[Animaksiat]

finished up on shizuma and kai's route... gonna take a break before doing the true route...

however, i do must say, im so disappointed with eternal, they pick a wrong guy to run the stories... each characterism are lame and easy to sway. not too mention both protagonist are simply 2 morons who were poorly choosed by the creator to be teleported to another dimension.

i really missed the old staffs of xuse.

After installing the game,have you not cracked it/patched it? I would advice you to open a thread at 'Tech Support and Talk'

Um I have a question to everyone... Anyone know any good Japanese Visual novels that are translated into English? Something similar to that ---> (games that are made using E-mote/M2 Co. LTD engine) or if there's not many games like that, then non-animated ones are great alternative too. Can someone recommend some visual novels for me to play/read? :3

dunno about game engine... but some masterpieces like muvluv, demonbane, yumina are already translated to english (unless you're one of those who think "eroge are just a mere fap material" type people).
you might want to see what mangagamer's list have to offers.

Nah I'm not like that at all. I mean I'm cool with eroge stuff and that won't bother me a bit. xD
I know mangagamer, they make good games indeed. Thank you for the recommendations :3

There aren't too many English VNs with e-mote animations, I think. From my experience most translated VNs with a slice of life setting are the usual drama deals, e.g. Da Capo, Period, Canvas 2 (which is very daily life-ish but feels quite boring, based on the one route I played though). If you don't mind more somber (not dark-ish) settings, I'd definitely recommend the Ef duology.
One of the few pure light-hearted settings is probably Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort, which has received a fan patch a month or so ago. Just be aware that there'n not much of a plot and serves purely as a feel-good setting. If my heart had wings was pretty nice as well, but I've read mixed feelings of the translation and removed dialogues.

You may in general check out http://erogedownload.com/downloads/. This site lists a large amount of VNs in english.

I tested with the October releases two "true routes" with savegame usage:
1. Koi x Shin Ai Kanojo: I kinda expected on what point the route would focus beforehand and was actually right *lol*. But yeah, the route felt pretty terrible. Like a huge slap in the MCs face as basically nothing he wished to achieve bore any fruits >_<. Fortunately the VN was not on my must-have list.

2. Royal Garden: Now that was enjoyable! The MC did a great job at trolling during the grand finale. Too bad that outside of future append patches the heroine had only one (long-ish) h-scene. I will also play this title normally and am looking forward to Amakano 2

Outside of that, PrimalxHearts 2 is fun. Michiru's bro the MC seems to be made also into kind of an omnipotent (except the usual plot-denseness I assume) MC. You could see during the first few scenes that Tateha is the Yuzuki of PxH2, so hopefully they decided to fix the terrible plot progression of the Yuzuki's route.

 

[pingtoryan]

PxH2 took longer than expected and it'll take me a long while to clean my mess up, so I'll be sticking with Traveling Stars as my Warplanes pal for now...

That was seriously annoying. Or more like that was most annoying route I have ever played.

If anyone actually wondering why did this become a shitstorm, here a short summary of route from EGS:

Spoiler: Spoilers about Sena Route

1.主人公に手紙を書くお手伝いをしてもらった結果、音楽の才能を見初められ自分の夢を叶えるために転校（主人公から手紙をもらうも返事をせずに去る）
2.スランプに陥り思い出の町で休養。ぬるま湯に浸かる（主人公との再会。手紙のことには触れない）
3.主人公と触れ合うことでアイデアが復活。主人公を捨てて転校（お別れのあいさつはメールの「ごめんなさい」のみ）
4.数年後、またもスランプに陥り戻ってくる。（何食わぬ顔で再会。別れた男に対し開口一番に家に泊めろと言い出す）
5.二人で暮らすも結婚を申し込まれた途端失踪（置手紙にてもう二度と会わないと主人公を突き放す）
6.主人公の小説を読み再び戻ってくる（真偽は不明。妄想かもしれない）

In short Main Heroine Sena DUMPED MC 3 TIMES. Seriously she leaves him, do whatever she wants, return after 3-5 years, have sex and fucks MC's life, then dumps again. Why? Because she want to make music, and acts like an innocent shit.

The most hilarious thing about this shitstorm is, they actually posted this game at http://ntrblog.com/archives/1044057254.html with a "New Genre: Music NTR".

Tateha's theme is basically Yuzuki's theme remixed to have a vibe more like that of Haruhi's...

...I dumped The Sims 3 and Skyrim just for this monstrosity of a VN...I know there are larger than this, but...

Ironically even her outcome hasn't become that positive if you consider the narrative before the MC's final monologue. As for the spoiler:

Spoiler: Sena Route

For 6.: I skimmed at that point only the text quite annoyed, but I didn't really notice that Sena returned. From what I understood, his last scoop to shed light into the "dark" past of her band failed, thus his chance to get information about her whereabout. She had a few more song writing opportunities but ultimately it stopped as well along with further news surrounding Sena, while the MC was thinking that they are in some way (still) similar - The End. So yeah, if at all I'd put it also as his imagination >_<

Those scenarios are exactly why I try to stay mostly with light-hearted VNs. I can arrange myself with "true ends" where "smaller" sacrifices were necessary to achieve a greater goal (i.e. in the more serious battle and save-the-world settings).

Actually There is one more scene if you dont skip the credits with this cg

Spoiler: CG

so it maybe not his imagination after all, but to be honest who cares about it. I dont really think it changes anything about how annoying that route was.

Well I'm trying to forget about it, now gotta try Unlucky Re:Birth/Reverse. I have played 30-40 min and enjoyed so far, Its fun with a little mystery and cute heroines. Then there are Watashi ga Suki nara "Suki" tte Itte, Primal x Hearts 2, Royal Garden and of course Koihime Eiyuutan Go, which I'm looking forward to most.

 

[pingtoryan]

So far, PrimalxHearts 2 is a deja vu trip...at least to me.

Spoiler: but

...but three years in the mountain against basically lifelong training...?

 

[Mahou]

I agree, especially Tateha. Her actions are nearly mirroring Yuzuki.

Spoiler: Common route

Both plead the MC for help at first and develop possibly the first crush on him. Both are yearning for his attention, but end up failing in the common route due to being flustered, jumping too late on the boat, being "overshadowed" by the more assertive characters. Assertive in their directness towards the MC, I mean etc...

As for your spoiler: Yeah, I scratched my head at that point as well. I guess they wanted - as with PxH1 - to make an "omnipotent" MC, outside of plot-denseness.
But otherwise, I like the new cast. Alictia is adorable and the conclusion to her prologue plot was quite heartwarming, heck I was tearing up . The mutual jabbing between MC and Usagi is fun. Well, let's see how the individual routes will turn out.

 

[Mahou]

I'll allow myself to do a double post.

I played all routes up to the confession as that has become more or less one of my (strange) habits. First a few information about our good ol' fromer cast. The Rapunzel owner + Michika are a given as they appear already in the common route:

Spoiler: PxH1 cast

Depending on which route you are on, Kazuma has a different waifu! Furthermore, he appears also in Usagi's route voiced(!) but without a character sprite. As to who's been so far the lucky girls? In Usagi's route his canon waifu is Haruhi. Bakka Couple. In Tateha's, it's Yuzuki but neither has appeared yet if at all. For Alictia, his waifu is KANA KANA! She makes there also an appearance

And Kazuma has also been Daichi's Martial Arts sensei during his life in the mountains *lol*.

As for the routes itself: So far Mokomoko Alictia's route has been my favorite so far. Heartwarming, fun, lovable. Daichi is as donkan as in the other routes, though. For better or worse... Mashiro's has been nice as well. Rather normal-ish apart from a silly comedy misunderstanding pre-confession.

Usagi's: Well, their lover relationship starts after an early-ish credit roll. Before that, the slice of life between the two and her slowly falling for him was pretty good. The drama just *had* to happen when it did, but was handled in an acceptable fashion.
Aaaand Tateha: I mentioned it before but the similarity between her and Yuzuki are easily noticable. The route is similar structured to Yuzuki's, e.g. the part leading to the confession + the short unrest before they hook up for good. Maybe these obvious parallelism(?) influenced my judgement, but well... it could be considered a bit lazy-ish. I'll wait until I'm done with the route.

 

[FL-God]

Pretty much stepping at landmine at Koi x Shin Ai Kanojo : too little common sense at how highschoolers behave *especially Kisaragi Natsuko*, literally scattered story, too many times i had to go to backlog or previous choice just to check why they have those conversation

good thing i've got Eiyuutan to heal my mind

 

[pingtoryan]

So it is six years later...that vignette makes sense now...

Now I'm at the split...maybe I'll do it all at once like I did with PurexConnect...

Spoiler: addendum

Forged on with PxH2. I knew that Anna's route is a minor one, and I was right - I completed it in one day while reading through both H-scenes (as in no skipping).

...Mashiro's story up to getting umbrella on the blackboard leave my head in need of painkillers though...

Yeah I'm keeping Eiyuutan 3 as my special card as well, I'll need it soon.

 

[Mahou]

Finished Mashiro and Usagi's route in PxH2.
Mashiro was overall quite mild. No drama after they got together and instead more character development for Mashiro. But jeeze, did she become bold and "addicted" to the ecchi O_o.

Whereas I lost somehow my feeling of time with Usagi due to how their coupling was actually pushed towards the end of her route. It gave me somehow the feeling that her route was short(er). But yeah... the long way between jabbing friends to finally lovers was enjoyable. The drama leading to the final conclusion was okay-ish. I kinda exptected it and skipped a bit during that point *lol*.

 

[pingtoryan]

Spoiler: PxH2

Daichi's really over the top with donkan-ness...I don't recall Kazuma being that much of a dunderhead at ANY time (Michi took the blame on herself at one point for that)...
The girls have supportive parents this time around and an environment better for fostering romance (recall what happened to the Gekka girls in the first title).

Spoiler: Deja Vu

Deja vu: Visiting an injured Tateha
Deja vu: Alicetia at the amusement park...good thing Michi didn't say she felt a sense of jamais vu...

 

[kzel]

Finished 恋×シンアイ彼女, it was pretty good. Nothing really moving in it, thanks to the very heavy and obvious foreshadowing, but Yui's route was pretty touching. Since I'm a sucker for piano just listening to the music was enjoyable enough to me, definitely keeping the OST. Sena's route was what is was, but it takes some courage to write such a route with such an ending, it felt pretty refreshing.

Spoiler: Sena's route

I didn't find Sena's route as bad as some say it is, it's pretty clear from the start that to her : her dream >>> the protagonist. That doesn't mean she doesn't love him, but he doesn't come first. Sure, her habit of leaving all of a sudden without saying a word when she feels pressured is irritating but by the third (or fourth) time the protagonist knows that all too well, and sees plenty of signs. Yet he chooses to ignore them and puts additional pressure on her with his proposal... talk about clumsy... outcome was to be expected. I'm pretty glad the writer didn't decide to flip things miraculously at the end, the situation is completely deserved for both sides even though they both (presumably) end up unhappy.

I tried getting into Primal X Hearts 2, but just gave up. Too many deja-vus from the previous game, an implausible omnipotent protagonist setup, Usagi's uzai-ness, and the completely undeserved group ijime towards Alicia (from the whole school except Daichi and Mashiro, teachers included...) was just making the whole thing a pain in the ass to read. I would have kept going just for Alicia's story but meh, I can't bring myself to continue it after skipping more than half of the common part.

Now trying 天ノ空レトロスペクト, finished the first chapter and it's looking fairly good.

 

[Kri]

Just finished the ロイヤルガーデン, and well while it has some good and bad points overall it was better than average, but not so great.

First of all, I'm not sure why but they tried so hard for connecting Yue route (grand route) into a harem. Seriously even at the epilogue our heroine still says "I'll forgive if its a little" or "I'm pretty sure some day other people will desire him as well, but at least just for now I want to keep him for myself" at her monologue while all other heroines are already half joking with being second wife etc. If if was just a few scenes I'd think it as a joke, but when there are at least 15-20 different conversation about this you are starting to think that they are trying to do something about this. Hell even mc just says ... instead of rejecting so its pretty suspicious.

In short there might be some kind of harem ending or threesome etc at their append patchs, or maybe they just wanted to add those three heroines into grand finale ending somehow but to be honest I found all of those as pretty unnecessary.

Now grand route itself; It was good yeah, Yue herself was a great heroine and seeing entire common route from her eyes & solving all problems instead of just ignoring etc were great but they definitely exaggerated mc and his plan. It was just impossible, from start to finish. Even the key magic makes more sense than this, they wanted to cover some of those parts with getting help from britania etc but no, it definitely didnt make a little sense.

Spoiler: Yue route

So he jumped from 50-70m school, didnt die because they put some airshit tool and instantly remove it before anyone else realise it, its happening in the middle of the city btw, "managed" to deceive everyone with some make up as dead. AND ITS NOT ALL. He even realised and managed to stop the coup d'etat which was about to happen in Yue's country.

I guess they couldnt find any better way for solving all those problems, but in the first place they didnt have to make all those problems either. They digged too much, making situations very very unsolveable, which was a mistake.


Other than this "big" problem I enjoyed it pretty much, and looking forward for append patches. Sub characters are really great in this game so I'm definitely looking forward for a Natsuki or Touka route. Lets hope that they wont make just a h-scene instead of full route for those characters.
