Yeah, if I could understand Japanese I expect my position on autoplay/listening to change, but for now just listening to snippets of their voice is sufficient for me to fill in the audio space & perceive the tone etc. Of course fast clicking does ignore character animations as well, but saving time is just preferable to me because I do have a bit of VN backlog.
Visual Novel Community Thread: No Auto Read Required
- Thread starter Vylash
- Start date
If it's in Japanese, never absolutely no point. English I will do occasionally but once I get a feel for their voice I have a pretty easy time reading it in their voice anyway so I'll do like a 50 50 thing usually let the VA go uninterrupted in big scenes but otherwise will skip once I've read the current textbox.
I've had it recommended more times than I can count and it really doesn't hit any of what I like in a Visual Novel from what I've read of it.
Ended up finishing all the routes in Muv-Luv Extra. I think it was just the archery route I wasn't digging. The rest were fine and had their moments.
Anyway, finally started on Muv Luv Unlimited. I can already say, if it keeps up what it's doing. This'll be a very interesting ride once I get to alternative.

...what are the chances of localization? It's great seeing so many Switch ports of stuff that were originally passed out at the time!
I'm a slow reader and have low attention span, so listening to Japanese voice would only distract me more. But I still do this on significant scenes, or when I'm in the mood for expanding Japanese vocabularies.
Oh *whew* just a delay. Was worried it got cancelled/banned/whatever :x
Weird that it's just North America that's affected and not Canada
Edit: VGP listing says 9th October now... Did they actually ship your game?
So I'm checking out the coming soon section on my switch and theres a VN coming to it called gaokao.love.100days and I can prepurchase it, can anybody tell me whats up about it? Is it any good?
I would argue you would enjoy it far more if you have some experience with chinese culture, since it relies pretty heavy on it.
Anyone tried Steins;Gate Elite yet? It released yesterday in Japan, I've already seen some streams on youtube and so.
I made an order with Punch Line and VC4, and on September 13th I got the partial shipping confirmed, with a tracking number, even:
Mine was shipped on the 12th, should be here next week I'm guessing.I made an order with Punch Line and VC4, and on September 13th I got the partial shipping confirmed, with a tracking number, even:
I was pretty confused that it was shipped 2 weeks early and then that their site had changed it to an October release date.
Edit: Arrived this morning, vgp continue to be wizards I guess.

With English, interesting.

So I'm finally going through all of Period Cube to get it off my backlog and boy is this one... not great. I thought Norn9 had story issues, but PC is ten times worse. Plot holes out the ass, poor explanations, awful main character, half of the romances are incredibly questionable (Zain, Demento, ESPECIALLY Unlockable Route Guy), art quality in the CG's is all over the place...
At least some of the side characters were fun. And Astrum and Radius were enjoyable.
If I like the character/voice actor, I'll usually sit through most of their voiced dialogue. But like you said, it's a huge time sink since I read the lines way faster than the voices deliver them.

Thanks. I actually just wrapped it up a few minutes ago. Got the platinum trophy.
...The sooner I forget about that game, the better.
*shiver*
Depends on the tablet. Mine is pretty weak, but will run several visual novels.
Is it? The site lists 5 different people from Baka Tsuki doing translation.
The project has been infamous for years as a MTL project. Like most machine translations, the people behind it touch it up a bit and try to claim it's not a MTL.
Just to be clear, we're both talking about this patch?
The one that has very directly stated in rules?
- NO MACHINE TRANSLATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
It gets worse - they completely removed one of the characters from the original. Also, some violence and a certain death doesn't get shown at all.
Only redeeming factor is that we're finally getting Bounded Phenogram, because if not for that...
Wait, what? I assume this is how the Japanese version was, too? So, which character/violent death got the boot?
I knew about the 8-bit version, but didn't even know we were getting this. Sounds like a limited time/pre-order only thing, though. Pre-ordered both copies on Best Buy, cause GCU, so I can make sure to get them. (More excited for those 2 bonuses than the main game :x)
4C got cut.
As for the violence and death - they didn't get cut, they just aren't...shown. Since, I assume they weren't shown in the anime either.
"-That- Nae scene in Elite is also... Really bad. None of the violence is actually shown, it's a lot of still frames of Okabe looking scared and that's it. Moeka's death is also not fully shown."
Actually, that may have been a mistake on Steiner's part.
There was a time leap involved in that part of the story and he only watched the part post time leap where Moeka doesn't actually die.
I was a little bored with about 90% of it. Everything with Battler in the end was good (everything with Battler in general is good) but everything aside from that wasn't grabbing me. It was some kind of weird philosophical chuuni romanticizing as a coping mechanism angle and I wasn't feeling it. I feel like the entire "chuunibyou delusion" explanation is hammered in too heavily to buy into. I also felt like it had a lot of repeating or otherwise filler parts that I've already seen in previous episodes. The tea parties were really great though. They made it seem like Bern and Lambda are the endgame. In any case, I like Q1-3 a lot more than 4 when treated standalone.
The 12 years later pov mentioned an "accident" that I'm curious about but they never went further into it. All I managed to follow was that all of the bodies disappeared and Eva avoided something in Kuwadorian, I think? The delayed letters with money were creepy too. One thing I still can't get out of my head is how Rudolf said "I'm gonna die tonight" in Q1 (or was it Q2), that has to be a clue to something, but it was never mentioned again.
Also, my playtime is currently on ~94 hours. I never let the game idle more than a bathroom break. Look will this take me over 200 hours? Am I really that much slower than everyone else? Whew. I know I said I have a lot of holidays this month but dude. Help

It took me at most 100 hours total, so yeah, it seems voices really add a lot.
To be honest, I couldn't care less about the 4C story. Sucks it got cut, but does nothing for me, personally.
Aside from the art, nope. I've read 3 routes and all of those were extremely rushed and felt like nothing happens in them, in addition to not being really interesting in general.
Just finished Higurashi Ep. 2
That ending was pretty awful.
That ending was pretty awful.
So they establish that the defining moment that changes everything for Mion and sets her down the path to eventually torturing/killing her closest friends and neighbors is that she didn't get a stuffed bear from the protagonist. This is the defining moment that sets off the chain reaction that causes the events in this story. After establishing that their best friend is a murderer our protagonist listens to a sob back story, forgets that his other friends are dead, and begins to sympathize with the weight of leadership Mion has had to carry on her shoulders. He then follows her, alone, without his only other surviving friend, into a secluded cellar where surprise shes going to try to kill him again.
days/weeks later protagonist cries about how mean the media is being towards his best friend who killed almost everyone else he ever knew and interacted with - noting the "distorted image" they used to portray her. Then everything else happens.
Do they ever explain how the entire village knows that they're the ones who broke into the storehouse to begin with?

Recommendations for horror themed or horror adjacent vns? I've already got Neighbor coming out in a few days and Death Mark won't be out until Halloween.
I've read Fata Morgana, Phenomeno, Cupid, and what's been released of Higurashi.
