The Visual Novel Megathread: Reading till your eyes bleed

[0x22b]

I didn't like the majority of Kotori's route in Rewrite, but I loved the ending.

I enjoyed Shizuru's route though, [sp]HOLY SHIT THAT ENDING?? Turns into a freaking tree, what a god damn boss. It made me sad though it ended like that.[/sp]

Does using your Rewrite powers in the beginning twice actually really affect you that much in any of the routes? I tried it on Shizuru's but nothing really extreme happened.

Nothing more than telling you that rewriting is [sp]"bad" for you[/sp] AKA (end-game spoilers) [sp]Turning yourself into an familiar (like how Sakuya did)[/sp]

Chihaya and Lucia was my favourite main routes, Moon was the best of them all.

Shame Yoshino didn't get a route though. But he made me cry in Moon [sp]when he died[/sp]

[editline]31st January 2013[/editline]

lots of spoilers there heheehhe

[ScottyWired]

Geezus I can't even operate a visual novel without breaking it.

It's only got two controls- left click and right click yet I [I]still[/I] manage to crash the game somehow. [U]I'm doing something wrong.[/U]

[Mako]

what game is it

[Guardb]

I really liked the reporter girl in Rewrite. It's a shame that she didn't even had a CG :(

[Vomitself]

How is Rewrite? I'm a big Key fan, Clannad and Little Busters are among my favorites and made me cry immensely.

I've taken a break from visual novels for a while, because the last one I played was G-Senjou no Maou. It was so single-handedly good I'm afraid that I'll never find a VN that comes even close to how good it is.

[Mako]

It's not as long as Clannad, but it's still very good. Some people disliked the action-y parts

[QUOTE=iLife_Aftermath;39424172]Moon was the best of them all.[/QUOTE]

Ah...
[i]Ahhh...[/i]
[b][i]Fuck...[/i][/b]

Moon ending OP, requires a nerf. It actually tugged some of my heartstrings there. [i]Wow.[/i]

In terms of routes, Lucias[sup][sup][sup]2[/sup][/sup][/sup] and Chihuahuas[sup][sup][sup]3[/sup][/sup][/sup] route were great - Moon[sup][sup][sup]1[/sup][/sup][/sup] being the best. I hope Terra is even better.

The music is amazing, but at the same time feels like there aren't that many songs.

[Mako]

Terra is MAJORLY different from the other routes, [sp]The text fills the entire screen, Koutaro is voiced, and "something" helps you make choices. Also the battle with Esaka was tear jerking[/sp]

[0x22b]

I finished Terra. I'll be honest - it was pretty fucking great. I liked Koutaro...a lot. I'm a little surprised though about Kotori. [sp]She knew he was like, 10 years older then him from the start. I wonder what she thinks about that.[/sp]

[sp]Also the ending where they go to the moon. Yeah, sure - that's when they all suffocate in SPAAAAAAAACE.[/sp]

also if he has the power to [sp]teleport everyone to space he probably has the power to bring some oxygen with him[/sp]

[Conficker.exe]

Read Steins;Gate the vn or watch the anime first? About to start downloading and friend is about to give me the anime, so wondering which to do first.

[editline]5th February 2013[/editline]

also how much % is translated?

All of it. Read the VN first, it's amazing.

[ScottyWired]

[QUOTE=Kyo;39490918]All of it. Read the VN first, it's amazing.[/QUOTE]

I disagree, I watched the anime first and enjoyed it thoroughly and when I read the VN afterwards, I had a lot of fun picking up on little details that the anime skipped. Pretty much having that journey of discovery twice.

[editline]6th February 2013[/editline]

Both are still amazing

[BloodFox1222]

I watched the anime first too and while the visual novel was great you should absolutely read the VN first, It's much more interesting seeing scenes animated than turned into VN.

You read books before you watch their respective films, don't you? ;)
(you should if you don't!)
[QUOTE=Conficker.exe;39489580]also how much % is translated?[/QUOTE]
100%

What

[HeyItsKyo]

[QUOTE=ILY;39491939]What[/QUOTE]

They're basically saying the transition from VN -> Anime is more interesting to watch then Anime -> VN

(assuming you genuinely didnt know what they meant and if not I apologize for being so oblivious :v:)

[cat ass]

Read his post carefully, it makes no sense.
"while the visual novel was great you should absolutely read the VN first"
Replace while with although/even though since they are synonyms
"even though the visual novel was great you should absolutely read the VN first"
???

"It's much more interesting seeing scenes animated than turned into VN."
I'm fairly sure he's one of those people(like yourself) who mix up than and then.
If he actually meant "than", he's saying that Anime>VN. Not relevant and doesn't back up his stance. (also untrue)
If he actually meant "then", he's saying that you should watch the anime, then read the VN. Which is taking a stance which opposes the first part of his sentence.

[Muntu]

Obviously wasn't thinking too much when writing that, and meant that you should watch the anime first.

I agree with that, the anime was imo way better.

[Rahkshi]

Steins;Gate was a good anime but it was nothing compared to the VN, why are we even having this conversation in the VN thread, clearly it's VN first, anime second.
Always.

[Muntu]

Well yes, of course the VN will win here, it's the goddamn vn thread.

[Muntu]

also just got what bloodfox was saying :v:

vn first because most people will quite likely think it's boring due to no animations etc

[Mako]

this thread aswell?

ffs

[BloodFox1222]

I was saying play the visual novel first because it's more interesting seeing the same thing again animated than it is seeing it novelized.

[_maverick_]

friend told me i should play/read the ClannadVS (?)

opinions?

[QUOTE=_Maverick_;39504829]friend told me i should play/read the ClannadVS (?)

Anyone willing to explain what that VS is?

[Feuver]

Shit, I really need to catch up, next in my list is Steins;gate, then Rewrite AWWW FUCK.
