Oh nice, Marth's games are actually my favorites in the series. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I love Marth's progression, and the entire supporting cast.Finished Soukoku no Arterial's Devil route in 33 hours. Protagonist went complete anti-hero and have done lots of messed up stuff entirely to gain more power. I don't like seeing the whole team going down to this path with him, and I try to do everything in this route but still, I will need to do multiple playthtoughs of this route in order to complete the card collection. Let's see if I will do it anyway, seems kinda pointless if I am able to beat all superbosses without those cards.
Anyway, Human route next. But first, I am dropping the game for now to focus on Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. It helps stop me from getting too hype for Three Houses, a game which I am not certain when I can actually play. Ryuusei World Actor also comes out on the same day as FE so I will also play it to forget about the latter.
I enjoy it a lot. Going to get Minerva soon. Everything is good old FE (which is excellent) but I don't like needing to send members to die in order to enter the bonus chapters. It does make me think which units I want to build more carefully so it is a mix of good and bad.Oh nice, Marth's games are actually my favorites in the series.

Rance 01 and Rance 02 announced for the West. That's nice, hope it gets more people interested in the series.
I guess sacrificing units fits in with the whole duality theme of his games, then again it might be giving it too much credit when it's really just there to help struggling players before things like Mila's Turnwheel, Casual, or Phoenix mode. As a result I'm not that familiar with the bonus units since I dislike purposefully killing off people as well.I enjoy it a lot. Going to get Minerva soon.

Very good news to western players for the two Rance games. Hopefully more people will try their hands on them.
I enjoyed it last time I played it which I think was the Full Voice version.What's the consensus (if any) on Clannad around these parts? It just came out on Switch and I know it's one of the more well known VNs, but is it actually any good?
Yeah, I would rather not enter those bonus chapters if it means I need to kill people off. And I find it getting harder to pick as the team is starting to be filled with characters that I care.I guess sacrificing units fits in with the whole duality theme of his games, then again it might be giving it too much credit when it's really just there to help struggling players before things like Mila's Turnwheel, Casual, or Phoenix mode.

Mangagamer also has merch just for Western audiences like a version of Escalayer for a mousepad, and even Evenicle's Ramius has one.
Kinda jealous I haven't gone to a con they're at to get them.
It is regarded as one of the best romance VN. You will need to invest a huge amount of time if you want to 100% the game, so I would recommend just follow a guide and pick those characters you like.What's the consensus (if any) on Clannad around these parts?

I do prefer Kanon, but Clannad is very much a solid nakige.
Thanks guys, I think ill probably add it to my list for now and wait for a sale. I'd kind of like to see what all the fuss is about, but if it's not a case of 'you must play this', then I'm in no rush.Yeah, I would rather not enter those bonus chapters if it means I need to kill people off.

Regarding merch, I don't usually care about them due to lacking space and money. But if I like a tapestry, I will certainly try to hunt it down.

Personally I am not really a big fan of the Key's titles that I have played. I like (not love) Clannad and Little Busters! whereas both of them are regarded as masterpieces from a lot of people.
Good time to jump into FGO if you liked FSN right now. Anniversary just started so you get a bunch of free stuff.After almost two months, I finished Fate/Stay Night. What a ride, it took me so much because the only portability I could get was to play it on my Surface, but it was absolutely worth. Now I understand why Fate Grand Order has been so successful, the world which was inherited by the original VN is so rich, with a big variety of characters. Even though it is quire an old game, it ages pretty well and it is absolutely playable today. Moreover, it is incredible how it basically includes three games, one for each route, that at the same time are complementary to understand the whole context. To conclude, a few comments about the final part of Heaven's Feel and about the Last Episode:
I was sure that the true ending of HF would have been a sad ending, where Sakura died, since the tone of the whole route was quite dark. But I was wrong, it has been the traditional happy ending, where everyone apart from Ilya and Saber were able to continue their lives. I don't know if I would have preferred otherwise, but what I really liked has been the relationship between the two sisters. The moment in which Rin understand her real feelings and decides not to kill Sakura and hugs her is so touching; the fact itself that they were sisters was something surprising and basically overtuned all my expectations about this route. Then, the final battle between Shirou and Kirei was really good, since it was a battle where for the time they fought without using magic more again the time than against their enemy.
Maybe some minor flaws are the new Assassin, who just was really strong but didn't contribute so much with his own past story, and the role of Saber, whose death by Shirou's hand has been so fast, I would have preferred a longer moment where they could share some thoughts. But in any case also the third route has been great, almost on pair with UBW.
Then, about the Last Episode, I thought it could be a huge conclusion to the whole saga, but it is basically a conclusion of the Fate route. I suppose it is just fanservice and it is nice as it is, even though there were opportunities to write a much better final episode.
Now it is time to continue WorldEnd Syndrome and I just got the notification that Clannad is available in the DHL center to be collected (amazon.co.jp is impressively fast every time! Shipped on Thursday, already here on Monday). Too many good visual novels to play…
I tried to install it, but on my phone (OP3T) it is so slow... maybe it is because I am connecting from Europe.Good time to jump into FGO if you liked FSN right now. Anniversary just started so you get a bunch of free stuff.
My local store that I use to purchase stuff that otherwise I'd have to import myself has World end syndrome stocked, I'm thinking of taking the plunge

Now have I to see again everything until the last day of July, using the Skip function? Or are there faster methods?Worst Ending
Thank you! I have also discovered that by loading the save of 30th July, I can avoid to "skip read" the first two months, so now I can do multiple playthroughs of August. Maybe I will use a guide for getting all the endings, since the choices seem so many (many choices, 2/3 times per day) and I suppose there would be so many bad endings too.Use "skip read", that'll be handy as you'll likely do many playthroughs.
grisaia is one of my favorite VN series ever, great characters, cool plot, amazing mix of comedy and drama, i put it in the OP for a reason, it's legitThe Grisaia Trilogy Switch version is available on amazon.co.jp, shipping worldwide:
I was thinking about pre-ordering it, but with shipping fees and the deposit for import fees, it would cost me 80€... I was hoping 60€ like Clannad. Do you think they would be worth or not? Is it a good visual novel?
Thank you for your opinion, maybe I will pre-order it and will decide later if to buy it or not, depending on some outcomes (also about fundings) I am waiting.grisaia is one of my favorite VN series ever, great characters, cool plot, amazing mix of comedy and drama, i put it in the OP for a reason, it's legit
windows tablet or can I use an android oneJust tried Steam Link with my tablet and I think this is the way to read visual novels now. Worked so well.
