Re: Visual Novels
I guess it's to get the gist of what is being said. :P The more translations you have at hand, the higher the chance that one of them gets it partly right, and you can combine the results to make it somewhat comprehensible. /me has done the same thing before learning Japanese.Cosmic Eagle wrote:Ehh...why so many?
At the moment, I'm reading 終わる世界とバースデイ and J.Q.V人類救済部~, apart from the approximately twenty other VNs I have started and never finished. Both are about the end of the world, but very different. The former has got too much moé for my taste, but at least there's that kick-ass OP. Speaking of which, I should finally continue playing Subahibi... damn, my backlog...

Re: Visual Novels
I haven't really played enough to judge, but Owaru Sekai to Birthday has some nice concepts. Just, it kinda feels like your average VN. As for J.Q.V: it's just plain weird. I mean, it starts with the protagonist jerking off completely naked on the ceiling of his house to cloud formations.YoakeNoHikari wrote:Are they good?

Re: Visual Novels
Exactly right, however I can assure you that the translation is still pretty bad and it takes several times more then if you read it in full English.... So I gave up on that method.EusthEnoptEron wrote:I guess it's to get the gist of what is being said.

OST from ARIA was really good, not sure about the game on PS2, but I liked the anime. Which reminds me, I still did not watch the OVAYoakeNoHikari wrote: Anyways, speaking of good openings:

Re: Visual Novels
Played the first route, Razael is just so cute....
Has no H schemes but that is to be expected, with a cast of famous seiyuus and all.
It seams every route has it's own story and the order being Razael-Sorami-Lilith.
Just need to get over my inability to see Sorami as a possible love interest...
There are some point I found weird, like the fact that they live/are a school, c'mon the world is ending and the first thing angel an demon make together is a school....
Great VN with a lot of action, a likable MC, a good Rival and Razael....
Greatly recommended.

Re: Visual Novels
Yes...I play purely for Raziel.
Well it's more like the point of Pandora being to gather enough people to try and gain access to Heaven again than a school.....
Anyway

Re: Visual Novels
@Cosmic: i guess Micchi-dono and Zen-dono are just critical with chuuni themes to talk about Tokyo Babel quite negatively.. but if i remember correctly its sales weren't so well jap-side either..
i have a probably weird question..
how do most non-japs speakers play/read their VNs? TL group patches, machine TLs like ATLAS, official TLs (Mangagamer), or raw?that aside, anyone else here who's interested in Alcot Honey Comb's upcoming title? back-to-back with Studio Ryokucha's IwaOu, plain romantic comedy is a good year-ender

And for some reason I have the feeling it's going to be 80x better than the original.
Also, Baldr Sky Zero, but Team Baldrhead isn't producing it (and Kikuchi-sensei isn't drawing it.) I don't really have much hopes for this, but I hope it isn't bad.

Re: Visual Novels
Raw....I never used translations except for Zanma Taisei Demonbane...and even then that was because the original died when I wanted to replay it and reinstalling was proving too troublesome.shichinanatsu wrote:@Cosmic: i guess Micchi-dono and Zen-dono are just critical with chuuni themes to talk about Tokyo Babel quite negatively.. but if i remember correctly its sales weren't so well jap-side either..

No one TLs the kind of stuff I play anyway. Or rather it's too time consuming for them to do so
Anyway....Ourai certainly has to be the game of winter 2012. Gods, Sakurai....that dosage of chuunibyou you just injected into your writing is so long needed

Re: Visual Novels
My Girlfriend Is An Alpaca can be bought here in English. It is also known as "Pacaplus."
While I have not played it, it looks interesting in its own way. Also, the same site has a whole bunch of VNs that you can buy. Some are translated; some are not.Story
-- One day when I woke up, my girlfriend had turned into an alpaca!!
The main character, Saeki Kazuma, had a wonderful school life surrounded by many friends and his girlfriend.
One day at this time, in the bus on the way back from "Alpaca Kingdom" with his girlfriend, Izumi Yukari,
he just woke up and found that there was some lovely thing next to him...
" What a .....!!!!!????"
Instead of Yukari sitting next to his bus seat was a fluffy alpaca.
" What's the matter Kazuma?? You shouted all of a sudden..."
The alpaca looking at Kazuma with wondering eyes talked exactly like his girlfriend Yukari.
And this is how his summer with alpaca begins.
