I didn't want it to sound like visual novels can't be fun without being good at japanese. I just wanted to say that this game in particular is a long read without much ero in the game. Since there was an anime based on this game recently i thought some people might want to play it for the "ero" part more than the story, and i didn't want them to get dissapointed.
I used AGTH and visual novels a lot for learning japanese back in the hongfire.com days, and i think it's a nice way to learn if you like eroge. It's also a fun way to learn once you have gramma and the rest of the basics down, but for me this game would have too few "ero rewards" with too much "learning" in between. I hope you understand what i mean, english is not my first language...
As for my japanese reading: I like to read light novels (actual printed ones mostly), so i have lots of experience in reading japanese without tools to help. Still, when i play eroge i like to use Visual Novel Reader as a dictionary for kanji or words i don't know. Very convinient, but i'm fine without it (just finished Natsuuso, and that game doesn't work with VNR).
I only played through mashiro's route, but i might play misaki's at some point, misaki is awesome.
Can't wait till they announce news about ZWEI in summer. Guess it'll have to be a new protagonist...
You must be new to FD's then. There is 5% chance that ZWEI will have a new protag. Most def it will be good ol' Masaya. I think you did good in going Mashiro first. Go Mashiro or Rika first, leave Asuka and Misaki at the end. Most peeps would pick Asuka as the last one because her story feels like the "true route" but I went Misaki because I always leave my favorite heroines at the end and because her story hits closer home in terms of character development. Can't wait for ZWEI either. Saki will definitely be a heroine. Here's hoping for a Reiko route. Or an Aoi final route if luck is on my side.
