Funnerific

That would mean having to play through the entire game, and it is quite long, to get to H-scenes (and with 4 H per heroine + 3 bonus scenes, you really want to spread it out), greatly reducing the amount of H (which would make it a non-August game and kind of put that art style to waste), or making it a Eushully game (with the "bang everyone" model), which would kill the romance and turn off a good deal of players - and it just doesn't have the amount of H content that makes Eushully games work.

About Eustia (spoilers)

Fully agree about the art, but who is earu? VNDB doesn't really have anything on him. A famous LN/anime writer?

What is special about Re: Lief?

hence my post I mean, the "oh" signals to me that it's more than just a reference lol

If you open the spoiler in the OP, you'll know it's not that. In fact, what is written there is not a spoiler for anything.

Are you asking for endgame spoilers? Because that's what it is.

Discussion =/= circlejerk. Expect people to disagree with you.

Thanks to you (my master) I think I've gotten a little closer to being an elegant (refined?) maid, but it still feels like it doesn't match my personality.

My god.

You completely missed the point. http://jisho.org/word/出る杭は打たれる I'm pretty sure the "superior culture" Nier mentioned refers to prescriptive grammar.

Dotokoi. Short, original, amusing and a generally pleasant read. Leaves a good aftertaste. Many endings. And it's free! Give it a go.

You is a second person pronoun. When you want to refer in third person to someone who is present, instead of using 'he' / 'she' you call them by name or some other way, e.g. our chief technician (here).

I really wish more people knew about this

Yuyukana was particularly annoying in the repetitiveness of the plot across 3/4 routes (excepting Ako), however the visuals and especially the BGM saved the game for me. I come back to listen to it a lot.

Despite playing more VNs than before, I've mostly stopped posting my impressions since then. There is the fact that finishing an untranslated VN doesn't feel like an accomplishment worth celebrating anymore, however there are mainly two reasons: 1) My impressions of the VN are too personal to be worth mentioning. "I loved that aspect of the game, but I'm sure most people wouldn't care", "I hated it, but I'm sure most people wouldn't mind". あと、単に恥ずかしい。 2) The game left such a bad impression that I prefer to forget about it asap. I think it's a healthy attitude to help one get through the regular disappointments on one's VN world exploration journey. This time, I played Aiyoku no Eustia, and simply put - I didn't like it much. However, I wanted to discuss the issues I have with the characters of the story. Starting with Caim, specifically. I'm sick of his tough guy attitude. He's not such a bad protagonist, he doesn't find himself at a loss for words every time someone makes a seemingly sound argument, he's capable in a fight - there's that. But He also has less face than the protagonist of Fortune Arterial, which was nowhere near as plot-focused, and chronologically came before Eustia. Moving on to Irene. I can't tell if August made an awful heroine by accident or was intentionally making fun of religious people with this one. Finally, something that concerns pretty much the whole cast. Basically, they're too Japanese, despite the setting. 1) Gladly accepting whatever unreasonable burdens other people push onto you. Letting others set your direction in life as if it's the most natural thing ever. Applies the most to Eris, Irene, Eustia. 2) Pride. Caim loves to lecture Fione, Irene and Licia about how spoiled they are, bringing up the miserable state of things in Rougoku, yet he and other characters, who are in a much direr financial situation, stubbornly refuse to accept easy money, insisting on earning it instead. I'm sure those prostitutes love their job and wouldn't jump at shortcuts to leaving the brothel. 3) 恩返し (returning the favor). This is related to #1, but specifically involves wasting your life away for no good reason, in a way that won't benefit anyone. Oh my, I'm really negative about the culture, aren't I? Then again, the VN is written by the Japanese for the Japanese, so it's understandable. I apologize for only touching upon the negative points and making it sound like it's the worst thing ever. It's not. I quite enjoyed the early parts of the game, as well as some specific things later in the story - and thanks to the complete absence of slice-of-life outside of non-Eustia heroine endings and side stories it was an exciting read all the way. Fione was decent, Licia was good and is my favorite character in this game. This post isn't intended as a review and is more of an outlet. Whether you agree or disagree with my impressions, I'd be glad to get some feedback. P.S. Listening to "Roots" was what kept me in the mood while writing up this post.

Trust me, you don't want to see it translated. Or at all.

Agreed. Give us back the gorgeous Furebaba art style.

Not this thread again.

Rewrite (Terra) G-senjou no Maou (true route) Haruka Kanata (Yui route)

Hoshi Ori Yume Mirai is not a countryside VN

A VN turned into anime without stuffing all routes in one?

The anime is good, and it's not harem. People people are just stupid and don't get that each route ends at some point and a new one starts.

I found the fandisk's Mifuyu route to be more depressing than some utsuge I've read.

Speaking of Akagoei's sequels, how much do I miss out on if I read Reminiscence without reading Akagoei games? How connected are these two series? Is Reminiscence heavy on the plot?
