/vr/ - Retro Games

Translations are for subhumans.

imagine playing the soulless remake of one of the most visually stunning adventure games ever created.

The remake's art looks pretty garbage.
I've yet to play the original, should I get the PC-98, Saturn or Windows version?

>>5348848
pc-98, its the uncensored one iirc

>>5348638

>>5348865
Thanks for the heads up. I'm liking it thus far.

>>5347592
They're making a 26-episode anime next season.

It's going to be awful.

But it'll probably have a better ending.

>>5348848
Windows with the voice patch and restored CG

>>5348983
Can you apply those patches and still play in Japanese or do you have to play in English?

>>5348939
this physically hurts to look at

>>5348998
There are patches that keep the text Japanese.

>>5348939
Wtf that's no improvement

>>5348983
tlwiki.org and tsukuru.info are both down, would you know where else I can get those files?

>>5348998
The fantranslators had the glorious inspiration to also release a version that works with Japanese text.

>>5348939
the shame of the remake artist is palpable. it must physically hurt to be confronted with your own inferiority in light of your predecessors this starkly

>>5349110
Which was rather difficult to find, with their site down and everyone else only packing in the translated version.
If anyone else needs it, https://my.mixtape.moe/rrqjkh.zip

>>5349357
Nah, I've had it backed up on my external HDD for years.

>>5349169
What's even more funny is that they chose him to do the Langrisser remake's art too, and it sucks so much they're selling a DLC to get Urushihara's art instead.
I almost feel bad for the artist at this point since I loved his Ar Tonelico work, but his style is way too flat and modern for those retro remake.

>What's even more funny is that they chose him to do the Langrisser remake's art too, and it sucks so much they're selling a DLC to get Urushihara's art instead.
nobody tell blizzard or bethesda.

Can I jack off to this or what?

>>5349731
You can, if you can hold out for ten hours.

>>5349738

Who is best girl?
and why is it Eriko sensei?

>>5347592
>How come there's never been a game as comfortable and intriguing as this PC98 game?
Great accomplishments in any field are rare, whether it's the sciences or the arts.
>I wonder how the remake translation will turn out
Absolute dogshit.

>>5348939
Good lord, the regress in style and technique is crushing. Who approved this?

>>5349738
>Not jacking off to panty shots, suggestive poses and dialogue
Low level, honestly.

oh hey that's my favorite track too

Is this the best sex music ever?

>there are people who only played the remake
>there will be people who only watch the anime

>>5351710
>there are people who only watched the hentai ova

>>5351710
>there are people who dropped out when the story didn't go anywhere after 1 hour because fuck VNs

>>5348939
Soul vs. Soulless

>>5352013
Their loss. The art and music grabbed me from the first minute. Shouldn't you finish the prologue within an hour anyway? The story is already rolling by that point.

I'm actually hyped for the new anime

>>5350245
Kanna and Mio close second

>>5352489
I am pretty hopeful too, they may pull it off

>>5350245
Not saying it's objecyively best girl, but I like cum bucket teacher a lot. She was the one that suffered the most from the remake's new designs though. Don't know if I'll read it, the original leaves too little room for improvement anyway

>>5352489
Who knows how well it'll go to be honest. I had hope, but after reading into it, I'm not sure.

>"Hirakawa said the anime will include the same all characters and all the routes as the original game. As opposed to the game's first-person perspective from protagonist Takuya's point of view, the anime will also depict the relationships of the girls surrounding Takuya. Hirakawa vowed that the anime "will outdo the game in dirty jokes," that Mio "will be even more tsundere," and that Kanna "will be even more mysterious.""

It feels like it will turn from a somewhat serious VN to just being full on comedy with a story thrown in every five minutes to move the plot along for more fan service. Plus all the routes, will that be possible with 26 episodes? What about the epilogue?

It'll be awful if it become popular to the point that "le aeshetic VN anime" crowd got into it FROM the anime. It's just sour the entire fanbase. Although, that could just be my jaded point of view.

How can I play this, right now, on English? Thank you very much

>>5354086
There is a Windows version and a translation patch you can download. It was a somewhat involved process, I did it over a year ago and I forgot how it worked. Hopefully some kind anon will point you in the right direction.

I'm very much a cakefag, so Mitsuki is my #2

>>5349357
this doesnt work with the voices and also makes the game run really fast. can anyone help?

What is the name of the artist who made the original illustrations in YU-NO? T

>>5354608
This guy did the character designs: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%95%B7%E5%B2%A1%E5%BA%B7%E5%8F%B2
The backgrounds are credited to 小林勝寿.

>>5354635
What the hell, this guy has worked in a lot of good shit. What an absolute lad.

>>5354640
Which makes it all the more ridiculous that they replaced him in the remake with the fucking Ar Tonelico guy.

>>5349463
>>5349574
Hmm..... What do we have here?
Pete! Come take a look at this!

>>5348983
Do you know where I can get this game with the patches?

>>5356326
>it's linked literally in this thread and referenced at least twice
>still asks again
You are bad and you should feel bad.

I played this a year and a half ago

Crazy shit there ay

>>5358235
I played it a year ago because of all the shilling on /vr/.
The story had its pros and cons but holy fuck is the art A E S T H E T I C and I still regularly listen to the soundtrack to this day.

>>5358487
>and I still regularly listen to the soundtrack to this day
Most of Ryu Umemoto's music is amazing. I can keep it all on shuffle for hours.
EVE burst error is probably my favorite of his soundtracks.

>>5347592
>comfortable
Isn't there NTR, rape, or some forced drama?

>>5347592
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand YU-NO. The gameplay is extremely challenging, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the plot points will go over a typical player's head. There's also YU-NO's Oedipus complex, which is deftly woven into her characterisation - her lust for her father draws heavily from Sigmund Freud literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these sexual themes, to realise that they're not just otaku pandering - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike YU-NO truly ARE idiots - of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the melodic and tonal construction of Ryu Umemoto's music, which itself is a cryptic reference to Zen Buddhism. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Hiroyuki Kanno's genius wit unfolds itself on their PC screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Kun-Kun tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only - and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid.

>>5358674
Actually, it's called an Electra complex.

I keep getting stuck in this game. I beat it with the bad ending. I tried using a guide but it was still confusing. Enjoyed it otherwise.

>>5358859
>I beat it with the bad ending.
That's impossible. You may loop back to the start but you won't finish it until the map is fully revealed.
There's only one place you can really get stuck but even there you can just restart and take a different route. Otherwise there's always some trigger where you can progress without needing stuff from other timelines.
