ge, adult + aura.

>>4234935
>>4234937
I don't know chinese, I can't argue ancient cetra linguistic with you folks, but if he credits himself as Ryu Umemoto what's the point of writing it in a different way?
Literally nobody else credits him as Ryū, not even him.

>>4234943
Forgot to link his twitter:
https://twitter.com/ryu_umemoto
>Nice to meet you, this is Ryu Umemoto

>>4234947
He obviously knew how his name's kanji is read - with elongation at the u. Using Japanese-style romanization you can just write "Ryu" and have it express said elongation. In Western texts you can use Western romanization that needs Ryū or Ryuu.

>>4234943
Japanese people tend to such at romanization.
They end with an ugly mix of Hepburn, Kunrei, Nihon-siki and wordpro romanization.

>>4234765
How many CDs are there?

>>4234954
Again, I don't doubt you are 100% correct, but artists usually just pick how they want to credit themselves, and it's best to follow their wishes. Same deal with Ryu Takami

http://vgmdb.net/artist/50
http://vgmdb.net/artist/2379

Doesn't matter anyway, I'm thankful for the OST and translation efforts, just a minor nitpick

>>4234957
5 in total. 2 original, 2 remake and 1 for the "SUPER SOUNDTRACK" and "original sound & voice collection".
I've only translated the original so far.

>>4234943
>>4234962
There's no one way to romanize something, Ryū, Ryu and Ryuu are all correct.
You see people going for Ryu a lot simply because it's a pain to write the ū on a keyboard, but I wanted to preserve the Japanese pronunciation, thus my choice to make it Ryū.

>>4232254
I would say Policenauts and there's a translation for the PS1 version. You can emulate that

>>4232852
You're pretty good, anon

>>4234983
There's a Saturn translation as well

>>4234976
>because it's a pain to write the ū on a keyboard
That's why I use Ryû.
If you want to get weird looks you have to use Ryuh.
In the end you can even replace R with L.

What are the differences between YU-NO versions?

>>4234297
>so for the audiophiles this is perfect
Unless the files are 96kHz 32bit and the drive used for reading the CD's used a gold-plated laser they won't be satisfied.

>>4235005
>PC-98

>Saturn
added a couple scenes, intro movie and voice acting. sound design wasn't handled by the composer

>Windows

>TLwiki translation
Based on the Windows port, but added in everything from the Saturn release, as well as including high definition audio.

>>4235010
I even ripped it during a full moon.

>>4235018
>Straight port from the PC-98
No. They added censorship to various CG. Plus the sound was limited to mono.
The fan patch removed the censorship and allowed stereo sound.

>>4235018
>Straight port from the PC-98

Nah.
>画像と音楽がPC-98版と同等になっているが、移植時の倫理規定にあわせ最低限の修正がなされた。PC-98版に存在した近親相姦を思わせるシーンがメーカーの自主規制により削除され、主人公とYU-NOの関係をあらわす単語、YU-NOの年齢が読み取れる数字が伏せられている。

>>4235005
No reason not to play the windows fan patch. It adds all the extra junk from all the various versions

>>4235020
>>4235021
Welp, I stand corrected.

>>4235018
>I even ripped it during a full moon.
NOOO! You should have used the recent eclipse to rip it, to prevent interference from sun spots!

>>4235021
Seems weird when you consider incest and loli stuff wasn't very common in the PC98 days and mainly regained popularity around 2000.

>>4235068
I live in Europe, so that wouldn't have been an option. I'll wait till the 2026 eclipse to rip it again.

How was the YU-NO remake?

>>4235393
you can probably guess

I don't know how you can manage to downgrade graphics in a remake, I guess it takes great skill

>>4232275
AKA everyone looks like they got the downs: the game. Also, literally 'it's magic, don't gotta explain shit' writing.
This game got popular for its calendar system, otherwise it's overhyped.

>>4235393
I've played an hour of it so far, the environments look nice but the character design is so bad you want to gouge your eyes out.
It's probably way more censored too.

>>4235817

Soundtrack anon here, just giving a heads up that I've started translating the other CDs.

I want to play Yu-No in fullscreen, however it applies bilinear filtering automatically and completely ruins the sharp image + dithering effect I was enjoying. Any way I can fix this?

>>4236743
You're doing gods work <3

>>4236862
Not that I know of. It would also pretty neat if we could remove the black bars.

I'm surprised the tlwiki guys didn't bother trying to fix that since they bent over backwards and addressed every other problem the windows version had, and somehow I doubt fixing this would be that much of a problem, but I don't really know to be honest.

>>4236906
I'm pretty sure I can get it working using DxWnd. It works in windowed 1280x960 but not in fullscreen.

I think the native resolution is actually 640x400 though, so I'm going to experiment with it a bit. My goal is to get it 1080p fullscreen but maintaining aspect ratio and sharpness.

>>4236917
>maintaining sharpness
Good luck with that when the images are this size.

>>4236921
This is what I get when setting the res to 1920x1200 (should be 3x native unless I'm retarded).

I think it's being scaled down as I only have a 1080p monitor, so 1200 width is too large for it. I'm not 100% certain its scaling everything properly but it's a start.

>>4236932
That doesn't look too good unfortunately. I made a wallpaper out of the menu screen, I think it looks a bit better than just upscaling like that.

Edit: Can't upload it because the file size is too big. I think if you upscale all the images with something like waifu2x it will already look a lot better than that.

>>4236942
It's messy. I've had success getting it *almost* perfect at 1280x800 and 1920x1200, however it's definitely scaling shit wrong. It shouldn't be doing this, but it's stretching the whole image horizontally and it looks really poor.

I'm going to kepe trying though. The guy behind DxWnd is extremely active on his sourceforge page though, so I can probably ask him for help if it doesn't scale 1:1 like it should.

>>4232249
>This is pretty retro, right?
retro
retra
retar
retard

Yes, you are.

>>4232249

>>4234392
Tsukihime is good, major problem is it being a doujin game which means it has very few cgs and sprites.

If the art was better it would be 9/10

>>4236956
Cool, keep us up to date on how it's going.

I only have the file names left to change and then I'll upload the translated soundtrack.

>>4236958
Kek, it's really a shame how they completely managed to ruin the appeal of the characters

>>4236963
Will do. It'll make a much more pleasant reading experience so I'll be happy to share if I can make it work.

Here's a close up of the scaling problem. DxWnd is stretching it one way but not the other, it seems.

>>4236968
Fuck, got the captions the wrong way round. Native is on the right, DxWnd the left.

>>4236968
It looks slightly more accurate when run at 640x480 or a multiple of that resolution. It's still not perfect as there's stretched pixels still, but it's MUCH closer to the original than other attempts.

>>4236956
I asked him about that last year:

https://sourceforge.net/p/dxwnd/discussion/general/thread/9f3436d5/

>>4236968
>>4237010

Actually, ahaha I see you posted in the thread.

>>4237016
I'm near certain that everyone who has tried to play Yu No natively will have found that thread at some point lol.

Sadly, no more luck on my end so I'm waiting on the creator's response.

I present to you, the complete soundtrack collection translated to English:

https://mega.nz/#!4rYB1ISa!CksFmCzzcZF4SiOR8zY_ib_U0Blyfo8ch1kdp6BzQr0

>>4237064
Can't you post the new filenames to pastebin? I'd rather not download it again and would prefer copypasting English filenames if possible. Or did you also modify into English the metadata within the files themselves?

>>4237092
Eeyup, metadata is modified as well

>>4237064

On the DxWnd front, best I have so far is running it windowed at 960p.

The ideal scenario would be having it fullscreen in either 960p, or 1440p with the sides trimmed to make it display nice on a 1080p monitor. 960p windowed is pretty playable though, and I prefer it to the blurry mess I get otherwise (thanks Nvidia).

This game must look amazing on a CRT

>>4237496
Who is that qt?

>>4237587
Yuka Takeuchi from Variable Geo

While this is a pretty good game, still nothing can come close to 街~運命の交差点~ (Machi: The Intersection of Fate) as far a writing goes. That has some of the best and most memorable lines I've seen in a VN and I've played almost every one of the old school Sound Novels there are on FC/SFC/PSX/Saturn/etc. Even the sequel to Machi, 428~封鎖された渋谷で~ was amazing, but who know what the fuck Famitsu was thinking giving it a perfect score, there are definitely some gameplay features that are really fucking annoying. But those aren't in anime style use still images of real actors.

Actually a pretty unknown game outside of Japan is the Yarudora series, you can find it on PSX or on PSP whichever you prefer. They have that 90s anime feel to them and I know most people that play VNs play it so they have some cartoon girls to wank off too and don't give a shit about anything else so the latter game would be right up that alley.

One thing I've noticed in a lot of these threads is people just bitching about Japanese or trying to sound like the authroity above everyone else and not really going around knowing or recommending other similar games or talking about them

>>4235080
I beg do differ most of the really "controversial games" came out on the PC98 which had stuff like rape, torture, incest, loli, all that degenerate crap

I don't know anything about playing or emulating these old japanese computer games.

Can anyone spoonfeed me how to get and play an english translation of Yu-No? It looks cool.

>>4237735
What controversial games? 177 was on PC98 but also on PC88 and others.
Saori was controversial for not being censored not for having incest.

>>4237767
You can get the game off erogedownload and then get the translation and patches here https://tlwiki.org/?title=YU-NO_-_The_Girl_that_Chants_Love_at_the_Edge_of_the_World

Enjoy!

>>4237774
thanks

>>4237813
I'd recommend playing it blind for the first 1-2 routes, just soak in the atmosphere.

>>4237823
>that tfw when I can't play the game blind for the first time ever again

>>4237865
It's one of the few games I wish I could forget, just so I can play it for the first time again.

>>4237727
Really want to play this. Chunsoft is goat-tier

>>4237919
You should play through the earlier Chunsoft games before Machi so you can get an idea how much it changed (mostly from purple transparent silhouettes to actors). I was really surprised to see the new game they put out for PS3 I forget what it's called but it's pretty much a mix of Otogirisou and Baroque Syndrome

>>4237970
Unfortunately I don't read moon-runes

DxWnd dev is a helpful dude. The game plays/looks great in 960p windowed and 960p "kinda fullscreen but not really". The latter is mostly fullscreen although the taskbar is still showing. Sadly, it looks like there's no way to get true fullscreen (ie without the taskbar) but I'd argue this is better than the default windowed/fullscreen modes in the game.

My endgame now is to make it run in 1440p. The game has thick black bars at the top/bottom, so you'd essentially lose nothing if you were to crop them to run on a 1080p monitor. This would basically let you play the game in proper fullscreen, albeit with the pesky taskbar still there (can always hide it if it's really annoying I suppose).

>>4238238
I might be being retarded about the black bar thing. It would still crop a littttle bit of the game window, but possibly not enough to disrupt gameplay.

> Settings for 960p (fullscreen with taskbar)
> Main settings tab:
-'Run in Window' checked
-'Hide desktop background' checked
-'Keep aspect ratio' checked
-'Desktop center' mode selected
-Under 'Window initial position & size', set W = 1280 and H = 960

> Video settings tab
- Under 'Window style' select 'modal'

And that should be all you need to do.

> Settings for 960p (windowed)
Same as above, however uncheck 'Hide desktop background' and keep the Window style as 'default' in the video tab.

>>4238265
Can confirm I'm being completely retarded about the black bar thing. Unfortunately the black bars aren't large enough, so playing it at 1440p on a 1080p monitor would result in a not insignificant portion of the image being cut from view.

>>4238072
They translated Kamaitachi no Yoru recently into English and the translation is pretty good, and that's coming from someone who is a translator and has played almost every iteration of that game, I was really impressed how close it was to the original (besides obvious changes to American pop culture references and character names, professions, etc.). You can probably just download it so check it out if you have the time.

>>4238595
Ah shit I forgot to say the Kamaitachi translation is called Banshee's Last Cry

>>4235020
>They added censorship to various CG
The CG? I knew they had to censor text because of Sofurin's anti-incest regulations during that period of time but what did they do to the CG?

>>4238935
ok maybe I should read at least one more post before posting a reply brb kysing self

>>4238935
>>4238937
The censorship to the CG is kinda dumb, since there's nothing really to see with the bits they censored.

>>4239231
It censors full frontal dicks and vaginas what are you saying m8

>>4239283
Those didn't exist in Elf games after 1992.

>>4239303
Yeah they're censored
Either with the light saber or just making them invisible

>>4239283
Go look at the art on sadpanda, those don't exist.

>>4238072
LOL at your life.

>>4239306
I'm not aware that Elf ever drew penises.

>>4239329
invisible
[in-viz-uh-buh l]
adjective
not visible; not perceptible by the eye:

>>4239283
>>4239306
>>4239335
>it censors invisible dicks

>>4239335
They never drew nude males so there are no full frontals with invisible penises.

>>4239349
So the invisible dicks and the air guitar fellatio were an artistic choice? Not self-censorship? Well, I learn something new every day.

>>4239353
Yes. Elf, like other companies, didn't censor their games before the Saori incident. And unlike other companies they didn't draw dicks and instead focused completely on the females.

>>4239353
At this point you're just being offended to be offended mate.

>>4239380
>offended
?

>>4238265
The black bar thing is not a big deal. If you get the game to run in fullscreen with nearest neighbor + integer scale it's already good enough

Bump

Is the anime still happening? It seems like nothing shown since the announcement.
http://yu-no.jp/anime/

>>4241523
Haven't heard anything since the announcement. I think some anon recently said it's scheduled for 2018, but I don't know where he got that info.

>>4241537
It obviously can't air in 17 any more so 18 is a decent guess.

>>4239359
>before the Saori incident.

Explain?

>>4241609
The public realized that many eroge weren't censored because a kid got caught shoplifting a game named Saori.

>>4241553
There's also the manga that's currently being released. I think they're at 3 chapters now.

>>4241696
How is the YU-NO manga?

>>4241701
No clue, haven't read it.
Apparently they're up to 6 chapters now.

http://www.comic-clear.jp/comic.aspx?c=60

>>4237064
What a trooper
Thanks anon

>>4241705
Ripping it doesn't seem to be very easy, the reader cuts every page into 6 parts that you'd have to put back together.

What a shame.

>>4241705
>>4241907
If someone manages to find a good way to rip it, that would be much appreciated.

>>4241523
Wasn't there an anime adaptation from a year or 5 ago already?

>>4242019
There was a hentai pretending to be a Yu-no adaption in the 90s. Ignore it unless you want to know just how badly you can fuck things up.

>>4242027
>there was a hentai pretending to be a Yu-no adaptation
Kekked hard. It's odd how it has almost nothing to do with the original game.

>>4242027
>>4242028
Worse than tsukihime?

>>4242062
They made it into a fantasy story where Takuya can visit alternate universes via a magical ring. It's basically an excuse to have all the girls have sex with each other.

How bad was Tsukihime?

>>4242474
And the sex scenes are like a minute long so it's not even good fap material.

>>4242540
I swear to god when skipping through it I barely noticed any sexscenes, that's why.

>>4242474
well, it can't be worse than Yu-no's anime because it doesn't exist

This game truly was something else, I badly want to make a God Hand edit comic out of it, but I'm not sure how to do it.

>>4243939
Every time I see him, inside or outside the game, I just get so mad.

>>4243952

I still found it funny how even when I was doing other routes, this fucker would appear and waste my time more so.

Made me hate him even more.

>>4243954
I played the Ayumi route first, completely blind. So whenever he showed up for other routes it just reminded me of all the shit he pulled.

Nothing will ever feel as good as that lead pipe end he got

>>4243959

I found Takuya beating him up was better, but it ultimately lead to Ayumi's death.

Also, that slap actually got to me. That whole section when you don't have the picture is heart breaking.

>>4243960
Ayumi was a grade-A dummy though, should have listened to Takuya instead of thinking everything that happened was fine.

I try not to post anything from the epilogue, so people can still go in blind and don't know what will happen, maybe something you'd like to keep in mind?

>>4243949
>first panel: some remark about only having 16 colors, or its age, or just being dismissive because it's an eroge and wanting to get your dick wet in a hurry

>second panel: kicking the coffee cup away revealing eriko's crotch

>third panel: juggling multiple jewels and revealing branching timelines

>fourth panel: you become adam and eve and reset the cycle of creation

Now I want to do it.

>>4243964

She was being lead by Toyotomi mostly, didn't know his ulterior motive and just thought you were being a brat that hated the guy for no real reason.

Also I get ya, I saw that image before I even got to the epilogue and just assumed it from some other scene, like where he's with Mitsuki on the grass. It's not too much of a spoiler.

I'll spoiler them from now on though.

>>4243974

I was thinking more

1st panel
>"Hmm, well this game has some pretty ugly ass anime graphics. I wonder what the fuss is abou-"

2nd panel
>"HOLY SHIT THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME" Checking all the timelines through the Reflector

3rd panel
>"OH MY GOD IM FUCKING MY STEP MOTHER JESUS CHRIST"

4th panel
>"FUCK YES YOU ARE THE BEST DAUGHTER EVER"

But it's got some pretty big spoilers, so it could possibly ruin stuff for the new players.

>>4243987
Yeah but that only really reveals all the superficial aspects of the game. Of course you're entitled if all the sex stuff is what made you really appreciate the game but what really made it for me was all the rest. "haha i fucked my mom and daughter" just makes it sound like it's another dumb gratuitous eroge

>>4244006

I was thinking more on making the comic as funny as the God Hand one, but you're right. If one were to read that, it would probably be amusing but it would be dismissed as another eroge game instead of what it actually is.

I was just trying to think of how it would sound ridiculous, funny and interesting, such as the original God Hand comic does, but I guess it would just turn out to be really stupid.

>>4243975
Thanks, I don't want to be too much of an ass about it, but it's nice if people who haven't 100%ed this game yet can somewhat safely browse these threads. Same reason I don't post the second half of the Mio route.

>>4244017

>>4244025

Nah, I get ya. I get pretty pissed when people spoil video games like Ghost Trick for people who haven't played it, so it's totally fine.

>>4244031
>Ghost Trick
Finished it this summer, now that's a 10/10 game.

>>4244036

It's in my top three along with God Hand and Skies of Arcadia, finished it when the game came out since I knew about it from it's trailer back in 2011.

Funnily enough, I finished Yu-No this summer well, August 30th, but summer none the less, so go figure.

So did you discover this game /vr/?

For me I found this OST on youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CksDGYA9DUQ

After I listened to it, I badly want to play the game, the music was so great that I wanted to see what it was from. It took me years to play it due to forgetting it existed. Still not sure what sparked me to just straight up download and play it, but I'm assuming it was a thread like this. I vaguely remember a thread on the front page of /vr/ saying "Lets discuss the best VN ever made" and I just decided "Fuck it I'm gonna play it today" and that's what I did.

>>4244085
>Lets discuss the best VN ever made
I probably made that thread then. I think I discovered the game in a VN thread a fair while ago and decided to just focus on playing that.

I remember going in not knowing much more than it being a mystery story with some time travel aspects, boy was my mind blown.

I've been a Yu-no fanatic ever since.
That's also why I make those threads every once in a while. Every thread you get 2-3 people asking if the game's any good and that they'll play it.

>>4244091

Yeah I imagine you were the same guy on a /v/ thread back in July, that said "I'm autistic enough to make threads about a dead game every once in a while. You'll see this thread again someday." Could be wrong though.

It's good to obsess over something, it means it'll never die out. I do the same for a lot of the old vidya I love, and Yu-No is no exception, I'm trying to actively shill the game to friends online and offline by playing the OST and discussing how there's going to be an anime soon.

>>4244017
I'll finish it later
Still unsure about the 4th panel

>>4244108
Holy shit this is great

>>4244104
No, that's me. And I think there's always a point in shilling games like this, even if they were completely dead. It's a seminal game in the VN/point-and-click adventure genres and that should be enough reason to promote it and discuss it. Honestly everyone who is into either of those genres should have at least tried to play this game.

About the anime though, I'm not sure how good it will be. The artstyle is pretty much that of the remake, which isn't very well liked and they will probably neuter a lot of the more edgy content. I've browsed through the manga a bit and found that to be alright-ish so far.

>>4244085
One day, in fall 2014, I decided to browse eroge music on YouTube, just to hear what it was generally like. Most of it was average-to-good with appropriately accessible and catchy melodies, but then I clicked on a YU-NO track.

From the way the chord progressions and melodies were constructed, I could instantly tell it was made by someone with a VERY high intelligence. Like, I predicted that nothing I would read about the composer would surprise me. A few frantic Google searches later I was reading articles about Ryu Umemoto, whose math skills and work ethic were described therein:

https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/178187/memorial_composer_ryu_umemoto.php
http://www.originalsoundversion.com/r-i-p-ryu-umemoto-1974-2011-memories-of-a-friend/

>This was also due to how Umemoto employed math in his music. Starting with EVE, his music was composed on Zen foundations, with scale and key changes applied at the rising or decreasing angle of either a temple or mountain of spiritual importance, or with time signatures corresponding with meditative breathing rhythms and lucky numbers.

After first clearing a couple of games I was still in the middle of, I played YU-NO, and not only was the soundtrack amazing but I also loved the story, convoluted but doable gameplay, pixel art, basically everything.

>>4244108

>that third panel

Oh man, that's great. But try to make Takuya look less like Toyotomi if you can. Honestly thought it was him for a second.

>Still unsure about the 4th panel

Your idea of the final scene was fine, but if you don't want to spoil the game. You could look to other comics for some help.

>>4244116

Yeah, the anime might not be great but if it keeps the story intact and does all the routes (instead of just one main route a lot of VN to Anime's do) it could be fine.

>>4244163
Yeah, the anime might not be great but if it keeps the story intact and does all the routes (instead of just one main route a lot of VN to Anime's do) it could be fine.

They would have to include all routes, because each one contributes to the overall story and foreshadows the epilogue.

>>4232276
Those legs, man

>>4244197
The question is how many episodes they get.
In a single cours they can't do much more than handle the prologue and a single linear route.
In a second cours they could mix up the other routes.
The epilogue might be best served as an OVA/movie.

>>4244131

This reads like the start to a copypasta, kek

>>4244197
>>4244205
I'm thinking they'll go about it the way they usually do for VNs. One route fully explored and then the others follow with the events in between that we already know about only mentioned briefly.

>>4244202
I know right. I wish I had saved the comparison, but in the remake those are just sticks.

>>4244108
I think I'm done

>>4244476

It's perfect anon. Thanks for actually listening to my post and making this thing. It's much better than anything I could've done.

Only thing you can do now is extra stuff, like making Evening a bit more detailed in the background, but it's fine as is.

>>4244476

I played it on Sega Saturn when the version came out in 1997, after becoming a fan of elf from their previous Saturn releases (Nonomura Byouin, Doukyuusei, Kakyuusei) and coming to like eroge and galge in general. I was buying Saturn Fan magazine every month at the time; that was my main source of info on upcoming games.

>>4244773
A shame she didn't get her own route.

>>4245348
Do you know anything about Dragon Knight/Word Worth for the Saturn?
It seems they originally announced a DK game for the Saturn that some time during development was turned into the WW remake which ultimately wasn't even released on the Saturn despite cutting out most of the porn.

>>4246021
I've heard the same thing that Word Worth was planned for Saturn but I don't remember there being anything in Saturn Fan about it at the time

So how many of you actually got out a pen and paper to solve this, or did you cheat?

>>4246068
I did it without finding the laptop at the corpse in the same room. I took screenshots of the puzzle to solve it in MS Paint so I could also mark empty squares, and of the clockface in Arima's room (to reference the number symbols). For the final puzzle just before entering the epilogue, I had to use more advanced MS Paint editing trickery to successfully merge the mirrored patterns.

>>4246068
I regret cheating at it
It was such a neat puzzle

>>4246108

I thought finding the laptop was the only way to activate the puzzle?

As for me, I wrote it all on my desk in pencil Pic related and went from there. Took me an hour, first I had to work out what the symbols meant and only noticed once I put the wrong squares into the laptop, and then I noticed that the design needed to be symmetrical in some form.

Had a lot of fun working it out though.

>>4246109
I should have played the bonus disk first. Eriko's tutoring helped to understand the puzzles.

>>4244085
>So did you discover this game /vr/?

#1 on Fuwanovel

>>4246068
I actually don't remember. I think I figured out the method of solving it and then just pulled up the answer sheet.

>>4246068
>people actually complained about this puzzle being too difficult

This is my favorite thread on /vr/.

I played through it about 3 years ago? Left an impression in me. All the girls had soul, all the scenes were pretty (Besides the hanging one). I got scared, I got excited and ultimately had to resort to the walkthrough since I ended up being killed by Mitsuki over and over again. Still, with the walkthrough, I still got about 60 hours in (I´m a slow reader.). Nothing has been the same since, really. No other VN had this much depth to go along with humor. Why did the MC bone like 90% of women he met? I mean, during the second part (after the puzzle) he pretty much fucked anyone he talked or "saved". That was a bit weird.

Anyways, who is best girl in your opinion /vr/? Will you also try the remake?

>>4246441
>Anyways, who is best girl in your opinion /vr/?
There can be only one.

>Will you also try the remake?
I have it, but I'm waiting till my Japanese has improved sufficiently to read through it.

>>4246461
>I have it, but I'm waiting till my Japanese has improved sufficiently to read through it.

It won't happen if you wait.

Truly a shame this can only be played translated on a windows machine.

>>4246495

>>4246019

>>4246808
Even in Japanese it's the best option since you won't get the Saturn voices on the PC98.

I've been curious about this game for a while but apparently it's about 50 hours for a playthrough. Is that doing all the routes or just one? Because I dont have that sort of time for a vn, but if I can just play one route, wait some months, play another route, etc. then I can maybe give it a shot. How long is the average route in this game?

>>4246897
Each individual route shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. Before you're allowed to enter a route though you have a 1-2hour linear intro.

I plan to play this game. Aside from banging girls, what is it about?

>>4246906
Banging girls is actually a fairly minor part of the game. It's more about solving the mystery of your father's disappearance and the mysterious package you receive.

Can anyone here share a save file, made rrrrright at the beginning of the epilogue (you know, with "Is this Japan? Is this not Japan?", first meeting with Sayless, etc.)?

>>4246897
>>4246902
There's 4 routes in the main portion of the game, each one takes 8-10 hours. Significantly less if you use a walkthrough. The pacing is really good, as there's surprisingly little filler or repetition (aside from one branch that duplicates half of Kanna's route). After that comes the epilogue, which is somewhat longer than any main route.

I just read the short story this game was inspired by, I didn't fully get it, but here is a summary:
1/2
The story includes many seemingly unrelated threads told in omniscient narration, ultimately connecting them with offhand mentions and details. The threads can be categorized as: events on earth, events in an alien community known as the Concord, and descriptions of non-physical concepts.

A man, William Sterog, goes on a killing spree. He poisons two hundred people with an insecticide stolen from a pest control man, kills a hundred people on a jet flight by means of a time bomb planted in his mother's suitcase, and shoots 44 people on the stadium with machine gun, before he is arrested.

In presumably the far future, an expedition from Earth discovers a new planet with a 37-foot-tall (11 m) statue on it. The statue has an alien but beatific face. The figure is wearing a toga and grasping a strange object. The narration notes that the statue's expression is the very same that Sterog had when the judge sentenced him to death at his final court hearing.

The narration then goes on to describe a concept known as "Crosswhen" which it described as possibilities, outcomes, distance, and time all "beyond human thought."

>>4247885
2/3 (oops)
Next, a violent and insane seven-headed dragon is captured and "drained" using a technique invented by an alien man named Semph. The dragon is described as being "crosswhen" to another subject referred to as "the maniac." The narration leaves it ambiguous to whether or not the maniac and the dragon are two distinct beings or perhaps even two distinct consciousness of the same mind. Semph talks with his rival, Linah, about the nature of the "draining." Semph argues that draining has possible consequence to others elsewhere while Linah, arguing on behalf of a community known as the Concord, argues that it is a necessary risk to insure their own survival, even at the expense of others. The dragon is drained and the remnant, left behind following the draining, is a man. Semph then reveals that he has sent the drained aspects ("dangerous essences") elsewhere, not contained in a tank as planned. He alludes to these elements as part of an unelaborated "field." A panicked Linah demands to know where the aspects have been sent to.

The narration goes on to tell of the historical meeting between Pope Leo I and Attila the Hun in 452. The details of the meeting are uncertain, but the result was that Attila did not attack Rome as he had done to other cities. The narration notes that the city had been attacked forty years earlier by Alaric the Goth and three years later by King Gaiseric. The narration implies connection of these actions (and Attila's inaction) as connected to the "field" and the drained mind of the seven-headed-dragon with randomness through time (or Djam Karet).

>>4247887
3/3
Semph is tried by the Concord, and is sentenced to be executed for his actions during the draining. In a final conversation with Linah, the nature of the draining is revealed to be extraction and condensation of insanity into a vapor-like form, from organisms. The vapor is usually sent outside Concord's domain (referred to as "the center") and sent elsewhere (referred to as "out there"). While Semph was against this protocol for the possibility that it affected other races (i.e., people on Earth), Linah sided with it to safeguard the Concord. The field mentioned earlier is a metaphysical entity that pulses with violence and madness; the aliens beings of the Concord have been "draining" madness from their world and sending it to the Earth. As per tradition, after the execution, Linah builds a memorial for Semph which is implied to be the statue mentioned earlier.

The last thread deals with a near-mad man who finds a box in the ruins of a city as he searches for food. He opens the box, releasing a wisp of purple violent smoke into the air, likely the vapor. The next day World War IV starts.

Is the game's plot anything like it?

>>4247267
Okay, another question. What's the SHORTEST POSSIBLE way to get from NewGame+ (already having full reflector and hypersense stone) to the start of epilogue? I wake up at the foot of Sword Cape. Then what exactly?

>>4248057
1. Go to Koudai Arima's study. (Open it with the key.)
2. Open the clock (open the glass by clicking the left edge, press buttons 6 then 3)
3. Read Koudai's memorandum (it's on top of the horizontal bar at the ceiling)
4. Leave the study and go to Sword Cape. The cave opening should open.
5. Go forward, straight to the stone gate and through it. You're asked for the solution of a riddle; the solution is in an image file provided with the fan patch and is in the game directory. Uploaded it for convenience.

>>4248072
Thank you.

>>4248072
That worked. Thank you once again.

So what was the deal with Kaori? I never understood her character beyond "she was trying to get a scoop"

There were four opportunities where she was a big part of the story, and each of them had her being a different character almost.

>Gives you the picture of Toyotomi talking to Yakuza's at the end of Ayumi's route because?
>If you give her the 20th page, she lets you inside and you get the Secret Documents but I've honestly forgotten what they were for.
>Knocks Toyotomi out in the Ayumi route if you show the picture because he failed at this job?
>If you go in the adjacent room in Geo Technics she betrays you because she needed a patsy for the stone same with grabbing the stone
>If you don't pick up the stone Takuya acts as if he's some hotshot who worked out the whole plan of her betraying you and uses it to your advantage

I might've missed stuff though, could someone explain?

>>4248341
She's a corporate spy posing as a news reporter who once had an interview with your dad and has a soft spot for you because you're his kid. That's really all there's to it.

>>4248421

So all the stuff she did was basically just a motive she had that kept a secret from you.

So if betraying you would benefit her, she would do it no matter what. Otherwise if helping you with the photo wasn't going to affect her either way but was a nice gesture, she'd do it?

>>4248425
Yes

>>4244091
>>4244116
Whoa whoa whoa, don't take credit for the only thing I've ever achieved in my life. I was the one who made the first Yu-No thread that broke bump-limit in like 2013. Gotta thank the guy who made all those .gifs for keeping the thing alive. I think the megaupload for those are still lying around somewhere, as I see him posting it in these threads sometimes.

>>/vr/thread/S1136172
Here's the thread. Everyone seemed to be on the fence on it at first and was having trouble getting it to run or dismissing it as a "porn game". It's a surprisingly comfy read after all this time. And I'm glad we've developed a small dedicated fanbase for this game here since then.

>>4248674
>2013
I never claimed credit for that. The guy was talking about the "Let's discuss the best VN ever made" threads.

So during the part where Ryuzoji ties you up and Eriko seems to have been dead and raped. Ryuzoji says that he "took something special from her" Was he implying she was a virgin (since there was blood coming down her leg) or did he mean her lover?

Was kinda confused by this since you fuck her in a locker

>>4248684
I don't know man, how do you know he wasn't mentioning that thread specifically? My thread also says it is the best VN ever made

>>4248702
Because that's the literal title of the threads I made on /v/. Anon also said he finished the game recently. Why are you so hung up on this?

>>4248691
She only gives you a handjob in the locker. She's literally so pure she hasn't even slept with the man she loved.

>>4248706
I'm not though

>>4248708

Oh shit, guess I was so shocked that they would do something like that in a locker with Mitsuki and Ryuzoji in the room along with the screenshot of her up against the locker made me think otherwise.

>>4248712

If it makes you feel any better anon. This >>4244085 was how I discovered Yu-No. I only played it due to that thread in 2017.

>>4248674
Drama aside, could you find a link for the gif archive? Those are great to look at.

>>4248714
So yeah, I think the interpretation is that he took her virginity. But you could interpret it that he meant that he took her lover, they both make sense.

Eriko truly is the bestest of best girls though.

>>4248721
Yeah, sure.

>Gotta thank the guy who made all those .gifs for keeping the thing alive.
Heh, finally starting to see some appreciation around these parts!
Thanks Anon, if you didn't make the thread though I wouldn't have played this beautiful game.

What a small world, I get this feeling more and more that we're like just 3 turbo nerds posting in /vr/ all these years.

>>4248764
Considering how it seems only 10 people on 4chan have ever played this game, it does seem like that yes. Even that guy who made the youtube playthrough posts in /v/ threads sometimes.

Those animated bits are from the Saturn version I think.

I've started watching the OVA, it's impossible to describe how bad it is.

>>4248904
Nice very nice

>>4248764
>>4248863
Glad to see you guys! I guess that's what I like about /vr/, despite the memes it does feel like a relatively consistent community of members.

I remember other fun threads like when we discovered the lost game Chu-Teng and ripped it to the web, or when everyone fell deep into some unofficial FFIV mmo for a month. Cozy board.

>>4249075
I want those two hours of my life back. Holy shit do I regret this.

I would pay top fucking dollar for an Android port

>>4249987
I would kill to be able to play this game for the first time again.

>>4250013
I'm playing it for the first time. I don't know what to expect, I'm not too much of a fun of visual novels myself but so far it's not giving me a reason to quit.

>>4248726
What is it about Eriko's personality that makes her the best?

>>4246441
>All the girls had soul,

What do you mean by soul?

hi guys, I'm trying to run YU-NO but I get an error that I need at least 256 color display and graphic accelerator and compatibility settings don't help no matter how I set them up

I'm using Windows 7 if it might mean something

>>4251013
Have you tried messing around with the properties settings?

>>4251019
yes, like I said compatibility settings didn't help no matter how i set them up

>>4251013
Have you applied the english fan patch yet?

>>4251092
nevermind, I set it up in a VM, though the beggining of the text seems to look weird

>>4251124
Are you using a Japanese Windows or have you set your locale to Japanese?

>>4251128
changed it to japanese locale, look fine now, thanks

So this came in the mail. I'm allowed to talk about EVE here, right? The writer and composers are the same.

>>4251765

>>4251775

>>4251765
Ever since playing YU-NO, I've wanted to play it (and Desire and Xenon), but only once I've learned Japanese so I can play the original PC-98 version. From what I've heard, the English Windows port has a harshly criticized translation, and the music is in General MIDI instead of FM synthesis which Umemoto is known for.

I've been aware of EVE's existence far longer than YU-NO's, but only had thought of it as "yet another possibly silly H-game" - now I genuinely want to play it some day.

>>4251786
If it makes you feel any better the asenheim project, which is a website that hosts various retro VNs you can play in your browser, allows you to play eve with the pc-98 soundtrack(It's actually taken from EVE burst error THE PERFECT, which is an album that takes the good parts of the 26K and 86 soundtracks and puts them together. It also features a couple of very sweet remixes by Umemoto himself).

>>4251765
That looks nice anon, I'm jealous

>>4251804
Thanks, I'm hoping to get the YU-NO super guide some day too.

>>4251826
Luckily I do have the Yu-no guidebook. I even have a version with an alternate cover. It features this lovely girl.

>>4251830
I didn't even know that existed. What's it look like?

>>4251835
I didn't either till I found it in my local comic book store. I'll take a picture when I have some time later.

>>4251836
>till I found it in my local comic book store
where do you live where you can find yu-no's artbook of all things at your local comic book store?

>>4248904
It's a real letdown how Saturn YU-NO barely has any animated cutscenes and how most of them are in the epilogue. There's a bunch of scenes I'd love to see animated. I guess Saturn EVE and Desire kinda spoiled me.

>>4251838
The Netherlands, trust me, I don't get it either. It must be fate.

>>4251879
I wonder if there are alternate covers for the other heroines

>>4251891
I honestly doubt it. But seeing how I've never found information on why this has an alternate cover, maybe there's an Eriko version out there.

>>4251879
Which comic book store?

Fellow Dutchie here

>>4251897
Atomik, this was the only copy they had though.

I know this is a longshot but do we have any yuno players who've also played Kanno's later games? Mystereet in particular looks fairly cool and it is getting a sequel so I'd like to know if it's good or not.

>>4251879
I never knew that left one existed until this thread

>>4252516
I played Exodus Guilty and the first Tantei Shinshi, but never got around to Mystereet
Friend who borrowed it from me said it ends on a cliffhanger just as things are really getting rolling

>>4251879
How about you spread the love around and scan that thing anon?

>>4253481
Is Tantei Shinshi good? Also, I know Exodus Guilty is thought to be meh by the majority of people who've played it but will someone who enjoyed EVE and YU-NO like it?

>>4253560
They're both good; Tantei Shinshi is better.
The modern-times part of Exodus Guilty was pretty cool.

>>4253602
Alright, thanks.

>>4253463
You have the PC98 version? I've been searching for that everywhere. It's the only thing I'm still missing.

>>4253552
The content is the same as the other guide. It's been ripped here: https://e-hentai.org/g/283321/de1be08ffa/

>>4253760
>You have the PC98 version?
Yeah, picked it up in 2001
I don't have the special disk, though

>>4253760
>It's the only thing I'm still missing.
Do you have the OVA in multiple formats?

>>4253782
I like to pretend it doesn't exist.

>>4253776
I'm hoping it will pop up on ebay one of these days, other than that, I doubt i'll ever find a copy.

Bros playing the game, post your current progress

>>4255730
I started 4 days ago and I'm at 89% (got all of the jewels)

I have to thank the people in this thread for trying to make this game a little bit popular. I'm not one to play VNs often but this is something else.

>>4253782
Isn't the OVA just the sex scenes and barely any of the plot?

>>4255745
Hell yes bro keep going

>>4255749
No, the sex scenes are extremely short.
There's a bit of the plot like Toyotomi NTR and some twisted version of the hypersense stone. A lot of it is completely mangled and hardly recognizable.
Maybe you could call it a parody.

>>4255745
>I'm not one to play VNs often but this is something else.
Same here, I usually don't have the patience to sit through an entire VN, but I just couldn't stop playing Yu-no.

For those who can read nip, the 7th chapter of the manga is out.

http://www.comic-clear.jp/comic.aspx?c=60

>>4256172
Also, if you find a good way to rip it, let me know.

>>4256185
All the files are there, you just gotta glue them together, if you're that interested

>>4256195
I tried that in chrome, but it tends to skip pages. I'm fine having to glue it all together.

>>4256204
You gotta zoom in on all the segments of the pages otherwise your browser won't load them

>>4256172
It appears they had time cop Eriko show up in the scene where Ryuuzouji attempts to use niarb on Takya at Sword Cape. Isn't revealing her suit this early a big spoiler? Also I wonder if the anime will be based on this manga or have similar adaptational solutions.

>>4256206
Yeah, tried that but it didn't pick up the first two pages earlier. It works now so I'll see if I can rip everything this weekend. Then people can start translating if there's interest in that.

>>4256208
It's kind of a spoiler I guess, but they've been handling those elements very poorly ever since the remake. I mean Yu-no clearly has pointy ears.

>>4256224
Doing god's work son

>>4256227
Who is that qt?

>>4256230
Dithered slut #58b

>>4256227
>>4256238
If only that artstyle was still a thing, it looks so nice.

>>4256247
It's just a lot of work for little return. 16 colors are crazy restrictions, no incentive to do it these days.

Even vallhala that was quite openly inspired by pc-98 graphics they couldn't resist but break the color restrictions, it just gets too hard and the development has to keep going at a steady pace,

>>4256247
There's still stuff with thin aliased lines on Pixiv.

I just finished this.

What a ride

>>4256272
Too bad japs never fucking tag their art properly on Pixishit

>>4256281
Congrats bro, enjoy the ride of these feels while it lasts

If you're referring to the epilogue ending you can now go back to each route and get a good ending for each girl. They're pretty small scenes but worth it once you're done with the game.
Then when you're done with that there's another small silly ending which unlocks the music room

>>4256281
Oh an I must say, all those years of picross paid off. No need to look for hints. I was actually happy to see that puzzle halfway through the game.

>>4256287
The music room ending was a complete feelercoaster.

>>4256281
What was it like for you?

>>4256294
Enthralling. I don't generally play VNs at all, at best I played maybe 2 or 3 and some "adventure games" (as in, stuff like Hotel Dusk). Many VNs have been suggested to me in the past but I decided to go for this one, mainly because I really do like the style of it.

>>4244773
I didn't realize she was Eriko until they had to pretty much spell it out for me.
Am I retarded?

>>4256382
...Yes

>>4256382
You are but that's okay

>>4256287

>Go out of my way to get 100% on my first playthrough
>To the point that I was keeping 6 jewels at specific spots in the game and hindering myself completely so I could get the additional endings afterwards
>Eventually get all the routes and jewels besides the Study
>Get everything I need, and finally get to the Study and have to put all my jewels back in
>"Fug"
>Put jewels in, go to the epilogue etc.
>Finally finish the game
>99%
>"WHAT THE FUCK"
>Looking for everything I missed, but can't find shit
>Eventually restart the game with all items and try to find what was wrong
>Turned out I had to leave the study and enter my room to get 100%

>>4256464
>that one dialogue option in the middle of a random route you only unlock after the epilogue
Literally what the fuck?

What a wonderful game

My, my, what's this?

>>4256992
you can tell in the bottom you misaligned by 1px

>>4257050
How bothersome, I just threw it together by hand. I have no experience with image editing programs. I can make the edges of the canvas magnetic with gimp but not the layers, so I still have to do parts by hand.

>>4257050
>>4257796
Alright, I managed to make a magnetic grid. How is this? Any noticeable misalignment?

>>4256482
I remember that one. That was fucked up especially when it was nothing

>>4257813
Seems good

I mean, even now, after 3 years after playing it, I remember the girls, their issues and their faces. Each had their own faults and perks. That's why I asked who is best girl, since I'm on the fence myself.

And it's not even about the sex scenes. Sure I enjoyed them (except the one after you gather all the stones and the second part of the game starts). Mostly I liked doing the routes since each girl made me interested in them, whether their goal was to reach the insides of Triangle Mountain or just get their insides reached.

>>4258179
>That's why I asked who is best girl, since I'm on the fence myself.

There's only one proper choice there, and that is Eriko

>>4258179
>>4258195
Like anon said, there's only one valid choice.

>>4258179
>>4258403
I mean, let's evaluate it, ok? you have:

>Mio:

+Nice bobs
+A fucking nerd as well, not afraid of Triangle Mountains
+Good at picross, can't go wrong with that

-Immature
-She has little princess complex
-Her dad
-Takes a whole evening to decide which clothes to use

>Mitsuki:

+Has a good choice of places to fuck
+Will teach you how to sex
+Will take a bullet for you

-She will always want to fuck this other old man on the side, you just "comfort" her
-Nyarb kinda makes her a really risky choice
-She ain't that cute

>Kanna:

+She'll let you sleep in her apartment for free
+You can see her naked and she won't bat an eye like, who cares
+Ages differently, she stays like that for decades

-It's the fucking default mysterious blue haired girl I mean come the fuck on
-Smaller tits
-She a prostitute. She has been used more than probably the rest of the fucking cast

>Kaori:

+Pretty sneaky
+She reads your naughty thoughts and likes it

-She also fucking reads your other thoughts
-Nothing personnel, kid
-Shady as shit

>Ayumi:

+Nice mommy
+Hard working
+Have you seen those motherfucking legs?

-She does not fucking listen
-She seems to like seeing you suffer,
as she knows your intentions fully yet allows Mr. Porn Director control of the script between her legs
-Also suicidal

>Eriko:

+You think "nice tits" and then you get to see her eyes
+Really, really intelligent
+Despite her looks, she doesn't sleep around
+Acts like a good big sis
+She's like a fucking time cop, nothing sexier than that
+Will save your ass more than once

-She smokes
-Actually, screw that. That makes her cool. She has no faults, she's perfect, suck my dick.

>>4258939
The only real debate is for the second spot. Eriko is objectively the best, even a fag with no taste in women would agree.

With that said since I have a thing for broken toys I'd go for Kanna, but I'm aware that on a very rational basis she is far from ideal and probably the worst choice.

>>4258998
I would say:

Eriko >>> Mio > Kanna > Ayumi > Mitsuki > Kaori

>>4259040
Kaori counts?
Kaori a shit, and she's designed to be a shit.

Im getting a pc-98 romset that includes this but Im confused between which one to get, which one do you guys recommend?

>>4259096
Get the Neo Kobe packs.
https://mega.nz/#F!jIgkXQDY!hE3FQNWl77DkzKErGdz35g
They are still a work on progress but you get a uniform format, uniform naming and occasionally bonus material such as manuals.

>>4258939
>-Nothing personnel, kid

>>4258998
Kanna won me over with the way the rumors about her turned out. I thought she was just looking for her father.

>>4259141
Now that I think about it, I actually forgot most things about her, if I keep this up I'll forget about most of the game and have an excuse to play it again.

I just know that I started off dismissing her as some basic bitch and as she kept revealing how miserable her life is, she became more endearing.

Though I still think her sex scene was forced and had no business being in the game other than the fact it was the end of her routerand eroge formula mandates it so.
