By the way, there's some insight from our Mangagamer head Kouryuu in term of Da Capo 3 translation. Maybe it's not too much interesting for some people, but I think it's quite interesting imo.

Regarding blitzball, after I lose I decided to just never play the game again. To me here, the rule was quite complicated while Triple Triad was more simple if one want to talk about the rule (Although there's some complication though in regard of some rules). Besides I think Triple Triad was had more benefit imo, especially if GFs learned refine spell. In the end, for now I prefer Triple Triad over Blitzball here imo.

Long time no seeing this thread, so let me bump it here now because I finally finished Chapter 5 after long delay here. There's a combat too here of course, and it's quite hard if one play normally if only because you'll bound to underlevel there. My suggestion there would be just using Fumble strategy ie using higest color cost against the same color enemy (For example when enemy vanguard was black, you better respond with Kirara and fire her highest cost skill in order to reduce the black color mana considerably), and don't using any support skill to make sure that the enemy couldn't take the advantage of increasing mana (By the way, mana mean audience). I think that's all the strategy that I could think for Chapter 5 battle.

Not yet as far as my experience tell for now. Although perhaps I will in the future.

Okay, let me give some of the VNs, although keep in mind that the club might not as much as you expected ie might be loose in term of definition (Just circle of friends for good term). Da Capo 3 was had Official Newspaper Club as the prominent one and to lesser extend Detective Club. Yumina had Debate Club, which carry on even outside the school. And 11eyes was had Modern Study Club, which had the club activity consist of survive Red Night and fighting the enemy like Black Knight. That's all the VNs that had club that I could think for now.

No really, although the technique was good though ie cool. Speaking about bliztball, I remember that I tried to win the first match but I couldn't even understood the tutorial properly because it's too much. In the end, I'd never tried bliztball again. End of story. Oh, and by the way if you win the prize was not quite worth it because it was only allowed to made one empty node had +4 Strength which is not quite worth the effort imo. Besides as long as you not running from every encounter and keep activating your node with the spheres, your usual status should be enough.

I played this, and it's surprisingly less fan servicey than I thought earlier there and more charage oriented (Costume and goddess chest aside). And by the way it's very obvious when they'll had sex, also MoeNovel still using kissing as the euphemism for sex there. In the end, while this game was had quite a number of fanservice it's quite usual of charage imo (I just play Shuri's route though, so I might be wrong).

I only slightly care for Majikoi A here to be honest, but maybe I chose the 2nd one if only I'm quite familiar for the beginning tone there.

I think it's okay to play directly there because I think it's charage in the first place meaning there's no heavy plot that required you to read the sequel. Although I guess it could be fun though if you knew the events in the prequel (Da Capo 2), but in the end my suggestion just continue this. About side stories, there's an option to unlock it directly although beware of spoiler though. My advice here would be just unlock the stories naturally if one want to avoid spoiler. Okay, so there's 5 stories with varied length and content. My comment here would be the first one was very important as it was the real prologue for Da Capo 3 if one treat Weather Vane as common route imo, the 2nd was a little romance with Aoi and quite long (1st and 5th side stories were longer though), 3rd and 4th was very short and just tell the stories of side characters (Tomoe and Elizabeth) respectively and most importantly reveal that Tomoe was a hardcore katana maniac XDDD. The 5th was very important to Da Capo 2 veteran because it was belated epilogue for the prequel itself set back at 12 years before Da Capo 3 event (2060, while for other timeline it was at 1950 -1951 at London and 2072 at Hatsunejima again). That's all that I could gather here again. Oh, and Suginami was quite interesting that he never change in either at 2060 or 2072, then again he is one of the biggest mystery in Da Capo universe so it's useless to questioning that.

Just for reminder here, the survey will be end on this friday. So if anyone else somehow still didn't vote yet, go ahead and vote there.

As for the order, I think it's okay to doing whichever you like it first although I'll try to copy the order from anime adaptation (The episode focused on one heroine). The order according to anime was Charles (Episode 2), Himeno (Episode 4), Sara (Episode 5), and finally Rikka (Episode 6) before going to Aoi's. That's all for the planning here, and I think it's quite easy to enter the route comparing to first Da Capo (At least there's no alarm clock thing which vaguely indicates which heroine scenes you'll see). Oh, and just in case some user or lurker here read this you better read the side story first before entering Weather Vane first, because otherwise you'll thinking that the scenario looks sudden ie no introduction beforehand. As for the seiyuu here, I think they were doing the job good enough, although I only recognize three names though. The names were Nitta Emi who as we knew voicing Honoka from Love Live (Voicing Rikka), Fujisaki Usa (I knew there's her real name) who voicing Sara and her voice was the one that had quite unique tone (She was also Kamehameha from Eiyuu Senki and Tsukumi Sango from Koi Resort), and Nanjou Yoshino who had voicing some eroge characters there (Mera Azusa from Dracu Riot, Tsukishima Koko from the prequel) who voicing the character that I'd like to ask our Okabe Rintaro for his opinion (Just ignore that he commented on male wearing miko uniform though) below Just in case you didn't knew what I mean, yes Nanjou voicing a guy here who is quite cute ie trap named Watson. That's all from mine at this point in regard of Da Capo 3. Edit (7/1) - Now that I'd read some impression, I think I'll change my order to Sara's first, then Charles's, Rikka's, and finally Himeno's instead of doing anime order because anime order was just based on the prologue and not to the main story, while actually in main story I'd think that Himeno's was had more important role compared to Sara.

Maybe Koi Resort if looking from interface alone (Same company as Konosora). Otherwise maybe both of Dracu Riot and Noble Works if you interested in another charage. Hope it'll be help.

Thanks for the survey there, although I think you could do the survey as well here using poll (But if you need some name couldn't be help I suppose).

Okay then, and here's the save file for 100% CG. Hope it'll be help.

Welcome to Fuwanovel, and did you play any of Visual Novel yet? If not you could ask for recommendations and hope you enjoy yourself here.

Visual Novel Translation Status (01/21/2017) As for this week, the biggest news was obviously Da Capo 3 release which once again had some history with Fuwanovel like I stated several times here. And of course there's some controversy behind that. By the way, while back at 2012 I'm still not member yet, but I'd remember that I'd like to browse Visual Novel Aer (Fuwanovel old name) to see some VN news, and back there translated VN was not as much as nowadays. Also back there it was thanks to fans that we could keep getting good VN translated, because Mangagamer was still not as aggressive as of now if we talk about licensing and Sekai Project was still not become official company yet (Still categorized as fan translation). Anyway, I'll try to talk about that later and looking back at 2012 archive there's definitely many improvement there right now if we talk about translated VN number. Welcome to my VNTS Review here, and sorry for being late here. As for the title, let me explain about it later but it was sort of derivative from Love Live song just in case you interested. Other than Da Capo 3 release and some usual update, there's not much what I could write at this week to be honest if we speaking strictly from the updates. But let me see what I could write here. Other Before both of Sekai and Fan Translation section, let me said that ATLUS will localized Utawarerumono duology sequel (Or just in case you need some Grisaia joke just said Utawarerumono no Meikyuu for the 2nd game and Utawarerumono no Rakuen for the 3rd game lol). Actually I'd already saw this news from last week back at Erogegames forum and thought it'll be nice addiction to VNTS Review, but after it turned out it'll be localized for the consoles I decided to just ignore that. Although I said that I didn't interested in that, I believe both of sequels were good addition to any of Utawarerumono fans and should be played if one want to knew more about Utawarerumono (Not me though since there's so much to considering other than buying console here to be honest). Okay, Utwarerumono localization issue aside (Not for PC), there's good news from Libra translation namely that they finished all translation process for main game exactly one year after their successful Kickstarter (Congratulation to the team) and for additional update right now they finished translated both of new mini episode (Aoi and Lycoris story, also Iris story), although it's still halfway though for the progress bar itself. Look forward to March then when they'll be ready for the release. That's all for Other section here. Sekai Project This week apparently Sekai was add another secret project (Or sekrit project as they wrote) and right now it was at 20%. Apparently they decided to made the former first secret project as the 5th secret project, and also they remove the tracker for the 3rd secret project there. Don't ask me the reason why because I definitely didn't knew there (Duh), although once again I could only guess that the 3rd project was short one and perhaps if they removed it from the tracker it mean that they almost ready for the release. As for their other project which is Chrono Clock, there's another update there which stated that they'll had beta version ready for the backer after they sorted out the technical issues out there. Although this is good news, I predict that perhaps they couldn't make it to late January release as the progress was still not complete yet looking from the tracker (88.35% translated) and they said that they'll deliver it in few weeks. They'll deliver the good news though which is that the game will be 100% playable and can be completed without crash, and also they'll had another update at January end. My opinion here would be that I'm willing to be waiting as long as they didn't take the long time there, and looking at the announcement perhaps it'll be not too long if they talk about delay. That's all for my opinion about Chrono Clock. Other than Chrono Clock, of course Sekai also had some usual updates with their project. Tensin Ranman was almost completed looking at the progress and as long as Sekai keep their usual work it'll be definitely completed at next week (The progress for Tenshin Ranman was at 99.25% translated). Bokukotsu was also had update here with current progress right now was at 27.02& translated, and unfortunately for this week there's no update from Maitetsu but perhaps there'll be some update at next week. For last update here we had their 2nd secret project was at 57% translated. That's all for Sekai Project. Fan Translation There's no much in fan translation segment other than update here, although actually there's release though which is Black Wolf Saga which is VNR based (Quite divisive method at that). Although unfortunately it's otome though which to said it not my taste here, but if you could operate VNR and like otome game might as well give a try there. For this week there's no update in term of translation from Majokoi because of some real life business, but at least there's progress if we talk about editing which right now was at 59% editing. Speaking about Luna Translation, actually there's one update that I missed from last week namely Ushieta editing which right now was at 15% edited there. For more update from Luna Translation, right now Tsui Yuri was at 51% QC progress. For more update, right now Loverable was at 47.62% translated and 13.56% edited for one more usual progress. By the way there's little problem though ie I couldn't see Loverable update from my laptop, and I could only see the update from my android (Phone) here. It's just probably some bug out there on my internet though, so it's no big deal in the end anyway (Sorry). There's another unusual update here namely Sono Hanabira 11 which right now was that they translated 106 out of 120 scripts. And if some people who read this curious where's the update came from, just click this link. For last update from fan translation, there's Fortune Arterial in which they got another translator there apparently and right now for the progress the new translator managed to complete 2 out of 10 scripts for Erika's route. That's all for the update. While earlier here I said that there's not much here, turn out there's another interesting project which I'm surprised that I missed it for several weeks here (Facepalm to me). Anyway, the project was Hatsukoi 1/1 (I'll call it Hatsukoi from now on) which is one of Tone Work VN and it was their shortest VN. And by shortest I mean the shortest by Tone Work's standard, in which their later VNs (Gin'iro Haruka and Hoshi Ori) was gotten quite (in)famous for being very long and describe the romance quite nicely (The VNDB obviously state that Hatsukoi 1/1 was long by the way). Well, look forward to this game and right now for the progress they completely was at almost halfway for common route (47.39% translated) and overall was at 10.06% translated. I'll definitely will keep my eyes on Hatsukoi project here, although perhaps I need to keep cautious of several aspect though now that I'd tried to do some quick research (MC was very stupid according to all available review, so much that the company posted an apology video to angry fans). That's all for fan translation section. Mangagamer Once again they had biggest news here in regard of Da Capo 3 release both of censored and uncensored version. Although too bad that there's no regular update from Mangagamer though as of now yet. Hopefully they could give it at near future though because the updates were quite interesting to someone who look forward to it, and to be honest I'm one of the people who look forward to the updates. Back to Da Capo 3, which is had some history for this community. Looking at around 2012, our founder Aaeru was trying to translating Da Capo 3 using some divisive method like I mentioned above (VNR) at least according to some people. It was caused too much commotion in Erogegames forum back at 2012 which back then made me quite annoyed seeing the thread explode from one member there (Keep in mind that back then I'm still not joining any forum yet). After much commotion happened, there's another controversy happened in which the project was getting C&D by Mangagamer and causing Aaeru write some of her rage into Fuwanovel blog post. Back then I also think that Mangagamer take down her project was because Da Capo was licensed by them, although looking at current situation perhaps I was wrong. Oh well, all that in the past though and let us enjoy Da Capo 3 now which serves as the final story for Da Capo story. For last info about Da Capo 3, I think the setting was at 2072 looking from the February which had 29 days (And it's quite fitting after checking the date). That's all for my late VNTS Review, and see you next week. PS - Turn out there's another VN with the name of Hatsukoi and also had translation as well (The VN itself was old and the translation project was dead though). So I'll just called it HatsuKoi to differentiate it. Forgot another progress here earlier, and the project was To Heart 2. For the progress the decensoring was almost finished and the editing process was almost completed for Manaka's route which mean that it was almost completed for overall of editing process. From there it was only proofreading left, and after all of those process were finished hopefully the final version of ToHeart 2 patch was ready to be released. That's all for additional update. PPS - For the title, since we had Nanjou Yoshino singing another opening for Da Capo 3 (Or to be exact fripside) and when I searched for Love Live song I'd found 'Fuyu ga Kureta Yokan' which had Eli as the center for three girl group (Eli, Maki, and Nico). Since Eli's voice was Nanjou and we had sakura flower for Da Capo 3, I thought perhaps 'Sakura ga Kureta Yokan' would be fitting title looking at the translation. For more explanation 'Fuyu ga Kureta Yokan' mean 'Premonition that Winter Give to me', and my title was could be translated as 'Premonition that Sakura Give to Me', which is quite fitting that the girls (And our MC Kiyotaka as well) felt something wrong with Everlasting Sakura bloomed again after withered around 20 years ago. That's all for the title.

Finally finishing Yui's route after several times delay. Yui was kind of glutton (Same as our Flyable Heart MC Shou) and her favorite food was donut. After token triangle love from Amane, there's some sweet moment between Yui and Shou before finally found out about awful truth. Beware of spoiler below. That's all that I could said, and sorry if I couldn't write it well. As for next route, there's only Suzuno route left so obviously I'll read Suzuno's (Duh). I t was unlocked after finishing previous routes (Mayuri, Sakurako, Amane, Kururi, and Yui) by the way. PS - Oh, and speaking about seiyuu this time there's The Danza (Seiyuu and character name was the same by the way) in which Yui was voiced by Ogura Yui who also voiced Himiko from Eiyuu Senki, Nanase Rio from Imouto Paradise, and Yanase Eika from Ikikoi.

Well, if you still really want to started your VN playthrough then I'll just add Youtube video there in regard of VN for Beginner there. Have fun.

As far as 100% save, there is 100% CG save back at Sagaoz although there's no save game though in case you want a complete save file with good characters there. For Magic, I still didn't got Calculator Cube yet so might I suggest just going along with the story because Magic requirement was story event (At least according to the walkthrough, and I will prove it later).

Welcome to Fuwanovel then. No problem with your hobby there, but may I asked what kind of VN that you want to play here or did you play any VN there? Just asking, and hope you enjoy yourself here.

Still very early I knew, but let me say happy 33rd birthday to @WinterfuryZX there. Hope you had good year ahead.

Pretty much agree with Mr Poltroon there that common route was a way to introduce the setting and characters. So yeah, I'm more like in the 3rd choice at the poll there although I'm pretty much okay whichever type common route that any VNs were had.

My opinion? Just read it and find out whether it's good or not for you. Besides, the scores at VNDB was still at 8 anyway. So yeah, just read it once again. PS - Interesting review I guess if I may say to Decay.

Saw there's update about this in Erogegames forum, and think it would be nice update for VNTS. Then turn out the publisher was ATLUS which was console games company and quickly lose interest there (I didn't own the consoles in the first place). Other than that, I'd realize Utawarerumono was one of good franchise which had ancient Japan setting and it was quite good to most of the people out there. That's all I could say for now.

Perhaps I should said 'epic usual older RPG like Dragon Warrior 1 story' instead. Although if you said like that, can't debate much here. Oh, and one more thing I aready saw some HCG from this and I didn't quite like those CG.
