    I think most females in regular vn's are pretty strong. It's finding a strong protagonist which can be a hassle and a half

    if by strong you mean follow around the main character as a puppy, then yes, they are pretty strong.

     

    Hibari from Swan Song
    Mai from Death end re;Quest 2
    Haro from G-senjou maybe
    Saber from f/n s

  2. The steam version translation is a travesty, is not just a "localization", they basically added countless sentences just to make it political correct, this goes from minor edits to adding whole new sentences just to make the characters sound very PC, this goes for sex, politics, jokes, etc you name it.

    I would say that the voice acting in the main characters is a positive thing but that's pretty much it.

    So yeah, nipples wasnt the only thing they censored in the steam version, basically the whole scrip was changed.

    Thank you! I actually kind of had a feeling if anyone would have the answer it would be you

    Am I so predictable? I guess I am :lol:

    To be fair, this is a hell of a coincidence, I haven't visited fuwa like in years.

    Btw I'd still recommend the steam version since the text is more clear to read (the original version is like blurry and murky) and it has some technical improvements and you don't even need steam to run the game, also it's like 300mb and narcissu 1 is 90mb so is not a huge difference.

    Tell your friend to enjoy this masterpiece.

    Nah, the other choices matter too. The one choice is a big influence, but for example if you don't pick all the right Momiji choices, you don't get the scene where you start calling her by her first name and her route is locked for you.

    really? I don't remember any of that xD well I played it a long time ago but i remember for example saying to the teacher that I liked my childhood friend and then it didnt matter as long as i choose the heroine in the snow play day.

    Or the choices with your sister, about the milk or tea, if you decided to help her or not, etc.

    I don't think that even the date thing class was even decisive for what route you get later on.

    Still the choices are pretty straightforward regarding the heroine you want, is not something convoluted or cryptic like other games.  

  5. what guide?there is only 1 choice that matters and it's pretty obvious since it's about picking the name of the heroine you want to read (i dont remember if it is when you play the snow game or picking the girl on the classroom, one of those 2), all the other choices are for decoration.

  6. This will sound mean but how can you compete with the japanese voices? Specially in umineko where every one is top notch really, specially Maria, Beatrice and Eva (just to name a few) 
    Just by listening to the youtube video all the voices sound the same, even hideyoshi which should have some kind of accent sounds neutral (maybe a boston one?)
    Battler was the only one that I liked in the video. 
    The only way to do some justice would be to hire all the staff from the souls games but that's not going to happen.
    Maybe I'm wrong and they will manage to do an awesome job. 

    Either way I wish the best of luck to the project and I hope the succeed on their kickstarter (it's umineko so as long as they dont ask for something crazy they will reach the goal)

  7. You can play this version https://umineko-project.org/en/ which doesn't require anything to play it, you should theoretically buy or own the ps3 and pc version to play it... but again you don't need them. Basically it was an excuse to release something illegally and make it legal (it's not:ph34r:).

    The original art of umineko is charming in its own way and I would gladly play it if there was a way to add the voice acting of the ps3 release.... since I'm a sucker of voice acting I would recommend reading the ps3 port version (either using the MG and the add-ons from the ps3 or just the stand alone version from umineko project)

    Lyp-sync is not really a must (i actually don't like it), neither are the effects of rain or the battles, etc. Everything adds to the immersion for sure but IMO voices are a must for this game anything else is not. 

  8. https://pooi.moe/Locale-Emulator/ or alpharomhack 

    turning your system completely into japanese (minus the language itself) can become bothersome since many software you install detect your region and will auto install in japanese language even if you dont want to, for example bandicam (old versions) wont let you install them if your region is in japanese and will request you to download the japanese .exe, other than that there is no issue (?)

  9. My advice would be to read something rather short and that really really interest you, there are some very good vns out there that dont last more than 1-2 hours, like https://vndb.org/v18736 https://vndb.org/v9986

    It's about the same length as the first Grisaia, I believe.

    Grisaia is shorter than fate for sure, fate took me like 100 hours to 100% complete it while grisaia probably took me 50-60 (I do listen to every dialogue in the game without skipping any line, so take that into account)
