Check out Phenomeno. It's the only one that I know of in english. Unfortunately it's very short.

Actually this thread gave me some insights that I see less often about Euphoria, because there is a sites out there that lot that people just put on a pedestal for it... Fuwanovel is not a heavy traffic forum and she probably wanted a more personal response. I don't see anything wrong in one person creating a topic for this. Yeah, I know, she could have just searched for it but still... I might not be here on fuwa for such a long time, but that's my honest opinion. Because after all, the Forums are here to discuss, isn't it? It barely has new threads anyway...

Erm... Why? The metric system is used in most countries of the world. The only notable country using the imperial system is the US. I honestly hope that I just misunderstood your meaning with that sentence, otherwise I'm just straight up confused with this reasoning. You say that you would love to translate in English instead of American, but that's not up to your choice. At the same time you flatly refuse to change the imperial system that is the one used (mostly) only in America? Keeping the metric system even don't give the trouble of converting the values to the translators... ...Why? Seriously, why? Again, sorry if I got things mixed and I really hope that I did so!

I really like the Crunchyroll translation on this image. I think that's the general idea of what most of the fans are after and used to. People are just afraid of translations like Hadena and 4Kids *cofcofwhichsometimesifeelthatwegetthosecofcof*

Ciel nosurge has a english patch for modded Vita users or/and playlist on youtube with all the story and a lot of interactions translated. Ion is a really sweet and lonely girl who interacts directly with the player via the Ps Vita. She is super cute and warm, growing closer with you the more time you spend with her. And... Um... I really need to play more games with cute girls just being lovely with the player as I am out of other recommendations like these.

I wish the best of luck for you! Kazoku Keikaku is one of the VN's that I really have high expectations for it! Older translations have it rough... >.<

Hello! Have a nice stay!

Eden* They Were Only Two, On The Planet. (Short. Beautiful.) Last Window: Mayonaka no Yakusoku (Sequel of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 but it's not really necessary to play it. DS game, but you can play it on a emulator. Both are small and amazing novels.) Sekien no Inganock -What a Beautiful People- Little Busters! (And any other KEY titles that you find time to play, very long although.) Kono Yo no Hate de Koi o Utau Shoujo YU-NO (It's a classic and you may find the PC-98 visuals to be memorable in a era that we don't see Visual Novels looking as this anymore. Long.) Chaos;Child (Since you liked Chaos;Head. People say that this is much better.)

Oh my god. I guess that I'm never visiting Poland. Happy Jesus and Chocolate day to everyone!

Well, I really liked the Ciconia simultaneous release announcement.

It happens a lot with me. >.< I am ashamed for this but sometimes I just don't feel like continuing some novel... So I stop playing for a while and if it becomes a long period, then I re-start playing it from the begin.

I have the exactly same question as you. Searching I was only able to find this very old and vague post from Mangagamer explaining the differences. Sorry, I'm also lost but at least I can share with you this. Source: https://mangagamer.wordpress.com/2011/10/07/ef-the-first-tale-updates/ (It's kinda fun to browse the old blog and see how much Mangagamer has grown and changed.) I've also found at the end of the post a image of the manual in a blog that reviewed the LE of ef and say a little about the differences. Source: https://normanicgrav.blogspot.com/2015/02/unboxing-ef-fairy-tale-of-two-limited.html And if someone can be more specific about the changes between NNL's script and Minori's script, I would be very happy to listen.

Hello, I'm looking for notable utsuge. I'm kinda new to the genre and to untranslated visual novels, so I would like to know what are the best games. (Nakige and Kamige in general are fine too.) I'll be adding these to my "to read list" so don't worry about the language level. (Altough I would be happy if you can point out if some title in particular is very difficult to read even for people used to read in japanese, just for me to take note of that.) My wishlist in VNDB is a mess and I don't remember many of titles that I have added there, so please disconsider that as I'm trying to be more organized this time.

What a coincidence, hehe. It would be really awesome if people decided to translate these things for more persons be able to read them. I can read a little bit of Japanese, but I am in no way fluent and still need a lot of help with dictionaries and all. If you someday become really good at reading JPN, you can also check those books. Although I have not yet purchased them and can't say for sure that they are good! 超エロゲー or 超エロゲー ハードコア (I'm not sure if hardcore is just an revised edition with more content or a complete different book... Still have to research more!) ぼくたちのギャルゲークロニクル I'm kinda lost too in the releases, but that's more because of myself, since I let too many games on my backlog and let a lot of games to buy later... Also, I miss sites like the old Fuwanovel that could list all the current releases and fan translations with images... Of course, we have VNDB and new Fuwanovel, but the VNDB design it's kinda hard on my eyes with the small letters and long texts. And I it seems like the new Fuwanovel website is outdated? I'm not sure. That's just my impression without any evidence or whatever so. But anyway, in my previous comment I meant more in a way that I am really curious to know what kind of characters people in the 80's, 90's and 00's liked and why, y' know?

I would like to know more about Visual Novels industry history. I happen to have a Japanese book that kinda talks about this topic but well, it is in Japanese. エロゲー文化研究概論 増補改訂版 So that's very restrictive for people to aren't in a good level of reading in Japanese or just don't know... I don't see much people talking about older games and I would also love to know about titles that were really famous in another decades (both in the west and east) and why they were like that, who were the favorite heroines from past decades and etc... I think that this is a part that we are lacking in English and it would be really interesting to read more about it!

Can't we just settle on making an option of turning the honorifics on and off like in Newton and the Apple Tree? And I'll also just throw my two cents here saying that I also prefer games being translated instead of localized. Since I'm not from the US and there are customers from all around the world that want to read, not just NA. And it just feels awkward to have characters saying american memes and slurs because those fit in the localisation, I already suffer with these enough in regular games. But that's just my preference. I know/am learning Japanese, but since I am not fluent in the language yet. I do am a customer for the offered products so I will let my opinion here too, it's absurd to say that you can't complain about a product that you are the consumer like some users said that we should just learn JP if not happy~ I do think that the translation turned to be okay for this title reading the reasons! And of course, it's not by using honorifics or not, some nicknames, etc. That we define a great translation from a bad one! It's by properly translating the nuances and story into English. But we all have our feelings and voices about our preferences in translations, especially in localisations and say them in hope for them to be recognized and known, to them be considered by the companies and receive a product that is closer to what we wish to see.

Eeeh... Yes and no. I played Supipara and I can say that there is a bigger plot behind the scenes, which we didn't get the chance to see it complete but that's not very explored in Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 anyway. (We see only hints and a brief dialogue at the end of each episode about it. I suppose that minori would invest in this plot more at later episodes.) Vol. 1 Covers Sakura route. Vol. 2 Covers Amano route. So you can play these as an standalone Charage just fine, they are fun by itself if you like games like this. But for the true Nakige experience that Supipara was supposed to be, sadly we needed all the 5 Episodes.

I have the chance of studying in a model japanese school in my city here, but I'm in doubt if I should, since it is more money to expend and I'm already self-sufficient here... What it is like studying there? Would you recommend it? Hmmm. I didn't know that Forest had this system of choices. Seems interesting but definitely frustrating too. I still want to play it a lot anyway but I understand your point. Inganock is kinda loose but there are some 'mysteries' to be found out so that should help a little. The gameplay in Inganock is kinda simple and skip-able, I recommend doing it with a walkthrough if you want, it is just a simple system of 'choosing the characters in the right order'. And no, I haven't, I'm waiting for the re-translation. One of my problems with Japanese is that I get bored really fast since reading takes more time. I'm trying to read hoshimemo because is a story that I really want to know and I want to wait for the patch anyway... I fear that if I already knew the story, I would just drop midways. But I understand your point and think that it's a great idea. So I might do it with another novel at another time. With hoshimemo I plan to read the translation after, to see if I got everything more or less right. Aww, that's a shame. But haha, and don't worry about me talking about BL works. I won't. I just like to play games with the old boy and girl romance. And other genres like mystery, action, horror, fantasy, etc etc. (Although I can make exceptions if the game sounds really amazing, like Aoishiro for example!) I'll PM you tomorrow so we can talk more there, now I'm going to rest! Good night

Seems to me like Sekai is trying to clear its bad reputation if we group together their recent actions. (The re-translations attempts with Hoshimemo and ChronoClock, trying to keep with the monthly updates on some projects, offering refunds, translation status page opened, restructuring of the company team... I lost my faith on them, so I may be missing some stuff that I didn't check or see) Let's just see if this keeps up and they turn in a better company or if they will just continue being... Bleh. Also if they are really trying be a better company, it makes me want to punch them for releasing a Chinese translation without even checking it first.

Hi again, Haha, I want to play Aoishiro exactly because of the multiple bad endings and mystery! I don't mind much the romance on this one so everything is good. What you didn't like about Forest? I still have to play this one. And if you don't mind fantasy settings and somewhat poetry-like dialogues you should check Inganock. Although I'm not sure if you will enjoy since I haven't played Forest and cannot say if they are similar... I'm also studying japanese. If you want we can share materials to study one day. I'm trying to read Hoshizora no Memoria in Japanese now, but it is hard to keep yourself motivated in your first VN's since it takes much longer to read... And please forgive-me if asking this is rude, but are you perhaps a girl? I saw one post of you saying that you are writing an Otome scenario for Katawa Shoujo and that got me curious. Since I'm also a girl and I find kinda rare to know other girls that enjoy Visual Novels (Besides Otomege!) It's always nice to find another girl in the same hobby. (And if you aren't, sorry!) But anyway, have a nice week! And enjoy Enigma, I need to play this one later too!

I love April fools. I am always looking forward to the jokes. I loved FAVORITE voting poll, Google's spoon and Mage;s announcement on Steins;Gate. Edit: Oh no, the Steins;Gate announcement was true. I... I don't want this. Let the series rest in peace!

It depends on the work. Bittersweet endings tend to more memorable for me but there are sometimes that I don't want these. Some works makes me like the characters so much that I want some Key magic to turn everything all right for them depending on the situation. But there are works that I would like a lot more if they stick to the sad and beautiful ending. This is kinda of a ironic example since I mentioned Key's magic, but I would love if Little Busters ended with: But I wouldn't trade for anything my Key magic in Kanon or in some situations on Inganock. It would break my heart. It has been a lot of years since I played it, so I won't enter in details since I don't really remember much. At the same time I loved Saya no Uta and its melodramatic bittersweet ending made me think for a lot of time. So, it really depends on the work and situation for me.

PSVita or Switch, so I can play it in my comfy bed and not having to turn my notebook sideways. If the game that I want is not available for these platforms, then I will play on my notebook. Also, I never played before on PS4 but I think it would be really cool to play in a huge screen!

I've finished Supipara vol.1 and vol.2! Honestly, I'm not sure what to think about it. The characters were very charismatic, especially Kamishiro, Yuzuki and the cook whose the name I forgot and can't find anymore. Sakura also was very charming and funny on her route and the start of Vol. 2, but sadly later Vol. 2 she ended just being a bother on the few occasions that she appeared. (Sorry Sakura!) The game had some good soundtracks for more dramatic moments, which is unfortunate that they were played so rarely. And I won't mention the art, since it is all animated and there is a lot of beautiful scenarios and etc everyone knows that it is pretty, just Minori being Minori. But, other than that... I feel that Supipara doesn't have much else to offer. Even with the great humor, the situations don't vary much: You go to school, find someone, have a fun chat, go home. Rinse and repeat. Very rarely you go to the Café or Sea gazing, but I felt like these moments were too short and could have been better explored... What got me interested in playing Supipara was: I loved eden* and wanted to see more things from Minori. Specially because I found eden* to be so pretty and having a great drama. Especially because Supipara was tagged as nakige. So, I was expecting a sad story, or something that would make me cry, like Key titles. If you want to play Supipara expecting an emotional game like eden*, I'm sorry to say that I wouldn't recommend it... Unless you don't have anything else of the kind to play before. Don't get me wrong, Supipara is a good game. I had plenty of fun with the characters and seeing everything in motion was very charming. But it should be considered as an Moege, not a Nakige. The drama on Sakura's route is far too weak and different from all the possibilities that they could have done considering Sakura's background and career. I'm not even sure if the route was supposed to be just a slice of life or if the really really small conflict that they showed was actually the drama? Honestly, I don't know. The conflict in Amano's route was done in a much better way and it got me worried for her and actually crying on its climax. But since was done so close to the end and was so short, I can't evaluate Supipara as a Nakige. As a moege, it's okay, but even as it there is so much potential lost and very few new situations... So, I don't know. I liked because the characters and art. There are plenty of better games both in comedy and drama. I definitely expected more from the game. But Supipara is comfy and that's fine with me. Even if it's not a very good game, I still wish that somehow I could see the last chapters of it being completed. I would love to know what exactly is happening with Yukki and seeing the remaining heroine's routes. And lastly, I hope that other minori titles give me more a feeling of eden* than Supipara. (I've ordered a physical edition of ef, I hope that it doesn't disappoint me!) tl;dr: Comfy game, not great but comfy. Pretty art. Play if you are bored, want to laugh and don't have anything else to play. Don't expect much from it. And especially don't expect drama.

@Nekopie Don't worry, I also always switch between hobbies (or am just busy with University), so I haven't read a lot of VNs too even having discovered them in 2012~2013. Ah! You played some interesting titles. I just found out that Aoishiro was translated recently and almost never see anyone talking about it, do you recommend it? The synopsis really got me interested but I have such a long backlog to play already I also don't see many people talking about Rose Guns Days. I wonder why? But it is another title that I really want to play. My favorite titles are Sekien no Inganock, Saya no Uta and good Nakige games. I also enjoy playing Touhou, although I still have to finish playing all the games (and I suck on it). But I mostly enjoy besides Visual Novels, playing action RPG's, Simulation games, J-Games and Cute games in general. As for the image, just check your profile in the Forums that you should be able to find where to change the avatar. You definitely should create a VNDB account. Is a great way to keep in order what you want to play and what you've already finished. 1) It really depends on the person... I think that everyone has a different personal voting system in their heads, so it's hard to say. For me, I tend to be literal with the voting descriptions names. For example 8 in VNDB is named (Very Good), 7 is (Good) and 6 is (Decent). But I think that nobody besides me really use it that literally. I also might have enjoyed a lot more than the grade that I gave to a VN, but because of X reason, I felt like it didn't deserved a higher note or it was missing something... But I hope that other people can also answer your question, because I'm really not the best one to give it an answer. 2) There is a option to select if you dropped a game or stalled it, so just select that if you need. You can also insert a comment to explain why of that situation. Good luck in your studies! If you want, you can share with us what motivated you to study. (Or what untranslated VN titles )
