Pretty Cure on Fuwanovel

Ragnarok is decent, but it definitely falls a step behind Frontier story-wise.  Normally, in Venus Blood games, you are presented with a choice between Chaos and Law (more direct translation being Conquest and Rulership), with numerous available endings on either end.  However, Ragnarok is the first game to directly add in the 'Ruin' element to the story.  Certain choices in heroine scenarios are presented that can incur Ruin as well as Chaos or Law.  In order to get the Chaos path, you have to have a certain amount of Ruin, whereas the opposite is true of Law.  Sadly, if you fall short of either, you get a bad ending at the game's turning point.  

Ruin is generally incurred by choices that would 'break' the heroines (think of it as being similar to the Madness choices in Hypno/Hollow) past the standard 'turn to darkness' level.  

Generally speaking, the story of Ragnarok would be 'average' for the series as a whole, being better than Empire but falling short of Frontier or Hollow.  The gameplay is basically a slight update on Hollow's (and like all new VB games, whether it is an improvement is entirely subjective).  

Given a choice, I would probably skip to Lagoon, because it is just more interesting, but I suppose they have their reasons.

@Clephas I said that I didn't think Ragnarok favorably, which obviously is because it's the sequel of the finished VN. That said, of course my feeling can change over time, just like Evenicle 2. It also interesting that Dualtail tried to add Ruin/Madness form into the story in Ragnarok, albeit at limited capacity. While you may think the story is not up to standard compared to Frontier (And admittedly it's the general problem in the sequels), gameplay wise Ragnarok is obviously has many QOL improvement compared to Frontier (If you want to chase S-Rank, and Frontier has tall order to got S-Rank in the first playthrough).

Anyway, my real reason writing this is to talk a bit about my word on Ninetail decision. While I also want to see them localize Lagoon and Saviour, I didn't mind if they localize Ragnarok first. That said, if you ask me which Venus Blood game that I want Ninetail to skip, it's obviously Brave. Then again, looking from the cameo Ninetail proably already decided to localize all Venus Blood games (After Frontier), so there's no other choice to wait until they done with the Kickstarter of their current VN done before moving on to more interesting VN (Especially Lagoon).
